User Reviews

Back in form

Well,I never thought I would say this for a Michael Bay film,but this movie was actually fun! I know it has been held in low esteem by critics,but when I walked into the theater with extremely low expectations,what I got was a movie which was actually funny with a plot which somehow made sense.The voice cast is quite energetic,which is exactly what is required for this kind of movie.

I have always liked the TMNT quite a lot,and this movie is a nice way to get them back in form after a horrible predecessor.Even though it is marred by problems such as some implausibility and some jokes that fell flat,it is all quite forgivable.

Overall,TMNT 2 has a fair share of flaws,but it makes for a fun time at the movies with a good voice cast.
