Goofs

The time-stamp on the footage of the un-mutated turtles in the lab says 1999, which matches the chronology of the film. When we are shown the young April taking this footage in a flashback, she is taking the footage on a bluetooth-enabled digital camcorder, which would not have been available then.

Quotes

[first lines]
Splinter: You are extraordinary, my sons. Unlike anything the world has ever seen. Bowed in greatness, destined to protect the people of New York! A dark force is growing: a criminal organization known as the Foot Clan, so named because they step over the good people of this city with no regard. Their leader, Shredder, will come at you with ferocity. His Foot Clan will outnumber you! The people of New York will look upon you as their only hope.

User Reviews

Don't care what critics say about new TMNT

Took My kids to watch this film. I had read all the top critic reviews and thought to myself as I watched it, Megan Fox didn't over shadow the Turtles, or didn't find it to be to predictable. I remember a week or so ago when Megan Fox slammed the haters of the new TMNT movie and I think we heard from every critic out there and they are the haters and I agree with her, if you don't like it, who gives a flip cause I did and my 4 kids loved it. Great action, comedy and a lot better story than the old movies had to them, plus the new Turtles look amazing there are times when They are fighting Shredder that you can tell that its all cgi but other than that it looked great. 8 out of 10 easily! Fun for the whole family.
