"Cowabunga!!" indeed. This is an Excellent movie ! I was nervous about being let down by this new, updated version of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", but i was not disappointed! This is the first time we have actually seen a live action "Ninja Turtles" movie since the 90's trilogy. The characters were updated slightly, but their attitudes and personalities we all know, are still the same. All of the turtles play their own voice except "Leonardo", who is voiced over by Johnny Knoxville for some reason.... that is not at all what "Leo" sounds like. That was a terrible casting choice, but the graphics in this film are phenomenal !! It reminds me a lot of the CGI graphics in the new "Transformers" movie. I also like the fact that these updated "Ninja Turtles" actually use their weapons to hurt & kill villains, unlike the classic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
It is so visually stimulating - especially the part where they are racing down the mountain during an avalanche.I also REALLY liked the part where "Raphael" used himself as a canon ball to take out a truck and I LOVED the elevator scene where they just break into a freestyle beat. This is a great movie, and not too long either - just about an hour & half.
"Shredder" is decked out with awesome armor and weapons - he looks like "Super Shredder". He kicks the "Ninja Turtles" asses individually, but with a move they call "buck-buck", together they all attack him at once and defeat "Shredder". Although, we see him finally die after "April O'Neil", played by Megan Fox, simply kicks him down over 100 stories,. She actually does a great job playing this role, (plus she is still the hottest woman on the planet). Will Arnett also does a good job in this movie as "April's" news team partner and he is hilarious!
I've always been a "Ninja Turtles" fan and even as an adult, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - I give it a 8 /10.
