Am no huge fan of TMNT nor a geek about it, but I like the turtles a lot. I remember watching those TV series and a movie with Shredder in it. The TV series was really good. Anyway, this post is about the recent movie, which was full CGI.

TMNT Movie Poster:

This new movie is pretty much the same legendary resurrection blah blah, nothing in it. What is good in it is its character detail of each of the four turtle brothers (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael).

And as you’d expect by the movie’s obvious title ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’, there are a lot of cool stunts and fights. Enough to set your eyes bouncing from one edge of the screen to another without caring anything about the plot. Overall, the best fight is between the brothers themselves. Raphael’s been ignoring Leonardo’s orders after the latter’s return from training and he challenges Leo for a fight. The rain and the stunts in that sequence was simply cool. The rest about stopping the 3000-year old legend and other monsters etc wasn’t really good.

I’d give this movie a 7.5/10 for its effects and a laugh here and there. And yes, the DVD’s out, go get it! (And did I mention that the music was good in the movie? Am getting myself its OST, for a while.)
