450. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

November 30, 2014

Ripping the plot from 'The Amazing Spider-Man', this equally unnecessary franchise reboot was a complete waste of time as well as a really terrible cartoon movie. I knew from the beginning that I wasn't going to like it, but I had heard a few people say it actually wasn't terrible. So, I guess I expected to be pleasantly surprised, like 'The A-Team' or something like that. Absolutely not. This movie was actually terrible. It was garbage. The turtles looked, sounded, and acted ridiculous. Shredder was basically a guy in a robot suit. April O'Neil (Megan Fox) was a fluff reporter who wanted to be something more and found herself in the thick of things when she stumbled on the nefarious Foot Clan looting a shipping dock and happened to see a Ninja Turtle at work. Nobody believed her and some nerd at work made fun of her for jumping on a trampoline. Turns out the turtles and Splinter were her pets as a child (sort of) and her dad and William Fichtner (the best part of this movie and most movies that he is in) were doing genetic research on them years ago. Fichtner went bad and O'Neill had to save the turtles from a fire so she dropped them in the sewer where they learned how to be humans, basically. They also had Hulk-like strength. Present day Fichtner planned on releasing a disease from the top of his building that only he could cure because he had the antidote from the turtles that he didn't know were alive still. Recommended for five year old's, but no one else.
