The only time Karai vs April made sense was in the TMNT animated movie since it was explained that she was trained for a few year by Splinter. Other than that, Karai should have straight killed her.
Yeah, in the Nick cartoon at least when they put April against Karai for the first time, April got her butt kicked. And that was with some training, too. In this movie, she should've gotten stabbed or something, no amount of luck could save an untrained person from Karai
Why would the turtles want to be human? Easy, "They want to be where the people are... they want to see, want to see us dancing, strolling around on our...five digit feeeeet... up where we walk, up where we run, up where we stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish they could be... part of our wooooorrrrrlllld." I am so not sorry XD And yes the end credits had the exact same brainwashing effect on me. Even made me wish for a 3rd movie. Really felt like Krang should have been in the 3rd movie instead. Too much too soon. Karai should have been way more formidable and more martial arts needed period. To not see Leo slicing, Raph stabbing, Donnie wacking, and Mikey spinning his nunchaku Bruce Lee style is just sad. BTW I just loved Donnie's Tony Stark type holo-screens and Casy Jones' set up was really nice, starting out as an unappreciated cop constrained from justice by red tape. I dunno why but the way the turtles went into their shells as they went over the waterfall was hilarious. I think it was the "thunk" sounds.
20:08 OH SNAP THERES ME :D My Personal favorites were Bebop and Rocksteady. Their Bromance was Legendary haha Me and my friend kept quoting them when we went out to PIzza Hut after seein the film haha
When the bullets were bouncing off Raph from the first movie, it was shown that they had hit the front part of his shell. However, they could just as easily take a bullet to the head which most likely would have been fatal.
Gmaniac01 I was pretty sure I understood what you meant. You have to keep in mind that the front of turtles are protected as well, not just their backs. "Heroes in a half shell" is kinda misleading. Basically their front is a chest plate. The material is a little thinner and probably a touch softer than the shell on their back, but still sturdy and can take a lot of damage. The movie was very careful to show that the bullets hit that "chest place", and nothing else.
17:24 that's something the 1990 movie did that I really liked. If you pay attention throughout that movie you'll notice that Mikey and Donnie are closer with one another than they are with their other two brothers.
How about that "DEFINITIVE" portrayal of Casey Jones? The, "I WANNA BE A DETECTIVE" Correctional Officer, Casey Jones. Not long haired, vigilante Casey Jones, not even the Arrow version of Casey Jones, but truly, the definitive version, the I WANNA BE A DETECTIVE Casey Jones. (I hope my sarcasm was clear)
+deon williams I don't know who the actor was but it was embarrassing to watch caesy is rough he's tuff he's grungy he has a deeper voice I'm done with Michael bay I had enuff of his crap
+deon williams this is why I'm done lol I won't ever watch another ninja turtles movie unless they use the proper source material a dark violent turtles movie , until then I'll stick with the IDW Comics and watch reruns of the 2003 series
It pisses me off that Shredder and Splinter aren't connected by their Japanese heritage. Like Hamato Yoshi doesn't exist is this universe. And makes me sad.
Bob Holly Nobody said Michael Bay was the director, but even if he was that wouldn't change the fact that you're comment makes no sense. A director isn't the one who writes the script, they direct it. Regardless of all that though, seeing how this IS a Michael Bay PRODUCTION he receives a good chunk of the blame IMO, and rightfully so.
These Turtles have SHELLS AND CHESTS that are bulletproof. A shot to the head could still feasibly end them. And don't forget, IDW April also named the comic Turtles. Correct about Karai. When they first met in 2012 toon, an April with NINJA TRAINING got flattened by Karai.
nuh-uh! Remember there was a scene in the first movie where Raph flexes out his chest and arms and all the bullets in his skin pop out towards the bad guys :)
Andre, they filmed in Brazil cause the first movie had the second best box office around the globe for them. That's why the turtles went there, it's kinda a way to make the movie even more interesting for the Brazilian audience, it's all about money! ;D
09:53 Leonardo and Rafael, of course, get in a fight because... (a) Rafael wants to prove his superiority, (b) Leo mad a decision - any decision - that doesn't match with Rafael's ideals, (c) they've been in the same space together for more than 5 minutes, (d) it's a day of the week than ends with the letter-Y, or (e) all of the above. LOL
I think Tyler Perry must be a viewer of Andres and decided he'd be the best Baxter ever. All I could think while watching his character was that it had to be Andre, lol
Andre, you area great example of what a fanboy should be. You love the property that love with all your heart, but you aren't completely blinded by nostalgia or completely unwilling to except changes and adaptations. props.
I couldn't watch Angry Joe's review. I loved the movie and I could tell Joe was going to trash it all the way through. I really liked your spoiler free review.
yea Megan Fox got sexualized again, but at least they had the decency to make it so that she was sexualizing herself. i actually liked her introduction and the whole flirting up Baxter scene and disguising to get the email part except yeah that slow mo was unnecessary
I don't even want to see many of the movies you talk about, but I always have lots of fun watching your reviews! Thanks for all the smiles you've put on my face, for being so entertaining and awesome!
I didn't mind Shredder getting tossed aside in this movie. He's been in the main villain in 3 TMNT films already and 4 if you include this one. As for you saying Krang was used too much and should have been saved for a 3rd film, my only problem with that would be what IF they saved Krang for a 3rd film but it never got made? Then we'd never see Krang in a live action film. I'm happy he was the main villain in this so just in case a 3rd doesn't get greenlit, at least we still got him in this one
I doubt it. Chances are that the fact that it was a sequel to a Bay-flick would've clipped it's wings long before it got off the ground, regardless of how good the story was.
