...while the visuals are terrific, the plot is a distracting clunker that feels like it was written one line at a time by a bunch of overexcited fan-board commentators playing a round-robin storytelling game.

A passable brand rebooting exercise that will impress younger kids even if it doesn't satisfy older fans.

What remains is intensely numbing action scenes, poor plot machinations and joyless character sketches all rendered in exquisitely cold CGI.

I guess if you read the comic strip and you played the video games and you watched the TV show and dug the earlier movies, you'll dig this new version. For me, I didn't do any of that stuff.

It takes more than an awkward title attempting to sound cool to overcome its mundane plot and silly dialogue.
