And of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 that started it all. This movie uses a different animation technique that is off putting to me. No doubt it's an artsy technique more like washed out water-color style with color blending. But the frame rate is very slow with this style.
This movie is not for everyone. It's full of nostalgic jokes and tongue in cheek humor. The story of how the Turtles came to possess their powers is somewhat retold. Master Splinter looks goofy in this one and less disciplined. The characters of all the Turtles are parodies of the true original 1987 animated series. All the side characters also did not impress me. The sound-effects are more of the synthesizer type and here also the nostalgia prevails. They tried to give a 1980's vibe and failed.
Plot: After years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers. Their new friend, April O'Neil, helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.
Verdict: If you've seen the original 1987 animated series and all the subsequent live action movies(1990-1991-1993) then give this one a hard pass. Again if you've got time to waste then do watch this one.