Well if that leads to Karai becoming the leader of the Footclan for the 1st acts of the 3rd movie, than I am glad they did that. Only way she is going to get any time to shine.
Well, assuming the sequel gets done, this is all basically setting up for a Super Shredder finale. Think about it; in the last film he briefly contemplated self-mutation, and in this one he both experiments on two humans and ends up left alone with Krang in the Technodrome.
Gmaniac01 ------- *Better better is what I mean. More turtle central focus development and more of them interacting with each other like brothers and doing their own unique personalities within their turtle sewer cave. Infact I love whenever Leo talks to Splinter, Mikey bothering Raph here and there, and Donnie discovering new experiments in this movie. Not to mentioned ROCKSTEADY AND BEBOP gotten alot more screen time as well and doing their bumbling duo partnership. Some flaws here and there about the the plot but it didn't take away on how much MORE TURTLES WITHIN THIS MOVIE SO MUCH MORE THAN THE FIRST FILM thankfully. So yep as a moviegoer it is 8/10 for me...... but as a TURTLES FAN....? 10/10 for me. Not better than the 1990 live action first movie.... but way better sequel compared to the original 2 and 3 sequels. :P*
Gmaniac01 ------- *Would you want to wait for another reboot and another turtles movie over this one another time...? Prefer to take and rewatch this anyday over the turtles 2 secret of the ooze and 3 anytime dude. It was better than okay for me and the CGI is definitely better than the first. Again when comparing it to the first... i'd rather watch this movie over and over again thank god. I can't wait any longer for another new turtles movie. Everyone is getting spoiled nowadays and I can see the flaws of it all.... but until then.... THIS IS MY NEW TURTLES LIVE ACTION MOVIE this year. The less of a spoiled person, the better off being satisfied and having fun with this one better. :P*
Gmaniac01 ----- No im saying it out of you saying "It was ok" or the sounding of your words saying "meh". Sounding like you want more improved dude. ------ If you're a turtles fan and just want it to be better than the first, then it is what it is and shouldn't sound like "Ugh I wish it could've been more." kind of opinion. ------ Not assuming you are attacking my point, Im saying that people should be grateful that they listened to the fans from how the first one came out to be "alright" and wish they fixed some stuffs. Just be grateful they did, that's all that matters man. :P
Gmaniac01 ------- You want "boring"?? Try having to watch ALL 3/4 TRANSFORMERS MOVIES in maximum 2-3 HOURS LONG with senseless stupid human characters that are the main stars of the movie and NOT THE ROBOTS themselves about 90% throughout. ---- Ninja turtles 2 felt like the turtles were infact the legit presence within their own damn movie! --------- Not how the transformers came to be with all 3-4 films with senseless action that doesn't help out with a bunch of DEVELOPED NEW CHARACTERS. ----- That to me is the main issue and the main BORING STUPID PROBLEM with all those films put together. Unless you really love the transformers movies and find that they are just "mindless entertainment" and not 100% fanboy about it..... pretty sad to discuss with these words then with somebody like you here lol.
I think the only way I can try to explain the "we're bullet-proof" plot-hole away is by taking note that in the first movie the turtles are only shown to get shot in the chest and shell. So maybe we can assume that because the turtles were standing still when the cops aimed their guns at them, they were afraid to be shot in the head. I know I'm reaching with that, but that's my best attempt to remove that plot-hole from the movie.
Best Things About TMNT 2: Turtles Bebop and Rocksteady Kevin Eastman Cameo Baxter Stockman Shredders Actor Krang Worst Things About TMNT 2: Shredder Casey Jones Krangs Screen Time April Splinters Screen Time No Baxter Fly No Judith Hoag Cameo Will Arnett
Haha HILARIOUS review, killing me with all your zany explanations and one liners LMAO!! my family was so confused during some parts especially with the Kraang and I had to give them a rushed gist of the universe lol! I thought throwing off Shredder the spotlight for the Kraang so quickly without much fight after so much buildup to what he was capable of was a little disheartening but I did like how it was karma from taking advantage of Stockman. I really want to see them expand on the Shredder/Baxter plot line in the third movie if they make one. And I gotta admit, I was REAALLY curious to see that the turtles would turn human instead of Raph throwing the bottle. I also wanted to see more action/plot use of Karai as she is a vital part of the series and Bebop/Rocksteady, too. I blinked and I already had missed Karai's knockout scene bruh. But I agree with you on everything, it was very entertaining, it stuck to its roots more and waaaay better improvement in all aspects. Story needed to be developed to flow better and characters to be fleshed out better but for regular fans, it is very funny and good.
I understand what you were saying about seeing the turtles fight Bebop and Rocksteady at the end, however, the way it plays out closes Casey's story as his primary goal through the movie is to catch them, which he finally does. If someone else stopped them, there would be no need to have Casey.
I loved the fact that they showed more "brotherly love" for this sequel. Kudos to the four turtles for livin' up to the hype that the trailers pitched us, but the villains man. I expected so much from Shredder and Karai. Especially Shredder, they got the dude who played the bad guy from Tokyo Drift and the evil Liu Kang from the MK webisodes. Okay, those two examples weren't all that commendable, but come on man I wanted to see Brian Tee in action.
Splinter was trying to keep the turtles off the streets because he was worried about them facing rejection. Looking at what happened in this film, he was right. He has a softer tone now because he's trying to let them grow up and learn these things on their own.
