Editorial Review:
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return in an all-new CGI action adventure, written and directed by Kevin Munroe. After the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling to keep them together, their rat sensei, Splinter (Mako), becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Maximillian J. Winters (Patrick Stewart) is raising up an army of ancient monsters, and only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them-- Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelley), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North)! With the help of old allies April O'Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Casey Jones (Chris Evans), the Turtles are in for the fight of their lives as they once again must face the mysterious Foot Clan, who have put their own ninja skills behind Winters' endeavors.

Description of TMNT:
From a visual standpoint, this CG feature starring the venerable '80s and '90s superheroes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is nothing short of slam-bang; the computer animation has a scope and look that transcends both the original comics and animated series and the three live-action features that preceded it. Writer/director Kevin Munroe creates a striking animated world for the four heroes in a half-shell to live, play, and fight in, and the action sequences are occasionally breathtaking in their speed and complexity. But where TMNT stumbles is its bland plot, which picks up after the last of the live-action features with all four teen turtles in disarray, and abandons longtime villain Shredder in favor of an industrialist (well voiced by Patrick Stewart) who recruits the Foot Clan (including Karai, played by Zhang Ziyi) to revive thirteen ancient monsters to aid in his world domination scheme. It's a simple and fun story for kids, but longtime Turtles fans will miss the wry humor and smart sense of irony of the original comics (created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who gets an executive producer credit here) in this storyline. Still, for most adolescent audience members, such concerns won't matter a whit in the face of the abundant action. --Paul Gaita
TMNT Reviews:
Took me by Surprise!!! 
2009-12-17 - I grew up with the Turtles when they were 1st released. I had EVERY toy, film, cd, ect released! Then i got old and got more into gurls and beer!;) The 3rd movie (turtles in time) was horrible. Thats about when i boxed everything up and ended the turtle phase after years of investing so much money into them. It was interesting to see they brought back the cartoons... Years later after the 1st version of the cartoon ended; my wife got me a free ticket to see the premiere movie on a Saturday morning. I didn't want to see it! I'm a movie buff; and i was scared i would just be too pissed off about it. It was refreshing to see all the kids dressed up in turtle costumes!
To my surprise, this movie made me laugh, jump, cry and breath with total excitement! My wife was just as hype, and she was not a fan of the turtles at all. THE MOVIE IN MY OPINION TOPPED 300, which came out the exact same year! Amazing how they bridged the old turtle movie storylines, and created this complete masterpiece! So many people thought i was crazy for promoting the movie until i got them to see it. I think it would have made more money if people showed more faith in the movie besides quickly shunning it due to the fact that it was a cartoon, and the new ones cant live up to the hype of the old ones.
Definitely a movie for the collection! Nickelodeon and Paramount have picked up the rights late this year in 2009. They better not mess up! Please make the movie in 2012 continue after TMNT!!! No Reboot of the film please!!! Reboot the series if you must; but not the film. you have more than enough to work with!!! Buy this on blu-ray!!!
Good Story, Great CGI, Outstanding Visuals 
2009-11-04 - A great movie that brings back the turtle nostalgia of the 90's when we were younger. I am no turtle fanatic, just a fan as a kid (and a die hard movie analyst). There is some serious CGI & Visuals in this movie if you know what to look for, some of the best out there. The story is not bad either; I would have liked to see more of Michaelangelo and Donatello. There are some good fighting scenes that are very detailed and visual as well. This movie is very different than the real movies of the 90's. In a way, it is more enjoyable than the real movies, which had a "poor puppetry" feel to them (except the first movie). If you have a top end TV (1080p 120hz +), Blu-Ray Player and good cables, you will enjoy the fine detail that went into this Blu-Ray movie. Otherwise, the regular DVD would probably be just as good.
Fun for the whole family
2009-09-24 - My whole family enjoyed this movie have seen both standard and bluray versions if you can get it get the bluray no real special features but the picture is amazing safe for all age groups
Fun, simple entertainment
2009-09-12 - Great flick for fans of the original cartoon form the late 80's/early 90's. Sure, the tone is lighter than the original source material (comic books), but it's still a fun ride. The sibling rivalry that plays throughout is a nice attempt at a mature storyline, and there's a fantastic fight scene between Leonardo and Raphael, but it's way too short. 'TMNT' is a great throwback to Saturday morning cartoons before they became too watered-down.
