This is a story about the four little turtles was accidentally contaminated the especially chemical mud solution so that they become great turtle warriors. Although they still have the shape of turtles, they can walk and talk like humans. A teacher has nurtured and taught martial art for these four turtles to become the guardians of justice. The context is New York City, where crime is widespread increasingly and people are yearning the appearance of the heroes. That is when the ninja turtles emerge from the sewers and begin enforcing the justice.
I had to draw on my own ninja training and reflect intensively on the transitory nature of all phenomena, just to fend off the profound yearning for death.
The failure of [the film] is not a result of irreverence towards the original source material, but rather a lack of curiosity and imagination concerning that promising title it's cashing in for name recognition.
It's essentially a Transformers movie - a Michael Bay production complete with mass destruction, urban panic, white-hot lighting, inane quips, product placement, explosions and, well, Megan Fox.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't so much provide brainless enjoyment as it pummels the viewer into submission. "Shell-shocked" is a reasonable description of the experience.
Michael Bay, using Megan Fox as bait, hit pay dirt with "Transformers." Now they've made a nice amusement park thrill-ride with 2014's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' re-tread.
It's pretty much business as usual: one personality trait per turtle (with the most screen time for party-dude Michelangelo), lots of wisecracks, plenty of thin-crust product placement (Pizza Hut this time around), and even a last-minute cowabunga.
Turtles fans might have been looking for their own Avengers. They get Alvin and the Chipmunks on performance enhancers and mass-market pizza instead. In Hollywood, history repeats first as farce, then as marketing.
It has hints of heart, and one or two good sequences, but a rent-a-baddie villainy, a poor storyline and paper thin characters leave it floundering in generic action territory.
In one way, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a triumph for producer Michael Bay in that it is equally as godawful as his Transformers: Age of Extinction and a hit nonetheless.