I feel like they left no time for emotional development. Like the idea of the turtles turning human was some pretty heavy stuff but I feel like it was rushed through to make way for the next action scene. Same with the character introduction it was like Hi Baxter, Bye Baxter, Hi Krang, Bye Krang. RockSteady and Bepbop got the best treatment of all the new characters. Even Casey Jones was sort of Rushed through. And if they were gonna take the mans hair away they could've at least gave him more time. But I don't know maybe I'm just so spoiled by the 2K12 Ninja Turtles that I just expected more.
I just saw it. When Megan O'Neil was changing from blond geek girl to school girl, in the sequence her pants magically disappear once she puts the skirt on. I thought that was kinda funny. I enjoyed the movie, liked the relationship and dynamic between the turtles, that and the action sequences were definitely the strongest points for me. I liked that to be or not to be human subplot and actually wanted to see that explored a little more, but the story was pretty crowded already so I agree that it wasn't that necessary, but it did provide some extra depth to the turtles to be given that opportunity. I honestly thought that when Mikey overheard Leo and Donnie talking about the purple ooze that he was going to (at least try to) test it on himself. Casey was OK, but he didn't feel like Casey, I agree that Krang should've been a third act or sequel tease and wish Shredder had more to do, especially in the end. And I agree that Baxter Stockman has an uncanny resemblance to Andre as far as mannerisms and such goes.
The thing I liked is the little moments with Donnie and Raph like in the beginning with them jumping from building to building and Donnie riding on his back even though Raph said it hurts, then the rest of the movie Donnie's like "Where's Raph". And the whole bulletproof thing maybe they still remembered they were bulletproof and they didn't want the police to find out cause if they did they might find a more horrific way to take them out if they figured that they couldn't shoot them.
1) Andre I love all of your reviews and overall love for this franchise. It makes a super fan, such as myself, giddy to see that someone else out there has the turtle fever. 2) You didn't touch on Casey Jones and his character and how absolutely NOT Casey Jones he felt. No offense to Stephan Amell (because he's hot) but he was not right to play the role. Jones is gritty and gnarly with this deep voice, Amell was clean cut and honestly had a pretty high voice and was overall the wrong person to play him. Casey's back story was also changed to make him seem more clean and boyish which was really not the classic Jones that we all were excited to see. 3) My favorite part of this movie was how great some of the characters were. The turtles, beebop and rocksteady, and stockman gave me chills because they were so great. Out of all of them though I think Stockman was portrayed the best. I've always thought of him as this nerdy and giddy scientist and that was 100% shown in the movie so a big thank you to the makers for not ruining one villian. With that said, I was highly disappointed in Shredder and Karai's portrayal. Karai is my favorite female character and she was put down by darn Megan Fox.... And Shredder was put up to be this big old bad guy when he got his butt whomped on in two seconds by Kranng! That was disappointing. 4) I don't think some character's were necessary in this film, with the plot that was given. I love Kranng and thought that he was good in the movie but I don't think this movie gave him the proper set up. After watching it, I actually would've liked if they played this movie more like a "City at War" kind of way, from the '03 series. This would've given more shredder, more fights with the turtles and beebop and rocksteady, more of Karai, and we could've maybe gotten a better Casey Jones story from it. Sure there would have to be the purple dragons introduced into the mix but they are not nearly as big of a villain as the one and only kranng!! They would be simple to set up and introduce unlike Kranng, who could use a whole other movie to set up instead of introducing like five other characters before his big scene! ~Anyway, there's my rant, I'm a huge fan! You make me laugh and make my turtle senses tingle every time I watch your reviews! I hope that the movie can bring in enough money for another because this movie was A LOT better then that thing that came out in 2014, but who knows. Have a nice day and stay nerdy
I absolutely LOVED it. Yeah it had obvious problems as well as personal (what movie DOES'NT?) but i can honestly say that this is my favorite TMNT movie since the 1990 original. Dave Green did a fantastic job and you can absolutely tell that he is a fan and gets these characters. The turtles were FRONT AND CENTER for this movie from the beginning to the very end, Gary Anthony Williams and Sheamus as Bebop and Rocksteady were freakin' AWESOME and very funny, as close as PERFECT as you could have gotten with them, Brian Tee as Shredder and Brittany Ishibashi as Kairi were solid as well (just wish they had a bit more to do), Tyler Perry was also very good as Baxter, there was actual character development (Raph had a LEGITIMATE reason to be pissed), action scenes were great, Megan Fox was better this time around, Stephen Amell was ok as Casey, and the movie (unlike the 1st part) was actually surprisingly funny. The whole theater was laughing and having a good time throughout the whole movie. My only real negative was Krang. Didn't have a problem with his portrayal, he just felt pretty rushed. All in all it was an ENORMOUS improvement over the 1st part and hopefully if there is a part 3 they get Dave back to direct it.
ANDREEEEE, I can't believe you didn't talk about the BIGGEST problem with this movie and it was Casey Jones. Not the actor, but the character himself was nothing like Casey Jones, his personality, the fact he was a fucking cop 😒 and he is usually much more of a badass than how they portrayed him.
Right what about when he says “GOONGALA” And he barley even had the Casey look in the movie either (he only carried his hockey stick in one scene and had his mask on and that one scene where he was saving April) so it’s basically like he was just some guy.I still like him though
People have already commented that turtles are only bulletproof 'cuz of their shells, but I also think, despite being vigilantes, they respect the law and act by Bushido code, also proving they are not freaks or monsters as depicted by cops. I loved that scene :)
Tyler Perry is the secret to saving these films, Andre. Medea and the Ninja Turtles coming together to fight Shredder, who has entered an abusive relationship with Medea's granddaughter, and an army of Crip Foot Ninjas. It is the movie we deserve.
