It puked on my childhood
What was that thing I watched, don't remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had any similar mood back when I was watching the old series or other animated movies that were made those in my childhood. This one was badly different, they have incorporated a plethora of disgusting scenes with a simple and entirely irrelevant plot that one can possibly think of, I mean they are Ninja Turtles why they should go live with humans, and appearing like humans in the society instead of saving the city from bad guys. Well in the end, they, actually, did save the city from that other gross mutant, but why does the writer have to designate such absurd idea into the timeline of Ninja Turtles, all put together to eventually execute the constituted ending, and find a way to change them into some normal teenagers who go to school and have fun with others. In addition, most of the things inside the story were happening very simply with no logical reasons. For instance, the news at the end, first telling the folks that the Mutants are destroying the city while not even mentioning a point about the giant thing that firstly showed up long before them, he was also looking very weak because he was not causing any significant damage to the city, besides there were no police showing up. That news I early mentioned, it was oddly set to create a chance for April, a bad-developed-character, to get out of her nightmare at school as she was being called "Puke Girl" for so long. She really was a puke girl, another disgusting idea writer embedded into the story. Furthermore, before that, ??? Friends betrayed him after a long life they had together over a plain and sort of illogical reason by the Ninja turtles, and taking their side. It was like, "hey guys, your friend is not good, we are good. Let's join together and beat his ass!" and they were all, "Okay, got it". Seriously, Paramount really has to suck on something this bad. For what reason? What were they expecting? Why should you ruin our childhood memories with these unknown out of nowhere new characters?
Providing these analyses which I remembered from the animation, this is worth nothing, don't waste your time watching it, although it has a very different and good animation, but it still sucks!!! - arod-46221 - 2 April 2024
Unwatchable garbage
For whatever it's worth, I grew up with this franchise. I have a certain perspective that leans heavily towards the original series plot points. I was expecting something of a refreshed version for modern times, and this isn't it. It's TMNT in name and appearance only, everything else is reinvented and has nothing else to do with the source material or any version prior to this. It's scrapping the bottom of the barrel as it tries to lean on trendy pop culture references and really low IQ humor.
I'm not sure I even made it through the halfway point... Way too many "creative choices" taken with this iteration of the franchise. I was surprised to see so many well known actors tied to this project, and I still am after seeing how absolutely trash this is.
Splinter is just some random street rat with no connection to Hamato Yoshi or Oroku Saki, or the Foot Clan whatsoever. At least with the first animated series, Splinter began as Hamato Yoshi (though the original comic and later versions he was the pet of Hamato).
Aprils story wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for absolutely ridiculous puke joke... that just went on and on...
The Turtles being played by actual kids/teens was solid enough, but with that came some of the most cringe jokes and banter, I would assume was written by someone of that age range. It even made our kids cringe who are actually that age.
About the only one in the family who was content watching this, was our 6 year old... who spent about half the time doing other things paying attention on and off.
The rest of the family checked out and we ended up turning it off. Hopefully someone who really enjoyed the source material can bring back something better than this, the next time it's green lit...
