Da Nut Reviews

Ok we admit it - we've had waaayy too much tube time for our own good... well, i guess apart from developing x ray vision we can at least share our experiences... enter... "Da Nut Reviews"!

T.M.N.T.
Mrs Lee - 2.5 Nuts / Mr Lee - 2.5 Nuts

Ahhh the bliss of nostalgia... tis the drug that moviemakers distill and profit off so well! I would be lying if I said all those afternoons of rushing home from (high) skool to catch TMNT on Cartoon Connection didn't have a part to play in our seeing this movie! Not since the Power- Ranger-look-alike Turtles Movie of the 90s have we seen Leo, Raph, Mikey and Donna grace the big screen - and this time in 3D CGI! whoooo.... schweet you say...

Well, the unfortunate thing about nostalgia is that was then, and this is now - as kids we probably didn't demand too much in a plot - add another devious Foot Clan plot and a couple of scenes of nunchuka action, and we're satisfied; as adults tho, we tend to look for a little more - in this sense TMNT comes off as a little childish, tho a nice spot of fun - the plotline is predictable (will the turtles reunite one more time to fight off the forces of evil?!? oh go on, u know u want to... :)), CGI animation and action is a cut above the Incredibles, there are a few laughs here n there, and the turtles are as adorable as ever... 2.5 Nuts from the Nut Family, but increase that if below the age of 13 :)

Mrs Nuts One Liner: "Matt made me see it. Oh the price of love..." :p
