Paramount Pictures' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a 2014 American action-adventure film directed by Jonathan Liebesman and produced by Michael Bay. The movie is inspired by the comic book series created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, and it stars Megan Fox, Will Arnett, and William Fichtner.
The film tells the story of four anthropomorphic turtles who are named after renaissance artists and trained in the art of ninjutsu by their rat sensei, Master Splinter. When the city of New York comes under threat from the evil Shredder and his Foot Clan, the turtles must work together with reporter April O'Neil and her cameraman Vernon Fenwick to save the day and stop the Foot Clan's nefarious plans.
The film sparked controversy among fans of the original series due to its depiction of the turtles as being created through genetic experimentation rather than the original comic's explanation of them being mutated by exposure to radioactive waste. Despite this controversy, the film was a commercial success, grossing over $493 million worldwide.
Overall, Paramount Pictures' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a fun and action-packed movie that successfully brings the beloved characters to life on the big screen.
