With reviews like this, why am I, a lifelong fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, encouraging you to check out this hated film on Netflix? First, the cast is great: I was very skeptical at first, but Megan Fox makes a great April O’Neil, and she has a fun enough chemistry with most of the cast to help sell this strange cinematic world. She has particularly great chemistry with Will Arnett, who brings April’s scaredy-cat coworker Vern from the 1987 cartoon to hilarious, live-action life.
And as for the Ninja Turtles themselves, if you can look past the admittedly awful character design, they are wonderfully believable as wisecracking brothers by day and butt-kicking warriors by night. Thanks to some inspired casting, Jackass legend Johnny Knoxville voices Leonardo, and Reacher star Alan Ritchson does fiery justice to the angry Raphael. And while I never would have guessed it, Tony Shalhoub does the best Splinter voice.
