Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

PodBill Just what I expected

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

codemon Dude guys, you guys are rating this as if it was supposed to be an intricate adult super hero movie. Stop that dorks!! This movie is for the fun-loving teens, kids, and adults who don't necessarily need an sophisticated movie to enjoy truly FUN. This is the perfect super hero movie that needs to be made more of so we have something for the teens and the kids. I mean seriously, Sheesh!!The movie was completely dorky, but funny, fun, adventurous, and plenty of nostalgia for anyone that loved the corny late 20th century movies and video games.

Leofwine_draca OUT OF THE SHADOWS is the sequel to the film that nobody asked for, another live-action TURTLES movie that renders the comic book characters into bland and unremarkable CGI blobs. This is much of a muchness with the first film in the series, with incessant CGI action throughout and the dumbest kind of humour imaginable. The good characters run around a lot and act heroically, while the bad characters chew and spit their dialogue and every human in the cast gives way to yet more big CGI effects. The only thing I liked about this film is the inclusion of some old favourite characters of mine that were also in the cartoon TV show of the 1980s, but they end up being just as generic as everyone else. What a pity that a film with this much money and this many resources behind it can be so bland.

Jason Reid (JasonR77) I'll preface by saying that I've seen the first four Transformers movies and the first one of these as well. I've watched a fair amount of Michael Bay in my time. This is a spectacular level of awful even by Bay standards. The Turtle personas are horribly underdeveloped, and their looks have not improved from the first film either. The dialogue is plodding and in dire need of editing, and none of the secondary characters contributes anything of real note.As with Transformers, the humans are more of the story than they should be. The CGI characters are why the movie is being made, and they don't get nearly enough time to justify the expense of creating them. Don't get me wrong, it's spectacular to see Bebop and Rocksteady, and the design works, but there's a lot left on the table.This wouldn't be so bad if they were interesting. Stephen Amell, who is familiar with the vigilante role, who lauded the script on his Facebook, is underutilized to the point of being a waste. Casey Jones was a great part of the original TMNT film in 1990, played by Elias Koteas as a layered character with a great sense of humor that bonds with the Turtles. Amell's version doesn't get to that level, and it's unfortunate.Megan Fox continues to do what she does best; look pretty and be shocked by things, but April O'Neil is a missed mark yet again, and Tyler Perry doesn't quite nail the mad scientist motif necessary for Baxter. An evil laugh would have done wonders for him.And then there's Krang. Krang looks about as right as possible for a CGI version of a disembodied brain, but he is far removed from his original characterization. He isn't diabolical, he's a brain-shaped bully.As such, just like with Transformers, Bay's team misses out on some great characters and settings, creates CGI issues and failed plot lines, and the whole thing falls flat as a result.

krazealeingamer looks like the turtles were on drugs and buffed up on steraroids they way they were "turned into"ninja turtles is BS the original 3 was the best and didn't look buffif your a true TMNT fan from the 90s don't watch iti tryed to watch it online for FREE and gave up after if came out on DVD went straight to NETFLIX INSTANT VIEW thats just sad!
