She warns the Turtles, who are soon ambushed by the Foot and their evil leader the Shredder. O’Neil figures out that a man named Eric Sacks (William Fitchner) who used to work with her father, is working with the Foot clan, and is planning to release a toxin over the entire city that will wipe out most of the population. While nobody else believes her, she decides to look even further, and soon comes in contact with them, realizing that they are four mutant, talking turtles named Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello four brothers who had been trained in martial arts their entire lives by their father, Splinter. While on the scene she discovers four shadowy figures fighting off the Foot clan, who she deems vigilantes.
Meanwhile, news reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) is always tired of being assigned to cover uninteresting stories, and decides to investigate a Foot meeting a bit closer than she is allowed to. In New York City, a modern terrorist organization called the Foot Clan is wreaking havoc across the city committing crimes and taking hostages on a daily basis. This is a completely character-driven tale that reminisces several versions of the franchise’s past and despite a flimsy plot and mediocre script, the modern visuals and gritty realism make for a pretty entertaining time at the movies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a moderately refreshing and nostalgic reboot that runs at an impressive pace without getting too full of itself. In a world where fanboys from the 80’s are too caught up on what has been and what never again will be, comes a movie so true to its source material that, unless you’ve actually seen the movie, should leave you with no reason to be complaining.
