I would like To think that this never existed, it really strayed so far from what TMNT was that I only remember it now a kind of strange experiment From his time,

Ok - this is a cartoon accurate Michael Bay version of a Ninja Turtles Movie! Let's do this!

this was such a good continuation of the movie to where it's like now the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are out to the public to where it's like they're like visual antiques and our heroes to the public and just like seem like how like people react to giant mutated turtles in society and seeing people's reactions !

How anyone can rate this one above the first is beyond me. This mess of illogical idiocy with the stupidest science mumbo jumbo and cliche garbage is awful. Was it more faithful to the cartoon? Maybe, but its mindless garbage. At least the first was coherent and anyone with a brain larger than the size of a pea could engage with it. Past the stupid one liners and over used jokes and action, it makes absolutely no sense. Stuff happens because stuff happens. Over used plot points and nonsensical character motivations. People kept saying this one was better than the first and its garbage in its purest form. The first was far more comprehensive and cohesive with a plot that made sense, characters with proper motivations beyond “I’m good” and “I’m evil”. If you enjoy this movie more than you do the first iteration, congratulations, you are what’s wrong with not only the movie industry but the world in general.

I have my spine, my back, and my bones. I like this movie. Dave Green and Marc Webb are among my favorite directors.

this movie was so terrible! it ruined the original teenage mutant ninja turtles! why it got a sequel!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows more or less go for sure. A story on a similar level as in the previous film. The event is also libovka. The music may be a little worse, but still good. In short, an action pack that follows in the footsteps of the previous one, and if you liked the one from 2014, then this should be a pretty clear choice for you. For me, a good film that I can recommend.

Kinda better than the first film, though by the end it basically levels out as a draw between the two. Too mundane once more. 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' does improve a few things, one being the score - not that it's great or anything, but it's more pleasant than Brian Tyler's attempt. Overall it's a little more watchable, but what affects this most is the messy ending - especially with the CGI, which looks like a video game. Cast-wise it's largely the same, though Johnny Knoxville is dropped - not that I noticed until the credits, mind. Can't say I'll remember any of the cast's performances, just like in the 2014 production. I guess it's a positive that this didn't completely crap the bed, as sequels sometimes do - especially ones that follow poor originals. Still, this isn't good at all - and, unsurprisingly, killed the would-be franchise early on.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" is awesome boring movie. TV series was better than THIS

Better Than The First One TMNT: Out Of The Shadows isn’t as unbearable as the first one, But it’s still dumb, poorly written, and messy.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Its hard to make a dumb movie now being DUMBER than a dumb movie from the 90's. Its REALLY HARD. And not only that, this CGI monsters take away the good looking ninja turtles and turn them into Lago Ness Monsters.

I loved this film at first but watching it now, it's just not as good as the first. it relies Far Too much on Fan Service to a point where it just contradicts the last film. although it does have a lot of Fun Moments and gives us one of the Best Interpratations of Krang in media.

It's good movie and all the people going berserk and rating it 0s and 1s are out of their **** a children's movie which gets the job done and the turtles themselves are presented faithfully.people just like to haate

This was the first teenage mutant ninja turtles movie I ever watched, and was pretty much my introduction to the franchise, and I loved it. The plot may be a bit unfocused, but does that really matter when the movie is so much fun to watch? I don't think so. So I say ignore the critic reviews and give this movie a chance. Fans of the franchise will love it and those who are looking to into get into the franchise will love it as well.

Much better than the first reboot. It has Krang in it, Rocksteady, Bebop, Humor, Action, 80's references and April o'neil is hot. Considering that is an adolescience filx based on a 80's cartoon for child it does his job proprerly.

vary good it has action comedy and adventure one of the best action movies i have seen and to me in my opinion the movie is alot better than the show the show has 0% of comedy and the movie 15% of comedy and comedy is my favorite type of movies but if you like comedy action and adventure i recommend this movie to you

Not as bad as expected. It was better than the first one, but still lacks any energy and chemistry. The action scenes were better and CGI still looked fine, but awful story and no memorable performance from anyone hurts it bad.

