Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who is it?

I was expecting to come to the cinema for a little innocent nostalgia. After all, these four little tortoises are one of the memories shared by people in the 1980s. I never thought that the nostalgia was not found and it was full of depression.
When I first watched the film, the magnetic male voice narration sounded in an attempt to quickly bring the audience into the story. This annoying narration brought us to the four little turtles who had been separated and had different temperaments. , The scene hurriedly passed by, before they had time to recognize the straps on the heads of the turtles. The audience is not all children, they need to step into the development of the plot as the story is explained!
The visual scene of the film is outstanding, but the story structure has repeatedly incited the director's slap. In the TV series, our familiar bad guy "Slater" and the ridiculously silly cow-horse partner and his party members around this buddy are gone, replaced by an epic picture of 3000 years ago, siege. The king of the land has an immortal body. After 3000 years, he becomes the new enemy of the turtles. It seems that there is a earth-shattering battle to be fought, but it is nothing more than selling dog meat. Sora has a hint of pseudo-epic helplessness. Heavy. The original antagonism between good and evil becomes ambiguous in the film. The magic weapon and selling point of the American cultural medley plus the simple ninjutsu fighting shell that were once talked about no longer exist, and it has become a battle between the turtles and the monsters. Of chaos.
The unsuccessful characters create a boring plot design
The story that was deliberately laid out is a good start. The suspenseful scene in the American jungle has made Leonardo a good preparation for the tortoise boss. In contrast, with the exception of Raphael, who has been antagonizing him, Master Sprint, Michelangelo, and Donatello have not succeeded in shaping them, and they have clearly turned from a group of protagonists to supporting roles. . What is even more incredible is that in the film, the turtles will only rush forward on their own initiative, completely losing their previous extraordinary wisdom, judgment and analysis capabilities. In the original cartoon, the role of Sprint's military adviser and the little tortoises worked together to perform their duties and there was no clue to be found.
The first half of the film is used to illustrate the brotherly infighting between Leonardo and Raphael. The imitation of the scene of the battle in the rain against "The Matrix" should have portrayed brotherhood and difficult brotherhood. In the emotional drama, Raphael easily defeated the boss Leonardo who had practiced in the jungle for many years. He did not see the fruits of Leonardo's practice for many years? If it is the humility of the boss, we can't find where the forbearance is?
Let's take a look at the real supporting actors. Our beautiful female journalist O’Neill has now transformed into the look of the Tomb Raider Laura, specifically looking for treasures for the rich and becoming a new generation of ninja girls no longer needs the protection of the turtles, even her boyfriend Kathy has also evolved into the turtle The team assists a backup member of Justice. Although his cool look is just a plagiarism of the image of "The Punisher"; after 3000 years, King Winster reminds me of Mr. Superman in "The Incredibles". I originally thought He will be the incarnation of a new demon. He never thought he was a repentant who wanted to be good and repent of his mistakes 3000 years ago. He summoned his former subordinates not to rule the earth and conquer the universe, but to atone for his own faults. The great act is really dumbfounding. I would rather the director give birth to a new demon. Let's take a look at the four stone generals under Winster's command. Not only are they similar in shape to the racial representatives in the famous online game "World of Warcraft", they are not even different in their fighting actions. The shape of the 13 monsters also has a familiar feeling. The strange thing is that these 13 monsters did not seem to cause trouble for 3000 years and waited for Winster's four stone generals to capture them, and the stone generals faced 13 monsters. The quick resolution of the battle is also astonishing. I can't figure out why the turtles can't win with so much effort. The melee before the last nine-star renju can be evenly divided with General Shi, and I can't help but feel the sharp increase in the skill of the supernatural turtles.
The enthusiastic audience waited for the final battle scene to appear. The background music of the gang fights between the turtles and the "horn gang" ninjas always made me mistakenly think it was Jay Chou's "Nunchakus". What a dynamic scene. But as soon as the screen turned around, the turtles came to the stone generals. The exciting fights that were originally expected were dazzled by the one-on-one PK lens conversion, emphasizing that the turtles of the team no longer exist. Just as the fight was on the rise, the thirteenth beast brought back by General Shi was knocked back into the different dimension space, oh god! This rude and simple handling of the orgasm can't help but make people very surprised. Too talented. The director is so good at controlling the cost of the film. He sighed and left us with the suspense of the sequel through the female leader of the horned ninja, our old friend Slater and his stupid minotaur. Will appear in the next episode.

The highlight is not pretty
. I didn’t read the English version. I don’t know what Zhang Ziyi’s voice is like. However, in the theater, the well-rounded Mandarin has replaced American English, and we can hear a few familiar and detailed buzzwords in recent years: such as "you are too talented" and "turtle in a vest". A little bit of jokes can still make us so happy.
Technically, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can be said to have reached a certain high level of CG animation. It can be seen that the director’s enthusiasm for the visual effects of the film is evident. At least four brave and fearless turtles have been technically resurrected by the creator, Hong Kong Yima, and the F4 turtles look cooler than before. The CG animation effect also perfectly portrays the decadence and gloomy and bleak colors of New York City, allowing us to see the real scene of the post-industrial city. It can be said that a lot of thought has been spent on the rendering of static images. Although the scene of fighting in the rain is imitated, the technical treatment is also considered well-intentioned, which has become the climax of the film.

Under the Hollywood business model, "Teenage Ninja Turtles" is really difficult for us to find the shadow of the past. Expect to be disappointed. We just want to get back a little childhood fun from the film, but wasted a good night by the extensive fighting scenes and the empty and boring plot. This kind of film is still recommended to children under 13 to watch, at least this kind of film is for them In terms of being full of cartoons, because they didn't know what the F4 was like before.
