MOVIE CONSENSUS TMNT's art direction is splendid, but the plot is non-existent and the dialogue lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier TMNT movies.

Blades of Glory
It took the combined might of Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, and Will Arnett to finally get a comedy about men's Olympic figure-skating made. Click here to find out more.
Samuel L. Jackson
The clearly snake-friendly Jackson straps on a guitar and does a little kidnapping for the Lord in "Black Snake Moan."
This is no mythic rebirth like Batman Begins or Superman Returns, simply another generically smart-alecky chapter directed with a visual style attuned to speed.
The film suffers from serious animation overkill: too much high-octane action, too many combatants, not enough of the hand-to-hand combat that made the Turtles unique in the first place.
Unfortunately, while the technology used to bring these fearless crime-fighting faves to the screen has grown-up, the producers forgot to mature the script.
The predictable story and hackneyed dialogue -- the interplay between April and Casey is particularly bad -- get in the way of the movie's slick and sleek visual style.
really nothing more than an overblown Saturday morning cartoon, but it didn't need to be anything more than that. The turtles rocked, and I had a blast.
The movie works despite its well-designed but boringly realized bad guy, a real testament to the well-defined, decently written characters of the Turtles themselves.
Who knows? Maybe die-hard fans will enjoy the mocking Turtle banter even as the plot announces itself from a New York City block away. But 'LAUGH' signs would sure help when the jokes fall flat.
The story's nothing special, but the movie is vigorously directed, with a camera that moves at a decidedly un-turtle-like pace. And the animation is unusually handsome.
The turtles themselves may look prettier, but are no smarter; torn irreparably from their countercultural roots, our superheroes on the half shell have been firmly co-opted by the industry their creators once sought to spoof.
The animated fight scenes are both beautiful and realistic. You forget you're watching a computer-animated feature. In a film about ninja turtles, you couldn't really ask for anything more. Other than perhaps a sequel, that is.
Ditching the cheeky, self-aware wink that helped to excuse the concept's inherent corniness, the movie attempts to look polished and 'cool,' but the been-there animation can't compete with the then-cutting-edge puppetry of the 1990 live-action movie.
TMNT offers some real thrills. The computer animation gives the turtles relatively believable expressions, movements, musculature and (green) skin tones.
Worst of all is the lack of genuine laughs. Writer-director Kevin Munroe has apparently forgotten that the Ninja Turtle phenomenon started as rib-nudging parody.
Unlikely to achieve BFF status with the MMORPG set, this CGI feature is light on the LOL factor, heavy on the ADD action scenes, and, like, TOOIFM (Totally Out Of Its Freakin' Mind).
Completely pointless. Didn't three features in the early 1990s and countless cartoon incarnations take these crime-fighting critters as far as they could go?
