It's pretty silly that there are giant mutated turtles living with a giant rat in the sewers of Manhattan, who not only talk, but also eat pizza and practice martial arts. But that's what's great about this movie, it's totally bonkers! And I'm glad the directors and writers stayed true to the story by not changing much of the concept except for Splinter who was a human actually not a rat but then again it's all in silly fun.
I'm still amazed and blown away by the creation of the turtles thanks to the late great Jim Henson and his Creature Shop. I only wish they'd be used in films today than the unconvincing fraud of CGI.
About the actors, mostly all of them were somewhat close to what I had expected. Casey Jones played by Elias Koteas I felt played a decent role but was too much of a nice guy in the film and could've used a little more brawn and aggression. I like how they portrayed Shredder, a coward in the cartoon but in the film an intimidating skilled warrior who means business.
The ending is the best when the turtles confront Shredder. Awesome action, good script, overall I rate it a Cowabunga 9/10!
