I was a massive fan of the Turtles growing up in the 90s(who wasn't) and with that in mind I must say this version is an abomination. Even knowing that this was from the Michael Bay camp doesn't help because this ruins and spits over everything you grew up with. It's not even a "so bad it is good" film. Megan Fox, in the last throes of her career plays April O Neill and Will Artnett plays her creepy co-worker. The turtles look and feel larger and more menacing then their cartoon counterparts and even the effects and action is nothing special.

Even if you aren't familiar and just want an hour and a half of popcorn entertainment then this is perfect, I really enjoyed it.
... View MoreHave you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.
... View MoreThis film is absolutely disappointing in a lot of ways. It completely goes against what made the TMNT awesome. First things first, this film is really boring. And the reason for that is that the story is not only average at best, but it also drags on a lot. There's no where near enough action for this to be a true TMNT film. Or a decent one, at least. The acting is so- so as well. Megan Fox, while she is pretty good in some scenes, she doesn't come off as believable for the most part. I will be honest and say that the voice acting is pretty good. The CGI is pretty great as well. But other than that, this film is extremely dull and disappointing, and I honestly can't recommend this to anyone, as it will most likely not fill the expectations of viewers expecting a great, action packed TMNT film. This film will also most likely just make those who aren't fans of TMNT just wish the film was over sooner due to how dull and surprisingly not interesting this film is.
