TMNT Takes The Crowd
Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot is the first live action film in the franchise since 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, so there was a lot of pressure on him to produce a movie that would please both fans and critics. Did it deliver up to that level? :Let's roll down and find out.
'TMNT' movie reviews:
Set in the New York City,the movie starts in a dark place-"Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron group on everything from police to the politicians."Paramount pictures revealed. TMNT amassed $25.6 million Friday for the projected $42 million weekend to come in No.2 and pushing its domestic total to $175 million dollars by Sunday. " Let's find out what critics have been saying.
It's hard to avoid the sense that bay, Liebesman and company are hitting all the iconic beats of the franchise, but not investing them with the sort of cleverness, gravitas or feeling to coast along something other than fan loyalty."
The turtles look lively and pretty lifelike, it must be said, but with no real world correlation also more strange than anything else.
The Hollywood Reporter: Fox spends much of the movie acting bewildered as April tries to keep up with rapidly shifting plot developments, and Fichtner delivers a generically styled,l simplistically motivated baddie.
USA Today: "The leering camera aimed squarely at Fox's backside has the recognizably shallow mark of a bay film.
"Is it the kids drawn to be animated Nickelodeon reboot or the middle-aged crowd looking to reconnect with yet another thing they loved in their youth? The filmmakers never came up with a resolution, which is why we have a reported $125 million effects parade with a crippling identity problem."
