However fans of the original cartoon series and live action movies will probably be wondering where all the nostalgic fun went. The result is a glossy slice of mindless entertainment that will no doubt appeal to its target audience, with plenty of fart jokes and over-the-top action. The CG animation is also pretty good and an obvious step-up from a bunch of blokes in suits. About the only thing that the film does get right is the spirit and character of the turtles themselves, even if they are gigantic over-muscled six-footers in this version. The cast includes William Fitchner, Will Arnett, who should know better, and Whoopi Goldberg, who's probably just glad she's not in Theodore Rex this time. In fact the filmmakers have been doing more backflips than a martial artist as far as the story is concerned and it shows in the film. Our titular heroes don't even make an appearance until 22 minutes into a film that tries too hard to change the established backstory of the turtles themselves. In fact you get quite a lot of Fox's character, so much so that the film feels more like the April O'Neil story than Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You also get Megan Fox, who has presumably kissed and made up with Bay after likening him to Adolph Hitler on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. So you get all the usual Bay cliches like tons of CG, explosions, 360 degree camera pans, slow motion, female objectification, juvenile humour and loads of product placement. In fact at times the film feels like it was also directed by Bay, although it was actually directed by Jonathan Liebesman ( Battle Los Angeles). This new film is yet another Michael Bay production, so at least viewers know what to expect. ![]() Directed by Jonathan Liebesman the film has grossed over $108 million at the global box office.So it doesn't come as a surprise to discover that everyone's favourite pizza eating, martial arts practising reptiles are the latest franchise to get a modern update. ![]() This Raphael statue is a must-have for any TMNT fan, and the perfect addition to any collection.”Ĭheck out a photo of the set below and pre-order your copy by clicking here!Ĭurrently playing in theaters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stars Megan Fox, Alan Ritchson, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, Noel Fisher, Will Arnett, Danny Woodburn and William Fichtner.
