Film review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Prior to its return to television there has been a major worldwide sensation for the release of the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Micheal Bay, alongside Andrew Form, Ian Bryce, Galen Walker, Scott Mednick and Bradley Fuller, this film which happened to hold a budget of $125M has topped all expectations and has earned approximately $185M worldwide in just 10 days in theatres! With excellent actors like Megan Fox and behind the turtle masks: Noel Fisher (Michelangelo), Alan Ritchson (Raphael), Johnny Knoxville (Leonardo) and Jeremy Howard (Donatello) Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies have earned it! So grab your popcorns because we’re going to see why this movie was so awesome!

The plot was nothing new. It was clichéd and fairly basic- the anthologist ‘Shredder’ and his accomplices were on a mission to release an obviously dangerous toxin into the atmosphere whereby driving the public bankrupt by purchasing antidotes and of course, the turtles had to save the day. Although the movie was straight forward and embraced simplicity, it was suited for all ages which is a huge thumbs up for the producers given that their target audience was nothing but a wide scope.
Like every other adventure/animated movie, this one was no exception for it encompassed a wide array of genres- it was terribly action packed with a mixture of comedy as well as suspense and a whole new dimension of adventures that had me in awe! It was far surreal than any of its other debuts since it had an edgier live-action on the legendary talking reptiles who posed as saviours for the city.
What was fascinating was the fact that all four turtles (protagonists) had unique personalities which I insanely applaud the writer for. The computer-generated action was bordering perfection especially with the 3D effect that held up to its standards. Most importantly what I adored was the fact that the violence was children-friendly and the actors embraced the absurdity of their roles. Additionally, the dialogue was quite consistent with its target audience since it was comical at certain instances.
Moreover, overall I’d give this a 4/5 rating since it was a splendid compilation although the plot was cliché. I’d personally recommend this film to everyone and to catch it at the Princess Movie Theatres before it ends!
