PLOT

The turtles face a new challenge when Shredder escapes from custody and joins forces with Baxter Stockman, a mad scientist who plans to use a serum to take over the world. Along for the ride are Bebop and Rocksteady, two dimwitted henchmen who provide plenty of muscle. Luckily, the turtles have their own allies in April O'Neil, Vernon Fenwick and Casey Jones, a hockey-masked vigilante. As the pizza-loving heroes prepare for battle, the notorious Krang also emerges to pose an even greater threat.

CRITICS

Cowabunga, the vigilante demi-gods on a half shell are back, and more inane and irritating than ever. Full review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

This movie steals from the best, though not in a film-drunk Quentin Tarantino sort of way. Full review

Jesse Hassenger
A.V. Club

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is a faithful adaptation of the fan-favorite 1987 animated series - for better and for worse. Full review

Ben Kendrick
Screen Rant

Considerably better than its predecessor, the central four may give it their all but the people behind this franchise sadly don’t seem all that interested in their crime-fighting, pizza-eating heroes. Full review

OVERVIEW

The Ninja turtle franchise was a huge hit as a cartoon but I don't think a movie was needed especially not one which went on for over 2 hours. I had to watch the movie in 2 days because there's no way I'm sitting through 2 hours of turtles complaining about not being accepted by humans.

I mean who do the producers think their viewers are; the kids who enjoyed the show back in their pre-teenage years or the current children who would rather be watching Adventure time or amazing world of gumball 😩😩. After their poor reception from the prequel, nickelodeon went on to make another now including, Casey Jones played by Stephen Amell (that dead guy from arrow that cannot act for shit), Baxter stockman played by Tyler Perry (Madea), the ever sexy Megan fox (oh my god, I'm crushing on a 30 year old woman) and that slime covered pink brain looking thing. Fun fact: Tyler Perry's role was to play a mad scientist but he acted more like a nerd who just got a new calculator and couldn't wait to use it.....TF😒😒.
Can we all agree that Raphael doesn't look like your average teenager 💉💉💊💊 *wink

The movie was not bad though.

Anyway, down to their flaws;

- Mikey (the orange one) always complained about humans not accepting them.....well of course we won't. How the hell do they want to be walking amongst humans, they are freaking animals. Imagine going into a restaurant to eat after a long day at work and then a waiter comes by to serve you and then you look up to see an 8 foot green scaly creature in a tux ready to take your order.

Or being in an enclosed space like an elevator with those SEWER creatures (I'm pretty sure they don't make use of a soap) or if their rat father is in a supermarket, is that going to be a health code violation. People are afraid of the normal sized rats, we are not ready for radiated ones.

- When the bus transporting Shredder was ambushed and Casey Jones got knocked out, why didn't the other 2 fugitives just finish the job by killing him or at least take him hostage so there would be no witnesses😕. Or even when they successfully escaped they could have travelled to another country, did they think that the police wouldn't look for them.

-When the turtles met Krang, (who by the way is a living floating brain) they were fighting his robot body instead of he who is controlling it. If they all targeted the floating brain, it would have been a quick fight.

And what happened to Shredder, is he gone forever or....