While not as bad as the first one, this sequel manages to be nothing special here either. The story itself is just full of fan service to try to get fans nostalgia to blindly make them like this movie, and even without it, this movie would have just been like the original, dull and boring. The action scenes are not that exciting and lose tension because of bad, if anything at all, character development. The CGI is is once again terrible looking with no improvement. And the humor does nothing to make a intelligent person laugh.Overall, instead of actually trying to improve on the franchise, it just makes it continue to displease fans and moviegoers alike.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is an extended episode of the 1980s cartoon come onto the big screen. It features the same type of stupidity, vapid plotting and childish nature as that old cartoon series. But... Since I grew up watching that, this TMNT flick was a lot of idiotic fun. My only complaint really is that the final action sequence should have been better and should have featured Shredder, Bepob and Rocksteady more.

Even though of course it was unbelievably predictable I found this movie quite interesting and it made me remember my childhood times when I grew up watching Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles cartoons and all that, plus this movie is more for the fun and action stuff instead of making much sense

I understand what this film is trying to do, it's trying to be fun and entertaining. But it didn't do it for me thanks to the awful acting, terrible CGI and lack of anything really interesting. TMNT fans might like it.

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' is almost as unbearable as its 2014 predecessor, if not, maybe worse. The film contains the same tacked-on humor, lame CGI that looks like it was from a 20 year old Pixar film, and characters that could not be more one-dimensional if the screenwriters tried. We see the four turtles return once again, Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) seem to be shocked to discover at how much credit that Vern (Will Arnett) is taking after taking down the Shredder in the previous battle. Since they have to remain unseen to the public, some of them find it hard to cope with saving the world and not being rewarded for it. All the public would do is shut them out for looking like hideous monsters even though they mean no harm. April O'Neil (Megan Fox) is also back, and she is planning to find out more information about the mysterious Dr. Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and what he might be doing with some chemicals at the TCRI lab. When she finally does discover what he is truly up to, it's not good news, especially for the turtles as well as the innocent people. Some new additions to the sequel include Casey Jones (Stephen Amell from 'Arrow'), the fan favorites; Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Sheamus) as well as adding Laura Linney as Chief Rebecca Vincent, who often looks down on Casey, who wants to prove to her that he can be a worthy cop. The Shredder (Brian Tee) manages to escape jail and plans to threaten the city once again... only this time, the turtles seem to have trouble hiding themselves from the public. Everywhere they go, there is always this concern that they might expose themselves to anyone who aren't familiar with them. The film, once again, is not directed by Michael Bay (he remains as producer), but is directed by Dave Green. However, it's hard to ignore that it still feels like a Michael Bay directed action movie. The typical slow-motion explosions, the out-of-place humor (we get more fart jokes again), proving that Megan Fox is nothing more than eye-candy, and some unusual camera techniques that were only unique to a Michael Bay-directed movie. Never has a movie failed to gain my attention, but 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' might just get that reward.

A pretty big step in the right direction. April O'Neil (still not a redhead) and Vernon are kept in their sidekick roles, we get a more respectable portrayal of Shredder, there are more classic villains, and the turtles are the main focus like they should have been in the first movie. The result is a movie much more enjoyable for TMNT fans. The plot is pure nonsense. Both the enemies and the turtles have access to some absurd technology that serves only the purpose of making it as convenient as possible for the villains to have a plan and the turtles to pick up on it. From there it's the standard save the world from ending by powering down some crazy device plot setup that we've seen so much since the start of the superhero movie craze. At least the heroes in a half shell have their own identities this time around, despite the nonsensical and borrowed plot. Aside from basically being April O'Neil: The Movie, one of the more key flaws to the first of this rebooted series is that it's tone borrowed so much from the other heroes we've seen onscreen lately. There was some of The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Spider-Man, and so on. The turtles themselves had their signature personalities, but it was hard to pick up on it with all these other superheroes' tones floating around. The fact that the spotlight was on Megan Fox's O'Neil for so much of that movie didn't help either. It ultimately just didn't feel much like a TMNT movie. Out of the Shadows helps to rectify that mistake. The turtles are front and center in their own movie, like it should have been the first time around. Their lovable personalities are intact and come together just as excellently as ever. The results are a lot of laughs and four dudes you just can't help but root for. Sure we've seen their "we can't work together" drama brought on from their differing personalities repeated in countless forms of TMNT entertainment ad nauseam, but it's worth putting up with just to see these guys return to form on the big-screen. The action is still CGI-fueled big spectacle. Expect to see a lot of stuff go boom. Thankfully though, despite having Michael Bay's name attached to it, this never reaches Transformers level of visual noise. With the turtles at the center of it, it's still really entertaining to watch. Even if doesn't make much sense how the side-characters are able to take out groups on ninja's without the help of the brothers. Villains like Bebop and Rocksteady make things even more exciting. While not completely out of the woods yet, the rebooted series gets better with this sequel. The writing could still use some work, but the turtles feel more themselves. The inclusion of classic characters and elements make it a bigger hit for TMNT fans young and old, although the stronger language is not appreciated and may have some parents wanting to cover the younger watchers ears. It may still be big, Hollywood superhero absurdity, but there are enough improvements to maybe get you to slip out a cowabunga or two. 7.5/10

