As a fan of the first two TMNT films, I can still recall the excitement I had as a child walking into the theater to see this new film, and much to my dismay within the first 15 minutes, something already seemed very off.
The humor-if you can call it that- comes off very forced, with the unusually horny turtles spouting boring one-liners that even a child would find questionable inbetween ogling April and looking downright frightening.
You can tell the animatronics budget wasn't quite on par with the first two, with some of the terrible, robotic facial expressions being the only source of laughter (or anything resembling entertainment) to be found In this film, whose plot feels dreary and disconnected from the other two films.
As a child, this movie was the first and only film to make me fall asleep in the theater. As an adult, history repeated itself when I attempted to watch this with my boyfriend to show him just how terrible it was. The already lackluster comedy is terribly reused as well, with a handful of jokes spread throughout where the turtles refer to a bad guy as a particular famous person. This happens again and again, and in none of the cases do they resemble the people they're referring to enough to warrant it being used so often for so many different characters.
The voice acting isn't so bad (with one exception just the lines they're delivering. The one exception would be Raphael, whose acting is almost as bad as the material he has to work with.
I don't recommend this movie to anyone- if you're a fan of the series, just stick to the first two, there's literally nothing to enjoy about this film, except its effectiveness as a natural cure for insomnia.
