TMNT (BD)

Great movie watch it

My son's love TMNT and really wanted to watch this movie. So I bought it on Prime and they watch it all the time now.

So, been on a TMNT kick, just recently finished up my first watching of the 2012 series. I wanted to see another take, and I was finally convinced 3D doesn’t equal awful content when it comes to a series. (just a personal preference, 3D has kind of always been a make or break quality to watching something.) This is also 3D just in case I lost you on my rambling there. I really enjoyed this movie, quite a voice cast and the fights were pretty great. I don’t know if this is a tribute to some arc or story in the comics or in a video game but it was a fun story, and an interesting watch. The art style didn’t appeal to me at first with some characters, the turtles actually. But at some point it really grew on me.

When I heard about this movie coming out, I groaned. Yeah, fabulous...another cutesy butchering of what was originally a somewhat dark comic series (dark compared to what it is now, anyway). And I know that TMNT is aimed at the younger masses today, so I understand some kiddie-fying to make it sell. Anyway, I was impressed by it. First and foremost, the animation had my attention. I kind of liked the tall, slender look the Turtles were given...as opposed to looking very wide in past incarnations. And all the characters seemed to stick relatively true to their actual personalities: Leonardo being the teacher's pet, Donatello being the geek, Raphael being an angry jerk, and Michealangelo being an idiot with a surfer's voice. Why they turned April into a cutesy teenybopper-looking girl is beyond me, though. The plot was cool - I like how they used a comic book ally (Karai) besides having the Shredder come back to life *again*. And I like how the Turtles kind of went and did their own thing when Leonardo left to go find himself in South America. Sure, they remained in the same home, but rather than fighting crime, they all went and got jobs. Well, save for Raphael. Then again, this struck me as a little odd since in past movies, the Turtles were encouraged by Splinter to not let themselves be seen publicly. Sooo, now that's okay? That threw me off a little. I don't want to spoil it too much for folks who have not seen it, so I'll just say that it is a really good animated film and if you like the Ninja Turtles, it's a pretty nifty film.

I believe the movie is called TMNT because the first "T" may mean Twenty-something, as they are no longer teenagers. This movie starts out showing the turtle's in the future: the Shredder is dead, they are no longer fighting crime as a group as they have regular jobs (except Raph) and Leonardo has left to pursue ways of becoming a better leader in South America.(random?) But of course, the turtles reunite just as evil forces from thousand of years ago appear in New York and need to be dealt with. This is pretty much a stand-alone movie. Some would say it comes after the live-action trilogy from before, but that is not case. (Splinter has both ears and they don't live at train station) There is part where they show their trophy case, and there are items that relate to the other movies, but then there's the canister that says TCRI (from series and novels) instead of TGRI (from the second live-action movie). Confusing... The CGI is excellent, and pretty famous voice actors: Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patrick Stewart, Kevin Smith, Ziyi Zhang, and Mako, in his final role, as Master Splinter. Laurence Fishburne narrates, and Kevin Michael Richardson, who plays Shredder in the new CGI TMNT series on Nickelodeon, plays the villain General Aguila in this film. The film is well done, well paced, but it may confuse those who have no knowledge of the turtles, and even those who do as there are continuity issues (references to both the live-action movies and series). If you can look passed that, this movie is quite enjoyable, and as I said before, this movie has great CGI! Very reccommended!

The story was pretty good and the animation was of quality work

My kids loved this movie when they were little great to re-watch with them even now

There are parts of this that are really great - the characterization and dialogue, the fight scene between Leo and Raph, Casey struggling with balancing his vigilante lifestyle and the need to "be the grown up" April needs...However, where it is strong in characterization, it's weak in plot. The subplot with Winters and the thirteen monsters seems mostly to exist as an excuse for fight scenes to happen, with no real relation to our heroes or stakes for them. And there are so many unanswered questions: Why was Leo sent away to train? Why does he feel like a failure? What prompted him to finally come back? Splinter says he's stronger now - in what way? Just why is Raph so resentful of him leaving? What prompts Raph's change of heart after their rooftop battle? What is it he understands now that he didn't before? These things are danced around, but never really explored. It would have been a much stronger movie if these questions were delved into, and if the consequences of the plot directly hinged on their resolution. As it is, however, it's entertaining and has the feel of a great turtles movie, even if it isn't, quite. Certainly runs rings around the 2k14 Michael Bay foray, though that's certainly a low enough bar. That being said, this movie established some brilliant moments of new turtle canon still reverberating through the fandom: whether it's Leo's jungle exile, Raph as the Nightwatcher, Donnie's wearying purgatory as your friendly neighborhood tech support, or even the perils of Cowabunga Carl, this movie tells the tale of brothers who are truly lost without each other, and how they find their way back to each other, and consequently, themselves: perhaps the most enduring Turtle Trope because it's the most truthful. Turtles have always been about family - and this is definitely an enjoyable family flick.

