 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles He was in the hash shell to the poem Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows My name is Brandon Keith Avery And this is just my opinion Alright guys, I'm a young man now But as a child, I absolutely love The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles It was probably my favorite cartoon All time at the time as a little boy But now that I'm grown I still have a huge fan base For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I mean look, I still have part 1, 2, and 3 Of the live action 90 series That came out a long time ago And I love this series So back in 2014 When we found out that Michael Bay Will be producing a new rebooted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I was excited a little skeptical Because they did have to do with Michael Bay And he was my favorite director Of all time until Transformers Revenge of the Fallen came out And he's still a good director And I'll get to that later But he wasn't directing this film It was Jonathan Leesman He's the guy that did Wrath of Titans And he also did Battle of Los Angeles And those movies were pretty good So okay But now we have a new director At the helm for part 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows That is Dave Green He did Earth to Echo And I thought Earth to Echo Was a cute little movie Now my expectations for part 2 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows was very low Because I did not like The first movie at all Pretty much hated it I thought it was abomination To the live action movie in the 90s I thought it was an abomination To the cartoon Back at the early Not early but late 80s Early 90s I mean I just thought that the origin story Of the turtles was all over the place It was a lot of plot points That just didn't make sense to me I did like the personality of the turtles And I will say that in the 2014 film My most favorite part Was the turtles elevator scene I honestly was laughing pretty hard Doing that scene But overall I did not care for that movie So my part 2 was coming out I really didn't care for that either So like I said Going into this movie I had very very low expectations Some of the earlier reviews On rotten tomatoes Start popping up And all these other sights And you know Just the word of mouth Wasn't spreading around that good But I still wanted to go in With an open mind Because while I did not enjoy The film the first time I did like the personality Of the turtles I just did not like the direction That they went with the entire picture As it just seemed so extremely goofy With CGI characters everywhere I would have preferred Like live action costumes But going into part 2 I just had to accept it For what it was And try to have a good time in Initially I did As soon as the movie started out You get to see all the turtles Acting like the young teenage sales Acting like kids Bumbling all around Doing action adventure ninja type stuff And it was quite entertaining And it was quite funny And it just kind of let you know The life that these turtles are living In the big city of New York And I was on board With their characters And even how the CGI looked It didn't look bad It's kind of hard to pick One turtle out of them all To say who is my absolute favorite If you know these characters You know that they're very different They're not always the leader Raphael is the attitude On this movie that called him The muscle, Michelangelo's The goofy personality And Donatello is the brains And just for fun If I had to pick one character Out of them all That I liked the best I would probably go with Leo I just think that he's just real cool Lay back, real easy going Type of guy, great leader I don't know I just gravitate towards him more Than all the other turtles But I do love them all I mean they were great in the first film And they were great in this film too Their personality is just perfect I think whoever had to do with that The studio, the writing, the director, whatever They hit that out of the park With the personality of the turtles And I don't think they could have did A better job than they did here As far as Splinter is concerned I'm still not really in love with Splinter I don't know why But it's just something about his character And his voice that does not remind me Of the Splinter that I used to know And love from way back in the day Yes of course this is a new adaptation And things are gonna change And things are gonna be different But I like the turtles But I just didn't like Splinter Now someone that they're adding to The mix of characters Actually before I get there Let's just talk about Megan Fox I mean she's fine And I don't mean that Literally like as in me finding her attractive I mean she's attractive woman But I mean as far as her role is April O'Neill She's fine She's not great She doesn't suck She's just there Anyone could be playing this role The movie had to give you a reason For her to want to be stripping her clothes off And yes they did have a little scene With that as you saw in the trailers I was gonna bring up another character But he's just not worth mentioning In my opinion Now another character that they did bring Into the fall was Casey Jones Played by Stephen Amell The guy that plays Arrow On the CW show He did an okay job But his Casey Jones to me Is just a little friendly For my taste If you know part one And part two of the 90s movie You know that Casey Jones is kind of a badass He's kind of rough around the edges He's kind of someone that has A rough lifestyle Somebody that you wouldn't run across I did not get that vibe at all From Casey Jones He was a cool character But it just I was gonna say It just His character didn't seem realistic But then again How realistic can a character seem In a movie titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles And I'll touch on that later But what I did like about his character Is how he did fit in With the rest of the turtles In April O'Neill And just how they incorporated him Within the rest of the plot and the story I won't spoil it for you here But I thought that was creative Because it would have been kind of hard Just to You know get a random Hockey rough Sticking person And throw him into the mix with the turtles That's already weird When you're talking about Crane and Shredder And all that Which I'll get to in a second But as far as his character He was okay I wasn't in love with him But I did like the way he tied in With the story As far as Shredder is concerned I mean okay He looked cool I still prefer the Shredder in the 90's cartoon Not the 90's cartoon But the 90's live action movie He seemed like more of a badass in this This is just an Asian guy That looks threatening Whoa He's trying to look threatening But they don't really give him much material To look threatening with Other than his cool looking ninja suit And Shredder armor That does look cool He looks like he just wants to slice