Plot Summary: After the defeat of their old
arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling
to keep them together, their rat sensei, Master Splinter, becomes worried when
strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Max Winters is
amassing an army of ancient monsters to apparently take over the world. And only
one super-ninja fighting team can stop them—those heroes in a half
shell—Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael! With the help of old allies
April O'Neil and Casey Jones, the Turtles are in for the fight of their lives as
they once again must face the mysterious Foot Clan, who have put their own ninja
skills behind Winters' endeavors.
EN 5 Second Review:
The beauty of TMNT was its corniness, that's gone
replaced by way too cool CGI. We want our Donatello back.
Kids will probably find it fine, but for those of us who remember the
Turtles, this is a cheap imitation.
Impersonally
animated and arbitrarily plotted, the story appears to have been made up
as the filmmakers went along Ed Gonzales: Slant Magazine
A personal entanglement between Leonardo and Raphael is the
story's idea of gravitas, but Leonardo is completely let off the hook
for his brash outburst that he is "better" than his brother. Of course,

where's the pizza?...more

Ninja Turtles cartoon series by heart; I lined up for
the 1990 live-action epic on opening night. So it burns to
report that this all-CG reboot is missing the goofy
excitement of the old TMNT...more
The
rubber suits are gone and they've been redone with fancy
computer generated technology, but that hasn't stopped them
from becoming, well, dull Joshua Tyler: CinemaBlend.com In the end, the thing that
saved the other Ninja Turtles movies was being funny.
Perhaps your kids will find this new one just as hilarious
as we did when we were their age watching the originals in
our feetie pajamas, but you won’t. The gags are few and far
between and without even that to inject some life into this
limp script, TMNT is a bland, plain cheese when it
should be a supreme with extra anchovies. I’m ready and
willing to admit however, that I may simply have passed the
Turtles by....more
