No reason to care for any of the onscreen bunch. It just has nothing about it, no character or charm whatsoever. I have a slight memory of seeing bits of TMNT when I was younger but never intentionally watched it, though have always been interested in viewing a film with them in.
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' bored me, unfortunately. Too many cooks!įlat, generic, CGI-filled.
#TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2014 TORRENT MOVIE#
There are actually five (!) people credited with writing this movie and maybe that is the problem. On the whole, to me, this was a mildly entertaining movie that could have been much better if someone with basic intelligence had been asked to write the script in the first place. The truck ride down a snowy slope was just silly and some of the scenes where actually rather underwhelming for instance. They were perhaps not really bad but not very impressive either. I was about to write that, if you like special effects and do not care for much of the rest, then you will probably like this movie but when I think back even the special effects where often only mildly interesting. They are immature, even for a movie like this, and the jokes are simply unintelligent and mostly not very funny. The turtles themselves, being already pushed back somewhat into the background by Megan Fox desire to be in front of the cameras most of the time, are bland to say the least. Some lab rat that picked up martial arts from a book he found in the sewers! What the f…? That ruined a lot of the movie. Come on, he is supposed to be a skilled martial arts combatant, not some freak in a robotic suit. For instance when the shredder is first introduced and punishes some of his underlings but rather quickly he is reduced to just another “special effect” when they slap this robotic shredder suit onto him. There are a few moments when it looks like it is going to turn interesting. Okay, okay she was actually not too bad in this movie but then it was not to difficult to shine in this movie either. She might be the wet dream of some less discerning teenagers but her acting skills leaves somewhat to be desired. To the extent that you might wonder if this movie is about the turtles or about Megan Fox. It is obvious that Megan Fox’s ego have had a lot of influence on the movie.
There are a lot of special effects in this movie! Why try to rewrite a story that was actually not bad when you cannot be bothered to spend some effort on it? The new story is sloppy and it is rather clear that whoever wrote it got only two directives: Make sure that Megan Fox gets a lot of focus and if you do not know what to write then cram in some special effects. It certainly was not an improvement over the original.
I have to say that this was a rather “meh” experience.
