The mountain / snowy scene is probably the standout but, again, everything feels too polished and too perfectly CGI.
#TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2014 MOVIE ACTION FIGURES MOVIE#
Will Arnett is a funny dude but nobody was watching a Ninja Turtles movie for Vern.Īction is fine… sometimes good. There’s way too much focus on April O’Neil and WAY too much time spent on Vernon Fenwick. William Fichtner does make for an awesome bad guy though.
He has Iron Man type armor with more blades than Super Shredder from Secret of the Ooze. He’s not just a dude in a ninja suit with some blades on him. Shredder looks like Silver Samurai from The Wolverine. Obviously they aren’t going to look like the dopey ninjas we got in the original cartoon but what we get here is just a dopey military unit with guns and a bunch of pouches, wearing masks that make them look a bit like the Immortals from 300. The Foot Clan looks nothing like the Foot Clan should. Normal humans, no matter how much military or martial arts training, are no match for these hulking ninjas. It just means that future installments need to make the bad guys that much bigger. They shouldn’t be able to throw shipping containers around and shouldn’t be towering over every one of their foes. The main thing that bothered me was their size. It gave each of them a bit more visual personality, even if that wasn’t something that was ever needed before. I’m not totally against the elements of flair on each of the turtles. The design of the turtles got a lot of flak from fans. After that, the movie bears little resemblance to the original source material in design or tone. The movie opens with a cool intro / credits sequence with an art style reminiscent of the old Eastman & Laird comic books that started this whole TMNT craze.
As a kid who grew up playing with the original Playmates toys, I just hoped it would be a fun flick. Many fans also complained about various aspects of the design of the new CGI turtles. Leading up to the release of this movie longtime TMNT fans bemoaned Michael Bay’s involvement despite the fact that he was seemingly nothing more than a producer on the project. When New York is threatened, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles emerge from the sewers to protect their home.
