This is a all new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film with 3D.
Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O'Neil and her cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder's diabolical plan.
The turtles were a plus. They looked cool and were the most entertaining characters by far. Mikey was funnier than he was obnoxious and Alan Ritchson(?) pulled off a suiting Raphael. The low part of the turtles I thought was Johnny Knoxville's voice for Leonardo. I felt it didn't fit. The fact that the turtles were teenagers if today resonated well also. I was impressed their was a WuTang reference. More pluses include the action sequence and fx. They were both well planned out and on point, but the plot, oh the plot.
This brings me to the minuses. The plot seemed quite stretched to make Megan Fox's April character carry more value in the storyline of the turtles. Also I know the demographic for these films is always a young one but the dialogue concerning the story was far too simple and laid out for the viewer. A lot was conveyed by means of telling instead of showing. Especially when Splinter was around. Jesus Splinter needed something different going for him in this movie I found he was a weak point in voice acting and his place in the movie in general.
