After they knock her unconscious, Raph saves her before they kill her. He believes that he killed all the men, and then carries April on her way back down the drain.

Casey Jones had secretly spotted Raphael at the time that the soldiers attacked him. He hurries over to assist the turtles. After April's home is accidentally lit on fire the fire is extinguished and she, Casey, and the turtles leave the scene.

The critics at the time the movie came out were not awestruck by this film. Rotten Tomatoes said it was "good for the heartbeat and a bit irritating for everyone else." I personally believed it to be an excellent film. These critics, I'm sure have given an unfair criticism of the film. I'm not sure what they thought it would be. It was a story about four turtles that were Ninjas. I don't believe it was intended as a standard however, I think it was. The plot is interesting and keeps your interest with its drama, action, and humor. The film has a lot of everything.

Evidently, an intriguing character in the movie is Raphael. Raphael is one of the turtles however, he is able to stand above the rest. Raph appears to have more personality at the beginning, while others are more of a group. For example, when Raph is out to watch a film by himself, he fights with Casey Jones, while the other characters stay in the sewer and eat pizza. Additionally, Raph again goes out on his own to see April and rescues April from Foot Soldiers all by himself. There is a scene in which Raph and the Foot Soldiers nearly kill him since he's only one of them and they're numerous. At first the film, he's working alone, but in the course of the story and he recovers from his injuries He becomes a part of the group, as they join forces to take on with the Foot Clan and find out the fate of Splinter.

To summarize my thoughts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an outstanding film that is suitable for everyone in the family!
