TMNT...or so they say

I saw the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle last night. and I honestly have to say that I liked it. The story is not as gripping as the ones from before, but it's got the grip to it.

What happens is that it's years after the turtles destroyed their nemesis, Shredder. Leonardo has been away in Latin America training to be a better leader. Donatello is a 24 hour IT tech service guy. Michaelangelo dresses up like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and shows up a birthday parties for kids. Basically, they've all reached retirement (which is what usually goes when you've killed your nemesis). Suddenly, a myth 3000 years old is revived as a man with eternal life wants to end the tragedy of living forever and return all of the evil monsters and crap back to where they came from.

So this is the entire story. It's almost like that movie Thirteen Ghosts. There's some dude who has to find 13 monsters who he unleashed 3000 years ago and put them back where they belong. He's also got a crazy gaggle of stone soldiders who help the FOOT clan (yeah they're back too) capture these 13 monsters.

The bad guy turned out to be the good guy and the good guys for the bad guy turned out to be the bad guys. The foot clan helps the turtes and the turtles....learn to be better brothers?

Honestly, I thought the movie was really fast to get to the ending. The last fighting scene wasn't as interesting as watching grown men in turtle costumes and it was just blah.

Let's just say they need a new movie with those old costumes. Yeah, that would be sweet.
