This is another story of heroic salvation. From Superman, Bats, Spiders, Fantastic Four, to the Four Turtles, Americans have created one after another urban jungle heroes in the movie. They are skilled and invincible, not only maintaining the law and order of the city, but also maintaining the bottom line of morality, and at the same time destroying ambitious plans.

The 07 version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is also such a routine movie. A once glorious group, for some reason, there was a little contradiction, and then gave the evil a chance, and then the group regained its unity, defeated the evil, and saved the world again by the way. Such old-fashioned stories, whether it happened to the tortoise, or the Fantastic Four who suddenly had supernatural powers, were nothing new. After watching a lot of movies like this, you can know the end by looking at the beginning, but the strange thing is that if you can guess the end, you still have to watch it, it seems to be to verify your conclusion.

There are also other factors embellished in this version of the Divine Tortoise. 3000 years of myths and legends, time-traveling, foreign warcrafts, number 13 chewing heads, mustard-like jokes, loyalty and betrayal, confession and self-denial,... these elements make the film full, but they don’t make the film get rid of stereotypes. , Because the practice of using these elements is itself a cliché in American movies.

But the unlucky old king deserves sympathy. He was immortal in a curse, but being immortal may be really boring. In 3000 years, he had enough time to think, so he repented of his war to conquer the world, and wanted to break the curse, but also took the initiative to give up the immortality. . A somewhat sad character, but why would the tortoise's brothers be able to resolve conflicts, and the brothers who had conflicts with the old king would be wiped out? This is the Americanized facial makeup. Positive characters can violate many principles, except that they cannot be without family affection. The perseverance of negative characters can be any good idea, but giving up family affection cannot be tolerated.

Returning to the entertainment "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" still has the function of the movie. It can be watched without being too tired, without obvious flaws, and it can also recall the feelings of teenagers when watching the animation. Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Einstein all admired this kind of imagination at the beginning, using the name of a master, and then seeing these immortal names, the heart of amazement is unabated.