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

They are back with even more stimulated to fight the crime. Another great addition to the franchise, I completely enjoyed. The first thing is the pace, it was so fast, from opening to the end, non-stop actions and comedies. I regret that I was not able to watch this in digital 3D, other than that, this is a wonderful film for TMNT fans. I know, some people downgrading it, but don't believe them, it is just a fine film if not an awesome as I'm praising, particularly keeping in my mind the common people. So watch this for entertainment and it will deliver for sure. There are some flaws, but I did not care about them, because it was not a documentary film or even a sci-fi film, it's just a fun-action film. So everything was aimed to bring laughs and it did successfully. If you go with science, then this is a nonsense film. Anyway, the vfx was very impressive, the CGI characters looked even better than the previous one. Don't compare it with the DC or Marvel's films, it is setting up its own trend. Like those new additions, Rhino and Warthog characters were seems more like reading a comic book, straight outta from the sketches. Excellent follow-up and expecting another sequel in the next two years. The director of 'Earth to Echo' did a great job, and also all the actors. Little disappointed was the villain. I expected some strong confrontation between the heroes and the bad guys which was a let down. Though, all the stunt sequences were well designed. Those clichés like a mad scientist, alien invasion, hole in the sky et cetera, did not stop me from having a good time. Surely I would watch it one more time, just for entertainment, that's what this film is good at. I suggest you as well to watch it if you're seeking the same. 8/10

I personally love this movie. Yes there are some faults (Bebob and Rocksteady are a bit to annoying) but the movie gave me that feeling that they made this for the fans. Casey Jones was also a bit of a letdown, it feels like he is just there for the name sake, not like the first Turtle movie (1990) where he actually played a big part and was necessary to advance the plot. Other than that, great movie.

Okay, guys, can we PLEASE get Megan Fox a vehicle that actually shows what she can do?!!?!?! She was so good in THIS IS 40!!!!! I want to see her in a role that actually requires something of her. Spent the whole movie thinking this, so I probably missed lots of other elements. Nonetheless, the actors behind the turtles were all strong (great to see them actually letting Pete Ploszek PLAY the part this team rather than handing the voice over last time), and I think the movie was admittedly better than the last one. Not sure what happened to Stephen Amell's performance though - felt really disjointed in a way that felt like editing mistakes (considering he's so consistent on Arrow…).

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of Shadows" was a movie reglar , although new characters emerged , the history improved slightly , the action scenes were very little sharp , the special effects feel a little out of place, but the protagonists were nothing more , and nothing less than the ninja turtles, no doubt.

A film with an inappropriate beginning, disappointing end and mediocre interpretations, this film cannot be the favorite of everyone, except, of course, some of the TMNT series. And mixed with the nice jokes and exiting moments, this is not a really bad movie, anyway.

