Do you like "TMNT: Out of the Shadows"? - Page 4

It was fine. It wasn't that good of a movie, but I enjoyed it.

I loved the 80's-ness of it, how most of the characters were ripped straight out of the Fred Wolf cartoon. Bebop and Rocksteady were perfect, as was Krang.

Shredder seemed like an afterthought, didn't really do much. Baxter was a lame character who's only defining trait seemed to be "big nerdy dude who laughs a lot", and Casey was just horrible all around.

However, the Turtles were done well this time around. They had a lot of screentime and showed some great personality throughout the film.

Overall, a 7/10. Good, but not great.

As a grumpy guy in his early 30s this was set up for my demographic to hate it but I thought it was a lot of fun for a popcorn flick. Lots of fan service and some good interactions. Mikey saying "we're not monsters" with tears in his eyes touched me as someone who grew up with these characters. I've given the movie plenty of leeway and I understand people not digging it but personally I put all preconceived notions aside and had a blast

I just saw it and holy crap was this movie bad. I can't believe how disappointing the movie was.

I am honestly shocked how many people actually enjoyed the movie..... But I think that speaks more about myself and how I have grown or retracted as a fan of TMNT. The story of the Comics current and past have just set such a high bench mark that it has more than likely caused myself to set high standards for these movies.....

This one was better than the first one i thought and had some decent action and 80's cartoon feel of it even with Bebop and Rocksteady finally on film.
