TMNT
(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Movie)

Those crazy teenage mutant ninja turtles are back in TMNT who have been transformed into 21st century CGI in an action packed movie suitable for all ages. Featuring the voices of Sarah Michelle Gellar as April O'Neil, Patrick Stewart as Max Winters and Chris Evans as Casey Jones, this new incarnation once again reunites the turtles after a long absence. The leader or sensei of the turtles is Splinter who is brilliantly voiced by Mako and there is even a cameo voice by "comic geek" Kevin Smith as a diner cook.

Although their old nemesis is gone, the Foot Ninja make a welcomed return, along with an ancient evil that threatens the very fabric of humanity. Fortunately for mankind, those turtles have once again donned their shells and picked up the weapons of feudal Japan as  Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelly), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North) do what they do best... kicking evil butt!

Although the storyline of this current TMNT pays homage to the original cartoon series, the story is a little weak and the action is kind of light but the characters manage to pull the story together that will leaving you wanting a sequel as the credits come up. The star of this movie is the state of the arts computer animation that is quite simply breathtaking and it's almost as if you are playing a computer game. Kevin Munroe also returns the film to its almost original conception of a dark comic, unlike the 90's "surfing" attitude. A fun and light-hearted action movie.
