My own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT)



We were too late for "Meet the Robinsons" as it was fully booked. Didn't really think much about it when The Cathay Cineleisure counter assistant told me to watch TMNT as it was suitable for kids.

In the cinema hall, Christa (1+yrs) was enjoying herself standing on her seat while Clarissa was happily chomping away at some Pringles. It started with the TMNT being separated and the leader Leonardo was away in Latin America with some soul searching in the jungles. There was trouble when he returned as Raphael who was disillusioned by all the injustice and crime in the city did not welcome his return. As they started fighting it out in the streets late one night, Christa and Clarissa started feeling restless. Clarissa refused to share her Pringles but Christa wasn't ready to stay put without a fight. But it was still manageable as I got a few pieces from Clarissa and gave them to Christa one by one.

Towards the last 15 minutes of the movie, the monstors were all caught and the evil generals were ready to rebel against their king brother. The music and violence was both getting too unbearable to Christa and she just bolted out of my clutches and shook her head and wanted out!

Spent the last 10 minutes outside the cinema hall talking to Christa along the alley. The cinema attendant told me that the movie was going to end which caused me to want to watch the ending. I swiftly took hold of Christa and sat right at the back. Clarissa then brought Christa's bottle to give her some water but a fight broke out and they both grabbed the Pringels container. The last monster was lured into the building and finally,.... both Clarissa and Christa ended wailing and screaming at each other but only I knew what happened as others couldnt hear the commotion as there were huge explosions on the screen. `

I was glad the movie was over. Definitely TMNT is and should not be recommended for all age groups. It should be at least above 13 yrs of age. Maybe there should be a warning to have hearing protection too!