I personally really enjoyed this film and it is much better than its predecessor. Even though I enjoyed parts of the first movie, this one is definitely better. The CGI is fairly well done, and the characters are super entertaining to watch and explore. The brotherhood between the four turtles is done masterfully here, when in the first movie it was absolutely not. The action sequences are really fun and despite the physics not making much sense, that's not what the focus is on here. I personally liked Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, he had a couple of cool action scenes and while by the end he felt a bit wasted, still I am hoping that we see him more in the sequel (if there is one). The main villain is iconic and totally worked for the movie and the finale fight at the end. About the end though, it felt more of the same from the last film and that took me out of it for a second but all in all I definitely enjoyed it and the additions of Bebop and Rocksteady was a genius idea that made the film even more fun.

i love the ninja turtles, this movie is awsome, when krang fight the turtles and bepop and rockstade run through the cars to get casey jones, i hope part 3 baxter stockman is going to be a fly and make robot mousers

This film is a mess, a complete insult to the fans to the point the film seems to be making fun of the source material in a frustrating and obnoxious way. The humour seems to be for mainly 5 year olds which makes the inappropriate sexual use of Megan fox super creepy. Avoid and pick up the idw comics

قسمت دوم لاک پشت های نینجا نکات مثبت و منفی زیادی دارد اما شاید بتوان بزرگترین نکته ی مثبت آن را نگاهی طولانی تر به برادری این چهار برادر دوست داشتنی دانست، فیلم ازهمان صحنه ی اول به ما وعده میدهد که اینبار دوربین مایکل بی (Michael Bay) روی این رابطه ی عمیق برادری بیشتر از قسمت اول زوم خواهد کرد، اگرچه مایکل بی کارگردانی نیست که بتواند آن رابطه ی عمیق را روی پرده ی نقره ای نمایش بدهد و میخواهد این رابطه ی برادری را تنها در تنش مایکی و راف با دانتلو و لئو به تصویر بکشد ولی در کل رابطه ای نه چندان بی نقص ولی خوب را به تماشاگر نشان میدهد! صد البته در قسمت دوم لاک پشت های نینجا ما چیزی نزدیک به دو یا سه سکانس استاد این چهار برادر یعنی "استاد اسپلینتر" را میبینیم و شخصیت وی تا آخرین لحظه ی فیلم مانند حفره ای در فیلمنامه احساس میشود! این فیلم اولین تجربه ی بازیگر نقش اول سریال "پیکان" (Arrow) یعنی "استیفن آمل" (Stephen Amell) بعد از سال 2013 در سینما است و نقش آفرینی استیفن آمل را میتوان یکی از نقات قوت قسمت دوم دانست، اگرچه بازی استیفن در طول فیلم نوساناتی را طی میکند ولی در کل میتوان از آن به عنوان یک نقش آفرینی خوب یاد کرد! البته ریشه ی (origin) شخصیت "کیسی جونز" (Casey Jones) در این فیلم با تغییراتی همراه بوده و ما کیسی را به عنوان یک مامور پلیس که سعی دارد خودش را برای ارتقاء درجه به مافوقش ثابت کند میبینیم! که این به خودی خود ضعف بزرگی در داستان است و کاملا آن کیسی جونزی که ما به عنوان یک پارتیزان (vigilante) خشن و عصبی سراغ داریم را در ذهنمان لگد مال میکند! حتی مایکل بی دیدن آن رفاقت همیشگی بین کیسی و رافائل را هم از طرفداران کمیک های TMNT دریغ میکند و نشان میدهد که به راستی میتوان او را کنار کارگردان هایی مانند "زک اسنایدر" (Zack Snyder) قرار داد، یعنی همان نوع کارگردان هایی که فقط اقتباس یک فیلم از کمیک را مستلزم یک چاشنی میداند!..."