*To the people who find this movie "boring" or somewhat stupidly bad......* -----Try having to watch ALL 3/4 TRANSFORMERS MOVIES in maximum 2-3 HOURS LONG with senseless stupid human characters that are the main stars of the movie and NOT THE ROBOTS themselves about 90% throughout. ---- Ninja turtles 2 felt like the turtles were infact the legit presence within their own damn movie! --------- Not how the transformers came to be with all 3-4 films with senseless action that doesn't help out with a bunch of DEVELOPED NEW CHARACTERS. ----- That to me is the main issue and the main BORING STUPID PROBLEM with all those films put together.
cyshadowx -------- you mean the 1987 or the 2003 cartoon??...... yea get your freaking facts right dummy xD. Also this movie is an improvement over the first one. Such a failed fan like yourself can't even get the YEAR OF turtles cartoon right lmao. Also each turtles version have their own unique styles to them.... dumb dumb xD
+Seabook Farno and dude I am the number fan I still have the original black and white comic my uncle gave to me when i was around 9 I grew up with the good stuff not that crappy ass cartoon from 1987 the movie was shit the cartoon was shit just like you cya loser I don't give a Damm what you say
The "chicken" part made me light up a bit because it's actually a reference to the first live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film when Raph meets Casey Jones in the park, and it was Raph that called Casey chicken where it is the other way around in this new one, Out of the Shadows. My friends and I enjoyed the movie, by the way, and we watched it in 3D. Although I agree the writing does need a lot of work. I also felt that there wasn't enough emotional scenes, and feels very prompt, probably due to the music score always being so epic-like all the time. If they had the right director, they would be better. Also, I know that there were some older concept ideas that made it into this film (ie. Michael wanting to be more human, Donnie morphing, hi-tech bo, the Foot with guns) were ideas from Laird and Eastman that they wanted in the initial 4th TMNT movie, The Next Mutation (tentative title before the Saban TV series). So I'm glad that some of that made it in. I wonder if there are others out there that are catching on with this because I can't just be the only one.
Kraang should've been like Dr. Klaw (Dr. Claw or whatever from Inspector Gadget) and was hidden in the shadows with that voice still giving Shredder the mutagen and then had the reveal in the 3rd act. If the director done that it would've worked better.
I loved it!! So much homage to the 80's cartoon series!! I am so happy to see Bebop and Rocksteady in a liveaction movie!! There's still room for improvement so I can't wait for the next one
After getting TBoned by a drunk driver, I really needed this video. This was the only other TMNT movie I've ever seen in theaters, other than the 2007 film. Thank you for this, Andre. You made my day
Casey shouldn't have been in the film as there wasn't room and they didn't seem interested in doing him properly. Karai having her ass handed to her by April and Vern was embarrassing for her. It still feel slike the people making these movies don't actually care about or have much knowledge of the franchise. Just saw things written on forums that people wanted and threw it all in there. No effort to write it well.
Notice how no one in the movie ever referred to Dimension X as Dimension X. Also, the April O' Neil in the eighties Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon wasn't always a damsel in distress and was able to defend herself from time to time although April taking out Karai by smacking her with a computer keyboard was farfetched.
Andre some of my favorite moments is when you do your impressions of different people & characters, if I may make a suggestion is that you do a video for fun of you doing your impressions & maybe you could take requests from your fans of what characters we want to see & hear you do. (Christopher Walken) "I gotta have more Andre Krang impressions!" your Brad Garret Krang is awesome too, imagine if 1987 Krang met movie Krang?
The bullet proof plot-hole was bullets in their shells, not in their heads, which is where the cops would aim for coming across "monsters" generally, making a plot-hole for the first of the foot clan not aiming for the heads
What was annoying was when they got Mikey's attribute (heart) and Raph's attribute (instinct) mixed up. Everyone knows Mikey is the one that acts from instinct and Raph acts based on heart. Raph is the one who would take on groups of foot ninjas on his own (heart) and Mikey is the free spirit who fights unorthodoxically (instinct). It is just a little thing that I noticed but as Raph is my favourite I could not ignore.
i literally couldn't agree more about the human aspect story line. do it or dont talk about it. i was so excited when they presented it as an idea, then i was mad because they didnt talk about it again for an hour, then when they brought it back up i nearly yelled with excitement, then when Raph threw it against the wall, that represented what i felt about the rest of the movie. I came here after i complained about it, just to see where Andre stood, me and him are often on the same page, this time we were 100% in sync.. Just like he said, be human for a minute, then realize you were better as turtles, that was the most interesting idea of any turtles movie that they didnt do. They had this great idea that they barely had to write, just present it to people and walk away. Also Kerai beingn taken out by April? Vernon knocking out a foot soldier by bumping his shoulder against a shipping container? Which sucked because i thought the foot and shredder were awesome here. And it seems shredder cant get a good ending in any turtles movie. 😢
When you brought up the "My man!" Catchphrase, all I could think of was the computer simulated mailman cheering on Jerry from the Rock & Morty simulation episode
They should get the kid from the animated show , who was obsessed with the turtles , as a teenager, pretending to be the turtles and fighting crime in the next film. So he's a vigilante type and Mikey saying ''You remind me of a kid we met a long time ago.'' also the turtles lecturing him like in the series, he ignores them and at the end of the film he hands one of turtles back the turtle com they gave him when he was a child.
