Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows

I truly enjoyed the first one but this one was not very good at all. Casey Jones was not very Casey Jones in the fact that he was not like a vigilante he was a detective on a mission that I don't understand why he was so obsessed with. Half way into the movie I was really bored out of my mind and I had so much hope for this movie. Darn shame all the fluff they put in this movie that did not even belong in it. Not very deep and felt really dumbed down. **SPOILER ALERT** The fight scene with the turtles and Beebop and Rocksteady was very short and not very good. Shredder doesn't even fight anyone he just growls the whole movie. Krang was a welcomed edition and that fight scene was the best part of the movie and it wasn't very good.

This was the Michael Bay Influence I was afraid of. When I heard that Michael Bay was directing the first TMNT movie my heart sank. As a child of the early 90's I was die-hard Turtles fan. After watching the first movie, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't completely suck and even paid homage to several parts of the original series/movies in surprisingly thoughtful ways. So as you can imagine I allowed myself to be optimistic when I heard this movie was coming out. I mean not only were BeBop and Rocksteady in it but Krang as well! This movie was a big sad trombone. No amount of homage could save this it. BeBop and Rocksteady were not written well, Krang might as well have been an overwrought cyborg version of Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean, and Baxter Stockman was a atrocious, blatant parody of Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I was doubly disappointed that Megan Fox, who did a half-decent job as April in the first movie, was the vapid sexpot that she is in nearly every other Michael Bay movie. She was boring and one-dimensional, even for Megan Fox in a Michael Bay movie. I could go on but I don't Google won't give more space. In short, wait for Netflix.

I actually went to see the movie to make sure that I wasn't commiting plagiarism! Yep, I'm in process of writing the next Turtles. I actually have to agree with the fans on this one, I wasn't wowed! I walked out asking questions and wanting and wishing for more ninja-fighting... the Turtles in real action and suspense!! So fans get ready because I will do all I can to enlighten the passion that we all have with the Turtles! !! The next two movies will have you all in amazement! WOW!! CAN'T WAIT