صحنه های خفن!!!". مگر میشود حرفی از نکات منفی زد و سراغ سرکار خانم "مگان فاکس" (Megan Fox) نرفت؟! زنی که در تمام فیلم هایی که تا بحال در هالیوود داشته یک نقطه ضعف به حساب آمده است! مگان فاکس در قسمت دوم لاک پشت های نینجا عملاً دیگر بازیگری نمیکند و با تکیه بر اندام و چهره ی خود میخواهد تا توجه تماشگر را تصاحب کند! مایکل بی در ابتدای فیلم صحنه ای با حضور مگان فاکس را تحویل بیننده میدهد که بیننده به شک می افتد آیا این فیلم از کمیک های TMNT اقتباس شده یا کمیک های Sin city استاد فرانک میلر (Frank Miller). در کل اگر خانم فاکس دنیای هالیوود را رها کند و به حرفه هایی مانند مدلینگ بپردازد لطف بزرگی در حق خودش و صنعت سینما کرده است!!! فیلم در تنوع شخصیت های منفی فوق العاده شلخته عمل کرده است و بهتر است از دو شخصیت کلاسیک کمیک های لاک پشت ها شروع کنم...یعنی، راک استدی و بی باپ(rocksteady and bebop) ! بر خلاف تصور خیلی از کسانی که هنوز فیلم را ندیده اند باید بگویم ورژنی که ما از راک استدی و بی باپ میبینیم خیلی هم تحفه ای نیست! ورژن انسانی راک استدی و بی باپ به اندازه ای غیر قابل تحمل هستند که به شخصه ممکن بود در سکانس فرار این دو از ون حمل زندانیان بالا بیاورم! اما زمانی که ما ورژن جهش یافته ی راک استدی و بی باپ را میبینیم کمی روی این زخم شعله ور از آه و اندوه خراب شدن خاطراتمان با کمیک های TMNT آب سرد ریخته میشود! در کل میتوان ورود راک استدی و بی باپ به داستان را اتفاقی خوب تلقی کرد و لا اقل مایکل بی را در این یک مورد سرزنش نکرد! شخصیت "دکتر بکستر استاکمن" (baxter stickman) در فیلم با نوسان شخصیتی معرفی میشود، یعنی در صحنه های ابتدایی ما او را به عنوان یک دکتر پر جذبه و درجه یک میبینیم! چیزی که صد درصد مخالف شخصیت واقعی بکستر استاکمن است و ما در اواسط فیلم با همان بکستر استاکمن نابغه اما منزوی روبرو میشویم و نقش آفرینی بازیگر این نقش یعنی "تایلر پری" (Tyler Perry) هم در نقش بکستر استاکمن بی نقص و قابل قبول است و حضور بکستر استاکمن در فیلم را به عنوان نکته ای مثبت نشان میدهد! درست برعکس حضور شریدر! شریدری که مایکل بی از قسمت قبل به گند کشیدنش را شروع کرد در این قسمت هم حضوری کوتاه دارد و بعد از اینکه زمان فرارش از زندان به dimension-x منتقل میشود در عرض یک دقیقه با شخصیت "کرنگ" (Kang) تفاوق میکند تا سیاره زمین را نابود کند و بار دیگر نشان میدهد که فیلم های مایکل بی در به گند کشیدن منبع اقتباسشان حرف اول را میزنند! (البته عده ای معتقند که اسم مادر شریدر و کرنگ "مارتا" بوده و این به خودی خود دلیل محکمی برای هم پیمان شدن فوق سریعشان است! و این نکته کماکان در دست بررسی است!) فکر کنم باید پرونده ی شخصیت های منفی این فیلم را با شخصیت کرنگ ببندیم! شخصیت کرنگ در داستان فقط به عنوان عنصر تهدید کننده ی زمین استفاده شده است و هدف و یا Backup Story خاصی درباره ی کرنگ داستان بیان نمیشود!. صحنه های اکشن فیلم به رسم فیلم های دیگر مایکل بی از شلوغی بی موردی برخوردار اند و تنها دو یا سه صحنه ی اکشن واقعا مهیج در فیلم وجود دارد که البته خالی از ایراد هم نیستند! به نظر من این شلوغی بیش از حد بخاطر اندازه ی غول آسایی است که مایکل بی در این دو فیلمش به کالبد لاک پشت ها بخشیده است، زیرا در تمام صحنه های لاک پشت ها مانند یک هالک (Hulk) نمایش داده میشوند و در صحنه های جنگ آنها با بی باپ و راک استدی این سوال پیش می آید که: "آیا این نره غول ها در داستان های TMNT بوده اند که اینگونه روی پرده ی نقره ای اقتباس شده اند؟!" در آخر باید بگویم قسمت دوم لاکپشت های نینجا تلاش مذبوهانه ی مایکل بی برای استفاده از درآمد غیر منتظره ی قسمت قبل است تا اثری "خفن" به تماشاگران تحویل بدهد! اما بیننده ها دیگر با اندام فوق العاده ی مگان فاکس یا صحنه های اکشن شلوغ خام نمی شوند!!!

