A stamp that belongs to our childhood anime. A vivid name, just like those memories of our childhood. Let us once again consume long-lost nostalgia.

MV-style fast-moving, no deep story and relatively superficial performance. These elements doom the new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" to be so touching and soul-stirring, so whether the cartoon image can be recreated in real life is the greatest guarantee for the success of the new film. At least from the perspective of the finished product, the film is not suspected of fooling the audience. As a subject that is neither profound nor serious, the superficiality of the work "Ninja Turtles" itself is even worse than "Transformers", which is also adapted from anime works! But equally its popularity is based on its simplicity, straightforwardness, humor and iconoclasticity. In the eyes of the Chinese people, it has been endowed with various derogatory tortoise images, but unexpectedly, it has become an enduring theme because of good ideas, which is full of vitality and surprises in itself. The live-action version of the 2014 version has almost fully brought out the basic elements of the original work. The characters of the four turtles are completely reproduced in the animated version of 2003. The most rare thing is that the fighting effect of this film is exactly the same as that of Hollywood over the years. The most powerful of the anime adaptations! Although the viewing positioning of the young age group makes it impossible for the film to be bloody and violent, it has not used every trick to deceive the increasingly discerning eyes of the audience. Isn't this a classic reproduction of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series? ! Balanced handling of various transitions and transitions of animation elements in live-action works, completely avoiding the potential embarrassment of special film styles! Undoubtedly a successful rebuild!

There are many classics in our memory, and there are many aftertastes. In addition to the value of the work itself, whether it is a classic or not, many factors such as time, space, and external environment have an impact. Therefore, sometimes some successful attributes of works are not always available from the beginning, and it may be possible to stimulate these internal factors to be effective under certain special conditions. Obviously, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of them. Even today, you can't imagine how these originally unbeautiful and weird anime characters achieved so much success at the end of the last century. Similarly, there is no passionate content, human characters are completely marginalized, and "Transformers", in which robots become the protagonist, is also popular all over the world, and it is almost more difficult for a similar work to appear again. Although there are many imitators of the cottage, they can succeed. It is the only one! Times have created legends, and legends have continued their glory in its own way. Because of this, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Transformers" are fortunate to be able to continue the incense today, and still maintain the entertainment of the brand value. For fans who love them or used to love them, they are lucky! Because our memory has not gone far, it has always been by our side. And this happiness has always been simple and straightforward, but after we grew up, we wanted to ask for too much and give too little... When watching the film, I laughed and got excited several times. The mood I felt when watching the animated version in front of the TV, twenty years later, I suddenly understand a truth: it's not that happiness is not simple, it's just that we ask too much!

    The action design is too ugly, it's noisy, it's not smooth enough, the jokes are too cold, and it's embarrassing.

  • Splinter: Like all children, they were drawn to the distractions of popular culture. And I knew, one day they would want to explore the world above.

    [while sweeping, Splinter finds a book on ninjutsu]

    Splinter: And then I found a way. First, I would teach myself the ancient art of ninjutsu. The others followed my lead, accelerating at a wondrous rate. Their gift was also their passion; they lived, breathed and dreamed of martial arts. Then, they were ready.
