EDITED AFTER ACQUIRING BLU RAY AND REWATCHING: Before writing this I'm going to make a little mention of where I come from. I'm a huge TMNT fan. It all started with the 80's cartoon, but then I read the current comics, and saw the 2003 cartoon, which I also loved. Then I got the original B&W comics and loved those even more. I loved the first and second TMNT live-action films while I tolerated the third to a degree. I've seen and loved all the good incarnations of the Turtles and loathed and groaned at the bad ones like Next Mutation. Just so you know that I don't suscribe to that silly theory that a real fan should like every incarnation and I don't believe that theory that those people who don't like this film is because they don't accept change. I accept change very well, and I think people who dislike this film have very valid reasons to do so. That being said, I didn't hate it. I think it has some good moments, but in general it's OK at best, and while it's definitely better than TMNT III, it's still weaker than the other two live-action films and the two animated ones. THE TMNT: TMNT started out as a joke. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird published a comic book with the intention of parodying 80's comic books, just trying to have a laugh, and never imagined the sensation it was going to be. The comic shows the origin of the TMNT, four turtles get in contact with a mutagenic substance and transform into humanoid creatures, who are then trained in the art of ninjutsu by an also-mutated rat who learned it by watching his owner Hamato Yoshi. They live in the sewer and later meet a human lab assistant named April O' Neill, who becomes their contact in the human world. Eastman and Laird were big Frank Miller fans, and applied his style to the comic book (to the point where, as an easter egg, the Turtles' origin is a direct consequence of Daredevil's). The book wasn't a huge hit at first, but it gained a cult following. But then, the story would be adapted into a saturday morning cartoon, and that rocketed the TMNT into fame and they became a huge pop culture symbol. The cartoon made some changes to the story, like turning April into a reporter, making Splinter actually a transformed Hamato Yoshi rather than his pet and making Shredder a regular villain (he showed up just once in the first issue of the comic, where he was promptly killed). Incidentally, Eastman and Laird weren't fans of the light tone of the cartoon, and were much more pleased with the darker tone of the subsequent live-action film and the 2003 animated series. THE 2014 FILM (original review): This new film makes some changes to the basic formula (none of which are necessary or interesting) and it takes cues from different previous adaptations. For instance, they kept April's job as a reporter and his cameraman Vernon Fenwick from the cartoon, but they kept Splinter as a rat. They also kept the personalities of the turtles better established in the cartoon and the film (such as Raphael's attitude problems). But that's where similarities end. Instead of being an accident, the Turtles are an experiment, and there's no Hamato Yoshi in existence. The foot clan are gun-totting terrorists rather than ninjas or robots and... well, it gets a little complicated. See, the film subscribes to the quite annoying trend of having ridiculous coincidences all the time. Characters meet and it turns out they had met long before. An event happens and it just so happens that it's the exact thing the villain needed to happen for his plan to realize. It reeks of several script rewrites. There's the obvious "Turtles were going to be alien" that was changed, but some are a bit more subtle. For instance, it's pretty clear that character Eric Sachs was supposed to be The Shredder, but they changed that due to backlash, and they split the character in two. In consequence, it feels disjointed. I don't want to spoil things, but there are major problems with the film: the villains' plan is preposterous, the Turtles personalities are exaggerated and the acting is all over the place. William Fitchner is (like Raul Julia in Street Fighter or Jonathan Pryce in G.I. Joe: Retaliation) aware of how ridiculous the plot is, so he has a lot of fun hamming it up, but Megan Fox is impossibly bland and Will Arnett is shamefully wasted. The action is mostly generic and the fight scenes border on the soporific. That being said, the film does have some good moments. There are very few, but some interactions between the Turtles and between them and Splinter are very well done, interesting and actually funny. While I question the reasoning on turning the Turtles into hulking brutes, I'm not one of those who hate their visual design. I actually think it's nice and original, and I like the idea of heroes who are not impossibly attractive. Also, one of the action scenes is actually very well done and it's exciting. The real problem with the film is that it doesn't feel much like a TMNT movie. They could have replaced the turtles with, say, Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers or the G.I. Joe team and they could have had practically the same plot. They eliminated some of the things that, in every incarnation, made the TMNT unique and just keeping the same name doesn't make them the same. So, it's a complicated thing: I think this movie fails as a TMNT movie, but it does fine as an action film. Yet I can't help to think that people who are not already fans of the Turtles will probably don't like it. It sounds strange, but you have to see the movie to understand. All in all, I think it's still worth watching at least once. But then, depending on your views, you might consider a second watch at some point or you will promptly forget about it. THE 2014 FILM (after rewatch): While my opinion on the film is that it's still a stupid movie, it does improve after rewatching it. Once not constricted by expectations and knowing exactly how the plot is going to unfold, it gets easier to enjoy it for what it is. To be fair, the personalities of the Turtles are well done, and the film is chock full of easter eggs and references to previous iterations of the franchise. It's just a shame that they're wasted in a derivative plot with uninteresting villains. Still, I'd give it half a star more if Amazon allowed