OOTS on it's own merits? (or Lack therof)
Yeah, the first movie stinks, and so did this one!

Because why? Why should I afford people who got PAID to produce the garbage they produced the first go around any kind of mulligan? "Oh sorry we totally got the FIRST one wrong even though we swore up and down before it came out it was awesome and you'd love it, but THIS time we're definitely gonna blow you away!" Nearly all the same people who worked on the first one, made this one. They do not and will not get do-overs. |

If you want to dismiss previous established canon and pretend this isn't the second movie, sure, that can be your cute little head-canon. But that still doesn't change that the PDOotS is a follow-up sequel to the first PD movie.

To answer your question, you do not need to see the last movie to understand this one.

Once bitten...
The work of the director, sure. He shouldn't have to be saddled with the crap that Liebesman did. But that's about it. As for other big factors... After last time, the writers have something to prove in terms of better effort and care of it if they hope to earn any ounce of respect back. Not expecting perfection, no film has that, but a better effort for the main characters needs to be obvious. Even if the tone of the film isn't everyone's cup of tea. But if that's what they went with, at least do well for the Turtles in the process. And Bay needs to prove that he stayed out of the way more. (Not expecting that to happen. ) |

I just can't except we went from the disjointed ending of the last film, to completely different looking characters, major story changes, and plot elements being ignored. It just seems thing are too incompatible between the two movies for them to be in the same universe.

And even if we swallow all that, there's still the amazing vanishing Sacks and Sacks Inc, Karai's magical mutation into a different appearance with no ooze, Baxter having always been a shredder minion,and several other silly plot points that change between the two movies. I'm not buying the idea these two flicks are in the same universe. By the way, I'm not defending either movie. I think they're both smelly balls of 'so bad it's good' b-movie cheese, nowhere on Par with the 1990 film. I look forward to the day we get a non-bay non Platinum dunes TMNT. I just think 2 is slightly better than one, and can stand on it's own a bit.

Yeah the turtles and April were on a spiral colliding into building which broke their fall. Also they needed that moment for Raph to give a big speech about how he was sorry that he was always so hard on the turtles even though it was never present in the film.

Which had slow-motion falling, but the Turtles spoke normally.
Guess super-speed speech is another super power we can chalk up the PD Turtles have as well as being bullet proof and super strong. |

Kind of agree, though personally I'd have taken it further and just made it out to be post-Shredder years entirely, with older Turtles since they don't look like a bunch of kids anyhow.
Save themselves some grief by aiming for safer waters where they might have gotten away with just making up new stories. Instead, no... they decided to strap a fresh steak to their collective ass and jump into shark infested shallow waters and proceed to screw with the origin and other important things. |
