Meantime Ritchson defended the film which has divided the TMNT fan base. Chatting with Digital Spy he says:
"The frustrating thing for me since I've signed on is that you hear that it's already got a reputation. I think people assume they know what it's going to be about, and those people are wrong. The assumptions, everything you read online is wrong. You want to tell everybody how great it is, and you can't really say why, but it is"