So the obvious solution is make Andre a consultant on TMNT 3 and give him a cameo or just make him Stalkman.
One way to git dat cheque ;)
aww hell yeah he'd be great as *Stalkman*
I 100% agree! But it's "Stockman".
+Kel McGowan *check
GARITA Productions in England it's spelt c-h-e-q-u-e. :-) America isn't everywhere amigo.
The only time Karai vs April made sense was in the TMNT animated movie since it was explained that she was trained for a few year by Splinter. Other than that, Karai should have straight killed her.
Yeah, in the Nick cartoon at least when they put April against Karai for the first time, April got her butt kicked. And that was with some training, too. In this movie, she should've gotten stabbed or something, no amount of luck could save an untrained person from Karai
yeah vern was shot by eric sacks in the first movie y didn't anything happen to April against a fully trained ninja
Yeah that was an bulls*** moment
Same deal with the 2012 series. She was actually trained for a time to be a legit kunoichi, and even then, Karai STILL kicks her ass.
Yep. Vern could of been cut from his first move against her but I guess the blades were for show
Why would the turtles want to be human? Easy, "They want to be where the people are... they want to see, want to see us dancing, strolling around on our...five digit feeeeet... up where we walk, up where we run, up where we stay all day in the sun, wandering free, wish they could be... part of our wooooorrrrrlllld."
I am so not sorry XD
And yes the end credits had the exact same brainwashing effect on me. Even made me wish for a 3rd movie. Really felt like Krang should have been in the 3rd movie instead. Too much too soon. Karai should have been way more formidable and more martial arts needed period. To not see Leo slicing, Raph stabbing, Donnie wacking, and Mikey spinning his nunchaku Bruce Lee style is just sad. BTW I just loved Donnie's Tony Stark type holo-screens and Casy Jones' set up was really nice, starting out as an unappreciated cop constrained from justice by red tape. I dunno why but the way the turtles went into their shells as they went over the waterfall was hilarious. I think it was the "thunk" sounds.

20:08 OH SNAP THERES ME :D My Personal favorites were Bebop and Rocksteady. Their Bromance was Legendary haha Me and my friend kept quoting them when we went out to PIzza Hut after seein the film haha
JaxBlade OMG OMG I can't believe you commented!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the reason why the turtles were afraid of the cops because the bullets might have bounced of their skins or shell and hit one of the cops
already got that future trunks picture, I see
+RyderOrRiot1 That wasn't the point
When the bullets were bouncing off Raph from the first movie, it was shown that they had hit the front part of his shell. However, they could just as easily take a bullet to the head which most likely would have been fatal.
+Gmaniac01 Technically Raph was shot in the 2014 movie. the bullets just hit the front of his shell, which behaved like a bulletproof vest.
Gmaniac01 I was pretty sure I understood what you meant. You have to keep in mind that the front of turtles are protected as well, not just their backs. "Heroes in a half shell" is kinda misleading. Basically their front is a chest plate. The material is a little thinner and probably a touch softer than the shell on their back, but still sturdy and can take a lot of damage. The movie was very careful to show that the bullets hit that "chest place", and nothing else.
To quote a friend, Out of the shadows should be called "TMNT: Leonardo Hurts Everyone's Feelings" lol
17:24 that's something the 1990 movie did that I really liked. If you pay attention throughout that movie you'll notice that Mikey and Donnie are closer with one another than they are with their other two brothers.
How about that "DEFINITIVE" portrayal of Casey Jones? The, "I WANNA BE A DETECTIVE" Correctional Officer, Casey Jones. Not long haired, vigilante Casey Jones, not even the Arrow version of Casey Jones, but truly, the definitive version, the I WANNA BE A DETECTIVE Casey Jones. (I hope my sarcasm was clear)
Yea they fucked up Casey jones in this movie he was a pussy in this movie
I'm a fan of the comic and the 2003 series and Casey Jones is not a cop he has that mask on 80 percent of the time in the comic
+deon williams I don't know who the actor was but it was embarrassing to watch caesy is rough he's tuff he's grungy he has a deeper voice I'm done with Michael bay I had enuff of his crap
+deon williams this is why I'm done lol I won't ever watch another ninja turtles movie unless they use the proper source material a dark violent turtles movie , until then I'll stick with the IDW Comics and watch reruns of the 2003 series
Tommy9834 yeah it was great
It pisses me off that Shredder and Splinter aren't connected by their Japanese heritage. Like Hamato Yoshi doesn't exist is this universe. And makes me sad.
That's why I stick with the comics and the great 2003 series Micheal bay just screwed up everything I loved about the turtles
+cyshadowx Micheal bay isn't the director you bandwagon
Bob Holly Nobody said Michael Bay was the director, but even if he was that wouldn't change the fact that you're comment makes no sense. A director isn't the one who writes the script, they direct it. Regardless of all that though, seeing how this IS a Michael Bay PRODUCTION he receives a good chunk of the blame IMO, and rightfully so.
Bob Holly bandwagon? Lol ok it's not my fault the movie sucks its idoits like you who support that crap
just because they haven't revealed it doesn't necessarily mean it isn't that way, they clearly had history in the first movie
These Turtles have SHELLS AND CHESTS that are bulletproof. A shot to the head could still feasibly end them.
And don't forget, IDW April also named the comic Turtles.
Correct about Karai. When they first met in 2012 toon, an April with NINJA TRAINING got flattened by Karai.
But they were bulletproof because of a their shell! There skin is vulnerable!
