Like most, I grew up with the turtles. I always say you can learn a lot about a person if you ask em who their favorite turtle is. True story.. :) Well on to the review shall we..?
Extremely well developed movie.. Hands down a must see. It encorperates all elements which define a "great movie". If Leo and Raph are your favorite turtles, You'll enjoy it even more.. Their was not enough attenion drawn to Mikey and the Don but alas the story wasn't directly centered around both of them so it's understandable. I would have liked to see more detail and focus on the monsters and villians regardless of thier small roles within the movie, I still felt character development was needed in that area. They could have stretched the 1:40 time length of the movie to 1:50 to help with this matter going onto my next point, I felt it wasn't long enough..
CGI over live action hands down.. They can really maximize the potential of the ninja turtles to a higher degree showing how amazing they truly are. Even though the fifty pound suits capture the memory of love we had for them in the past, they did a brilliant job with the portrayal of there new look. The CGI was comparable to FFVII Advent Children, different styles but nonetheless breathtaking upon different scales. My only gripe would have to be the lighting team and whomever choosed that stylized look of desaturation in color. A little more color should have been one tweak of encorperation.. Just a little.. :)
Other than that, splinter fighting, the bad ass foot clan that couldn't fight (they got whupped by April o Neil. (Haha!)), Hands down great movie.. I'm looking forward to the sequel..
And yes Donetello is my favorite to answer your curiousities!
