Editor Review :

There is no need for the backlash that this new reboot has seen. The original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film is still the best turtles feature, and although this is not the fan boy's dream like we all hoped it might be, it still brings an interesting dynamic and proves that the Turtles are just as fun to watch as ever.

A real fan isn't afraid of change, because change happens all the time, especially when a new director takes on a project. They want to make a mark and tell their own story, and whenever a new remake happens it is almost a guarantee that it will dissapoint. It should be known that my previous experience with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been the original three films, and before that the action figures and tv series, and most recently TMNT(2007). The entire brand had already lost steam with the masses by the time I was 5, so naturally, I became detached from the story and timeline. I'm aware of the in betweens, but have not bothered to follow since the third film.

The original film was written mostly by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and was an amazing comic/tv series goes to big screen phenomenon, but im sure they had plenty of adult critics to listen to in the late 80s. The kids that saw that film are grown people now, and I bet they don't have a bad thing to say about the original turtles movies and show, but that doesn't make them perfect.

So imagine my excitement being moderate after hearing who was involved, not as director although I'm sure direct influence. At least we get a new turtle movie.

So when comparing the original content to this new reboot, one needs to be accepting of a little of the same with a lot of the new. It was a lot different in the 80s and 90s. The turtles were going big time and popular as hell to the masses. They were a fresh commodity and the public was eager for more turtles, so how could they grumble about a silly kids movie about ninja turtles.

Now we have four live action transformer movies, and Michael Bay just keeps cherry picking from everyone's childhood toybox.

I really enjoyed this new movie so the bias is stated. I was ready for this movie to dissapoint like most modern toy films. For some reason the transformers movies didnt do anything for me because they had always been toys or cartoons, and way before my time. It was hard to care about optimus prime. But this is a reboot of a trilogy of movies that I owned and watched countless times when I was young. I was not looking forward to this. I was ready for a bunch of movie with a lot of no turtles. I was so wrong.
