Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

bowmanblue I was the original eighties kid who grew up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja (or 'Hero' as it was here in the UK) Turtles cartoon. Then the inevitable live action film was released in 1990 and, despite how bad it really was, I loved it. I stress again - I was a kid. 'Out of the Shadows' is the second instalment of the modern generation of Turtles films and I remember the outcry from us fanboys when the first one was released. Okay, so we had a point about the possibility of the turtles being evolved from aliens, but, overall, it was just how it wasn't representative of what we remembered. And we collectively hated it.Yeah, it was no masterpiece and there were definitely things in it I'd like to have seen, but didn't. But it wasn't terrible. And, bearing that in mind, I decided to watch its follow-up. And, unbelievably, I'm actually quite glad I did. No, I didn't love it - it wasn't really the Turtles that I remembered from my childhood, but suddenly I could see kids today absolutely loving it. In twenty or thirty years' time I can see them arguing with their own children about how whatever new 'update' to the franchise doesn't compare to Megan Fox's portrayal of April O'Neil. And they'll be right. And so will their kids.I could bang on about how there was too much CGI, or that the Turtles themselves looked hideous and scary compared to their loveable cartoon incarnations. Plus the film felt like just another addition to Michael Bay's ever-growing list of blockbusters with more explosions than narrative structure. Then there were the complete gaps in logic where you have to suspend your disbelief in order to get past the fact that, in this post 9/11 world, it's quite feasible to break into a New York police station as long as you have a baseball cap and a toolbox (and I guess looking like Megan Fox helps). Yes, it's fair to say that 'Out of the Shadows' is ripe for ripping apart. And yet it was actually still quite fun.I do hate the overuse of computer effects, but, if you're making a live action story about six foot turtles interacting with humans, what else are you supposed to do? Maybe it was because the cartoon was just so, er, cartoonish, that I enjoyed seeing a mutant pig and rhino - almost literally - butting heads with our pizza-loving heroes, plus there was Krang. And, if you don't know he's a kind of pink living brain who lives in the stomach of a robot in another dimension. He was a true joy to watch. My major criticism of him was that he wasn't in it for long enough and had to share stage with (the more obvious baddie) Shredder, who - again - had very little time to develop his character and only popped up here and there to look moody and evil.After watching the first (recent - 2014) incarnation of the turtles, I can only really remember an end battle on a rooftop. Whereas with 'Out of the Shadows' I can actually recall quite a lot of detail regarding the plot. Okay, so there wasn't much of a plot. Maybe I should state that I can remember quite a lot about the action sequences and pretty visuals, plus the banter between the four turtles was amusing enough to keep me entertained. And this is pure entertainment. Don't expect anything else. Just appreciate that boys today will probably love this film in the same way we loved the cartoon back in the late eighties (and we didn't even have Megan Fox at the helm!). I may even watch this one again one day. And it's definitely better than any of the recent Michael Bay 'Transformers' movies!

funtasticfour I was never a huge fan of TMNT, but as a kid, I watched the cheesy live action movies with the people in costumes. I can't remember them much, but they were ridiculous. This one, like the Transformers movies, looks very good. The effects are mostly good, mixing cartoony creatures into real world New York. I enjoyed the first one for the comedy, and this one is better than most of the Transformers movies, though a lot more silly. I could not find anyone to watch this with me, but it was a fun-ish popcorn flick.

DCfan If you saw my review for the movie before this one you might have noticed I gave it 7/10 because of how bad the story was. This movie actually has a better story line then the previous and it is even more funnier. Like when Bebop and Rocksteady get transformed and when Bebop says to Rocksteady "You are a rhino (looks in the mirror) and i am a little piggy" The moments with these two characters were hilarious.The acting was decent again in this film Megan Fox was hot as April in this movie and considering I am not really a fan of the CW Arrow tv series Stephen Amell was pretty good as Casey Jones in this movie. The CGI was decent as well. I hope this movie gets another squeal to this movie.

Howlin Wolf Better than its previous iteration in every conceivable way, this is pretty much the best live-action Turtles movie you're ever gonna get (from the Bayverse, at least!) so use how open you are to the general concept as a yardstick for whether or not you'll enjoy this...The action sequences get a little Transformer-sey for my taste, especially towards the end, but it does a decent job of setting up backstory for characters and elements that were absent in its predecessor, and having the whole thing make some kind of crazy sense. The Turtles are still ugly, though; I'm a purist, so I miss the rubber suits!
