You know what, pretty decent! Its not exactly aimed towards adults so with that in mind, pretty decent!

In the end they didn't come out of the shadows.

The first film was as big an abomination as the turtles themselves. This is little better. They should have stayed in the shadows to be honest. A couple of decent action scenes and a better sense of characterisation does not save the movie. It all climaxes in a terrible CGI heavy battle scene that is better played on an Xbox than watched on screen. Oh, and I kept expecting Stephen Amell to don his Arrow costume but this time he is SOMETHING else, he is SOMEONE else!

It's not bad. It's not good. All I can come up with is its too much. Everything was just too much.

I thought it was better than the first one. There was more of a story eventhough the movie still wasn't perfect. Shredder has very little of the scars he had in the first movie. I mean look at the picture of Brian Tee here and that's how he looked as Shredder with I think a very small scar on his face. Steve Amell is decent as Casey Jones but the movie made him a cop who just wants to prove himself. I would have preferred if Jones looked less like Amell walked straight off the set of Arrow. Maybe make him just a little more scruffy looking. Bebop and Rocksteady felt like they came straight out of the tv show though. So that was a plus. The Kraang was done decently but with very little backstory. Kraang just wants to take over Earth and that's it. Beats the weaker villain plot of the first film I guess. Splinter is under-used and his character probably would have been stronger if he was once human like in the show. Karai being his daughter was raised by Shredder was good stuff in the newer show. Without that Splinter, Shredder and Karai have nothing too engaging going on with them. I thought it was a big improvement over the first. My 12 yr old niece thought it was terrible though and she's a fan of the newer show. So maybe you will choose her opinion over mine lol. I however grew up with the 80's show and was a big fan of the 1990 movie. Out of the Shadows is the best since the 1990 film I think.
