Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) by Waleed A — 23 Jun 2018

Going into this movie expecting it to be pretty stupid, I kind of enjoyed a lot of it. and there was good nostalgia from my childhood memories. but as a movie this is pretty awful. you could make fun of soooooo many things. this rating really should be even lower. there were so many times the movie did something that doesn't make sense but were presumably assuming a dumb audience wouldn't notice or care. but it was funny and had some cool scenes and a good musical score. I just wish some of the action was done a little better. the turtle CGI looked bad at times. a bunch of scenes were 100% CGI, even the surroundings, and it sometimes looked like a CGI barf fest of chaos. hard to get invested in an action scene like that. and there were a lot of lame, typical cliches and stealing from other movies. some parts were so bafflingly dumb and unbelievably childish. (2 viewings).

SPOILERS.

They didn't have any good fight scenes. they barely fought bebop and rocksteady. and it was so lame that there was no fight from shredder. he was the main villain the whole movie but then just disappeared. krang also looked and sounded really stupid and awful. and splinter is still ugly.
