The turtle we all knew in those years

This is a familiar and unfamiliar name. Perhaps it is the same for many 8090 generation. I am not a turtle fan myself. The memory of these four humanoid turtles with different personalities only survives in childhood. Among the TV animations and the Xiaobawang game console, I saw them again in the movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Age" after more than ten years. Regardless of the special effects of the plot, at least it gives people a nostalgic joy.


As an adaptation of a movie aimed at juvenile animation, it is impossible to demand the depth of the plot. Even as the plot of a new version of a live-action movie, the scope of activities of the four turtles is still limited to New York, the United States in the animation. The plot The changes are not big, just faithful to the original animation, and director Jonathan Liebesman, who has gone through the fantasy of "Wrath of the Gods" and the sci-fi baptism of "Battle of Los Angeles", may be better than many directors in terms of plot innovation. There is a lack of talent on the coffee, but playing special effects according to the gourd painting and scooping is also familiar. The plot structure of the film is one-stop, without the slightest feeling of muddy water, but the reversal and tension of the plot have not exceeded the audience's cognitive common sense. The old stalk of the Hollywood hero movie model is like Uncle Mai's value-for-money package. The taste that has never changed does indeed meet the basic needs of the public.


The joy in the special effects of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" is undoubtedly more real than the conventional plot. The ever-changing CG special effects endow the turtles with unparalleled agility in the plane animation, and will never be indistinguishable from the movie because of the blindness of the human face. Clear who is who, named after four well-known artists, Leonardo with double knives, Raphael with iron forks, Donatello with long sticks and Michelangelo with nunchucks, the expressions of the characters are plump and natural It is absolutely in line with their calm or funny characters, and in the villain shaping, the plot may be a little weak, but the mechanical armor of the big villain Slade is definitely not the simple costume in the original animation. It can be compared, of course, the special effects are not only used on the characters, the senses of Paramount's effect of gold-colored signs are shocking everything as much as possible.



Now when we see "Proposition: XXXX", we know that "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" or just the opening prologue. Of course, the movie is complete, leaving no unsolved suspense, and no easter eggs. Those The turtles that we all know in 2008, I am glad that my childhood was not only joyous, but an era of animation with a hundred flowers blooming.