*their
nuh-uh! Remember there was a scene in the first movie where Raph flexes out his chest and arms and all the bullets in his skin pop out towards the bad guys :)
Which would have killed the cops in this movie. That could have been what they were worried about.
Pity nothing was said in the movie about it.
+rush92287 but it was the frontal shell/chest thingy and not their skin!
+Rachael Lipp Exactly
So I gotta be "that guy" and comment on how the Turtles were training to *Wreckx-N-Effect - Rump Shaker* in their lair...Okay lol
I hated the fact that the only person who says "kowabonga" in this movie is Meghan Fox. Thats Mikeys line like WTF
It's "Cowabunga"
Also Raph said it in the first one
i mean in out of the shadows
+Nerdy Mutant Mikey said it to
+Gmaniac01 Who the pluck is lek
lol
Mikey: The way they looked at us... it wasn't just fear... there was hatred.
Man, I wanted to give Mikey a big hug.
We need Andre to step in and direct a full TMNT Live Action Trilogy
Andre, they filmed in Brazil cause the first movie had the second best box office around the globe for them. That's why the turtles went there, it's kinda a way to make the movie even more interesting for the Brazilian audience, it's all about money! ;D
+Luiz Gustavo Battiston D'ávila Klás Ninja Turtles in general is all about money :)
+Andre "Black Nerd" I know, all my toys, tees, and related items can't tell me you're wrong! ;D High Three!
+Andre "Black Nerd" did you hear when Donatello cursed in the beginning when he said: "it's a big ASS magnet" ,when shredder was escaping?
im from Brazil and the movie is still shit
+Gatekeeper9333 So ...
09:53 Leonardo and Rafael, of course, get in a fight because... (a) Rafael wants to prove his superiority, (b) Leo mad a decision - any decision - that doesn't match with Rafael's ideals, (c) they've been in the same space together for more than 5 minutes, (d) it's a day of the week than ends with the letter-Y, or (e) all of the above. LOL
Did anyone ever notice that the Pizza Delivery Boy that was in the beginning of the movie name was Kevin?
Amanda Augustine no
I loved this movie, I had so much fun watching it
Me too. It's what I wanted to see as a kid decades ago.
this was my brother who commented on this and said this I love Andre he tought me it was ok to like nerdy things when you are out of the age group
You would have made a better baxter stockman!
I think Tyler Perry must be a viewer of Andres and decided he'd be the best Baxter ever. All I could think while watching his character was that it had to be Andre, lol
+Christy Redden madea was doing an andre/ neil degrasse tyson thing. I was like just get the real deal and cast andre!
+aneurysms3535 Right?!
more like a waspinator
+Georgeina Strachan wazzpinator terroizzzzzze
Andre, you area great example of what a fanboy should be. You love the property that love with all your heart, but you aren't completely blinded by nostalgia or completely unwilling to except changes and adaptations. props.
The Raphael and Casey "chicken" thing is a regular thing between and Casey and Raph lol
I couldn't watch Angry Joe's review. I loved the movie and I could tell Joe was going to trash it all the way through. I really liked your spoiler free review.
I LOVED how they put the classic theme song at the end 😁
I'm just glad the Ninja Turtles have been given their justice by the great TV show on Nick.
the first two seasons were good. Season 3 was so so. Season 4 is absolute garbage.
season 4 has some really good episodes
IDW is doing a great job as well.
2003 tv........
Dream that tailed off after a few seasons
Speaking of Nutrinos, I definitely spotted Kala in the Shredder freeze
scene, she is to the right with her arm over her face!! :D
yea Megan Fox got sexualized again, but at least they had the decency to make it so that she was sexualizing herself. i actually liked her introduction and the whole flirting up Baxter scene and disguising to get the email part except yeah that slow mo was unnecessary
I think Megan Fox looked prettier with that messy blonde hairstyle and nerdy glasses than how she normally looks.
Still don't see Megan Fox as April O Neil in this movie. 😂
Gmaniac01
Where? All I saw was Megan Fox hanging out with the Ninja Turtles
Gmaniac01
Someone besides Megan Fox
Don't get me wrong she looks hot but we need someone who can do April O Neil's character
Gmaniac01
The movie was great yo me. Better than the 1st one imo
Andre did mention some stuff that didn't need to be mentioned in the movie
Andre, your "I want a check" remark is priceless
I don't even want to see many of the movies you talk about, but I always have lots of fun watching your reviews! Thanks for all the smiles you've put on my face, for being so entertaining and awesome!
Master Splinter was legit so perfect, I was grinning ear to ear every scene he was in lol
I didn't mind Shredder getting tossed aside in this movie. He's been in the main villain in 3 TMNT films already and 4 if you include this one. As for you saying Krang was used too much and should have been saved for a 3rd film, my only problem with that would be what IF they saved Krang for a 3rd film but it never got made? Then we'd never see Krang in a live action film. I'm happy he was the main villain in this so just in case a 3rd doesn't get greenlit, at least we still got him in this one
yeah but if they held back kraang and developed the story more it would be a better movie and potentially a more successful one.
I doubt it. Chances are that the fact that it was a sequel to a Bay-flick would've clipped it's wings long before it got off the ground, regardless of how good the story was.
Well if that leads to Karai becoming the leader of the Footclan for the 1st acts of the 3rd movie, than I am glad they did that. Only way she is going to get any time to shine.
Well, assuming the sequel gets done, this is all basically setting up for a Super Shredder finale.
Think about it; in the last film he briefly contemplated self-mutation, and in this one he both experiments on two humans and ends up left alone with Krang in the Technodrome.
