FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

bowmanblue I was the original eighties kid who grew up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja (or 'Hero' as it was here in the UK) Turtles cartoon. Then the inevitable live action film was released in 1990 and, despite how bad it really was, I loved it. I stress again - I was a kid. 'Out of the Shadows' is the second instalment of the modern generation of Turtles films and I remember the outcry from us fanboys when the first one was released. Okay, so we had a point about the possibility of the turtles being evolved from aliens, but, overall, it was just how it wasn't representative of what we remembered. And we collectively hated it.Yeah, it was no masterpiece and there were definitely things in it I'd like to have seen, but didn't. But it wasn't terrible. And, bearing that in mind, I decided to watch its follow-up. And, unbelievably, I'm actually quite glad I did. No, I didn't love it - it wasn't really the Turtles that I remembered from my childhood, but suddenly I could see kids today absolutely loving it. In twenty or thirty years' time I can see them arguing with their own children about how whatever new 'update' to the franchise doesn't compare to Megan Fox's portrayal of April O'Neil. And they'll be right. And so will their kids.I could bang on about how there was too much CGI, or that the Turtles themselves looked hideous and scary compared to their loveable cartoon incarnations. Plus the film felt like just another addition to Michael Bay's ever-growing list of blockbusters with more explosions than narrative structure. Then there were the complete gaps in logic where you have to suspend your disbelief in order to get past the fact that, in this post 9/11 world, it's quite feasible to break into a New York police station as long as you have a baseball cap and a toolbox (and I guess looking like Megan Fox helps). Yes, it's fair to say that 'Out of the Shadows' is ripe for ripping apart. And yet it was actually still quite fun.I do hate the overuse of computer effects, but, if you're making a live action story about six foot turtles interacting with humans, what else are you supposed to do? Maybe it was because the cartoon was just so, er, cartoonish, that I enjoyed seeing a mutant pig and rhino - almost literally - butting heads with our pizza-loving heroes, plus there was Krang. And, if you don't know he's a kind of pink living brain who lives in the stomach of a robot in another dimension. He was a true joy to watch. My major criticism of him was that he wasn't in it for long enough and had to share stage with (the more obvious baddie) Shredder, who - again - had very little time to develop his character and only popped up here and there to look moody and evil.After watching the first (recent - 2014) incarnation of the turtles, I can only really remember an end battle on a rooftop. Whereas with 'Out of the Shadows' I can actually recall quite a lot of detail regarding the plot. Okay, so there wasn't much of a plot. Maybe I should state that I can remember quite a lot about the action sequences and pretty visuals, plus the banter between the four turtles was amusing enough to keep me entertained. And this is pure entertainment. Don't expect anything else. Just appreciate that boys today will probably love this film in the same way we loved the cartoon back in the late eighties (and we didn't even have Megan Fox at the helm!). I may even watch this one again one day. And it's definitely better than any of the recent Michael Bay 'Transformers' movies!

lintinmybellybutton Say what you want about Michael bay ruining our 80s childhoods, he nailed it with this true to form nostalgia packed turtles movie. It's about as prefect as a ninja turtles movie can be. Enjoy

Ayal Oren The 1st film in this new reboot was one of the worst train wreck of a movie I've seen in a long time. I ranked it 6 but it was bordering on 5, and all of these were mostly for the technical aspects of the movie. The plot didn't deserve more than 2. So sometimes script writers can learn from their own mistakes. The same couple responsible for the previous train wreck got promoted into writers/executive producers, and showed they can do it better. They took out the horrible pompousness, they went back to the source material and made this version way funnier, with the same anarchistic humor that was there all through the cartoon series. They even got a decent couple to play Bebop and Rocksteady Stephen Farrelly and Gary Anthony Williams, and they also brought in Stephen Amell, who does a decent rendition of Casey Jones, with more character depth than Casey ever had before.Don't take it the wrong way, it's still a silly story, but this one is the right kind of silly. It's funny, it's professionally done, and even the few pseudo serious moments about the difficulties of the turtles to perform as a team, are too few to damage the overall effect. This one is a 7 but it's a borderline 8, and the improvement is a real surprise that deserves credit for its own sake.

krazealeingamer looks like the turtles were on drugs and buffed up on steraroids they way they were "turned into"ninja turtles is BS the original 3 was the best and didn't look buffif your a true TMNT fan from the 90s don't watch iti tryed to watch it online for FREE and gave up after if came out on DVD went straight to NETFLIX INSTANT VIEW thats just sad!
