With the recent news that a certain Michael Bay will be putting his own stamp on\u00a0Turtle<\/a>\u00a0lore, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the most recent movie.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 2007, there came a new movie in the Turtle franchise, following 1993’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (They go back in time; it wasn’t pretty).  The catch here is that this time the film was CGI.  An interesting choice this was.  I thought it was a GREAT choice.  It reminded me a bit of the cartoon show (of which I was a big fan).  I thought the graphics looked great then, and as I watch it now, they hold up very well for being five years old.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was not just the return of the Turtles that got me all excited for this movie.  It was the voice cast.  Oh my, the voice cast.  I have no idea who the voices of the Turtles are, but let’s discuss the supporting cast.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll lead off with the big one.  Sir Patrick Stewart (he played a Captain in something).  Sir Patrick plays the main villain of the movie, Max Winters (aka Yaotl).  That’s right, no Shredder.  It seems this movie does (sort of) follow the previous three, and Shredder has been defeated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, we have Sarah Michelle Gellar (you might know her as Buffy) as April O’Neil.  Chris Evans (yup, Captain America and Johnny Storm himself) plays Casey Jones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
