The Amazing Ninja Turtles
30 July 2023
Back in 2014 the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was given the Bayformers treatment with Michael Bay and his production company producing, and one of Bay's prodigies, Jonathan Liebesman was hired to direct. And the 2014 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comes across Bay-lite due to the cinematography, action, slo-mo, and objectivation of Megan Fox.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) also felt like it was influenced by the Amazing Spider-Man franchise since it added a storyline that the turtles were April's childhood pets so making them linked together like Peter Parker was destined to become Spider-Man. Both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Amazing Spider-Man had the same climax and both films went for a hyper-realistic look. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) shared a plot point with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 where the villains want to harvest the blood from the villains so they could use it for its healing abilities.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) was a solid action film with the sequence on the mountain being the highlight and whilst the Turtles did look like Shrek on steroids, the special effects were excellent. The Turtles were well portrayed, even if Mikey was made into a pervert. Their personalities match what fans know. The filmmakers clearly favoured Raphael since he was given the most attention since he was given an arc of accepting his brothers and becoming a team player.

If I was 10 I probably would have loved this film.
