Recently, everyone is embarked into such a hoopla after a variety of reviews have entitled the recent 'Nina Turtle' film to be another wretched cataclysm as expected from the oh-so brisk grandeur of Michael Bay films (not to mention quite a storytelling rollercoaster and a turmoil of omnipotence, amirite), but even if the rebooted Nina Turtles were to be as impotent as 'The Winter Soldier' or as arousing as an elloquial depiction of a Samurai film, such film will not match the vast versatility of the classic 1990's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nor will it replace the pleasure of such film. Enter the nostalgia.
IT IS A JOYFUL SATIRE OF AN AVERAGE SAMURAI FILM
Of course, when talking about the Ninja Turtles, no one should EVER mention 'TMNT' and 'dark/gritty' in the same sentence. Such film does indeed have some plotholes of its own and the mere badassery of Tatsu is converted into a fragile sycophant, but it is to be reminded that the Ninja Turtles aren't a force to be treated with the equivalent likes of any other superhero since the Ninja Turtles are the satirical eclipse of all Samurai films. It is only in a Ninja Turtles movie when you see grand masters of the Jeet Kun Do have their asses handed to them by the mere preponderance of a rat's walking stick. Where ominous ninjas are no threat towards the dominion of a turtles's shell. Where the scythe of a ninja's blade can be diminished about by the sway of a hockey stick. The film does indeed portray the Ninja Turtles embarking into reticent moments where the veil of Shredder's scourge is ordained towards the will of Raphael and Master Splinter, and yet the film does a phenomenal job in balancing austerity with humour. In which leads towards ...
EVERYTHING IS AUTHENTIC, FROM SPECIAL EFFECTS TO FIGHTING/DRAMATIC SCENES
As recent films have endevoured a montage of the 'shaky cams' technique in order to fascinate a fighting sequence, or utilize a plethora of abundant special effects in order for it to be grasped more eloquently (ironically), it goes to show that such elements are not to be rendered as a primitive necessity in a comic book film when it is the REAL action sequences and effects that fools the eye in which juxtaposes reality and fantasy alas. Perhaps such scenes do need a bit of polishing, but the best thing about this film is that the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles depicts the characters in the most convincing of ways through mere characterization and connectivity among one another. Where would April O'Neil be without the witticism of Casey Jones? Where would Raphael be without the solace of Leonardo? Where would Master Splinter be without the affinity of the Turtles? It is all endured within the sole accordance of each actor's portrayal of the character, laying independent from the brash audibility of today's special effects and instead concentrate on the classic momentum of what makes a film such a wonderful motion picture.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN WHICH ABIDES AMIABILITY
As a variety of comic book movies seems to contemplate in the mere sequences of action and gunplay as the most memorable scenes of them all, Barron attains the interpretation of the Turtles - not by pulling out .44 magnums and unveiling a barrage explosion of a nickel's spew - but it instead takes the most simplest of things and transcends them into the most significant of them all. Master Splinter pouring wisdom towards the sheer turbulence of Raphael's will, Leonardo worrying over the cataclysm layed before Raphael by the scourge of Shredder's acolydes, the Turtles attaining clairvoyance in order to convey the willpower of retaliating against a threat that is too much to handle, Casey Jones rescuing Master Splinter from the scythe of Oroko Saki, Master Splinter's confrontation against Shredder. All of these moments rips the affability the Turtles converge from the comics and from the cartoon series while - at the same time - not portraying such a cheeseball of a conveyance of the Turtles' humour and adamant solidarity.
