Just watched it.
I havent kept up at all with recent Turtles media;the 2007 cgi movie was the last thing I saw.
Anyway, while it doesn’t hold a candle to the 1990 movie, its nowhere as bad as Tomatoes,
15 percent is maybe for the MK Annihilation level of movies.
It is very over the top Bay style, but Id say its an ok matinee movie.
Pros:
The turtles themselves - design, fx, personalities. Voice Acting. Raph reminded me of the 2007 version ,mild brookyn accent w/tough guy.
Jokes were decent.
Action especially the snow chase
Cons
Megan Fox seems to be trying earnestly to act , but it doesnt show enough.
Will Arnett needed better lines and his thirst for april seemed ill advised
The end scheme is very similar to the end of amazing Spiderman 1.
Karai , even though a bit part, was ill cast. Most Asian females look younger than their age. This bitch looks 45 and gets bodied easily. lol
The big problem IMO is with the Turtles/Shredder origin/relationship…
[details=Spoiler]The turtles and Splinters orign is DEVOID of Hamato Yoshi. There is no mention of Shredder being Oruko Saki. He is simply an evil ninja master who takes in Erich Sachs as a young man, as his father was a military officer stationed in Okinawa.
Later, The turtles and Splinter are being experimented by Aprils dad who is a scientist under Erich Sachs,who is now a scientist/businessman. They expose them to mutagen, and under a mysterious fire, the turtles are saved by kid April and released into a sewer.
also, April names the turtles and splinter as a young girl. Splinter learns martial arts from a book in the sewer.
It is revealed that Sachs killed Aprils Dad because he knew about his evil plan. so April can now have revenge as a motive…
Without the yoshi/saki rivalry, (and no tang shen ), there is no weight to anything behind Shredder. He is a simply the head of the foot, with no ties to , thus making the battles hollow.
What is funny is that after all the outrage over when Sachs/Fichtner would be Shredder, we see him 2 min into the movie adressed quite plainly as Shredder lol[/details]
Though the turtles use their weapons and not cold cuts, and the humor isnt as lowbrow as Transformers, 1 fart joke.
From best to worst… I’d say 1, 4, 5(this one), 2, 3
