I have been reading the comments for the past two days, but my intention is not to belittle the Guardians of the Galaxy. Just as a movie viewer, starting from a personal point of view, including self-subjective emotions and certain objective factors, I prefer Ninja Turtles. I am not a professional film critic. I will not evaluate this film from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, production skills, narrative techniques, screenwriting thinking, and Rotten Tomatoes ratings. I just start from the impression of "I think this film is good-looking". Here are my views on the four tortoises that have influenced me since childhood.
Four points do not change. It also respects the "not worth four stars" view.

Malaysia premiere on August 07, 2014 .
First of all, I must express my deep contempt for those fools who have just seen Megan Fox’s words and saw a few seconds of trailer before the film is released. Regardless of the final quality of the movie, a bad review beforehand is a very mentally retarded behavior.

Ninja Turtles born from 1983 to today has gone through 31 years, Leonardo knives, forks Raphael, Michelangelo nunchaku, Donatello long sticks, four The little tortoise that swishes flying around New York has accompanied a whole generation of people through the blood-boiled teenage years. Today, I really go to the cinema to look back on my childhood with admiration and longing. After so many springs and autumns, I saw Little Tortoise and Teacher Sprint again and I was so touched that my tears were about to come down. It’s great that my childhood is not an oxygen-breathing sheep (T_T)/~~
Let me talk about the overall movie. Feelings: The main line is clear, the plot is fast, the character is outstanding, the CG special effects are much higher than last week's Guardians of the Galaxy, the atmosphere is so hot that there is no urine in the whole process, the BGM is praised, the tragedy and comedy are strong, but the plot is old However, the comics and movies all express understanding. The Japanese soy sauce female character is too soy sauce, the plot is a bit tight, the four little turtles have some dislocations, and there are too many ads, but they are not as prominent as Transformers. In a word, it's really beautiful! ! ! ! !
The overall plot is roughly the story of the little tortoise’s fight against criminals and was noticed by the reporter heroine April and then led to the big BOSS Shredder. Shredder wanted to destroy New York with some kind of poison gas and then used the catalyst in the little tortoise to make a fortune and then was strangled by the heroes. Barabara did not. Too many spoilers. Many people say that the plot of the movie is too old-fashioned. I don't deny this point of view, but similar heroic films seem to be difficult to continue to innovate. It is nothing more than the good guys defeating the bad guys. What else can you expect from such a plot advance?
The highlight of the film is the Paramount special effects that follow Transformers and the character that is so distinctive that you can fully blend into it. In fact, from the credits, you can see how much thought this movie has put on. Michael Bay’s usual gorgeous and streamlined expressions simply stimulate adrenaline, and the explosive pictures and the crying BGM are simply.
Regarding the characters, many people seem to have prejudice against Megan Fox, but they always feel that Megan still has something remarkable in this film. Of course, I didn't think that Megan's performance in Transformers was so bad at first. Based on this initial deviation, I don’t have much to say about this character.
And Sprint, from the perspective of his father, he is loving, and from the perspective of the teacher, he is majestic. The shaping of this character directly connects the plot of the past and the present, simply and rudely explaining the reason why the turtle is a ninja. Of course, Sprint's background in the movie is different from the previous animated version, and I think it is acceptable. Because after all, the movie is an "adaptation" rather than a remake, just as the new Spider-Man relies on a machine to spin silk instead of a body.
And generally thought of the slot, such as why a mouse can pick up a ninjutsu secret book in the sewer, why he can understand this ninjutsu secret book and practiced so well, why can he still teach four blue turtles , These are not problems, there is no way the plot needs to be. Don't worry about why Donatello can build a high-tech network in the sewers, as long as the plot requires a nuclear bomb.
And the tortoises, the majestic Raphael, the chatter of Michelangelo, the tactical guide Leonardo, and the technical nerd Donatello, all have their own distinct personality traits. They heard Mickey's spit in the shadow of the exciting sword and light sword. What a treat. This kind of brotherhood-like combination is even more vivid at the end of the life and death moments, especially when Raphael's confession of truth at the end with I love you is almost teary.
Ninja Turtles have been thirty years old. In their childhood memories, they are the Brotherhood who punishes evil and promotes good kung fu. You can use many words to describe them-justice, funny, cute, united, strong in martial arts, and clumsy. As long as you can see the Renaissance group from thirty years ago in this movie, this movie has been a success. This is a continuation of a series and a continuation of a generation.
