Looking at the superhero films that have been adapted (or comically modified) by animation in the past few years, I personally think that the most successful one is Nolan's The Dark Knight of Batman. This film has subverted our perception of superhero films, and of course it is inevitable It makes the viewers have insurmountable standards in their hearts, but after all, masterpieces are rare, and it is impossible to use such standards to measure the pros and cons of all superhero movies. If you look at it from such an objective point of view, I think "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows" is still worth watching.
The story
of the second part of the story is inherited from the previous one. The beautiful reporter sacrificed her color and successfully learned from a tech giant that he was about to help Schneider (that is, the villain of the first part) to escape, so he united the four gods... ...Ah no, the tortoise was blocked on the way to transfer. Who would have thought that the technology giant took a mysterious halo to take Schneider to outer space and met Lange, the big boss of the story in this episode. Lange instigated Schneider to search for the three major time-space artifact components for him to open the time-space tunnel to transmit the technology fortress to rule the earth (this setting seems to be similar to the conspiracy of Thor's younger brother). Schneider recruited two of the same prisoner to transform it into a bull's head and a horse's face with the purple liquid given by Lange (same as the animation I watched when I was a child, very kind and woody). Because the reverse synthesis of the purple liquid can turn the turtle into a real person, the turtle decides to steal the purple liquid under police custody. The masked hockey man who happened to be escorting the prison van is determined to investigate Schneider due to dereliction of duty, and is protecting the beautiful reporter from stealing it. In the process of Ziye, he met the four great tortoises. The tortoises failed again in the task of preventing the bullhead and horse from obtaining the components of the time-space machine, which made Schneider assembled the machine to trigger the reloading of the technological fortress. How the fate of the earth is entirely in the hands of these magic sticks... um god turtle......
Although the script was written by the original author of the comic, one point was deducted due to lack of creativity; Schneider happened to be transmitted to Grand for no reason, and one point was deducted; finally, the technology fortress, which had been transmitted for most of the day, was carried by a remote control plane every minute. The ball was pulled out of bounds, but Grand couldn't do anything, it was too outrageous, and a point was deducted. One point will be deducted if there is no human intervention during the assembly process of the Tech Fortress.
So the story gives 6 points.
Acting
In this episode, the role that originally belonged to Megan Fox was successfully handed over to Schneider. The whole process was paralyzed, and Sora had a burly and proud figure. Only when he didn't speak, he had a bit of a villain's aura. People can't hate him when he opens his mouth; in the face of the bully, he has no power to defend himself except staring at him. So in the end, it was frozen by Grand, which can only make people applaud: I can finally make lunch -- 4 points. Megan Fox's acting skills have not improved much, but this time the role has played a relatively large role and has been on the cusp of the story, so he can get 6.5 points; the role of Falcon is still relatively flattering, but the screenwriter did not place much room for development, It could have been written very funny, but to be honest, the jokes are all commonplace, 6.5 points. This time, the role of the painting bottle is none other than the mouse teacher. Except for the chicken soup, it has no role in promoting the plot. Since its appearance is so low in history, even the vase is lifted up; It is quite satisfactory, slightly exaggerated; the character characteristics of the Turtle Tech Purple are the least prominent in the whole film, purely functional characters. The comprehensive score of these characters is barely 6 points; the Turtle Leaders Blue and Dali Red and Hip Hop Orange have very good personalities. The highlight is Hip Hop Orange, who is naughty and picks things up, and has a real desire to be a human being, giving it 7.5 points. The Hockey Masked Man personally thinks that he is actually a very attractive character. The hero's fighting ability to save the United States is amazing, and the task allocation is heavy. It's just that the screenwriter has been neutralizing it and didn't want it to take up the limelight of the protagonist, so I gave it 8 points.
Therefore, the overall score is 6.4 points.
picture
This time, the story is told very smoothly, the pictures are cut more naturally, and every time there is a two-line narrative, the transition is orderly, and there is no sense of abruptness (8). The scene scheduling in some places is a bit incoherent, such as the part where Megan Fox steals the purple liquid, it feels a bit abrupt, and it is not clear where the character has been staying, so he broke in like that (6.5). The highlight is the plane transfer section, the picture is very dynamic, the 3D effect is very good, the description of the vigorous red jumping plane is very immersive and impactful, and the whole part is also very happy, exaggerated and not distorted (9). But in the final climax, the self-assembly process of the technology fortress and the response of the civilians were not very organically combined, but they only took care of each other at the beginning, and were basically abandoned later (7). Of course, it is understandable that all the visuals are given to the Turtles, but the double-line impact of the Beauty Falcon hockey trio and the God-Ghost Quad is still lacking, making the tension not enough (6). It is worth mentioning that the facial expression details of the tortoise are very well done, and it is very realistic under imax (8.5).
Overall Rating: 7.5.
Dramatic Conflict
Dramatic conflict is about the performance of human nature, the reason for the existence of the story, and the beating pulse of the plot. The conflicts in this episode are mainly divided into the following groups: the master and apprentice of the turtles and the villain Schneider (including the bull-headed horse-faced) + Grand (the contest between justice and evil, the solution is to fight wits and courage, 7); masked hockey + beauty Reporter and female police superintendent (the conflict between the individual and the system, mediated by Falcon, 7); the conflict between the turtle and the human (the conflict between aliens and the masses, resolved by breaking out of the shadows, 6) Within the four-member group of the Turtles (the conflict caused by differences in personality and values should have been resolved by Master Mouse, but in this film, the strength of this resolution is as soft as silk, which is inexplicable, 5). Why do I only give 5 points for the last conflict? Let me tell you the reason: the beginning of the story highlights Hip Hop Orange's yearning for the human world. He peeks into the world from under the manhole cover, and his longing eyes make people feel distressed. This vision can be said to be the most moving part, but they There is a dogma that ninjas need to keep: Stealth. Here is a foreshadowing. Afterwards, the setting that Zi Ye could return to the human form made the team divided into two factions, the pro and the opposition. It can be said that the conflict has escalated, and it is a foreshadowing. It is precisely because of the disunity of ideas that their task has repeatedly failed. Master Mouse's warning sounded again and again, to unite as one, but it sounded like that, but unfortunately it was only said to Leader Lan. At the end, the leader Lan shattered their last hope of returning to the human form, and I was immediately dumbfounded: Has he asked the other team members about their wishes? Does it mean that leaders have the right to control the desires of others? Even if that desire is wrong, others should have the right to choose, right? It's very strange that the previous foreshadowings are just like this, as if the time bomb has reached a point of misfire. Originally, I was looking forward to a moving plot where the gods and ghosts understand and tolerate each other and turn battles into jade and silk, but nothing happened. What about the lessons from previous failures? Are they all bullshit? It feels really awkward and disappointing. Furthermore, if I shoot the conflict between the turtles and humans, I will arrange a sincere apology for the superintendent who called the turtles a monster, so that I will be much more comfortable.
Overall Rating: 6.3
The sound synthesis processing is still very realistic. The roar of the junk armed car that pulls the wind is very impressive. The sound of Schneider's arm knife is also very dazzling. As for the crash of the plane, etc., it is perfect. When the sound is not very clear, it would be better if there is that kind of metal collision. As for music, I basically didn't feel the existence of music when I watched the movie, so I can only say that it is quite satisfactory, and it is not overwhelming, so I give it 7 points.
Subjective composite score: 6.6 points. Only on behalf of personal views.
