Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014 film)

The Foot Clan terrorizes New York City, but help can be found below. Four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their father/sensei Splinter are determined to stop the Clan and their leader, Shredder. But the Turtles may not be ready . . . and Shredder is out for blood. Their blood. If he gets it, he can create unimaginable devastation . . . 

This 2014 film is an dizzying action-packed spectacle. It blows away the 1990 TMNT film on that front, and the humor is decent, but it falls short in almost every other area. The plot and character development is extremely rushed. The message is 'believe in each other.' The acting isn't great. I didn't expect much depth from a Michael Bay production (who acknowledged that he makes movies for teenage boys), and I didn't get it. My son liked it though.