It's silly, childish, has some plot holes, very predictable and the script is meh. That being said the visuals are nice on the turtles and the CGI effects could have gone worse in my opinion. It got one or two giggles out of me. If you love TMNT you probably watched it already, but if you are looking for a major blockbuster don't get your hopes up. It's not great but it's not terrible.

Clear increase The first film was Turtles is still inconsequential and lame. Everything was flat and barren. Here the story finally got even more space and the effects were reduced. Bay finally gets the hang of it.

If you weren't really that in love with the first one then you'll fall in love with this dumb and fun sequel. I really liked how they FINALLY included the classic Tmnt villains like Behop, Rock steady and Krang. For a Micheal Bay produced film, the characters designs are ACTUALLY done right, good job Bay, you finally learned to make them resemble their cartoon counterparts! The actors that played/voiced the characters did a great job. They knew how to be both threatening and funny. There's more focus on the turtles, which is awesome cause it's their movie and it should focus on them the most. In the first movie, we had to wait for 20 minutes before we could see them but in the sequel, they appear right away. The action in the film was awesome like it was in the first film, especially the final battle between the turtles and Krang. The effects and effort they put into this is great. The Tmnt theme song was in the movie which was freakin awesome and I really liked how the movie had a few tributes and heart to the original tmnt cartoon. I didn't like how Shredder had a lack of action scenes. I mean he does appear more than he did in the first film but he doesn't have any action scenes at all, not even one. By the way, Brian Tee did a great job playing Shredder. Also, the part where April O'Neil was changing into school girl clothes was completely pointless. It could of been cut from the movie. I thought that the movie was a bit predictable like when the turtles are divided. Yeah, we all know they're going to get back together when Krang comes to earth. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows is one of those movies where it stayed true to the source material.

The Turtles are back in this sequel and they have brought some familiar faces. Beebop and Rocksteady finally get their chance on the big screen. The movie features other notable characters like Splinter, April, Casey Jones, Krang and Shredder. **** film doesn't quite manage to juggle all of them effectively. Die-hard turtle fans may love the fanservice but some of the characters feel incredibly under-developed or completely off the mark entirely. Splinter, Casey Jones and even Shredder himself feel like they are afterthoughts. The brief moments they have on screen are alright; but they don't really add much either. Casey Jones and April feel as though they are there solely to advance the plot. Megan Fox's performance of April is one that feels phoned in. In fact the portrayal of April feels like its trying to leverage her sex appeal especially in one of the opening scenes. Shredder spends a decent portion of the movie with his helmet off and never even has a confrontation with the turtles which is a let down. Krang is perhaps one of the standouts in the film. Reading other reviews I thought Krang wouldn't even have as much screentime as he has even if it is still rather limited. The plot itself is fairly simple and nothing spectacular. The main focus is on the Turtles themselves and their relationship with one another. I think this is the thing I enjoyed the most about the movie. I liked that they explored the human elements that tie the turtles together. Their bond as brothers. The big theme in the film is "People are afraid of what they don't understand." Its a theme that has been done before and in fact has been used in other recent films like BvS. Its disappointing that we don't see the turtles doing more ninja stuff than what we get. In the end the movie is an enjoyable popcorn flick if you aren't expecting a deep narrative plot. Like Michael Bay's Transformers, TMNT Out of the Shadows is a big dumb fun action flick. Mileage will vary depending on personal taste, however I can say that I had fun with it despite its flaws.

I seriously hope they give the TMNT film franchise rights to james cameron soon... while this is a decent improvement to the first film, its a micheal bay movie so of course theres many things wrong with it.

I have to admit, I was actually slightly entertained by this movie. Firstly story wise it was one-layered and generic, I had no attachment to it whatsoever. Action was ok, some cool scenes overall. The jokes were occasionally good but most of the time cringe worthy. The new characters were quite enjoyable, specifically Stephen Amell as Casey Jones. Everything else was ‘meh’, I wouldn’t watch it a second time any time soon. Overall slightly better than the first one but that’s not saying much.