I didn't even know Karai was in the movie.
Because she barely even talks in the movie and they barely even show her
How were BOTH of your Krang impersonations spot on???
I enjoyed this movie, but it might just be because I kept comparing it to the first one
*BETTER and BETTER*
Gmaniac01
------- *Better better is what I mean. More turtle central focus development and more of them interacting with each other like brothers and doing their own unique personalities within their turtle sewer cave. Infact I love whenever Leo talks to Splinter, Mikey bothering Raph here and there, and Donnie discovering new experiments in this movie. Not to mentioned ROCKSTEADY AND BEBOP gotten alot more screen time as well and doing their bumbling duo partnership. Some flaws here and there about the the plot but it didn't take away on how much MORE TURTLES WITHIN THIS MOVIE SO MUCH MORE THAN THE FIRST FILM thankfully. So yep as a moviegoer it is 8/10 for me...... but as a TURTLES FAN....? 10/10 for me. Not better than the 1990 live action first movie.... but way better sequel compared to the original 2 and 3 sequels. :P*
Gmaniac01
------- *Would you want to wait for another reboot and another turtles movie over this one another time...? Prefer to take and rewatch this anyday over the turtles 2 secret of the ooze and 3 anytime dude. It was better than okay for me and the CGI is definitely better than the first. Again when comparing it to the first... i'd rather watch this movie over and over again thank god. I can't wait any longer for another new turtles movie. Everyone is getting spoiled nowadays and I can see the flaws of it all.... but until then.... THIS IS MY NEW TURTLES LIVE ACTION MOVIE this year. The less of a spoiled person, the better off being satisfied and having fun with this one better. :P*
Gmaniac01
----- No im saying it out of you saying "It was ok" or the sounding of your words saying "meh". Sounding like you want more improved dude. ------ If you're a turtles fan and just want it to be better than the first, then it is what it is and shouldn't sound like "Ugh I wish it could've been more." kind of opinion. ------ Not assuming you are attacking my point, Im saying that people should be grateful that they listened to the fans from how the first one came out to be "alright" and wish they fixed some stuffs. Just be grateful they did, that's all that matters man. :P
Gmaniac01
------- You want "boring"?? Try having to watch ALL 3/4 TRANSFORMERS MOVIES in maximum 2-3 HOURS LONG with senseless stupid human characters that are the main stars of the movie and NOT THE ROBOTS themselves about 90% throughout. ---- Ninja turtles 2 felt like the turtles were infact the legit presence within their own damn movie! --------- Not how the transformers came to be with all 3-4 films with senseless action that doesn't help out with a bunch of DEVELOPED NEW CHARACTERS. ----- That to me is the main issue and the main BORING STUPID PROBLEM with all those films put together.
Unless you really love the transformers movies and find that they are just "mindless entertainment" and not 100% fanboy about it..... pretty sad to discuss with these words then with somebody like you here lol.
If they ever, ever make a Ninja Turtles 3 movie, Andre should be the director of the movie or at least help with it. Finish it the right way!
how about Baxter's computer being named "omnus"!!!!!! good reference to an 80s episode season 1 I believe
I think the only way I can try to explain the "we're bullet-proof" plot-hole away is by taking note that in the first movie the turtles are only shown to get shot in the chest and shell. So maybe we can assume that because the turtles were standing still when the cops aimed their guns at them, they were afraid to be shot in the head. I know I'm reaching with that, but that's my best attempt to remove that plot-hole from the movie.
That's a spot on impression of Brad's krang 😂
Andre, they should have hired you to do the voice of Krang.
I loved this movie becuase it was a nice change of pace.. ive been watch too many dark movies/tv shows lately
Truth!
Best Things About TMNT 2:
Turtles
Bebop and Rocksteady
Kevin Eastman Cameo
Baxter Stockman
Shredders Actor
Krang
Worst Things About TMNT 2:
Shredder
Casey Jones
Krangs Screen Time
April
Splinters Screen Time
No Baxter Fly
No Judith Hoag Cameo
Will Arnett
I would disagree and agree on somethings on ur list
Everyone has an opinion
I think they will do Baxter Fly in the next one. They didn't kill him so they might do something with him
Haha HILARIOUS review, killing me with all your zany explanations and one liners LMAO!! my family was so confused during some parts especially with the Kraang and I had to give them a rushed gist of the universe lol! I thought throwing off Shredder the spotlight for the Kraang so quickly without much fight after so much buildup to what he was capable of was a little disheartening but I did like how it was karma from taking advantage of Stockman. I really want to see them expand on the Shredder/Baxter plot line in the third movie if they make one. And I gotta admit, I was REAALLY curious to see that the turtles would turn human instead of Raph throwing the bottle. I also wanted to see more action/plot use of Karai as she is a vital part of the series and Bebop/Rocksteady, too. I blinked and I already had missed Karai's knockout scene bruh. But I agree with you on everything, it was very entertaining, it stuck to its roots more and waaaay better improvement in all aspects. Story needed to be developed to flow better and characters to be fleshed out better but for regular fans, it is very funny and good.
Holy crap Andre, you have some boss lung capacity.
Yeah, especially for a guy with asthma
@@henriquesilva966 He has asthma?
I understand what you were saying about seeing the turtles fight Bebop and Rocksteady at the end, however, the way it plays out closes Casey's story as his primary goal through the movie is to catch them, which he finally does. If someone else stopped them, there would be no need to have Casey.
3rd movie Shredder has to deal with the wrath of Baxter's grandmother, I don't want to be Shredder.
