TMNT is better than all the live-action ones. The diologue is too cheesy at times, though.

I'm not gonna lie: I love TMNT. I still watch the show from 2005, and am constantly borrowing the DVD of the newest TMNT from friends. I finally bought it, and realized I should write a review for it, especially since the reviewers on Common Sense Media seem to have it out for the turtles. TMNT is just a plain out cool movie. The characters are great (I love Raphael especially-just look at my screen name!), the animation is pretty good, the fight sequences are incredible, and the script is good. Of course, this isn't a completely serious movie-it's about ninja turtles for goodness sake! But that's not a bad thing: it's a nice break from the increasingly gritty superhero movies out today (did anyone actually watch the original Batman TV show? Talk about campy, it's nothing like The Dark Knight!). TMNT also boasts great messages about working together and brotherhood. All of the turtles are nice role models as well, eventually overcoming their anger by the time the credits roll and helping one another to save mankind. The movie is almost squeaky clean, but the violence and monsters might be a bit much for younger kids, as well as the fact that Casey and April are living together. I DEFINITELY reccomend TMNT, it's awesome!

This movie is one of the best action movies that I've ever watched.

I would have preferred that he see something else but he was excited about the movie since he plays with Ninja Turtle toys/figurines. It was a very dark cartoon, with more violence than ideal. There was with lots of battles between the stone soldiers and monsters, and then fighting amonst the TMNT and others. He loved it, I tolerated it, but he chose this movie over The Robinsons as his top pick.

This movie is fine for kids - nothing bad to speak of, but it's just SLOW! Usually these kid movies at least have some humor for the parents... I think I chuckled once. By far not the best movie out there.
