Die coole Heldentruppe um Leonardo und seine Brüder Raphael, Michelangelo und Donatello stellt sich im neuen Blockbuster-Abenteuer natürlich wieder dem Kampf gegen das Böse: Erzfeind Shredder (Brian Tee) hetzt den Kultschildkröten seine Kampf-Mutanten Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) und Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly) auf den Panzer. Während sich die Turtles in Topform bringen, um es mit Shredder und seiner neuen Gang aufnehmen zu können, stehen sie plötzlich und ohne Vorwarnung einem viel bösartigeren Gegner gegenüber: dem berühmt-berüchtigten Krang. Doch die vier grünen Helden bekommen Unterstützung von Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), den nur ein Lächeln von April O'Neil (Megan Fox) in die Knie zwingen kann. Mit vereinter Turtlepower mischen die sechs ihre Gegner mächtig auf – mit noch mehr Witz, Coolness und spektakulären Action-Szenen. (Paramount Pictures Germany)

Nummer zwei ist genauso dumm Nummer eins, aber dann ist da Amell (Arrow-Fans werden applaudieren), es gibt die Lichtbogenmaschine mit Krang (ich applaudiere) und das war's dann auch schon wieder, denn Bebop und Rocksteady sind wirklich Bösewichte, die nur in Zeichentrickfilme gehören.

Actually, I don’t know what else I was expecting. It was late at night, the twenty-first of May, and I didn’t want to go to sleep, and this was the only alternative which could possibly keep me awake. Well… For today’s kids, it will probably be an action ride, but I was done with that endless digital. They could have made the film like a cartoon and it would not harm it at all. An exemplary case of how I liked the old cartoon Ninja Turtles but can’t stand the today’s versions. The older I get, the more I feel that new remakes of old fairy tales are getting on my nerves more and more. And I have to add that Megan Fox didn’t save this film at all!

The turtles are just a passable one-off for me. It bothers me that it's too infantile, I would have appreciated a harder R-rating and a darker atmosphere. Megan Fox is still a top-shelf babe, the action is rather mediocre, but at least it's clearly and entertainingly filmed. The film goes by quickly, but the age range is unfortunately around 13-17. Rocksteady and Bepob were properly wacky, which is the film's biggest plus. 65%

Even more retro than we hoped. Krang is overflowing with slime, The Shredder returns, assisted by Doctor Stockman, and Casey Jones also gets a few hits in. Summer 2016 has favored my childhood loves, and after Tarzan, the Turtles also get another chance, returning in an even better form, despite the convoluted plot. They have a car, they have enthusiasm, they have April, and they are still a great source of fun. I'm no longer six, so I have to reluctantly restrain my excitement, but when a new (yet perfectly respectful) version of the most legendary theme song ever started playing during the closing credits, I was on the verge of genuine emotion. If you loved the turtles and wanted to experience that feeling again, you're in the right place with this movie.

Like every proper mega-franchise, Ninja Turtles does not have only one form, but rather a range of variations that are suitable for different target groups. Though a number of people associate the turtles with the children’s television series, there is also the broadest spectrum of spin-offs in the field of comic books that incline toward underground impertinence and utterly adult splatter variants such as the brawny Bodycount. And then there are the feature-film incarnations of Ninja Turtles, which for some reason are condemned to be unhinged bizarro-movies. The trio of nineties live-action cringe-fest features are boldly backed up in this respect by the new flicks from the production company Platinum Dunes. Besides the disturbing CGI design of the turtles, which balances on the edge of the principles of caricature and the uncanny valley, the most terrifying aspect of this film is the incomprehensible harmony between the ethos and aesthetics of the production company’s owner, Michael Bay. The childishness of the CGI/live-action Turtles is not the result of targeting underage viewers, but has the form of the insipid infantility of immature middle-aged men with fat wallets who live in an illusory version of reality woven from men’s lifestyle magazines packed with cookie-cutter models and toys for big boys. Just as the old live-action trilogy represented the essence of the most embarrassing and campiest aspects of the 1990s (including Vanilla Ice), the new films offer up a bizarre example of the most frenzied and stupid elements of the current mainstream. Notably, they do not reach the level of the gluttonous nature of Bay’s own films or his finesse as a craftsman. Thus, unlike Bay’s works, they are not engaging through their silliness, but only try in vain to copy the master’s superficial trademarks. As one watches this mess of rushed animated action sequences interspersed with half-details of magazine-worthy faces and stylised shots of cars, the question of who the filmmakers had in mind as the audience constantly creeps into one’s mind.

Basically like part one + the annoying Tyler Perry. Infantile humor works. Rocky and Bob are good and demented and Krang and Technodrom have undergone a likeable modern update. Fox is still the artificial ham she always was. Jones pissed me off - a casting fail. But the action in Brazil is a childhood dream come true.

The film is chock-full of CGI, but that's about all there is to see. There's a lot of dialogue, but most of it is pointless. The action feels kind of stilted. The whole thing resembles a fancy meal that the chef forgot to season – it’s edible, but you won't enjoy it.

It's quite overstuffed, and there are incredibly great moments that you'll remember for a long time, but there's also a somewhat underwhelming ending, and the character of Krang remains essentially underutilized. Overall, I found the film rather entertaining, but it's a shame that the creators focused more on jokes than on a better story with a solid finale that is not only visually interesting.
