I watched some TV animations when I was young. I remember that the content was very old-fashioned. It was nothing more than a few righteous people who were constantly fighting against a sinful force hidden behind the city. The story of destroying it. If there is something special about the story, it should be the setting of the heroic characters-four turtles and a mouse are transformed into human figures and live in the sewers of New York. These ninjutsu masters with stunts gave themselves the name of Renaissance artists, and as long as the moment of the final confrontation is not reached, whether it is a hero or a villain, it seems that they are always fighting unscathed. The bright colors, endless gags, and the funny personalities of the two heroes make the whole animation very light and lively, full of American humor, which not only promotes justice, but also does not make people feel bloody, can be It is said to be an animation suitable for younger audiences.
After so many years, I finally see the movie version. I can't help but say that it is very exciting. After all, this animation is still full of nostalgia and memories, but whether it is the comments of the media or the discussions between friends, it makes people feel The level of this animation is not worth looking forward to. After hesitating again and again, I looked it up, hoping to get some surprises.
At first glance, it feels a little weird.
The story begins where the TV version ends, and after that, a deification of the city is written starting from a legend three thousand years ago - the general who fought for immortality, after opening the door of time and space, was instead cursed by immortality for three thousand years. Lai has been looking for a chance to escape his curse, and his fate intersects with the modern turtles, finally finding peace after all the hardships.
At the beginning of the film, it is a huge ancient war scene, and the invincible generals fight the final battle with the enemy. The scene is very grand, yes, but it lacks tension. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a computer game scene. Regardless of character settings, screen colors or visual effects, there is a feeling of deja vu. In today's city, the perspective of some of the fight scenes and the way the action progresses feel like you're playing a role-playing game.
From a technical point of view, I have to admit that the animation has undergone a leap from the previous thin two-dimensional animation to the exquisite three-dimensional effect. , it has become a long story that is far from the original using only the original character settings. The film isn't inheriting anything, it's just using the original's influence to win at the box office.
Although most of the animated films have simplified plots, the plot of this film is a bit rough. The way of narration is flat and straightforward, the characters' personalities are thin, and the rhythm of the film is too balanced. After watching many scenes that should be exciting, there is no feeling at all, which is really disappointing to me. Focusing only on technology and ignoring the script has to be said to be a sad regression.
Thinking back to those four tortoises in the past, they were full of energy all day long, active in the sewers and the dark places of the city, fighting unremittingly against the forces of evil... After many years of absence, these four tortoises now have a much fitter image, but they are completely Lost their fascinating magic, are they also old?
