Meanwhile, when interdimensional being Krang (Armisen) decides to invade Earth, the Turtles must defeat them with the help of human friends April O’Neil (Fox), Vern Fenwick (Arnett) and the vigilante Casey Jones (Amell)…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

It’s the biggest, loudest and dumbest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie yet – but even we have to admit, it DOES look a lot more fun than its just-plain-dumb predecessor (damn you, Michael Bay!)
