Comments: At first, I really wasn't into TMNT. Sure, there were animated green turtles flying around on the screen, but it didn't feel like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we all know and love. Casey Jones never really acts like Casey Jones (Was April even in this movie? And, since when was she a ninja?), Splinter sure as hell didn't sound like Splinter (I feel bad as Mako, the voice actor passed away soon after the movie, but he was no Splinter), and the whole monsters and immortality storyline wasn't all that great. Add to that a lot of the Turtles-related plot was rehashed from the first film, so I was bummin' about the TMNT. However, I soon became accustomed to these "new" Turtles, and about halfway through the film started to get into it. In the end, I found that I enjoyed TMNT, despite its shortcomings. However, I'm still glad they're going back to live action for the next installment.
