Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a Continuity Reboot film of the eponymous franchise produced by Michael Bay and directed by Jonathan Liebesman (Battle: Los Angeles), released by Paramount, making TMNT the second film franchise to have entries released by both New Line Cinema and Paramount, after Friday the 13th. It's a live-action movie with the Turtles generated through Performance Capture CGI.The story goes right into the origins of the Turtles as reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) finds herself involved in a secret group called the Foot Clan, led by the Shredder (Tohoru Masamune). But opposing them are unlikely heroes, four teenaged mutated turtle brothers — Leonardo (Pete Ploszek, with voice dubbing by Johnny Knoxville), Michaelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Raphael (Alan Ritchson) — who are skilled ninjas trained by a mutated rat named Splinter (Danny Woodburn, with voice dubbing by Tony Shalhoub). It turns out the Turtles and the Foot have a distant history and their conflict reaches a boiling point.The film also stars Will Arnett as Vern Fenwick, William Fichtner as Eric Sacks and Abby Elliott as Taylor.As expected with any adaptation, there are some changes. The turtles are quite tall and bulky in comparison to other sources note in the comics and animated series, they were all around 5', and the previous live action movies also had them fairly short and stocky and the Foot is modelled off of modern military, probably because masked or not it would be expensive to send the turtles up against 20 trained martial artists at a time as they have been in past.The movie was released on August 7, 2014. It managed to gross half its production budget back in one weekend, also taking in more in one weekend than the last Turtle movie did in its entire theatrical run. A sequel, subtitled Out of the Shadows, was released on June 3, 2016.See the teaser here and the second trailer here.

comment
The Artifact: Eric Sacks was originally intended to be the Shredder in this film, with his name being an anglicization of Oroku Saki, the original Shredder's true identity. Fan backlash forced the filmmakers to drop the idea and rewrite him as Shredder's accomplice, although his name was left intact.

And Splinter getting beaten by Shredder, being put into critical condition. The second trailer also gives away that Eric Sacks is not the Shredder; he's just working for the guy.

All There in the Manual: Paramount released a trailer and website about "The Legend of the Yokai", which told of four kappa Yōkai who once defended Japan against a horde of fellow monsters, were also trained as ninja, and passed into legend saying they would come again. Though the film itself doesn't elaborate on this further than Eric Sacks displaying a scroll illustrated with kappa.

Artistic License – Biology
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: Given, they are mutant turtles, however in the case of great blood loss as the turtles experience, giving them adrenaline would definitely give them short-lived pep but it shouldn't give them more strength than they already have; it would be short-lived and not last through the end of the movie. The amount they receive on their dangerously low blood pressure should also give them heart failure within minutes. It's somewhat justified because when April administers the adrenaline the computer monitor warns her that an overdose is imminent, but then nothing bad happens to the Turtles afterwards. The turtles are identified as box turtles, which they bear no resemblance to, though this may have just been a mistake on Sacks' part (who called them such) as April identifies them as red-eared sliders (what they are in most incarnations) earlier in the movie when she realizes they are the turtles from her dad's lab and as pre-mutagen turtles they do appear as such.

Villain Ball: Sacks and his mentor the Shredder pass it between them, possibly due to one raising the other, with Bad Boss tendencies (most notably killing a loyal mook to explain a nefarious plan to the turtles moments before they plan to exsanguinate the lot), and a penchant for just stopping mid-fight, perhaps out of pride. Let's discuss the evil plan: use a chemical weapon on New York so you can sell them the cure you haven't tested yet, with a 15-year-old chemical disbursement system that comes directly from your headquarters in the biggest and most modern metropolis in the world. So you can make money. No trials, no production set-up, and no one stops to think that everyone would notice that your skyscraper is at the heart of all of it.

Food Interrogation: When the ha-shi fails to make the Turtles confess what they were doing when they sneaked out, Splinter whips out a 99 cheese pizza and brings a slice tantalizingly close to Mikey while listing the ingredients. This finally gets Mikey to spill the beans.

Chekhov's Gun: Michelangelo's "Buck-Buck" game which actually comes in handy during the final battle with Shredder. Eric mentions the regenerative powers of the mutagen in his conversation with April. These properties are what save Raphael and Splinter. The ha-shi punishment Splinter puts the turtles through becomes more of a training exercise for when they have to hold up the tower near the end of the film, with Shredder beating on Leo and trying to make him break focus. Good thing he doesn't have a cheese pizza on hand.

