TMNT

Product Description:
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, Splinter (Mako), becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Maximillian J. Winters (Patrick Stewart) is raising up an army of ancient monsters, and only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them--Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelley), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North)! With the help of old allies April O'Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Casey Jones (Chris Evans), 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.

Amazon.com:
From a visual standpoint, this CG feature starring the venerable '80s and '90s superheroes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is nothing short of slam-bang; the computer animation has a scope and look that transcends both the original comics and animated series and the three live-action features that preceded it. Writer/director Kevin Munroe creates a striking animated world for the four heroes in a half-shell to live, play, and fight in, and the action sequences are occasionally breathtaking in their speed and complexity. But where TMNT stumbles is its bland plot, which picks up after the last of the live-action features with all four teen turtles in disarray, and abandons longtime villain Shredder in favor of an industrialist (well voiced by Patrick Stewart) who recruits the Foot Clan (including Karai, played by Zhang Ziyi) to revive thirteen ancient monsters to aid in his world domination scheme. It's a simple and fun story for kids, but longtime Turtles fans will miss the wry humor and smart sense of irony of the original comics (created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who gets an executive producer credit here) in this storyline. Still, for most adolescent audience members, such concerns won't matter a whit in the face of the abundant action. --Paul Gaita

Rating: - As a lifelong TMNT fan, I was surprised when this movie (almost) made me not care about the characters
Given the new CGI technology, I believed it was possible to reboot the franchise but this TMNT movie doesn't do that.Did anyone really care about the monsters or the immortality story?I didn't and I thought of that as just a cheap way to fill the time with a bunch of swordfighting.Here are some random thoughts about the film (from a lifelong TMNT fan):

The only character that I truely did care about in the movie was Raphael and he gets the most time on screen.His resentment towards ... Read More
Rating: - A movie for all generations to enjoy.
Being a previous fan boy of the turtles as a toddler in the early 90's and after watching this film, it reminded me how I fell in love with the turtles in the first place. That being said, this film is well paced with action packed sequences and filled with trademark TMNT humor that should appeal to all ages.
Rating: - Good movie, Great Blu-ray disk
When TMNT first came to dvd I hated it, I just hadn't watched the most recent TMNT animated series, so in a lot of ways I didn't understand what was going on. Well since I seen this film I went back and watched the series and it makes a lot more things that take place in this series add up. While it's not truly set in the series time line I at least knew more of what was going on. So I decided to buy this movie on blu-ray.
So with the story being abit confusing to those who've not seen anything ... Read More
Rating: - Better than the reviews say.
If you're not a fan of Ninja Turtles, or new to the franchise, this movie won't likely convert you. Very little background is given; unless you already know the turtles and their personalities, you'll be lost.

If you're a fan who grew up with the original series, or even became introduced to them with the newer television series, you will enjoy this movie. It's not as good as the first two live action movies, but it's better than the third. It does an effective job of developing the turtles, ... Read More
