Worst Turtles movie ever made.

No. TMNT3 is one of the worst movies ever. U know the one when the go back to ancient Japan. Now that one really sucked. Way worse than this movie.

feel almost the same. easily the worst. I would have preferred a sequel to tmnt over this. that said I'm glad this movie exists and the turtles are still goin.

This was pretty bad. But I think the distinction of worst turtles movie belongs to TMNT 3 which slightly edges it out.

I grew up with the TMNJ

I'm going to give my most unbiased spin on the film. I watched a good portion of it this morning.

Not a good film. Many aspects of the film I really disliked. There were good parts but not enough to make me want to watch it again.

First things first, the good parts I liked. There aren't many so I can go through this quickly.

I grew up on the turtles from a very young age so I do have a fanboyish side to me admittedly. Even so, I still thought this was a crappy movie.

Anyway....good parts. They portrayed the family bond very well. They gave enough to make you really want to like the turtles to a certain extent. They showcased the utilisation of teamwork between the brothers. This particular aspect is something I much prefer seeing in action movies. I'm fed up of watching these stupid films with guys like Chuck Norris, Scott Adkins, Jason Statham and Steven Segal going off on their stupid little ego stroking by mowing down leagues of men with their poncy little martial arts flicks. At least with the Turtles, the main message they convey is that teamwork should always triumph.

The many aspects of what I didn't like about this movie: -
I'm not one for over analysing acting performances. It is irritating to see bad reviews from people whining about poor acting when most of the time they simply don't like the actor or actress but can't admit their pettiness. Now, I like Megan Fox. However, I really do find she is an appalling actress and it really showed itself watching this movie. Whenever the camera panned on her to show her response to dramatic sequences, I was cringing at her facial expressions. I can't explain what it is exactly but nothing about her felt quite right. I think she must be unable to blend into the role at times because in other films she does blend in better, from what I've seen. Perhaps it was just mis-casting. Michael Bay just wanted her in the movie for marketing purposes is my guess.
I will only ever say bad acting when throughout a film it becomes distracting to the point where I don't want to see the person on screen anymore. So, maybe she is not necessarily a bad actress so long as she is in roles more suited to her personality. Most actors and actresses are only considered good because they make the role a slight extension of their own personality anyway.

I also found the plot to the movie very rushed. It seemed like they had specific plot devices they wanted to fit in and it was all just squeezed together to make the movie watchable. The ending battle when they were scaling the building to fight the shredder felt very rushed to me. This might just be my own opinion again.

The turtles have always been portrayed as somewhere around 5ft4 to 5ft8 tops in height. They're meant to be ass-kicking underdogs that can triumph over most adversaries using teamwork and discipline as well as clever problem solving. However, in this movie they looked like imposing monsters. Personally, I preferred the more smaller statue they've had before. It also convinces me more they are still teenagers at the end of the day.

The voice acting for the turtles and the personalities given were hit and miss for me. I had no complaints for Leo and Raph really. Dons voice and personality seemed fine but I didn't like Mikey. His voice sounded weird and his personality seemed really really weird. I know it's silly but I'd have loved it if they stuck with giving him a stoner surfer dude voice. Maybe make him less a weird perve too.

There are other little things I didn't really like too. Never mind though. The IDW comics are incredibly entertaining at the moment. I'll always have my fanboyish turtle ninja fix from there.

If any of you have not seen the IDW revamped comics yet, I'd suggest giving them a try. Bebop and Rocksteady have been given an awesome makeover.



Careful what you say to me. I will argue with you forever. I enjoy trying to prolong arguments :D

The original movies were worse than this to be honest.

Honestly, it wasn't that bad compared to TMNT (2007). Apparently, that movie was a continuation to the original cartoon series and movies from the '80s to the '90s but failed to live up to its potential.

I'd say the best movie out of all of them was Turtles Forever (2009). Now THAT'S how you make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