While Bluetooth existed in 1999, Bluetooth camcorders and the MicroMV format would not exist until two years later in 2001. Worse, the exact camera model she uses was introduced in 2013.

Mythology Gag
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage): The authors of the book on ninjutsu Splinter found in a flashback are Eastman and Laird, the original comic's creators. One of the characters is named McNaughton, a reference to Jim McNaughton, a very obscure character from the original Mirage comics who reported the explosion of the T.C.R.I. building in the sixth issue of the original comic book. At one point, Raph says "We strike hard and fade away into the night," a line from the first issue of the original comic. Young April, in a flashback, makes a comment about the mutagen being from outer space, in a nod to it being created by aliens in the comic as well as the 2003 series. Much like in the IDW comics, April knew the turtles and Splinter before they mutated, and was even the one who named them. The turtles and Splinter being lab test subjects before they mutated is also from the IDW comics. From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987): When the Shredder's new armor is revealed, he says, "Tonight I dine on Turtle Soup," a popular line of his from the 1987 series. When April is trying to describe the Turtles to Vernon, he skeptically calls them "Heroes in the Half-Shell?" The Turtles' new car plays a part of the 1987 theme song as its horn. Before the final fight with the Shredder, Raphael asks Mikey to repeat something he said when they were kids. "COWABUNGA!" Sacks mentions that Project Renaissance almost used rabbits, meaning we were a small decision away from Usagi Yojimbo, which has had several TMNT crossovers. From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): A flashback shows Leonardo slicing up a pizza with his katanas, only for a slice to land on Splinter's head, like in the 1990 film. Also from the same movie is Mikey's crush on April. Also like the 1990 movie, Shredder holds a beaten member of the Turtles' family at his mercy and orders them to drop their weapons and surrender if they want them to live. The Turtles do so and he rewards their compliance by following through with his threat. Mikey mentions finishing a hip-hop Christmas album, which may be referencing one of the most infamous moments in Turtle history. Shredder's armor seems to be similar to that of the incarnation depicted in the 2003 series. It even has the same three-toed dragon emblem used by the Foot Clan from that series on the centre of the chest. At one point Raphael uses a chain as a weapon, referencing his weapon of choice as the Nightwatcher in the 2007 CG film. What little we see of the real Shredder shows he is bald and scarred, very similar to the animated series that was airing at the time this film was released. Subverted with Eric Sacks, which sounds like an Anglicization of Oroku Saki, a.k.a. the Shredder. Three of the four Turtles take design cues from the proposed fourth live-action movie that never happened, including Donny's glasses/goggles and modified bo staff, Leo's overall ninja/samurai warrior look, and Mikey's street clothes look. TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman did have a hand in writing that movie and was a consultant for writing this one, so it may not be an accident.

When Splinter is lamenting April's involvement during the Turtles' ha-shi punishment, Mikey's hand can be seen reaching for the pizza slice Splinter used to break his concentration. At the end of the scene he can be seen happily munching away on it.

Rummage Sale Reject: Those new outfits are not haute couture, to put it mildly. Donatello has a computer's cooling fan stuck to the back of his shell, and Michelangelo has a hoodie tied around his waist, among other things. Flashbacks show that the turtles dressed that way since they were children, probably from what they could scrounge from the sewers.

comment
Out of Focus: The Turtles themselves, despite being the titular characters. They do not fully appear until about 20 minutes in and the movie mostly focuses on April instead. She gave the Turtles their names, she marked them all with their signature colors, she fed them pizza, resulting their love for pizza, she set them free by putting them in New York City's sewers. Out of all the characters, she is the only one who has a direct connection to Shredder as Eric Sacks killed her father,note Originally, Sacks was supposed to be the Shredder, meaning the Shredder would be the one who directly killed her father. However, in the finished movie, Sacks is the Shredder's adopted son, so the Shredder's son killed April's father. while Hamato Yoshi is Adapted Out, removing any direct connection the Turtles or Splinter usually have with him. And in the final showdown, it is April who strikes the final blow that nearly kills the Shredder.