people up For no reason And I guess that's the point So I think they won there As far as Baxter Stockman is concerned Played by Tyler Perry I mean I liked it But I didn't like it It was 50-50 I mean I kind of felt that he was too muscular To try to play the role that he was playing You know I'm somewhat of a fan of Tyler Perry I'm 50-50 with him as well As well with his role in the movie Some of his acting performances in this Films I like some I don't like And some of the quips that Baxter Stockman and him as Tyler Perry Played in this movie I like some of them I didn't like Like I mean sometimes he was really acting nerdy And geeking out and whatnot And that made me laugh But other times It came across that he was A smooth swab type of character That forgot to be nerdy the whole time And so There was a little inconsistency there At times it was a little bit over the top Just goofy For no reason to be goofy But then again What else can you expect From a teenage mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows movie Bebop in Rock Steady Character favorites of mine as a child Of course they was not in this series right here But they were in the cartoon And possibly Two worst characters I've ever seen on screen But I keep saying this Then again I mean Brandon This is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles And you know that there is a character That turns to a rhino in the Warthog But I just don't understand Why they had to make them so stupid And ignorant I mean you could have had them Like to be bumbling dorks But I mean my goodness gracious You just did not have to tone them down To this level of stupidity I just don't think it was that necessary There's gonna be a lot of children That are gonna like it And if that's what the studio is going for Hey bravo You know you won there But with their crazy personality Along with the ridiculous looking CGI I just was not a fan of their characters And one of them to die off immediately Now like I said at the beginning Of this review I really was on board at the beginning I mean it started out with laughs You got to see the turtles personality And how they just you know Was getting on with life in New York You saw what was important to them And how they've grown from the first film And the film had a simple plot The bad guys are trying to take over the world And in order for them to try to take over the world They have to execute A, B, and C And the turtles have to stop them And I was along with the ride I mean there were some things That were making me frustrated here and there But they were just little nitpicks And I was just saying to myself That you know man I really am enjoying this film a lot more Than I am enjoying the first film And I think that's because there was no origin story And they were not trying to make the turtles look all cool I mean I was just embracing What the film was giving me And accepting what it was For what it was But all that turned over To complete 180 And was going the opposite direction When that got to that scene In the trailers to where they were on the plane And when they were trying to get on the plane That was cool But actually when the turtles got inside the plane And they were trying to do their thing To stop the day Involved with bebop and rocksteady That is when the whole film Just took a nove dive Into the ground Crash burn And exploded With no evidence Residue or DNA left over I mean it was just a flaming hot mess after that And it just kept going Lower and lower and lower The film just got dumber and dumber and dumber And you may consider this a spoiler But I just don't care I don't understand If you are a character trying to live That if you are in a plane That is thousands of feet in the sky So while you will pull out A 50 caliber machine gun That is on the back of a tank And open fire How do you expect to escape out of this You're gonna blow the plane away And kill yourself along with everybody else And that was just one of the decisions That one of the characters made That I was just not on board with And everything after that Was just a complete flaming pile of dark shit I just don't understand what happened Why they changed the tone so much at that point They made absolutely no sense to me And I was thinking of myself As I watched the movie Like who in their right mind pitched this And I just wish I was a fly on the wall And then meeting like okay And then we're gonna have the turtles in the sky And then some guy's gonna blow it up And all the wings are gonna fall off And then the front of the plane is gonna blow open And that's gonna explode And it's gonna have smoke and fire everywhere And then the turtle's gonna be flipping around And it's not gonna like it's making sense But that's okay because People just wanna spend their money on anything And it just doesn't really matter they're dumb And we're just gonna feed them a whole bunch of dumb CGI I mean that's just kinda like the pitch That was going on in my head As I was watching this scene And I just wasn't enjoying it at all But then it comes down to the final battle And it's not even a battle It is CGI characters vs a CGI bad guy Fighting on a whole CGI platform The whole screen is just CGI, CGI And they're not even fighting It's just a bunch of characters jumping on top of each other Rolling around, there is no stakes left in this film You don't care because nothing looks real Everyone is making dumb decisions It's over the top silly, over the top goofy It's just down and get down to the level of a preschooler And I'm sorry but that is just not for me And it may be for you but it's just not for me I know I still have, I mean You may wanna say well Brandon I'm hey Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out over 20 years ago But a lot of it, I think not because I still like this film Well it's set for part 3 I like part 1 and part 2 I mean they're a lot of fun I just wish that the films could take a more serious tone That these took right here Then this 5 year old CGI garbage That Michael Bay's production company Platinum Dooms has given us No I know he did not direct the film Dave Green did but his stamp is all over this film It felt like Transformers was thrown up all over this Some of the shops were being made Some of the way the score and the music was coming in The way that was cute Oh Transformers, Transformers This is not Transformers I mean why is it, I don't know I don't want to get frustrated and talk about it anymore But overall the film just wasn't for me I didn't care for it too much I really did enjoy it in the beginning I really was And just another nitpick I don't know why Casey Jones is able to beat up All these ninjas and what not I mean the foot served no threat either I mean I don't know But the movie wasn't for me But maybe it will be for you So if I had to rate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the shadows out of a 1 out of a 10 I'm just going to split it right down the
