I will say that this is more tolerable than the Transformers movies as it is only 1 hour and 41 minutes where Transformers is nearly 3 (KMN) but it has so many problems. Now producer Michael Bay and Jonathan Liebesman directing have their hands on it and boy does it suffer. Then we had the Jim Henson’s movies which the first two are also a lot of fun. The Ninja Turtles is a particularly nostalgic brand for many men (and some girls) my age as we grew up on the cartoon, which was fun, silly and engaging. Believe it or not all these franchises were actually good in the 80’s but many modern adaptations have been dreadful. First Star Wars, then they had to suffer Batman and Robin, Daredevil, Spiderman 3, XMen 3, and Transformers. Without their strong movies all their beloved franchises have been destroyed one by one.
Let me start out by saying thank goodness for Marvel and Christopher Nolan because at least boys have something to hold onto and root for. Well, I avoided it for a long time but there’s nothing on TV this week and it was a huge hit in 2014 (I try to see the big hits and I always go to every movie with an open mind, even Michael Bay movies) so I decided to watch it. I know you have all been on pins and needles waiting for me to review the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.
