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!
