Pros: excellent story,fight scenes and dialogue
Cons: nothing other then Sarah Michelle Gellar as April
The Bottom Line: I believe that if you love the turtles and love movies and have been waiting for a comeback here you go.

| notredame1079's Full Review: TMNT |
In this movie is the return of the lean, green, fighting machines that we know as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But this time instead of being live-action they are CGI characters. I like these turtles better because the movie company can’t mess this up like when they tried to do a live-action show and introducing a 5th turtle. This movie was great. It had a great storyline about a warrior who 3000 years ago wanted to conquer the world but it backfired and he and his generals became immortal and let loose 13 monsters on the world. It’s up to the turtles to stop him from doing it again. But come to find out the warrior has other plans.
The characters were well-developed with a great voice cast even though the only actors I know that played the voices are Chris Evans (FF, FF2) who voiced Casey who I thought did a great job, Sarah Michelle Gellar-April, Mako-Splinter who also did an excellent job of voicing the character, Laurence Fishburne-Narrator, Patrick Stewart-Winters excellent job also, and everyone’s favorite, Kevin Smith-Diner. Personally I agree with who they got to voice some of the characters except April. I could never see Sarah Michelle Gellar play April in live-action. I thought she was great in Buffy but never liked her in movies. The CGI was great in this movie especially with the turtles and Casey. They all looked somewhat like the live-action ones even Casey with coming close to the actor who played Casey in the Live-Action movies. The storyline was great with plenty of action, humor (even though it’s dry at times), and has the normal bickering and all between the brothers and Splinter not agreeing with some of their decisions.
All in all I believe this was a great way to come back into the big screen after the flops with the last movie and the failed live-action television series. You as a reader and movie watcher will love it. I did!!!
