Because of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants", I looked back at the 2007 version of "Teenage Ninja Turtles", although the former is not good-looking and the latter is not good-looking.
This is an advantage (of course, but also a disadvantage) of my movie watching. After watching a movie, I will search for more related movies based on a clue in the movie. Sometimes it's because of the director, sometimes it's because of an actor. I have formed a movie-watching series. The disadvantage of this movie-watching habit is that it often fails to keep up with the trend and is easy to go wrong. All over the world are discussing a certain hot movie, but I am proud of myself on the other road. But the advantage is that with the accumulation of time, there is true meaning outside the tide, and the understanding of the movie is often deeper. However, another shortcoming of this habit of watching movies is that sometimes I know that a certain movie is a bad movie, but in order to complete my movie watching chain, I also choose to finish watching it. As a result, when I was stuck in a bad movie, it was miserable.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is such a movie, when I watched it 15 minutes before, I just turned it off. Then think about it, in line with the principle of beneficial to open the book, open it and read it again. The reason why it is not good is because this is a U15 movie, and people over 16 don’t need to watch it. The low-child design of the story is simply an extended version of the TV series, and it doesn't mean much.
In fact, one of the reasons why the film attracted me at the beginning was that the protagonist dubbed "Captain America" Chris Evans and Zhang Ziyi. Looking at it now, this lineup is still very strong. In addition to Evans and Zhang Ziyi, the other starring is Sara Michel Gellar. In 2007, when "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" came out, Gellar just relied on two films. "The American Version of The Grudge" became famous. And today's Chris Evans was not popular enough at the time, and he was still the handsome guy in the old version of "Fantastic Four." At that time, Zhang Ziyi had just experienced Waterloo consecutively. Both "The Banquet" and "Memoirs of a Geisha" had become duds, and the appearance of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" further dragged her into the mud flat. After that, the part of Meng Xiaodong in "Mei Lanfang" did not completely save her. It was not until "The Great Master" that she turned around, and emotionally gained Wang Feng who wanted to make headlines. However, these are all things to do.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was released in 2007, and "Teenage Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" was released in 2014. The time difference is 7 years, but in terms of story clues, the former belongs to the sequel of the latter, and it is next to it. kind. Therefore, if someone likes "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" and can't wait for the sequel for a while, they can also find "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to relieve their greed and talk about comfort.
In other words, "Teenage Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" can be regarded as a restart work, focusing on the origin of the names of the four little turtles, how they became ninjas and city protectors, and then how they defeated the cruel Slade. "Age of Variations" revealed this mystery, telling that when the female journalist Abel O’Neill was a little girl, because she was interested in art, she distinguished several outstanding figures of the Renaissance for her pet turtle. Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael Sansi, Bonarotti Michelangelo, Donatello Einstein, the top three are even more famous "Three Renaissance Masters", and Donatello Einstein is a sculptor a little higher than theirs. Some people mistakenly think that the master of physicists because of the name Einstein is actually a misunderstanding. Four small tortoises, plus a pet mouse, due to an outsider’s genetic test, triggered a fight and caused the four tortoises and mice to fall into the sewer. In the sewer, the genes of the tortoise and the mouse were transformed and changed. Become a highly intelligent animal. Rats became their masters because of their age and knowledge. The experience in the sewer gradually made them become the protectors of the city. Once you become a hero, you will inevitably face greater challenges, so the monster-like Slade appears. This guy is equipped with a good martial arts, and is simply a god of war. He has become the biggest of the four ninja turtles. Enemy. Combining martial arts with wisdom and fighting, evil can overcome righteousness, and of course the tortoise defeated the god of war in the end. This is the story told in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants".
And "Teenage Ninja Turtles" tells the story of the four tortoises after they defeated Slade, the dilemma they face immediately is the trouble of growth. Among them, Leonardo da Vinci went to the field for an internship for a while, and among the remaining three friends, Raphael could not hold back, acted alone, became a lone night ranger, working in the city The role of the guardian. After Leo came back, because of the dispute, the four friends were faced with a stunned situation. At the same time, the nine-star astronomical phenomenon that appears once in 3000 is about to appear. In the last 3000 years, a king prayed in the vortex of nine stars for immortality. As a result, he did his wish and became immortal, but his servants were cursed and turned into stone. , And also converted 13 monsters from outer space in this prayer. Now, the front line of Jiuxing is here again. The former king has now become a powerful entrepreneur. He first used spells to turn the stone statues of his men into movable half-humans, and began to capture the 13 monsters. . As a result, monsters and stone legions have become new challenges for the little turtles. However, the original meaning of the entrepreneur (that is, the immortal king) is not to dominate the world, but that he has lived for 3,000 years and finally gets tired of living. He wants to use the opportunity to restore himself to normal, and at the same time relieve his former servants. The curse, and teleported the monsters back to their original world again. Therefore, there are two clues, one is the troubles of the turtles growing up, and the other is the relaxation of the war between the king and the monster. It seems that there is not much relationship between them, and they must be entangled in the end.
Well, the above is a brief memorization of the plot of the story, and there is no comment. For myself, retelling the plot is to take advantage of the freshness of the memory and quickly write it down, otherwise it will fade away in a few days and it will be completely forgotten. The reason why I wrote film reviews for several years was to remind myself not to forget all the films I have watched. I don't have to read it a second time, so I wrote the article at the beginning to record the plot. However, in the process of gradual writing, a little bit of evolution, more and more like a film review.
However, this article should be back to the beginning. Not only did I remember the story of "Teenage Ninja Turtles", but also the plot of "Teenage Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" by the way. Amitabha! Thanks for your hard work!