it. THE BLU-RAY: Unlike most Blu Rays these days, this one takes you straight to the main menu right after the Paramount logo, not forcing you to watch dozens of sometimes unskippable clips and ads. That's very welcome, since I like to see trailers in theaters, but they annoy me in home video, as they're always for movies I've already seen (for instance, the Guardians of the Galaxy Blu Ray starts with a trailer for The Winter Soldier, a movie that was released in home video months before). The film's video and audio quality are excellent. I've noticed how some new films try to exaggerate a grain effect in their home video releases, who knows for what reason, but luckily this doesn't happen here. The film has quite a few extras, but unfortunately, except for a passing mention of the original comic, none of them talk about previous iterations or adaptations of the franchise. Still, the ones we have are short but interesting. The first, "Digital Reality" is the one talking about giving life to the Turtles and the overall visual design of the film (sets, action scenes, etc.). As usual, it gives a lot of info in those little details that you never notice while watching the film but you'd definitely do if they weren't there. "In Your Face" The Turtles in 3D" details about what goes into making the film in 3D and they do a fair show of claiming why they didn't think of it as just a gimmick (this extra can be seen in 3D, even if you got the regular Blu Ray). "It Ain't Easy Being Green" takes a detailed look at the actors portraying the Turtles and all the job they did to become these characters with motion capture. It's interesting, but it's curious how there's no mention of the voice of Leonardo and Splinter being later replaced with other voice actors. "Evolutionary Mash-Up" is curious. It gives interesting information and compares the evolution of turtles in real life (i.e., the actual animals, not the characters) and the ninjas in real life, myth and culture. It's inequivocably educational, so I find curious its inclusion here, but it's very neat and it does showcase the fact that the filmmakers actually did their job doing research about these characters. "Turtle Rock" is about the film's musical score, and it's a fairly interesting view on the process, which is a bit odd for a film with such a forgettable score. "Extended Ending" is actually a deleted scene that chronollogicaly belongs right before the actual ending, and showcases April working back at Channel 6, which is something the finished film glossed over. Finally, the last two are the "'Shell Shocked' Music Video", which is the rap song from the film's ending, and a "Making of" of that video. The Turtles' adaptations have had a long history with rap music, and this one's no different. "Shell Shocked" is more contemporary rap, though, so it depends on your tastes wheter you'll enjoy it or not (I don't, and I have no shame in admitting I'm partial to "Ninja Rap"). One more thing: this Blu Ray comes with ninja masks as a gift. I understand it's an unexpected free, if cheap, extra (it wasn't there when I made the preorder, it was added later), and maybe I shouldn't complain. I mean, I think their gimmick is counterproductive. Instead of four masks, one for each color, you get two masks, which are reversible, with two colors each. They're OK in their own right, but that reduces the number of simultaneous uses to two instead of four, and not any two (you can't be Donatello and Leonardo at the same time, for instance). I mean, if your kid wants to play with three friends they need to get extra masks somewhere else.

The cute turtles I grew up with are no longer. They’re giant beefed up roughians now and their language and adventures are no longer for little kids.

As a huge fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I grew up watching the cartoons, the movies, and I have even read all of the comics done by Kevin Eastman, including the classics, the ultimate collection, and the newest series. I had the toys, the sewer system, the pizza thrower, the turtle van and about 30 different themed turtles including the originals. And when I was very young, my parents took me to Six Flags to watch the "Coming Out of Their Shells Tour" in which I won't go into great detail about. I feel I've read or watched every iteration of the turtle's back story. So as a kid growing up at the time the turtles were at their peak and being a huge fan still at the age of 29, I feel I owe it to myself and to others to do this review. ****Spoiler Alert**** I will probably reveal parts of the movie, comics, and previous movies in my review. The Good: The characters personalities are spot on. I honestly thought that Johnny Knoxville doing Leo's voice would ruin the movie for me, but he did an outstanding job with the voice of Leo in this movie. Donny is still the nerd, Leo is still the Leader, Mikey is still the party animal, and Raph is still angry all the time. Karai is in the movie. She is Shredder's great great great...etc Grand Daughter in the comics and plays a significant roll as well. I may go into detail about that later. The turtles are not from outer space. Thank God that was just a rumor. I would have buried Michael Bay in this review if that were the case. The ooze is still the chemical that turns the turtles and Splinter into what they are. I like that Michael Bay didn't make this movie as long as all of his transformer movies and kept the back story to a minimum. It leaves room to reveal more later, and to answer unanswered questions in future movies. I feel as though this movie is just kind of an acquaintance meet and greet movie with the turtles for people who have never seen or read about ninja turtles to get a feel for what they who they are and who they're against. Not to reveal all details of their past, shredders past, and the foot's past. Those details could be made into a movie by themselves depending on which iteration Michael Bay is going with. I like that Raph says why he's angry all the time in his speech as the turtles are hurled to the earth in a near death experience. It's something I think he owes fans for a long time coming. The back story is somewhat like the comic books in that they were a lab experiment that April let's loose when she's very young, but it ends there. The comics go into