Fear the Turtle


Oh my, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back for another feature film installment, only this time they're animated. Aside from our four heroes in a half shell (turtle power!), the movie brings back some favorites including April O'Neil, Casey Jones and Master Splinter. But, what is more notable is who the film does not bring back. There is no Shredder (which means no Rocksteady or Bee-Bop), no Krang, and no Vanilla Ice! What's up with that?

Furthermore, from the looks of the trailer, the writers basically took the premise of Independence Day (i.e. laser from the sky smashing buildings) and replaced Bill Pullman with 4 teenaged turtles. Overall an improvement on Independence Day, but unoriginal nonetheless.

Whether you are interested in this movie or not, prepare yourself for the possibility of many more sequels. From what I understand, turtles can live to be over 100. That's like 90 more years.
