If the TV version of animation can maintain its young style, when it is put on the big screen, you can't just consider the younger audience. "Suitable for all ages" is the criterion for considering the success of an animated film. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" shows little appeal in the plot, and more importantly, it lacks the usual funny methods of animated films. Humor has always been an indispensable element of animated films. Movies such as "Shrek" and "Happy Feet" are very successful because of hilarious jokes, but "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" did not pay attention to this element. Only a few laughs. Perhaps the focus of the film is to focus on the action, and the creation of a real Kung Fu animation work is unknown.
There are so many inconsistencies in the development of the story. Thirteen monsters from different dimensions have been hidden in New York for so many years without making any movement, and then they were caught back by one, which is simply unbelievable. Although the animation production relies on imagination, can it be a little bit of logic, otherwise it seems a little disrespectful to the audience's IQ. There is nothing worthy of taste in the story. It is better to pay more attention to the technical level. The shape of the four little turtles is not much different from the imagination. The appearance is very full, but it is more difficult to distinguish. The color of the blindfold and the weapon come up to distinguish it. In addition, the two female characters are very sexy and seductive, which is unforgettable. As for the characters such as the villain, the stone carving general, and the warcraft, they are all rough and can't see the fineness.
The film is still very careful in the subtleties. You can see the effect of the light and shadow on the turtle, and you can also see the change of the raindrops on the body. This effect is quite similar to the real world and makes people sigh at the development of three-dimensional technology. View it. More importantly, it should be in the action. The Kung Fu display of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the highlight of the film. We can see the various moves of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the fight. It should be said that it is quite in place, but I have seen too many. The audience of Hong Kong action movies is not very cold about such action fights. In fact, in terms of action design, the film could have been bolder. After all, in an animation work, a certain stunt with special effects given to the tortoise should be more eye-catching in terms of visual effects, but the film is here. It is a pity that he is a little bit stiff in terms of his actions, and is flat in his movements.
All failed movies usually make the mistake of putting the cart before the horse, emphasizing technology and ignoring the fundamentals of narrative. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be regarded as an excellent animation work anyway, but the problem script is not sophisticated enough, and the bad plot development is completely attracted. Nobody, let alone a lot of mistakes and omissions. From this point of view, Warner Bros. should learn more from the successful experience of Pixar and DreamWorks, and technological progress should serve the story.
