TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

The Plot: The continued adventures of the four adolescent mutated turtles gifted in the art of the ninja, as they attempt to stop a mysterious evil that threatens to end the world.

The Pros: Fantastic animation. The turtles have taken a turn for the better with this crisp, flowing, and exciting CG makeover. Their muscles change with their movements, and their skin shines flawlessly in the rain. The action also gets a good boost from this new style. It's really something.

The Cons: Just about everything else. The story might as well be non-existent, the dialogue is just sad, and the character development is nil. Jokes are incredibly cheap, and laughably bad.

The Bottom Line: This really is a movie for the family. It's safe for kids to watch, and occasionally fun for the adults (on account of the beautiful visuals and action). The big downside is the complete lack of effort on the part of developing a story and a decent script. But, if you really love TMNT, go ahead and give it a try. It's the same old turtles with a new look. And I kinda (I stress "kinda") like it.

The Score: 5 / 10
