17. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) is the new action comedy movie based on the popular franchise of the same name. The Turtles originated in the TMNT comic book before expanding to cartoons, movies, video games, etc. This movie is a reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series from the 1990’s. Although the movies share the same name, they are absolutely different. The new movie uses some amazing CGI technology along with the 3D experience. The old movie used full body costumes and very little technology from the 90s. However, both directors chose to use the same characters without taking a lot of liberties from the old school cartoons- which makes me happy. The movie begins with a new crime gang known as The Foot Clan taking over the streets of New York City and journalist April O’Neil (Fox) trying her best to break the big story. One night by the shipping yards, April stumbles upon some Foot Clan activity that is brought to a halt by some unknown vigilantes. After a second run-in, April comes face to face with these vigilantes who happen to be teenage mutant ninja turtles. The turtles are super strong and fast and can speak English because of a chemical mutation. April takes this secret to her friend who happens to be the head of one of the biggest corporations in New York and a student of the leader of The Foot Clan, Shredder. Now that the turtles’ secret is out, Shredder and The Foot Clan need to track down and capture the turtles because their blood contains the mutation that is essential to their master plan of overtaking the entire city. It’s now up to the turtles, April, and her goofy sidekick cameraman (Arnett) to save New York City from the forces of evil.
