Like "Transformers", this movie is one of the two movies I am most looking forward to this year. Some people may say that I am unpromising and tasteless, or they may say that I am naive, but what does that matter? The slogan is the same: a movie worthy of the anticipation of old and new fans of the Turtles. And I am a member of the old turtle fans, huh, finally I can have a senior qualification!

It has been more than 20 years since the birth of the image of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1983. In 2007, the CG version of the turtles once again returned to those of us who were once deeply fascinated by it, and set foot on the movie theater. screen. As an enduring cartoon character, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has accompanied two generations of people through a happy childhood. Many people born in the 1970s and 1980s still remember the lyrics of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, invincible; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, cut through thorns..." in the first version of the animation. All of them are children about our age (actually, I am really still a child *^_^*Y), when they saw the teacher of the turtles, the mouse called a karate master, almost everyone was excited. Call out his name: Sprint. Can you experience that kind of happiness? In an instant, the joys that the turtles brought to our childhood all came back, and no one had forgotten them. What just makes me wonder is, where did Teacher Sprint get such beautiful clothes? He doesn't look like a mouse, he's a handsome guy!

The whole story is only 85 minutes long. It is not a condensed version of previous stories, nor is it a blind continuation. There are stories of family, friendship, commitment, and betrayal, which are compact and not procrastinating, vivid and full. At the beginning of the story, it is explained that a famous king thousands of years ago, in order to seek immortality, paid the price of turning all his family and subordinates into stones except him. For thousands of years, he created glory but enjoyed loneliness. Now, he has established a powerful chaebol group, and concentrates on collecting mysterious cultural relics and statues from all over the world. What kind of ambition does he have?

Since the villain Slater was defeated by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, New York City seems to have returned to its former serenity. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of this underground escort team, Mr. Sprint (Makao) takes the most solid of the four turtles, Daphne. Qi was sent to South Africa to learn ninjutsu. Without the bad guys doing evil, the turtles don't seem to be of much use. After Da Vinci left, the three brothers lived a boring life: Michelangelo made money by making a profit at the birthday party by dressing up as a clown in the shape of a turtle Living expenses; the inventor Einstein hid in the underground world as a technician; when the tortoises no longer exerted their magical powers, a "Batman"-style night man appeared in New York City to maintain law and order. In fact, he is the most righteous among the four tortoises. Strong Raphael.

The tortoises who are busy with trivial life are getting more and more unfamiliar, and the proud Raphael has always been depressed about Da Vinci's departure. After Vinci returned to the team, he disagreed with him, and after his identity as Nightcrawler was revealed, he was dissatisfied with him in a showdown, and the brothers fought a lot. ....where did these stone warriors come from? Why did they take Da Vinci away? What will happen to Da Vinci? What happened to the four brothers in the end? I won't write any of these, but if you're interested, you must check it out!

I remember that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that were played on TV had cute round cartoon characters. They lived in the sewers and ate pizzas that were completely unconceptual to Chinese children at that time. Fighting, walking above and below New York City. They punish evil and promote good, and fight against the evil and evil forces in the city. He is a hero in the eyes of children, and his cute image has a good impression of the sticky, slippery, and dry little creatures in reality overnight. In 2007, the image of the tortoise presented by the CG technique was the first time that the image of the tortoise was presented in a three-dimensional and realistic manner, but the image gave me a feeling that I could touch. The real feeling is a little tactile, like the moment when I suddenly touch the cold and smooth skin of a snake, I feel a little panic and I don't know what to do. To be honest, I still think they were much cuter in the previous cartoons.

However, I can understand the intention of the designer in this arrangement. Those, including me, of course, the former Turtle fans have already grown up, their moods have changed and their lives have changed. The most important thing is that there is no need to go through animation. The straightforward and simple connotation of the film is used to excavate the true meaning of life. To put it more cruelly, many people no longer believe in these simple and simple little beauties. In the setting of the character image and the deliberation and arrangement of the storyline, the movie has added some negative emotions and emotions that have not appeared in the series of cartoons before. I think it is not only to strengthen the authenticity of the story, but also to blur The boundary between the virtual elements of cartoons and real life is more important in the face of these former Turtle fans, and the strugglers in today's society face up to some emotions and phenomena that are clear in their hearts. Look at yourself with a heart that will laugh, be moved and be happy, maybe from this point of view, you will feel that this CG animation "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is really good!
