Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reviews

Man, what a silly film this was. It is best for people whose minds haven't become hardened by years of movie watching or who are still young, say, 8-9 years old, or even less. Frankly speaking, nothing in the movie reminded me of the movie; it reminded me of other things. The Turtles, especially Raphael, reminded me of 50 Cent, Elias Koteas as Casey Jones reminded me of Breckin Meyer in Clueless and Jay Patterson, who plays Charles Pennington, reminded me of Stephen Tobolowsky. These details were very distracting!

Apart from that, the emotional, or expression, value in this film was that of a matchbox. Nothing made sense. Also, the Turtles weren't realistic enough, something they become in the sequel, the only installment in the dreadful franchise that I actually quite-enjoyed. This film doesn't know when to draw a line, and doesn't even bother, one of the reasons why I had mixed feelings in the first try. My 9 year old sister kinda enjoyed and that's what counts, since I had downloaded it for her.

Anyway, the only performance I actually enjoyed was by Elias Koteas as Casey Jones. He belongs to a "genre" of actors known as "Cool actors who can never become big but still entertain us", to which Peter Greene, Kim Coates, Sean Bean, Denis Leary and others are members of. Seriously, he is the only one who makes sense in the film. All the others were just OK.

In conclusion, not a worst movie, just a silly one aimed for kids with a few inappropriate scenes in-between. Nothing more!

5.5/10

After all these years, it is still pretty strange that those ninja turtles are still massively popular. I mean, if you think about for just a minute, it is actually a seriously concept but, somehow, the audience really loved it and still loves it to this day. Sure, when I was a kid, I did watch the cartoon but, even though I thought it was fairly entertaining, I wasn’t really a huge fan. On the other hand, my little brother just really loved the damned thing and I’m pretty sure he saw this movie when it was released. Eventually, it took me about 20 years to finally to watch the damned thing. Eventually, to be honest, I really hard a hard time to care for the whole thing and I thought it was just seriously boring. I don’t know, maybe if I had watched it when I was 12 years old kid, I would have enjoyed it more. But unfortunately, I'm in my 30's now and I thought it was actually pretty lame. To conclude, I thought it was pretty weak and I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of those turtles.
