Kinda envy those who haven't seen it. That's two hours of my life I'll never get back.

I'm having a Bad Movie Night but I had to stop it not even a third of the way in. Now I'm watching Suicide Squad and this weird-ass clip show of a movie is somehow better

I did see it.
For a while I was completely against seeing it, even with morbid curiosity of how much of a mess it would be I was determined not to reward a movie I felt was poorly made. Strangely it tanking at the box office made me change my mind. As if I wasn't making a difference. I was able to catch it at the cinema. |

I did think the movie tried to have more heart and get "back to the roots" than the first PD film.
It honestly felt more like the TMNT than TMNT (2007) did.

If by "roots" you mean Playmates old template for merch, then sure, they certainly tried to emulate that. It's not accurate to call it "roots" though, if it was trying to get back to the roots it wouldn't really take characters and concepts from other adaptations, or at least not highlight them.

Well I don't mean Mirage obviously, but the early hype Fred Wolf / live action movie camaraderie feel.

Haven't seen the first Bay TMNT, haven't seen the second...couldn't bring myself to do it even on free to air.
Life's too short.

Finally got around to watching it. I think it was much better than the first. Definitely more FW oriented but overall it's just more coherent.
My only complaint would be is this Shredder supposed to be the one from the first movie? It can't be but it's funny they make no mention of anyone taking his place. It's just...Shredder is back! I guess if you wanna stretch your suspension of disbelief you could say this new replacement Shredder came around and got beat before the events of OOTS. We just never saw that happen.

What is your issue with Shredder in this one? It's been a while since I saw 2014, but didn't he survive that movie? If so, I'm not sure what the problem is, unless you're referring to the actor switch between movies. But I agree...OotS is better than the 2014 movie...MUCH better in my book. 2014 was a mess from beginning to end. I'd say SotO slightly edges out OotS, simply for nostalgia. Both are about equally as nonsensical and such a departure from the turtles I enjoy. Fine popcorn flick. The 2014 movie set the bar super low for me, so this one was fine as there were absolutely no expectations. Of course, take what I say with a grain. This site tends to hate the 2007 TMNT movie and I thought it was great. It was like a Tales of the TMNT storyarc popped off the pages and onto the screen. And FINALLY we didn't have to fall back on Shredder as the main villain. So refreshing! 1990>2007>SotO>OotS>III=2014 |

*sigh* Bay films... I mean.... cool, well thought out female characters with a purpose? Who does that? Inconceivable! Realistically, she probably shouldn't have survived the snow chase, given the circumstances, so why even bother including her in the second if she has no role to play. I'm still glad for other changes they made that granted some hopes I had for the second and it makes me like this one more, but the rest of the script supporting it is so weak... |

It kinda makes me wonder how OOTS wouldve been if Shredder, Karai and Baxter were removed entirely and it was just Krang on earth commanding Bebop and Rocksteady.

Even though they actually didn't know what movie they were shooting when they shot 2014 (they didn't, they shot 3 versions of it), it's still a fairly harmless if insultingly un-TMNT-like experiment. Quote:

2007, she gets smacked around and knocked out by April ****ing O'Neil. 2014 she does a whole lot of nothing, then "dies" in a truck collision on a mountain. 2016, it sounds like she de-ages 15 years and just does the whole lot of nothing part this time out? Damn. I feel very bad for Minae Noji. Beautiful, beautiful woman and a picture perfect Karai. She was wasted on TMNT 2014.