Adapted Out: Hamato Yoshi is nowhere to be seen in this story, with Splinter a mutated rat (neither Yoshi himself, nor Yoshi's pet) who learned ninjitsu from reading books on it. Oroku Saki is not named on camera, but the character himself embodies the name of The Shredder. Casey Jones is not in the film as well, despite being in the parallel first movie. He was later introduced in the sequel.

comment
Sacks and his mentor the Shredder pass it between them, possibly due to one raising the other, with Bad Boss tendencies (most notably killing a loyal mook to explain a nefarious plan to the turtles moments before they plan to exsanguinate the lot), and a penchant for just stopping mid-fight, perhaps out of pride.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: After April learns of the mutant turtles' identities, she tries to tell Bernadette about the situation. However, since she has minimal evidence to back up her claims, April understandably gets fired. That would get you fired in real-life. She doesn't miraculously get her job back at the end either, choosing not to expose her new friends. Similarly, April's flatmate Taylor doesn't believe her either. In fact, she actually decides to move out. Splinter and the Turtles are self-taught from a karate book that got tossed into the sewer. Though competent against mooks due to their size and speed, Shredder is out of their league since he's better-trained and wearing Powered Armor that makes him a physical equal. The sewer-surfing scene is getting to be a tradition for this franchise, but then a slight mis-timing causes all of them to reach the narrow drain at once instead of one after another. At least it's Played for Laughs. In other adaptations and incarnations, April's first meeting with the turtles goes relatively well. In this film, they're a lot less friendly towards her. Why? Because she took their picture and had every intention of exposing them. Naturally, they wouldn't be very happy about that.

Adaptational Heroism: Vernon. In the 1987 cartoon, he is a Jerkass and a Dirty Coward. This film takes away much of his jerkassery and makes him an Action Survivor and something of a Badass Bystander along with April. This arguably makes him closer to the way he was originally portrayed in the '87 cartoon before he turned into April's rival.

Blade Below the Shoulder: He wouldn't be "The Shredder" without 'em. The Shredder's Powered Armor has several per arm, and he can even pull them out to make a double-edged blade. The suit can also fire the blades, and safely bring them back with magnets. He looks like a Swiss army knife.

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Taken to the apex with the Shredder Powered Armor. Not only does it have at least 3 massive blades on each arm, it is designed to launch those blades in a fanning motion and has a magnetic return system, letting him recover "ammo" almost instantly. Although towards the end it starts backfiring, as the Turtles start deflecting those blades back at him. Played straight with Leonardo, who chucks a katana at Shredder and impales his shoulder.

Mook Chivalry: Inverted. While the Shredder is both skilled and powerful, the main reason why the last fight drags on as long as it does seems to be because the turtles are courteous enough to attack him one by one at first. Perhaps they were worried about Conservation of Ninjutsu?

Truer to the Text
 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) / int_b552b24
comment
Truer to the Text: The film had an interesting deal with this behind-the-scenes. An early version of the script had the Shredder be the alter-ego of an American businessman named Eric Sacks, who adopted it from the stories of an ancient Japanese warlord. This is actually in line with the comics mythology as many different characters have taken on the name of the Shredder (replicated in the '03 series), but was not present in the '87 tv show or the 90's movie series. Fan backlash to the idea of a "Whitewashed Shredder" lead to reshoots to have a more traditional Japanese Shredder included in Sach's Evil Plan.

comment
Distinctive Appearances / Divergent Character Evolution: The individual turtles are much more visually diverse than in any past incarnation. It goes beyond color-coding their masks and weapons, to major clothing differences and physical stature. Raphael is incredibly muscular compared to the other three. On top of that, his mask is a bandanna fashioned like a do-rag, he's covered in training bandages, and is the least clothed of the four. He also has a character scarred onto his right shoulder. Leonardo sports shoulder guards and other samurai-style armor garments. He's the most "average" build of the four. Donatello is decked from head to shell in various gadgets, including goggles mounted on his forehead and stereotypically taped Nerd Glasses, and wears jika-tabi socks. He's the tallest and thinnest of the brothers. Michelangelo has a puka shell necklace, sneakers, and a hoodie around his waist. Even when he's serious, his general facial composition still makes him look dopey. He's the shortest and roundest turtle.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: The Turtles dread the ha-shi, where they have to perform balancing acts while simultaneously doing another task for hours on end. Leonardo: doing the splits on cinderblocks while balancing eggs on single chopsticks and on his head. Raphael: maintaining a crane stance on a tricycle while knitting. Donatello: standing on a balance board while keeping ping-pong balls in the air. He's starting to get nauseous. Michelangelo: doing a handstand on a swivel chair. He's actually starting to enjoy himself until Splinter brings out a pizza and starts listing off the impossible list of ingredients.

