5.0 out of 5 stars Both old & new school....Great, gorgeous & clever ..." I do hope there's more of them...", March 24, 2007

The Turtles triumphant return to the big screen. This time round its computer generated, which adds substantially to the emotional range of the characters. The art directors hedged their bets by stylizing the human designs rather than the risky attempt to do any ultra-realistic representation. But, the turtles are animated to gorgeous mutant perfection, as you'd expect. This allows for the terrific dynamic between the brothers, especially the expressiveness necessary to convey some of the more charged moments between Leonardo, just returned from South American soul-searching and brother Raphael chafing at the need to follow any orders. The siblings deal with these issues in a way that none of the other incarnations of character have taken on, the series has grown up with it's audience, those of us who were fans of the original books, movies and TV shows. It will still appeal to its new generation of Turtle fans, but it is surely the most clever and best written of any non-comic version. While the film still combines elements of the currently running comic book series with the original film series and the currently running Saturday morning fare. Don't worry, it combines the best elements...really. Throw-backs include some sewer skatin', Splinter joinin' the fray and a "I love bein' a turtle" closer. Not to mention a timely soundtrack, like a particularly effective use of a cover of "Black Betty" during Raphael's scuffle with the Jersey Devil appropriately enough in Kevin Smith's kitchen.

The voice talent is particularly notable in TMNT: Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar is an excellent April, Patrick Stewart is a perfect mult-millenium-aged warrior-king, the venerable Mako (Aku of SAMURAI JACK & that wizard in CONAN) is a natural for Master Splinter, cameos from Kevin Smith a.k.a Silent Bob (as a cook), Laurence Fishburne of the Matrix narrates, also, Ziyi Zhang, Chris Evans (as Casey Jones) and others.

The story is pretty good, if maybe complex: The Turtles have gone their separate ways, Leo off to become a better leader, Raphael embarks on a solo vigilante career in the absence of a team, Mikey does kid's parties as a Turtle-headed Cowabunga Carl, while Donny, of course, is a phone-bound tech-support. No back-story or origin of the turtles is needed nor is it supplied, we are thrown right in with a Lord of the Rings style set-up of a warrior who opens a gateway to immortality, but in doing so, releases 13 monsters upon the world and when our story begins in the present, 3000 years later, the time has come to make things right, with the help of the recently reunited Turtles, the FOOT Clan (lead by Korai, the Shredder's adopted daughter and sole heir, although this isn't referenced in the film) and some living stone warriors from the old days. The team ultimately work out their interpersonal issues and team-up for the epic climax including Casey & April.

Great, gorgeous and clever " I do hope there's more of them..."

4.0 out of 5 stars TMNT, April 25, 2007

This review is from: TMNT (DVD)

Leonardo is in South America learning to be a better leader. Raphael and the others are still in Manhattan, but he is distant from Donatello and Michelangelo. He is spending his nights as the Nightwatcher, a superhero who is protecting the city. Soon, strange things start happening, and April O'Neil, friend of the turtles, tries to get them back together to fight this new menace.

Using the live action movies from the 90's as a vague history, this CGI film jumps right into the story and doesn't let up until the end. This is my first turtles movie, but I have to think that CGI treats them better than the live action movies did. There are no limits to the fight scenes and camera angles as they bound across the city. "TMNT" was surprisingly good and entertaining. Kids and action fans will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Awesome!!, August 8, 2007

This review is from: TMNT (DVD)

This is what a comic book movie should be! Spider-Man 3? It's got nothing on TMNT! This was fun, exciting, and hysterical! It was everything a TMNT movie should be... and more!

See, there are two TMNTs. There's the comics and then there's the cartoon. The movies never really counted. The comics were original, cool, exciting, interesting - everything an independent comic about 4 fighting turtles should be! Now, the cartoon was great too! It made it more accessible for kids (the comics were definitely for older readers) and fleshed out the more fun side of the turtles but it was still great TMNT action! The movies, well, they plane stunk.

But now, we've got a great TMNT movie that blends the best of the comics and the cartoon into one fun-filled 90 mins! The CGI is tops, with great action sequences (we're talking actual sequences where you can tell what the hell is going on. Could you do that in Spider-Man 3? No!), amazing visuals, cool editing, and a great palette of colors and designs. Add to that good voice acting, a great story, excellent directing, and you've got a really good movie... and a hellavu good TMNT movie!

That said... I'm so going to be in the theaters for TMNT 2! Bring on the Shredder!
