The heroes bad half-shell are back in an action-packed remake produced by Transformers iPhone 5 case director Developed Bay and directed by Reliability African filmmaker, Jonathan Liebesman (Wrath of the Titans, Battle: Los Angeles).

Before Teenage Mutant Ninja Frogs even entered production it was judged as a recipe for disaster but also was surrounded by controversy – particularly the rumour about the turtles being involving alien origin.

Thankfully the cede concept (and some other bad ones) were scrapped, and we now have a fabulous surprisingly enjoyable guilty pleasure.

Sure enough, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an accomplished film that should’ve been not good, but is somehow enjoyable.

Typically film follows the four ninja turtles (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello but also Michelangelo) who with the aid of reporter Early O’Neil (Megan Fox) has to keep the diabolical Shredder (Tohoru Masamune) from taking over New York City.

Because Developed Bay is involved, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles embraces the same combination as the Transformers iPhone case films: Big on your action, thin on plot.

Typically film’s biggest downfall is an fast pacing, which rushes a plot and holds the story in the past a bit. The swift pacing what’s more equals lack of character development as a general rule of the characters are underdeveloped. Strangely enough, April was the only well-developed particular individual – despite the film being given its name the four reptiles. Yes, their particular origin tale is told actually nicely, but it felt a tad bit hurried, almost as if it needed to be meatier instead of simple.

The film includes short runtime, which of course talks about its speedy pace. The film’s villain, Shredder disappointingly gets n’ development at all, as he seemingly at random bursts into the film and combat.

While the plot is thin bright white simple, it was surprisingly adequate but also entertaining. If more story entered the plot, then we might’ve ended up with a potentially great four-star film.

Like the Transformers films, a action is ridiculously fun to enjoy as the sequences were well choreographed – something we’ve come to plan from a Michael Bay film.

Shredder was definitely a formidable enemy to the titular heroes as he more or less beats them all into a pulp while avoiding flinching. However , his costume appears that of a robotic transformer on a brings me to ask why a filmmakers couldn’t use his pioneering costume? The robotic costume accomplished the villain feel more like a fabulous robotic Hulk instead of the ninja enthusiast the character is known for.

Megan He gives a decent performance in the act of April O’Neil, while the speak talent of the CG rendered frogs is pretty solid, with Michelangelo the scene stealing hit.

The enhancements are top notch as usual while the membrane is filled with humour that actually brings out a laughs.

The tone of the membrane is light and campy, similar to the much beloved 1987 living television show aimed at kids. Although I wish the film rather were made towards long-time fans with a night time film reminiscent to the 1990 instalment, which was more in line with the original comic book heroes the entire property is based on. But a result of the popularity of the current running TMNT program on Nickelodeon, kids are simply great target audience and are the ones that’ll inflate the seats.

Despite its speed and short runtime, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a mindlessly fascinating entertaining addition to the franchise. I hope the filmmakers fix the majority of the mistakes of this film for the follow up, which is set to release in 2016.
