The 90s are back with the popular cartoon TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) back with a digital look and 3-D appearance. Cowabunga Dude! I attended a special screening in Atlanta with my 9 year old nephew, Elijah, who was my date for the evening. He is a super Ninja Turtle fan so I definitely had to take him, my special treat to him before school starts. The screening began with something extra special as Wanda Smith (Atlanta V103 radio personality) was joined by her son, Giovanni, who helped her introduce the Atlanta United Tae Kwon Do children’s class for a TEENAGE MUTANT NINJATURTLES-style karate demonstration.

If you are a true TMNT fan, you know the characters are very skilled in martial arts and this presentation went well with the movie theme. This was a cute way to start the movie and the kid’s involved did an excellent job with the demonstration. I asked my nephew if he was interested in taking a Karate class and he said yeah! So now we gotta look into that for him!
Movie Synoposis: TURTLES starring Megan Fox and Will Arnett at Regal Perimeter Pointe on Wednesday, August 6th. The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox) and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett) to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.

My nephew’s opinion:It was cool! (typical 9-year old with their ‘coo’ responses).
My Opinion: Overall it was a fun interactive movie. I grew up on Ninja Turtles as a 90s kid and I remember watching the original TMNT in 1990, and Vanilla Ice had a song to go with the soundtrack (see I am dating myself lol). It was a cute movie, lots of action, and funny dialogue to go with the theme. It also reminded me how old I am, they adjusted the turle character’s ages to be born in 1999 to make them 15 year olds today. Wow the real TMNT would be actual 39 years old today if they were 15 in 1990 (so they would be Middle-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles not a great marketing concept lol).
It’s just so interesting to see the upgraded changes from 1990-2014 especially with the technology that is out today. I loved that for it to be a boy-themed movie, Megan Fox was the female protagonist. That rarely happens in movies, especially in an action movie so I appreciate the value in that perspective. I also was shocked to see Whoppi Goldberg feature in the film, I don’t know why I just didn’t expect her to be in a movie like that. My nephew also really enjoyed the 3-D effects of the movie so I would suggest seeing this in 3D! Anyone who is a 90s fan of the nostalgic cartoon and all little boys (and girls) who likes to see villains get their butts kicked with some mutant ninjas go see this! #TURTLEPOWER

By the time TMNT came out, I was passed the cartoon stage. It’s interesting how they keep bringing back old cartoons. I know mu husband wants to see this movie, but its not at the top of my list.
I really would like to see this movie. I’m just sad the movie theater I work at currently did not receive it. I’ll have to go across town, but that’s okay.
I can’t wait to see this! I loved the movies when I was a kid! Can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with!
Hubby took the kids and went to see it on opening day and I went to see it by myself yesterday. Loved it a lot more than I did the originals.
My brother was a huge TMNT fan when he was younger so I’m sure he would love this. I wasn’t ever a fan of it though.
I also did not know that Whoopi Goldberg was in it?! I bet it was a fun one to see.
It will be out on Tuesday here in Trinidad and we are already planning our outing to go see it!
We haven’t watched it yet. We might wait to Netflix it and make it a cozy family night!
Glad your nephew liked it! My sons loved the Ninja Turtle movies back in the 90s. So much fun.
I remember when I was a young person and TMNT was a new and very important phenomenon. It seems there really is nothing new under the sun.
We went and saw that over the weekend. It was a super cute movie!
My son really wants to see this one. Hope it’s just as a good as the oldies 🙂
It’s not really my cup of tea but I’ve nene hearing good things about the movie so far! My nephew really loved it!

I had no intention of seeing this movie. Until my friends told me how great it was. Now we will!
we didnt’ see it. I think my youngest is a little scared of them LOL
Don’t think we will see this. Love the old time TNMT, they looked sweeter:)
Looks like such a great movie and the kids and I are looking forward to seeing it. Thanks for sharing!
My kids are too young for this right now. It seems to be aimed at tweens, maybe? I’m sure they’ll want to see it eventually! 🙂
So happy to see your take on it. This is a movie we’re considering.

Oh this looks like a great movie. Can’t wiat to see it!
I loved the TM-Ninja Turtles when I was growing up! We saw the previews for this movie last time we went to the movies! We’ll probably go see it!
