This was lame. It was almost a shot for shot remake of the original TMNT.
It adds nothing to the story or character of Casey Jones. The only difference is that he is allowed to be more violent.
The scenes are all the same as seen in the movie, even most of the lines are repeated word for word.
It's a low-budget do over that's even cheesier than original film.
They tried to give a more realistic view of a violent vigilante, but all they did was add a bit more blood. They added nothing to the character and nothing to the story.

As a child of the late 80's/ early 90's I grew up watching the ninja turtles cartoon every week and became obsessed. As I'm sure with most people I couldn't get enough. Got the video game, action figures and of course the live action movies. If you really like the movies and like the darker take of the comics then this short is an amazing complement to it. It adds so much o the turtles mythos. Just a chance to see Casey jones get pushed over the edge and take back his neighborhood back by force is amazing! It really reminded me of an old school revenge movie, but in the turtles universe.
The other great thing is you also see a few people from the t.m.n.t. universe make cameos.Really wish this was the direction they were going instead of the Michael Bay crap that is coming out. Kudos to all involved. I saw this movie for free online on the official website and had to own it and proudly put it in my collection.

The moment I heard there was a Casey Jones fan film, I rushed to find it. The website itself is an eye-catcher, designed to totally give a gritty feel. And the film, what can I say. I was in awe at every moment. I feel like the makers took the characters from the comics and movies I grew up loving and brought them to life in the best way possible! Once Jones is an established character, you almost feel bad for the villains he's going to run into. The actors brought such personality to the characters, and totally embody everything you know and love about them. I could spend hours filling this up with flattering comments. I'll just say that if you're a fan of the characters, and feel like you've been let down by some of the other adaptations, then this is the one for you. It makes a fanboy feel proud that work like this can exist. They got a fan out of me, and will out of you too when you watch it. I'll even say this is one of the best fan films I've ever seen. Simply incredible. And very kick ass! I very much hope to see more from these guys in the future!

I typically stay away from shorts from unknown directors, but being a long time TMNT fan I decided to give this one a shot.
Let me first start off by saying that it's obviously low budget, but this doesn't mean it's low in quality. The acting (sans Michelangelo) is forced and bad, though the lead tends to do a much better job when he puts the mask on. The script was dry and didn't have much substance to it. However, the director was able to convey a bit of a darker side to Casey Jones.
The fight scenes weren't bad, though Casey is most certainly violent. There are a couple of scenes I found myself no longer rooting for him and instead seeing a vigilante that was really no better than the people he was protecting society from.
I'd check it out if you have 30 minutes, I think with a bigger budget and better actors, this director could go far with this idea.
