DVD Review: TMNT

I missed the turtles. Growing up in the 80’s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (now that is a mouthful of a name) are one of my favourite cartoon characters. It seems the trend in the movie industry today is reviving the 80’s icons. They resurrected the Transformers to the big screen (with great success if I may add); and Knight Rider, 90210, etc in the TV’s.


In this movie, they used the latest technology in CGI to create a fast and modern update of the hit TV show. The CGI is absolutely breathtaking; the fight-scenes, though non-violent (for the kiddie audiences), are amazing. The turtles still deliver a few funny lines occasionally, but overall humour was toned down a bit in this movie.

The storyline is a bit shallow, but hey, it is a movie about mutated talking turtles trained as ninjas, just how farfetched can you get?

Overall, this movie is an excellent walk through memory lane. If you are a fan during the 80’s, then this movie is an excellent treat. If you have not heard of them before, then this is your chance to check the turtles out. It is not too late to be a fan. Cowabunga dude!

Verdict: Rent it.
