you can't say an opinion likethat these days. it'll violate the safe spaces of people who hate negative things being said about movies. trust me these people exist ;o).

(Now, I do like that the TV show versions are just in the classic basics of the belts and wraps, but for the movie, I think the more detailed clothing worked.

The Nick cartoon distinguished them enough to tell them apart. In these films, the junk that they wear make them look too busy and did not compliment their designs. They were typecasted.

But there were no "classic" Turtle fight scenes. I just said that they just tackle and shoulder charge their foes. No martial arts used against them. The foot being made into a terrorist group also gives them less of an advantage against the turtles. They're not a threat to them whereas in the 1990 film, they got the upperhand on Raph and the rest of them afterwards.

Not sure I agree, but fair enough.

As far as fighting goes, what about Turtles Vs. Shredder on the rooftop?

As far as the Foot goes, aren't they usually as easy or hard to beat as the plot demands?

A boring snooze-fest where the Turtles have to avoid flying eletro-magical-magnetic blades, and a lot of flashy "dancing" involved.

and shredder/turtles that are not only so badly designed, but so badly fought that it's hard to tell what happens at times IIRC.

A problem with most modern fast paced action films BTW.

They are probably all CGI bythat point too, so it's hardly live action anymore.


I really hope in the next reboot, Nick does it right.

Rubber suits. REAL Shredder costumes. CGI Turtle faces. give it a more real feel than badly done CGI can't replicate.
