Similar to "Key No. 4", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" also has a profound gene for producing and selling copies. White Sand Dunes' production ideas in the field of sci-fi and action films seem to have completely reduced its works to a personal concubine selling copies. Fortunately, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has boarded the big boat of selling copies of self-reflection in recent years. Although the general direction of this boat will not change, it has also found that the three-axes that bombard it indiscriminately are no longer invincible. Although "Out of the Shadows" two years later still has the same formula and taste, it has obviously absorbed some opinions and made some improvements.
As for what it will look like after the change, it is a matter of opinion.
The sequel is still written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Namek, and the director's seat is no longer Jonathan, the director of "Wrath of the Gods" and "Battle of Los Angeles" Liebesman, replaced by the lesser-known Dave Green. Similar to the previous work, "Shadow Out" has super-high entertainment and a big story that doesn't need to use your mind at all: basically "Transformers 2" + "The Amazing Spider-Man". The addition of more characters makes the whole story more lively and mindless - full of loopholes, it is better to leave the energy behind. It is true that this set of fast food blockbusters is still nutritious, but at a certain moment, the possibility of deep excavation was revealed, but it was not discussed at all in the subsequent plot, which is really disappointing.
If it wasn't entertaining, it was better than its predecessor and a comic book blockbuster, reminding us how flattering the popcorn style of selling copies is, and no matter how entertaining it is, it can't hide the barrenness of the story and characters.
In terms of new roles, sugar brother Stephen Amell is rarely cute and foolish. Although he doesn't have Kathy Jones's iconic shawl and long hair, he has a good grasp of the rhythm in comedy performances. It is a small screen rushing to the big screen. a steady step. Tyler Perry has not made good use of his identity and positioning after ending his famous black comedy directorship. For example, the role of soy sauce in this film is a waste. Shredder who showed his face - Brian Tai - might as well not show his face. He was confused and helpless from beginning to end and didn't know what to do, making Wu Jingxuan, the new spokesperson for the stereotype of Hollywood Asian women who played with him, look awkward. Compared with these new characters, the old characters seem reasonable and law-abiding. The four turtles are further running in, dealing with various teamwork and trust issues. It is worth mentioning that the newly added beef head and pig noodles is the biggest highlight of the film. There is only one scene where the CG effect is a bit off-track, but overall, both the quality of special effects and the charm of the characters kill Shi Lai who was beaten with a sap. De and Tentacle Lange--looks less disgusting and less boring than expected.
Lula Carvalho, the cinematographer of this film, is still running in with mainstream Hollywood movies. Compared with the new version of "Robocop" and its predecessor, "Out of the Shadows" still has many problems. The action scenes are monotonous and cluttered, but Overall a better performance. In terms of soundtrack, Steve Jablonski, who sold copies of the royal family in recent years, took over from Brian Taylor, the royal family of the Marvel Department. The effect of this substitution was not well reflected-whether it was the previous work or the new work, there was a lack of TV animation. Such a catchy theme song.
2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles looked like it was going to be another clunky, goofy action movie affected by copy sales, but Out of the Shadows made some significant improvements. Although the script still lacks character foreshadowing and plot connection, it also pays more attention to the character development of the 4 turtles. On the whole, "Shadow Out" can still bring a pleasant audition experience - but the biggest problem is how to make this popular IP continue to be high-energy in attracting audiences. Despite the efforts of the producers to make the film more interesting, it is really difficult to find out what the decisive factor is.
Like the Transformers franchise, the two franchises that sell copies are as juvenile and silly as live-action movies, but that doesn't stop it from looking interesting. The humorous jokes of "Shadows" are clearly meant to cater to younger audiences, and adults, if not for nostalgia, would probably yawn at this stale script. 4 The innate sense of belonging and identity anxiety of the tortoise originally had the potential to deeply excavate the character in this work, but it was only reduced to two lines, and finally became the footnote of the climax drama that can't wait to unfold.
There's no question that Shadows is more objective than its predecessor in almost every way, and it tries hard to steer the series in the right direction. Although Megan Fox doesn't reveal much about the story, but if you happen to want to spend two hours enjoying the mindless pleasure and the iconic sex of Bang Bei, Best Choice Ever.
