Review of TMNT (2007) by Gregg T — 04 Nov 2010
Why Why WHY are their so many STOOPID writers! WTF!
There was no reason this movie had to suck. All it needed was better writing. Examples: 3000yrs ago some dude lets 13 monsters escape. Those monsters have supposedly been lose and causing the world trouble ever since then.
And how does this fit in the TMNT world? In order for that idea to work everyone should know of these monsters, they've been running around causing trouble for 3000 years. They were there in 1900bc, 1000bc, 0bc, 1200ad, 1941, 1975. That idea just doesn't work. Either you have to re-write all of history and have everyone in the world know of the 13 monsters, magic, curses, etc. OR you have to ask the viewer to somehow believe elephant sizes alien looking monsters have been roaming the earth for the last 3000 years, causing all kinds of trouble and yet no one has heard of them. Hello? Does any one see the problem here.
That's just one example although probably the biggest since the taints all the rest of the movie.
Other examples, catching the last monster in minutes during an emergency having no idea where it could be. Having monsters come out of the portal always directly at Splinter so he has no trouble kicking them back in.
Put a little frikken thought into the logic. I might sound geeky, but it's often the difference between crap like Star Wars Eps 1-3 an eps 4-6. When the setup makes sense, when motivations make sense, when character's actions make sense in the context of the movie there's a much higher chance of making something great.
