[There are some movie plot-lines that were just made to be ultra-busted. This franchise reboot is one such.]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) is an American science fiction action comedy film, directed by Jonathan Liebesman, starring Megan Fox and William Fichtner.
In the end, four teenage anthropomorphic turtles, named after Renaissance artists, who were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu, save junior television news reporter, Megan Fox, and the rest of New York, from the evil machinations of a villainous ninjutsu master crime boss and his wealthy industrialist adopted son, William Fichtner.
"Cowabunga!"
Of course, there is a bit more than that to this movie, which is equal parts ludicrous exposition and barnstorming CGI effects action. Unfortunately, the immediate jeopardy evil plot-line is completely overshadowed by the heroes' preposterous origins story, reducing it to more of a curtain-raiser for the inevitable sequels, to come. But what saves Liebesman's creation is the genuinely laugh-out-loud humour of the characters and situations, that is in perfect keeping with the franchise's parody conception, and is bound to appeal to kids of all ages, and a fair few adults, too.
