Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) Review

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012-present Television Series)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an american animated TV series based upon the 1984 comic series named 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'. This version of the television series was premiered on 29th of September, 2012 on Nickelodeon.

Plot:
When a ninjutsu master named Hamato Yoshi and four young adopted turtles get exposed to mutagen ( a chemical ) Hamato turns into a humanoid rat named Splinter and the turtles turned into a humanoid turtles. Splinter names the four turtles Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello. They escape to the New York Sewers in hiding.

Review:
I will start of this review with the pro's of the TV series.
a)Animation-The animation in this cartoon is spectacular. Since the characters are CG ( Computer Generated) i would not like it but the characters look great, it's good enough for kids and also for long time fans of the comic/cartoon. Also its not slow paced as some cartoons are. They also introduce a thing i have never seen before in any other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show, every time they go into a fight or any action event their eyes turn white it's really cool.
b)Voice Acting- The voice acting in this was to perfection. Each voice actor played their part really well. It's really good from Greg Cipes voicing Michelangelo to Kevin Michael Richardson voicing the Shredder.
c)Story-The story is this knew series is very good. The writers displayed the different personalities of each turtle very well and also showed that they are true Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fans.



d)Humour-The humour in this is well... funny? The jokes in this cartoon made me laugh aloud and the ones which didn't made me smile. Another sidenote they added a little bit of chibi here and there so that made me laugh too.





Now onto the con's
a) I know i am being a little harsh but they made April O'neil a teenager and personally I think its weird since I am so used to seeing the reporter in April O'neil. Another thing about this aspect is since she's 16 and the Turtles are 15, Donatello has a crush on April and that also feel weird.






b)Additional Characters-They need to add Casey Jones, Beebop and Rocksteady. It would be really cool to have those characters on board. At least add them into Series 2 :D.






c) First of this is not a con nor a pro it's in between. I wish they could have (at least for the first episode) made the turtles head bands all red.








All in all i think this show was great. Really funny, action filled ;story telling. This show is great for long time fans and kids or anyone else new to this series.

Rating: 8/10

Justice League 2015


Hello Reader,
As some of you may know a Justice League movie has been planning a release date
for 2015. I have been wondering what would be the plot of the movie. Well they have announced that 'Darkseid' would be the main villain.

And it might be based around the 3 issues 183, 184 and 185 of the Justice League of America comic.


Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by George Perez, it's about Darkseid planning the destroy earth and put his home planet Apokolips in its place. Apart from the Justice League of America it also includes the Justice Society of Earth 2
