Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie Film Review

 

Turtles fans i'm sure that i'm not the only one that didn't really watch or even like Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since yeah it's first episode was pretty bad however the show did somewhat find a new set of fans and as such for some strange reason Nickelodeon green lit a feature length film to be set in that world and so then join me as I review the film that is for now at least a send of to the Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles team with the film  in question being called simply just "Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie" enjoy.

The plot of this film is a feature version of Leo sends his best student Casey Jones back in time to team up with the turtles and their friends to stop a Krang invasion. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad as this films plot did feel like a fitting conclusion to this version of the turtles however this films plot basically felt like an extended episode of the show and nothing more then that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this film is Ben Schwartz as Leonardo , Omar Benson Miller as Raphael and Brandon Mychal Smith as Michelangelo. Also starring in this film is Josh Brener as Donatello , Haley Joel Osment as Casey Jones , Kat Graham as April O'Neil , Eric Bauza as Splinter , Jim Pirri as Krang One , Toks Olagundoye as Krang Two , Rob Paulsen as Foot Lieutenant , John Michael Higgins as Warren Stone and Rhys Darby as Hypno-Potamus.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. Which isn't really of that surprising since this films main cast are for the most part reprising their roles from the show and so they would know how their character would react in certain situations and would therefor thus give the right performance for the scene in question in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Doing the animation for this film is Belvision , Cartoon Conrad , DigiToonz Media & Entertainment , MotionWorks and Top Draw Animation. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to s in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good and was a lot better then what I thought that it was going to be which is a very goof thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

This is the first TMNT film since 2019's Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and is also the first animated TMNT film that has nothing to do with Warner Bros. Pictures. Altho I have to admit that Batman Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actually got the characters alot more down then what this film did and that's shocking to me since this film film also had a TV series and they still couldn't get the characters down right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Without giving anything away this film does do something interesting with the turtles mystical powers which does tie into Leo's character arc for this film. Which even tho I hate the idea of giving the turtles mystical powers the fact that they found a way to tie them into Leo's character arc for this film did make what happens to them and the resolution all the more exciting and interesting to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Even tho this film is basically the ending to the Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles world it really doesn't feel like an ending. Since apart from Leo's really well done character arc all of the characters don't really get a sense of closer and there's not even a sense of this fictions world is ending and i'm never going to see these characters which is something that should have been present all throughout the film and it's something that could have been added to the film as the makers of this film have been working on this film since 2019 and so why that wasn't the case just makes the makers of this film seem lazy to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty five minuets and forty seven seconds. Which for a story like this one is an incredibly long running time to have since this film basically has the plot of a special episode of the show and as such this film should have had a running time of roughly forty minuets since that would mean that we'd get alot less repeating moments which is something that we very sadly get in this film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now since this is an action film that means that I have to actually about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With this films action being a true highlight of the film and is easily where we get to see some of this film best looking animation in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this film is a good send of to this version of the TMNT and while I can't see this film getting new fans for the show I'm still glad that the creators got to end this show on their own terms which is always a good thing in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

Turtle fans the mean green ninja team have a new series coming out soon and Nickelodeon decided to drop the first four episodes of the show and that means animation fans such as myself can now talk about the show and my god do I have some thoughts about the show so here is my review of Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

So then what is the plot of this show I hear you asking well that's a good question because technically there isn't one but the set up is The Turtles try to discover mysteries about New York and I have to say that it's strange watching a Turtles series that doesn't have any kind of plot to it and while not having a plot does work for this show it doesn't work for the turtles.

Playing the turtles in this series are Ben Schwartz as Leo , Omar Benson Miller as Raphael , Josh Brener as Donatello and Brandon Mychal Smith as Michelangelo. Playing the other characters are Kat Graham as April , Eric Bauza as Splinter and WWE star John Cena as new villain Baron Draxum. The actors playing the turtles are decent at best but there not really given much to work with so no matter how good the performance could have been it would have been let down by the script.

One of the things that this show does differently from the other shows is the fact it switches some of roles of the group Leo as not the leader of the group he's now the prankster and Raph no longer the angry one he's now the leader. I'm strangely ok with them making Raph the leader but there's just something wrong with Leo being the joker of the group to me that's not his character at all and it kinda makes Michelangelo pointless since that was his role in the group.

The animation for the show was done by Flying Bark Productions who really havn't done anything of note like at all I think it's fair to say that this is there first mainstream project and it shows because the animation was actually pretty good and I don't know if it's just me that thinks this but it seems like they took inspiration from OK KO that's not a bad thing but it does make me wonder if the people working on the animation are fans of that show.

When the designs for this show were released alot of people didn't like the designs for the turtles themselves I personally think that the designs do work for this show but at the same time I do see where people are coming from since the designs are so radically different and I think for Raph they took inspiration from the 2014 movie and that's not a good idea at all.

Here is something for you animation fans the voice director for this series is Turtles legend Rob Paulsen if you don't know who he is he played Raph in the 1980's series and Donny in the 2012 series and has been in many other animated shows and movies and I think it's great that he's working on this new version of the show.

One of the things that I wish they didn't do with this series was what they did to Splinter they turned someone who was basically a rat version of Yoda and they made him an overweight and lazy character who would rather sit in front of the TV then train his sons and give them life lessons to me that's not splinter at all he would always put his sons first and yet in this show it's the other way round.

In case your crazy enough to actually want to watch this show when it airs on Nickelodeon the series will premier on September 17th but tho unlike the previous show where it was pretty much an instant hit this show I really can't see lasting longer then twenty six episodes which is a shame because these characters are iconic and they deserve to be on TV screens for a long time but this show just isn't the right fit for them.

Overall this show is by no means a bad show if your a little kid however if you grew up with the turtles then chances are you might want to avoid watching this show or just watch it only when your board for me the show gets a 4.5 out of 10.
