My movie selection is all over the place. I was priding myself on my selection of Oscar
Nom’s and then I decided to watch this.
I was called a TMNT “fan” recently, well, I’m not so much a fan, as I am
amused. To be fanatical about something,
I might say, own a t-shirt, collect figures, have a poster, that type of
behavior. I was a little too old for
the Turtles in their peak, but I watched a lot of the animated series in the
late 80’s and early 90’s as the kids my mom babysat loved them. Have to say I grew to appreciate them. I liked the 1990 movie, but failed to see any
of the sequels (see, not a fan) and when this showed up on Netflix, after a 12
hour work day, I was ready for some mindless entertainment. Let’s just say I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it, I found the Turtles to look
a little creepy, Splinter was just gross, but the film was entertaining in
bursts. It took a little too long for
the action to get started, but all in all, I’d have to say it was worth my time
(100 minutes). Do I recommend it? Not unless there’s some nostalgia there. I will say this was probably the most I’ve
enjoyed of a Will Arnett role since Arrested Development, even if I did think
his crush on Megan Fox was bordering inappropriate given their age, but that just
might be the dad in me speaking.
Cowabunga!
