Von ihrem Mentor, der Ratte Splinter, im Ninja Kampfsport ausgebildet, leben die vier halbgepanzerten Brüder Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael und Leonardo in der Kanalisation unter den Straßen von New York und sorgen dafür, dass Bösewichte nichts zu Lachen haben und die Einwohner der Stadt ihre Pizza immer ruhig zu Ende essen können. Überall, wo die vier Turtles und ihre menschlichen Freunde April O’Neill und Casey Jones auftauchen, geht mächtig die Post ab. Und gerade jetzt braucht die Welt mehr denn je die Hilfe der Turtles: Dunkle Schatten ziehen durch die Straßen New Yorks und monströse Kreaturen treiben ihr zerstörerisches Unwesen. Könnte der exzentrische Milliardär Max Winters hinter dieser Bedrohung stecken? (Verleiher-Text)

Die Handlung mit der 3000 Jahre alten Rache aus dem Jenseits kaufe ich den Machern nicht ab, aber die Situation "nachdem wir den Shredder besiegt haben" ist angemessen dargestellt, die Charaktere passen zur üblichen Vorstellung... und April fehlt auch nicht ;) Und außerdem spricht es Jugendliche und Erwachsene gleichermaßen an.

Spatial animation suits the turtles quite well, although nostalgia still calls for a classic visual coat somewhere in the corner. The problem, in my opinion, is more in the plot peripeteia regarding the brotherly struggle, which puts the two oldest ones in the crosshairs, to the point that the youngest members are left out so much that they become just useless pawns without any justification. The second storyline with the rescue of N.Y. and the whole world along with it is much more straightforward, more nimble, and, most importantly, provides room for absolutely thrilling action. We don’t see that very often in animation, and especially the brotherly battle in the rain or the final fight against the Foot clan will warm the hearts of action lovers. As a result, it's a nice film for a single watch that definitely won't offend and is more than an obvious choice for ideal relaxation.

The good news is (for some) that the Turtles are back. The bad news is that they stopped half way to the top. The non-existent story wouldn’t have fueled a regular episode of the original TV series, let alone a feature-length picture. The whole thing comes across like a prolog for a TV series rather than a regular, self-standing movie. And it’s a shame that things revolve more around Rafaelo and Leonardo and Donatello and Michelangelo are given a back seat. On one hand, this is an attempt to rebook the Turtles, but at the same time it is aimed at “connoisseurs". It alternates serious moments with childish ones. Despite all the negatives, thanks to the short running time it rushes by and I certainly enjoyed myself. Perhaps the creators have learned their lesson for any potential part two, which could become a solid action popcorn movie and not just an intro to a computer game.

At first the idea of reviving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seemed like unnecessary money grabbing from a dead series, but once the first images appeared, I started to look forward to it because everything seemed to have been done with absolute style and, most importantly, with love for the source material. And so, to my great joy, the movie turned out well in the end. Maybe there's a lack of action, as the real showdown only happens at the end, and it would be nice to have villains in the style of Shredder with Krang instead of stone warriors, but it has the exact light and family-friendly atmosphere as the beloved series. Hats off and a sigh over the fact that people simply won't go to the cinema to see the Turtles in animated form.

The silly smile of a content child spreads across my face :-). The return of the Turtles is really fine. The beginning is slow, but the rest of the film more than makes up for it. The animation, in the style of The Incredibles, suits Ninja Turtles quite well. The action is excellent (especially Leonardo vs. Night Watcher and the final battle). Mikey's jokes are just the sort of gut-busters I've been missing. But Shredder and his partners were missing. The monsters are fine, yet somehow they’re not quite right. I'm kind of counting on seeing them in the sequel. P.S. Badelt's music is excellent and Michelangelo roolzz ;-).

This is probably mainly due to nostalgia, although it's true that the animation itself is certainly not fundamentally bad. The story is one of those where you feel like something is escaping you, but this is simply for fans of the turtles. The fact that there are some recognizable voices here doesn't really matter much. The mythological dimensions of the story are nice, but maybe there's just too much happening all in one place. The series suits the turtles better.
