Blu-ray Release: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Blu-ray

Today, Paramount is releasing the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot on Blu-ray.  Teaming up with budding reporter April O’Neil (Megan Fox), genetically enhanced turtles Leonardo (Johnny Knoxville), Donatello (Jeremy Howard), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) and Raphael (Alan Ritchson) must venture out of the sewers to save New York City from their evil nemesis Shredder (Tohoru Masamune).

Despite the thankfully short running time, this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is actually kind of boring and can be annoying.  Although trying to have a strong female lead, the film still feels sexist, and the action is generic, derivative of what producer Michael Bay has already overdone in his own tiring Transformers franchise.  Some hardcore fans might still get a kick out of it, but everyone else unfortunately won’t be feeling the turtle power this time around.

The Blu-ray includes an extended ending, several featurettes and the “Shell Shocked” music video.  The package also comes with two reversible coloured masks.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is 101 minutes and rated PG.
