The Good:

I have to agree with Mike. Not a single good thing happened on the screen during this movie.

The Bad:
The design of the turtles was just terrible. They were so damn creepy and it wasn’t helped that one of them was extra lascivious which only served to up the already heightened creep levels. And the voices of the turtles were so annoying especially since they seemed to spend the entire movie talking all at once.
Megan Fox was a blank automaton. She couldn’t muster up one convincing bit of emotion through the entire film.
The action was just overdone and sloppy with more emphasis on making it as loud and bombastic as possible with no eye for making well crafted action set pieces that had any hint of flow or thought to them.

The Ugly:
I hope Will Arnett and William Fichtner got paid obscene amounts of money to be in this and hopefully it was enough that they don’t have to do the sequels. Both of these guys deserve much better.

Final Verdict: A seemingly never-ending cacophony of loud and obnoxious noise that seemed intent on entertaining small children hopped up on copious amounts of sugar but for those of us past puberty and not chemically imbalanced, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is just pure torture.

Grade: F
