To be fair, had he not been shoehorned in and given a proper look and persona Amell would be okay I guess. Fox... I suppose she did better, though it could simply be an illusion based on seeing less of her and her vague emoting. |

I do think Meghan did a better job than last time, but like you said, it may just have been that she's easier to take in small doses. & on a second, digital viewing, I was able to skip the parts that focused on the human cast, which helped a little.

With the exception of Splinter and Leonardo, I do believe all of the cg characters were mo-capped by the same actors providing the voices.
I know the guy who plays Donatello from a bit part he had in Galaxy Quest, and the guy playing Michelangeo plays "Mickey" on the Showtime series Shameless. And I want to say the guy who did the motion capture for Leonardo was on Smallville, but they ultimately went with Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame for his voice. Why? I have absolutely no idea.

Well, Pete Ploszek was able to voice Leo this time. Don't really know all that much about the guy, though in passing - in my search to try to figure how who Leo's voice would be in the second because it took so damn long for anyone to just say - I'd seen he's got some recurring part (as a teacher?) on the Teen Wolf series. (Think it's an Mtv series?)
And a few other single ep appearances for a few shows, as listed on Wikipedia. Don't see Smallville, but that sounds familiar, maybe it was one of the others? Quote:
Freezing him and he just goes away forever and Krang never really being much of a real threat... that ended far too easily. Left me feeling that there just HAS to be another attempt made by Krang and be an actual threat, why would he stop there, and for Shredder to end up with an actual part in it, which will never come... Stupid film people. |

And that'd be a pretty dumb bit of storytelling. "Remember Krang and his Technodrome? Remember how they did absolutely nothing in the last movie, and that was kind of a bummer? Well get ready for it... in Turtles the Movie Part 3, Krang and the Technodrome will return and maybe will do something this time! Guaranteed, but no guarantees!" Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Posing a threat is how they'd keep it fresh and exciting! Give the fans that they want - villains who... do things! Bad things! Like... take two minutes longer to be sent packing! Really the Turtles didn't even have to fight Krang that tiny bit had they only figured out and gotten to the beacon sooner. |

so the movie starred basically bad actors, including madea... a Karai that I think had about 2 minutes of screen time total and no lines.....
And voice actors who are anything butt and have had little to no screen time as bit extras in other projects, it seems. oh, and don't forget the producers and director who cared so little one wanted to make them aliens and have the movie star april oneil... and the other can't even get the characters names right. and people defend this lackluster effort....WHY? |

They make for fine models, but actors? I'm not convinced.

Both of them are terrible actors, and terribly suited for April & Casey. Stephen Amell plays Stephen Amell in every role i've seen him in. Megan just can't act, I'm sorry, she just can't, she's wooden. :/ I would like to see 'real' actors as April & Casey next time around.

Hey, I'm not saying Amell or Fox are God's gift to the Screen Actor's Guild, far from it... all I'm saying is let's take off our fanboy goggles for one minute and realize that Casey Jones and April O'Neil aren't Shakespeare and neither role necessarily requires anything remotely approaching A-list actors or actresses. Technically both Fox and Amell are way more accomplished right now than either Hoag or Koteas were in 1990. If Amell was Amell and Fox was Fox in 1990, TMNT 1990 would have been lucky to grab them.

Nobody's arguing that. The fact that what you're saying is true & they can't even give passable performances in those roles is pretty telling to what caliber of "actor" they are.

That's more indicative of the material. And direction, or lack thereof. If this latest puppet director was even doing any actual directing.

C'mon, man. I'd be the last guy to argue in favor of the film's script. It's terrible stuff. But actors can give their all (or at least do a sufficient job) even with bad material, bad directors, etc. These two just blow, period. When Fox isn't applying the porn star style to her delivery, it's just stale & unconvincing. & Amell is equally flat. Even fantastic directors can't make bad actors good, they just try to mask their weaknesses & give them a lower profile.

only way I would want a third film is if it was a real "Turtles in time" with Savanti Romero with the time sceptor.

Nah. Have never watched Arrow but I know he's greenlit 5 seasons of it. And Jennifer's Body was pretty damn awesome with Fox.

And yet Hoag and Koteas both gave far, far better performances in 1990 than Fox and Amell could pull off in 2016. Almost like they had way more actual talent, regardless of how supposedly not "accomplished" they were!
