I loved the first three quarters of this movie but I think the ending was ridiculous and almost funny. The acting was great but the premise became ridiculous. All clues point to the aloof husband as a missing wife cast is investigated. The whole town helps to figure out the whereabouts of Kate. I was hoping for more aha moments but it became so far fetched it disappointed me. I must give it credit for being an extraordinary tale and it had me guessing all throughout. Ben Afleck did a superb job in a part that seemed made for him and Ms. Rosemund Pike did a great USA accent. Three out of the four stages of this movie is great.

This movie is great to watch for anyone who lived in the 1990's and remembered the fame of the turtles. My 27 year old son sat and watched with me. He was told the movie was not that good but agreed that this was a great and enjoyable movie. The action was regular Bay-type chaos and broken buildings. The characters made me feel as if I was back in the old days but they were also modernized by the action. I loved the elevator scene as well. Megan Fox and Will Arnett seemed too old to play the characters and hopefully they will be replaced for the sequel. Michael Bay kind of digressed to the Transformers for a few minutes and then came back to good Turtle Action! I would suggest you sit with a child who lived through the times way back when. You will enjoy every minute of it.

This movie allowed me to enjoy the concept of retiring and enjoying a strange land. I felt the heat from the Indian hotel as I tried to figure out why they made such a daring move. The British seem to have a more opened mind about the idea of adopting the lands of the former British commonwealths. The pacing of the movie allows us to feel the way one of great nobility would deal with retiring in a land completely different than jolly old England. I would see this movie again. The actors are all over sixty years of age but they play the part of people with heavy back stories and you become absorbed into the way they deal with such drastic change. The Indian actors seem a it over the top and the way that everyone in the land seemed so friendly kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Still, the vibration of the heat and madness which is India is well represented.
