After several reboots in various versions, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" we see now is very different from the story of our childhood. The alien Lange who manipulated the giant robot is gone, and Slade’s subordinates are gone, and Mr. Sprint’s setting has gone through a lot of “man-to-mouse” and “mouse-to-man”. changes. Of course, as long as the four mischievous, pizza-loving turtles are still around, as long as the beautiful reporter O'Neal is still around, it's enough to evoke nostalgia for most people. O'Neal is played by the former otaku goddess Megan Fox. Since she became popular through "Transformers", Megan has not gotten rid of the image of the vase. Although it has not changed much now, it is already one of the few in this film. A famous, box-office attractive actor.
The story will never be the focus of this type of film, so if you watch it for the plot, you can only ask for fish. Perhaps, in the simple and extensive comic-style plot that can't stand up to scrutiny, the action scenes are the only part of this version that can be done well. Although "Ninja Turtles" has nothing to do with "Ninja" in terms of costumes, weapons and martial arts, except for some fur, the martial arts design influenced by "Jingwu Heroes" and "Assault" is still interesting. Yes, if there is any flaw, it is that the image of the turtle that has been captured through motion still lacks a sense of existence. In addition, perhaps in order to make the turtles more personal, the director obviously added street style and hip-hop style, making the four little turtles look as if they were four black guys.
Of course, with regard to the matter of "adaptation", there is no difference between good and bad from the perspective of development. A film about old wine in a new bottle always needs to strike a certain balance between nostalgia and innovation, which will certainly attract new audiences while making old audiences uncomfortable.