Despite what critics said of the FIRST, I quite liked it. While this tries to carry on in the same vein, it feels like a two hour special of the original cartoon. TEEENAAAGE MUUUTAAANT NI...zzzz, zzzz,zzzz... TUUURTLES!

Michael Bay's lovefest slash voyeurism sessions watching megan fix flop around has got to end!!!! someone please stop this man before he destroys the treasured childhood memories of an entire generation!!! Utterly lazy and pathetically blatantly attempt to cash in our nostalgia. Laird and Eastman's genius created characters that are virtually impossible to not entertain. They are simply just 'the coolest'. Which does not give hollywood the right to ride on their coat tails with a mediocre script. Bay please stick to Victoria Secret shoots and filming megan outside her pilates classes!

The movie is not really that bad, but far from good. The plot is not very focus resulting in lack of care towards the story or characters. The action scenes are not really that good. overall I don't recommend it.

The wife and I really enjoyed this movie. It's silly, funny and action packed. I would definitely watch it if you enjoyed the previous movie. I actually think I liked this move more than the first. The only negative is that Megan Fox is in it... she can't act for her life. But hey, I can live with that.

Humourous and action-packed in this all-new turtle adventure.However,a cliched and boring storytelling with forgettable villains made this movie an avoidable one.

Out of the Shadows showed no progresses since the first flopped movie. Noisy, childish and really boring. The turtles are grumpy and pretentious. The hockey guy is a rather unnecessary character in the plot. Shredder also has a weak presence. The audiences would appreciate more if the turtles stayed in the shadows.

The Ninja Turtles dominated my middle school years with the comics, cartoon series, and first two movies. When they were rebooted to the big screen a few years back I was not a fan. It was hard for me to get used to the new design of the Turtles themselves, and the story left a lot to be desired. If it was given a re-write by a true fan they might have had something. This time around you can tell director Dave Green is a true fan and it pays off! The Breakdown: Story: 2.5/5 Strengths: Taking a lot of elements from the first cartoon series! Lot’s of nods and jokes to fans. Weaknesses: Clunky dialog. I know this is a family movie about Ninja Turtles and aliens but this could have been handled better. Characters: 2.5/5 Strengths: Leonardo is now voiced by the motion capture actor, Pete Ploszek vs Johnny Knoxville. Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly) are true to their original characters and are a blast every time they are on screen. All the Turtles feel much truer to their characters then they did in the last film. Weaknesses: Casey Jones (Stephen Amell) has some good moments of entertainment, but feel he could have been a lot stronger if they stayed closer to the original character. Karai (Brittany Ishibashi) has nothing to do for most of the movie except stand at Shedder’s side. Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) felt like forced humor and was more distracting. Hopefully if they bring him back as the Fly it might be a better fit. Can we please get someone else to play April O’Neal instead of Megan Fox? Visuals: 4/5 Strengths: All the animated characters felt they fit into the environment. Weaknesses: Some of the Technodrome shots in the climax stand out as un-polished animation. Bottom Line: 3/5 If you are a Ninja Turtle fan you’ll have a great time! We finally get Bebop and Rocksteady and they are fantastic! Unlike the first outing the Turtles voices and personalities are handled well and they all have their moments to shine. With the exception of Shedder just ignore the human cast and let the mutants and aliens run the show! No post credit scene. You are free to leave the theater.

This is already a better film than the first film, with the introductions of Bebop, Rocksteady, Kraang and Casey Jones. Ths is a film made by turtle fans, for turtle fans. Definitely check it out.

This film knows exactly what it is, cheesy ridiculous fun and I appreciated that. I was not a big fan of the first one, but I am a fan of the TMNT cartoon so much of this spoke to the kid in me. No question there are many problems here, but the silly tone and the fact that this film seemed to just get the Turtles kept me satisfied. B-

The sequel does what I thought the 2014 installment failed to do, capture the spirit of what made the TMNT cartoon so much fun to watch. It has its share of fun action scenes, some good laughs and the turtles are the best they've been since the 1990s. But with that being said, it's still not a good movie, in fact it's a pretty bad movie. However, I won't lie and say I wasn't entertained throughout the majority of the film and I left with a smile on my face.