Buena película de animación, todo un descubrimiento. El audio es español no latino. Muy recomendable para los fans de las tortugas ninja

自分の見ていた年代の中のタートルズの一つです。 ディズニーXDで最近放送されていたのを改めて観て、DVDが欲しくなり購入致しました。 再集結して過去の敵と手を取り 今作の悪と戦うストーリー。 シリアスもコミカルもあり、大人も子供もたのしめる良作です。 発送梱包等特に問題もなく、安心出来ました。

Hut ab! Ich kannte die Turtles noch aus meiner Kindheit, hatte die Action-Figuren und war Fan der Serie (damals). Als ich von einer Neuverfilmung hörte, dachte ich mir, ich könnte mir diesen Film ja mal ansehen. Ich erwartete nicht viel, denn alle alten Serien und Filme der Turtles waren nicht so besonders im Nachhinein. Naja und was soll man sagen: WOW! Dieser Film schaffte es schon in den ersten 10 Minuten mich derart zu begeistern, das dieses alte Fan Gefühl wieder aufkam! Und das irgendwie sogar mehr als zuvor! Denn dieser Film ist vollgepackt mit Action, wirkt aber zum Glück weniger Brutal (ist ab 6J freigegeben) aber packt einen und reißt einen mit! Der Film ist sehr schön gerendert und das ist auch gut so! Der mit den "echten Schauspielern" war eine Spaßbremse im Vergleich zu diesem. Jetzt aber mal zu den Pluspunkten des Films: - sehr gut gerendertes Actionspektakel "nicht nur für Fans der Turtles" - nicht zu heftig weil ab 6 Jahren freigegeben (jedoch je nach Kind ehr ab 8-10) - sehr gutes Bild (sauber animiert, klare Farben, wirkt nur selten etwas verwaschen) - sehr guter Ton (Super Soundtrack, der irgendwie an Iron Man erinnert - Bombastisch!) - DVD verträgt sich sehr gut mit meinem sehr sensiblen Player - Retro Feeling kommt auf und erschafft neue Fans ;) - Sehr gute Geschichte, die sich durch den ganzen Film zieht Das einzige Manko an allem ist vielleicht nur, das eine kleine Rückblende nicht geschadet hätte. Man sieht, das die Turtles nicht mehr als Team arbeiten, aber hat keine genaue Ahnung warum. Aber an sonsten ist der Film einfach nur Super! Einer der wenigen Filme, der von mir wirklich mal 5 Sterne bekommt! Das will was bedeuten! Fazit: KAUFEN!!! KAUFEN!!! KAUFEN!!! Wenn man gerenderte Filme mag, Kinder hat die Turtle Fans sind oder "noch" nicht (aber bald), auf actionhaltige Unterhaltung steht die auch Kindgerecht ist, macht man hier wirklich nichts falsch! Ein wirklich cooler Film - und ich bin Jahrgang '75! ;)

I was looking for a good CGI film on Blu Ray and out of all the animated film on offer, this new take on the TMNT looked to be a good bet. Being of the older generation of fan, it has been a long time since I've seen the turtles on the big screen and I can happily say that I really liked this film from start to end. The film is dark and gritty looking, like I remembered the first motion picture film being but the turtles have never looked so good, they are leaner, slicker and the fast past action/fight scenes are very well through out and choreographed. With snappy one-liners and tong in cheek comments with a great universal appeal. I think the highlight of the film for me is the fight scenes on the roof top in the rain. This is a great family film for all ages and looks stunning in 1080p.

Je suis content d'avoir réussi à acheter ce film avec le doublage Québécois
