As a child of the 80's, I was looking forward to the return of the Teenage Mutant Turtles to the Big Screen. The Final Result for me is a mixed bag.
Short synopsis of the plot line: April O'Neill, portrayed by Megan Fox is a Reporter for Channel 6 in New York, regulated to covering Fluff Stories. She is attempting to get a lowdown on a recent crime wave, by the Foot Clan. Through her investigation, she meets up with The Turtles and, and their Ninja Master Rat Splinter. It is revealed early on that there is past link between April, The Turtles & Splinter – a changed part of the story that I like. Turtle Michelangelo, voiced by Noel Fisher, keeps you laughing with his wisecracks, and Megan Fox does an adequate job playing April. The other voice talents do fine as well, and I think look of the Turtles is fine, internet criticism and all.
Having said all that – The overall story and some of the Dialogue needed to be fleshed out. Some fun, but I can't rank it over the original 1990 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", or the 2007 Animated TMNT. If the Movie does well at the Box Office, I hope for improvement with the Sequel. 2 ½ out of 4 Stars.
