This movie was a great way to re-live my childhood. A story about 4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Ninjas + Turtles = Win. I have been waiting for the release of this film since I first heard of it 9 months ago. I was enthralled when I saw the first trailer about 3 months ago. I had to see it on opening day.

When I was a wee lad, I watched the cartoon religiously. I had the toys. In fact I recall that a Michaelangelo action figure is the first toy I bought with my own money. I dressed up like Splinter for Halloween one year as a kid. I probably drove my parents crazy watching the movies over and over.

I remember the first three movies. Live action movies with men in big rubber suits and makeup that they could hardly even move was the theme to all of the movies. Big rubber suits are not conducive to ninja like skillz, not to mention make the turtles look really really fat.

Then this new movie came out. Done with computer animation, the way it was meant to be. Turtles could actually act and move like ninjas. The fight scenes were awesome. The characters were done very well. The villains were cool. This movie just all out rocked.

Only complaint I heard was the fact that April O'Neil has a unbelievable skinny waist and hoooge boobs that made her look like an alien. Those complaints were from the girls I went to see the movie with. I, however, approved. ^_^

So, if you grew up with the turtles, this movie is awesome. If you have kids, take them to see the movie, they'll love it. For everyone else, well, you'll find it entertaining at least. This movie seems to target either kids or people who grew up with turtles on their T.V. But, I think most audiences would love this movie.

I give this movie 4.5 angel wings out of 5.