how splinter and the turtles are reincarnated with the souls of a Japanese Ninja and his four sons from futile Japan that were murdered by Oroku Saki (otherwise known as the shredder, in case you didn't know). In this movie, splinter finds an old martial arts book and reads it and learns it, and then he teaches the turtles. If this is how the backstory stays, I'll probably dock another star in a few years when the second turtle movie is released. But If the story goes into any details about splinter or the turtles being from futile Japan, I am all in on this movie series because I will have a better idea of where the story is going. This movie wasn't as bad as the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 that released in 1993. Although it doesn't take much to be better than that one. The Cons: This movie doesn't even show the turtles fighting regular crime on the streets. They're crime fighters too. They're only enemy isn't just The Foot. Or at least that's what my impression has been growing up with them. This movie portrays the foot as the turtles' only enemy and there is not a single fight scene where they're just stopping a robbery or a mugging, or anything like that. It goes straight to the docks where they throw shipping containers. That's one of the flaws in the plot IMHO. Meagan Fox is April O'Neal and she doesn't have red hair. Both of those facts are a con. Need I say More? Shredder looks like a transformer. Yup. Thanks Michael Bay for ruining Shredders suit after you've done a few Transformer movies too many. The turtles are dressed with items that represent their personality. They couldn't just let you see what each turtle's personality was, they had to make it so obvious it's all over them. I guess whoever thought of that had very little faith in the minds of people who went to see this movie. I mean really? Donnatello...with GLASSES???? AND what seems like a backpack from the Ghost Busters. I mean COME ON. Splinter learned martial arts solely from a book he "just so happened to find" "conveniently laying in the sewer". But as I said previously, this back story could still turn into something more complex so I'm not losing faith just yet. A little more plot depth. I can put the plot into one sentence. Here: The ninja turtles were part of a lab experiment, learned martial arts from their rat master who learned it from a book, fight against shredder and the foot clan until shredder tracks April O'Neal to their home in the sewer, kidnaps almost all of them, and then Raph, April, and Vernon go on a road trip to save them, and in the process they just go ahead and defeat shredder while they're at it. Ok so it's not grammatically correct, but my point remains the same. It's still a very shallow plot. Final thoughts on the movie: The movie itself wasn't spectacular. It had it's moments that made me laugh. It had it's moments (Raph) that gave me goosebumps the first time I watched it. It is similar to the plot from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it isn't as bad as the third movie where they go back in time to Futile Japan. Although I'm giving this movie the benefit of the doubt, I'm very excited and very nervous of how the story develops from here. I will always have a special place in my heart for the turtles, but this movie didn't add any significance to that place nor did it degrade that place. It simply was somewhere in the middle and that's how I will rate it until I see each sequel that comes after this one.

As I watched this movie I found myself smiling - it's light-hearted tone, the Turtles working together while allowing their own unique personalities to shine through, and the cartoony action sequences gave me the chance to just sit back, forget my worries and be entertained by the worlds most famous Turtles. And I kinda dig their buff muscular look!

So I just watched it on prime...and it I have to say it wasn't too bad. Sure, it wasn't Shakespeare by any stretch of the imagine, all the same though, it was entertaining, and for a movie starring colossal CGI walking talking turtles jumping around subduing foot clan cronies with style, I can't fault it on that level. However, the acting was a bit poor, and some scenes were a little cheesy. It was still fun though. Maybe not as good as let's say the original TMNT movie, the 2003 series, the animated feature that came out 8 years ago in 2007, or even the current animated cgi series on nickelodeon, although that is admittedly not a movie; it's a TV show that I would like to persuade everyone, fan or not, to check out (again, it's on nickelodeon, so give it a try). Some high points, the voices were top notch for the turtles, and they had plenty of personality, which is almost mandatory for a turtles film or series. I also appreciate that one of the main themes was "family," because that is always that basis of a good turtle story. Shredder was also, in my opinion, quite intimidating in this movie, and a worthy interpretation of the character just by on-screen presence alone. The complicated and sometimes complex backstory of Shredder's past with master Splinter was scrapped for the sake of time, and it was obvious for anyone versed in turtles lore, and that may piss some fans off, but the intense action scenes, humor and charm made up for a lack of interesting backstory and character development. One thing this film nailed down was how Splinter raised the turtles as sons, and the dynamic I appreciated the most and its inclusion towards the all important main theme: family, which helped the film escape being a total time waster. I also like the little rap song during the credits near the end, and it reminds me of the current intro for the ongoing turtles animated series on nickelodeon (Seriously, what are you still doing here? Go watch it.) If you've watched the very original cartoon from the 80's, the movies from the 90's, even the notoriously slammed Saban's Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, the animated series from 2003, the animated movie from 2007, the current series on nickelodeon that aired in 2012 -- the year the world was supposed to end, and finally this movie, then I would highly recommend IDW's current slate of TMNT comics by tom waltz, and as of now, it is currently 11 volumes in -- the 12th will be released on October 22nd.
