Review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016) by Pipec — 04 Jun 2016

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" Opens The Summer Season With Style.

The quartet more fun based on comics - not, they are not "The Fantastic Four" - returns to the big screen after its predecessor "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the year 2014, this time, they mentally prepared in surpassing it in terms of box office and critics, possibly, they will overcome one of the objectives, as regards to the other...

Again, Michael Bay is the producer, giving us action and sense of humor characteristic of his projects, but without the seduction of films like "Transformers". It has got potential, but to be a summer blockbuster needs wit. Dave Green ("Earth to Echo") was sitting in the director's chair, without experience in the genre, but with a great debut.

The sequel includes much more the personalities of the four reptiles - "Mikey," "Leo", "Raph" and "Donnie" - to create an environment equal or at least approximate to its predecessors, especially the soul of the comics of the 1990s.

To be classified as a fantasy or Sci-Fi (Science Fiction) film, the plot must be as distanced as possible of the reality - for obvious reasons - the downside is up to what point the argument becomes stupid or too illogical. The reptiles emerge from shadows in New York to fight against the evil Shredder (Brian Tee). Villain evades death and now travels by America to acquire the three fragments of a technological artifact created by the scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry), with the purpose of obtaining the potion that made possible the mutation of the turtles. Portals, substances purple, mutated animals, fights, and the end of the world make presence in the movie starring by April O'Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and one member more, Stephen Amell - star of "Arrow" of CW - as Casey Jones. The dark side of the story is formed by Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) a wild punk boar with glasses and purple Crest and Rocksteady (Sheamus) a strong rhinoceros. All of them led by Krang (Brad Garrett), a horrible and awesome brain with tentacles that lives inside an eccentric robot, applause for the special effects, especially the effects of this nasty little.

Megan Fox is a little bit of everything here, except reporter. It is remarkable to see how the team takes advantage of having one of the women more beautiful planet on their film - scene in which she has to be near to the mobile device of the scientist - showing great sensuality and delicacy, in which children did not pay attention, but the parents perhaps do. April O'Neil helps in what can to the team, she runs, is camouflaged, shout and fight, a powerful woman.

Shows of its loyalty towards comics, turtles do not explore beyond New York, proving that a big summer blockbuster does not need Europe or Asia to entertain.

Like a great regular movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" offers cheap entertainment but enjoyable, explosions, car chases and any fight that you imagine are the sequel. We are entering the summer season, where watch a film that stand out in its genre is almost impossible, turtles do not bring nothing new to the adventures world, however, with a soda glass and popcorn, the best you can do is watch it.
