Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Rating 5 out of 10
When I was a kid the big cartoons were Scooby Do and Johnny Quest. By the time the karate kicking turtles came along I was out of the cartoon watching phase and I had a small son that loved them. I thought they were cute but could never remember which one was Leonardo or which one was Donatello. Still can't. That was 20+ years ago and they are still going strong. My youngest son also loved the Ninja Turtles.
I went into this movie knowing I was not in the target audience. Special effects have improved greatly since the last Turtle movie. This movie starts off at the beginning and I believe takes a little different turn on how the little turtles grew so big and learned how to use nunchucks. They befriend the pretty reporter April O'Neil ( Megan Fox- looking good again after her ten year dabble with being way too skinny and over dosing on tattoos)
If you are a male child between 6-15 years old you will love this movie. The rest of us not so much. The effects were good and there was plenty of action. The story for me kinda dragged along and amazingly enough the bad guys didn't destroy the world (spoiler alert). If you have a young child that wants to see this there are worse options for you. I was mildly entertained yet was ready to see the closing credits.
