The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie, TMNT

I just saw the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie, TMNT. It was great. Granted it’s animated, but that’s the only real medium for the Ninja Turtles. Don’t get me wrong, the live actions were great and all. But you can only do so much. You just can’t get the same kind of kick ass fight scenes that you do with animation.

But I digress. The new movie has all the kick ass fight scenes you could expect from the Ninja Turtles. And of course it has all the comedy too. And I’m not just talking about Michelangelo, though he is a laugh a minuet. All the Turtles bring something to the pot. Donatello with hi attempts to rain in Michelangelo and Raphael, well Michelangelo at lest. Raphael with his temper to get him into trouble and Smart Ass attitude. And even Leonardo as he tries to whip his brothers into shape once again.

And for those of you who don’t mind spoilers, my two favorite scenes are when Raphael gets his ass kicked by a mutated Gremlin on steroids, they even have the Gremlin laugh. And When April and K.C. are handling the final monster.

The animation is great, totally top notch. The story line is killer, may be a bit fast at some points, but with all the action who really cares. And it leave things open for a sequel!

I give TMNT 5 dragons out of 5 plus a ninja.
