Editorial Reviews

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the animated tale of four baby turtles who mutate into superhero bipedal creatures. Trained from their youth by ninjamaster rat, Splinter, the turtles are given the names of great Renaissance painters: Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo. Fully trained, they emerge from the sewers with a vengeance into the strange, dangerous world of humans when creatures from another realm attack New York City. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack features three exclusive songs written for the film. Gym Class Heroes bring their own brand of hip hop influenced rock with Shell Shock , the mighty Cobra Starship offers an exclusive new Turtles inspired song, and Big City Rock covers the Lead Belly classic Black Betty . Voice cast includes Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patrick Stewart and Kevin Smith. Directed by Kevin Munroe, original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird return to revive the amphibian heroes for the big screen this spring! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is in theatres March 23, 2007, with the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack landing on store shelves March 20th.

4.0 out of 5 stars Next Best Thing, March 24, 2007

I would have perferred they released this soundtrack and a score soundtrack. I did enjoy this CD and don't regret buying it. It's just my prefence. The music score in TMNT, mainly the main theme, sounds just like the main theme in Catwoman, which I thought was strange, but it seems to work. Would've been cooler to hear some hint of the first live action movie's theme included since this is a loose sequel to it. I really would have liked the score released but this is the next best thing and a lot of the tracks have a nice beat to them. Good CD to blast in the car!

5.0 out of 5 stars totally awesome soundtrack!, April 21, 2007

Alright, so my review is obviously 5 stars! Here's why: For a movie soundtrack, this is probably the ONLY cd that i've actually enjoyed all but one of the songs on it. Sure, people have complained that it's lame bands/groups and it ruins the movie, but as a standalone soundtrack, it does really well even if it wasn't from the movie. RIP IT UP by JET is one of my favorites, along with LIGHTS OUT by P.O.D., and "Black Betty" by BIG CITY ROCK. Klaus Badelt adds to the cd some orchestral pieces that make it a complete soundtrack. The only downside is that i REALLY want there to be a complete orchestral cd from this movie - alot of the score music from the movie is really great so hopefully one will be released soon. So forget what everybody else says about this soundtrack being terrible and "it's not worth the money"...JUST BUY THE SOUNDTRACK!!! I guarantee that you will like at least 1/2 of the songs, if not all!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Turtles are back!, October 12, 2008

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles O.S.T. (MP3 Download)

The TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) soundtrack to the 2007 CGI movie of the same name rocks! Different from the first three movie soundtracks, it departs from its heavily rap and techno dance formats to a much more rock/alternative ambience.

Kicking off the CD is the fast rap/rock song, "Shell Shock", by Gym Class Heroes. It also features other previously released songs from Meg & Dia, Cobra Starship, Cute Is What We Aim For, Jet, Pepper, Billy Talent, This Providence, Ever We Fall, Big City Rock and Christian rock band, P.O.D. Following and keeping in the tradition, it also features two score pieces ("I Love Being a Turtle" and "Nightwatcher") by movie composer, Klaus Badelt.

My only gripe is that they didn't include the movie's opening theme, but overall, I was pleased with it. It took me a while to get used to the rock format.

If a sequel is in the works, to include another soundtrack, I hope that they (the movie and music depts.) will keep the same format for the accompanying soundtrack.

The Turtles are back in full swing. Rock on!