Shout-Out: Raph doing his Batman voice. The lair being referred to as the Turtles' Hogwarts, Fortress of Solitude, Xavier's Academy and state-of-the-art Wonder Dome. It's been suggested that the Shredder's line "the rat has not taught you well" is an inversion of Darth Vader's line in The Empire Strikes Back admiring Obi-Wan's training of Luke. Before the Turtles head off to their confrontation with the Shredder, Mikey tells April in a slightly high-pitched voice that he'll always be with her "right here" as he points directly to her heart.

comment
Highly-Visible Ninja The brothers may have ninja training, but they're still huge green turtles in brightly-colored masks. The Foot are portrayed less like the typical portrayal of ninja and more like an urban commando group with terrorist tendencies. Their name is known to the general populace of New York and most of their Foot Soldiers rely heavily on firearms, with martial arts generally being a resort used for close proximity. This however, is basically what Shredder wants. He wants people to know and fear the name of the Foot Clan, implying that they used to remain discreet, but he views that as society reducing them to mere myths, and wishes for them to rise up and take control.

comment
Race Lift: It was initially suggested that Eric Sacks was a new incarnation of the Shredder/Oroku Saki. However, this proves to have been a Red Herring, as Sacks is seen speaking to a man shrouded in shadows, evidently Oroku Saki himself, about developing a new suit of armor for him. Interestingly, Sacks is the Shredder in the 3DS version of the movie, as well as in earlier comments by Fincher himself, leading some to speculate that Sacks was originally Shredder but was changed to avoid any further fan backlash. This was later confirmed to be true by Fincher himself later on. April's boss Burne Thompson is now an African American. Also an example of Gender Flip, since Thompson is now a woman and her first name is Bernadette.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Raphael is constantly at odds with Leonardo, hates being told what to do, and mentions that he's leaving the group the first chance he gets. However at the end, he defers to Leo's leadership and tells the others to do the same, as well as confessing that he threatens to leave because he's really just scared that he's not as good as them, and he only says that to make them bond harder when it feels like things are driving them apart.

Lightning Bruiser: The greater size and weight these incarnations of the Turtles possess don't seem to do much in slowing down their traditionally acrobatic abilities. Special mention goes to Raphael, who has shoulders bigger than truck tires but is flipping and ninja-ing with the best of them, and even manages to sneak into the back of the Fenwick Express without April or Vernon hearing him. The Shredder's Powered Armor also allows him to retain his swift fighting style.

Vernon is fine with this, but taking his eye off the road causes them to crash.

Decomposite Character: The traditional Shredder roles are split between Oroku Saki/The Shredder, and his pupil, Eric Sacks. Sacks leads the Foot Clan openly and is the mastermind of the plans, while Saki largely functions as a bruiser who keeps threats like the Turtles at bay. This is largely due to the fact that the film originally intended Eric Sacks to actually be the Shredder, with reshoots and edits used to insert Saki back into the story after the backlash the film received over making the Shredder into a white guy.

Would Hit a Girl: While the attacks aren't like full-on punches to the face or anything, Raphael does slam Karai into a wall in their first encounter, and is the one that takes out the jeep she's in. Likewise, Shredder clearly has no problem killing April, attempting to do so repeatedly, though the Turtles keep distracting him. Additionally, Sacks, having killed April's father, has no qualms about killing April when she shows up to foil his plans in the climax.

Talking Is a Free Action: Played with. When clinging onto a structure falling from a 54-story building, Raphael makes a long-winded speech to his brothers about how he loves them despite being hard on them... while the structure and accompanying debris falls in slow motion. Right as he's caught up in the speech, however, he discovers that they have made it safely to the ground in the time that he's taken to make the speech.