Tyler Perry said that if a 3rd film is to be made Baxter Stockman will mutate into the fly.
You don't get the joke do you?
+yszman Wait that was a joke? Shit I didn't even realize it was lol
+yszman My bad
you talked about almost all the questions I had building up. Bravo Andre!
Been waiting for this review since the sequel was announced! Better grab some popcorn.
And some pizza! Cowabunga!
+Andre "Black Nerd" holding the penicillin I hope?
Andre "Black Nerd" LOL
Favorite line: "Oh hi April" I burst out laughing. #SmoothDonatello. Rumpshaker by wreckk and effect, best TMNT song ever.
"MY MAN!"
Seriously i LOVED this movie, can't wait for the next! crazy huh?
I loved the fact that they showed more "brotherly love" for this sequel. Kudos to the four turtles for livin' up to the hype that the trailers pitched us, but the villains man. I expected so much from Shredder and Karai. Especially Shredder, they got the dude who played the bad guy from Tokyo Drift and the evil Liu Kang from the MK webisodes. Okay, those two examples weren't all that commendable, but come on man I wanted to see Brian Tee in action.
I stinkin' LOVED the movie! I saw it, three times, and plan to see it again if it's still paying when I can. Definitely a happy TMNT fan here^^
"I just got brainwashed by a theme song" don't worry Andre, it's happened to all of us XD
Splinter was trying to keep the turtles off the streets because he was worried about them facing rejection. Looking at what happened in this film, he was right. He has a softer tone now because he's trying to let them grow up and learn these things on their own.
I like Krang's voice. His voice reminds me on Goldar from Power Rangers
krang's robot in the movie does not look like the one in the trailer.
Agreed it looks slightly different.
Yeh thats what i noticed aswell
i know why, Half the head was missing!
actually the majority of anything that looked like skin was removed
+Gungelion it sucks cause it would have looked good imo
I feel like they left no time for emotional development. Like the idea of the turtles turning human was some pretty heavy stuff but I feel like it was rushed through to make way for the next action scene. Same with the character introduction it was like Hi Baxter, Bye Baxter, Hi Krang, Bye Krang. RockSteady and Bepbop got the best treatment of all the new characters. Even Casey Jones was sort of Rushed through. And if they were gonna take the mans hair away they could've at least gave him more time. But I don't know maybe I'm just so spoiled by the 2K12 Ninja Turtles that I just expected more.
11:45 but the turtles never got shot on the head and stuff so they are only bulletproof on the shell
I just saw it. When Megan O'Neil was changing from blond geek girl to school girl, in the sequence her pants magically disappear once she puts the skirt on. I thought that was kinda funny. I enjoyed the movie, liked the relationship and dynamic between the turtles, that and the action sequences were definitely the strongest points for me. I liked that to be or not to be human subplot and actually wanted to see that explored a little more, but the story was pretty crowded already so I agree that it wasn't that necessary, but it did provide some extra depth to the turtles to be given that opportunity. I honestly thought that when Mikey overheard Leo and Donnie talking about the purple ooze that he was going to (at least try to) test it on himself. Casey was OK, but he didn't feel like Casey, I agree that Krang should've been a third act or sequel tease and wish Shredder had more to do, especially in the end. And I agree that Baxter Stockman has an uncanny resemblance to Andre as far as mannerisms and such goes.
Did anybody else see the Triceratron in Krang's ship? :)
Yep
Yes
To the audience's left, correct? I saw that and I was so thrilled.
I did too! I was looking around and i didn't know for sure.
Proof?
The thing I liked is the little moments with Donnie and Raph like in the beginning with them jumping from building to building and Donnie riding on his back even though Raph said it hurts, then the rest of the movie Donnie's like "Where's Raph". And the whole bulletproof thing maybe they still remembered they were bulletproof and they didn't want the police to find out cause if they did they might find a more horrific way to take them out if they figured that they couldn't shoot them.
Leonardo and Ralph civil war directed Michael bay
Loved that Jem reference
I luv you Andre
I hope your comment gets tons of thumbs up so Andre can see it.
1) Andre I love all of your reviews and overall love for this franchise. It makes a super fan, such as myself, giddy to see that someone else out there has the turtle fever.
2) You didn't touch on Casey Jones and his character and how absolutely NOT Casey Jones he felt. No offense to Stephan Amell (because he's hot) but he was not right to play the role. Jones is gritty and gnarly with this deep voice, Amell was clean cut and honestly had a pretty high voice and was overall the wrong person to play him. Casey's back story was also changed to make him seem more clean and boyish which was really not the classic Jones that we all were excited to see.
3) My favorite part of this movie was how great some of the characters were. The turtles, beebop and rocksteady, and stockman gave me chills because they were so great. Out of all of them though I think Stockman was portrayed the best. I've always thought of him as this nerdy and giddy scientist and that was 100% shown in the movie so a big thank you to the makers for not ruining one villian. With that said, I was highly disappointed in Shredder and Karai's portrayal. Karai is my favorite female character and she was put down by darn Megan Fox.... And Shredder was put up to be this big old bad guy when he got his butt whomped on in two seconds by Kranng! That was disappointing.
4) I don't think some character's were necessary in this film, with the plot that was given. I love Kranng and thought that he was good in the movie but I don't think this movie gave him the proper set up. After watching it, I actually would've liked if they played this movie more like a "City at War" kind of way, from the '03 series. This would've given more shredder, more fights with the turtles and beebop and rocksteady, more of Karai, and we could've maybe gotten a better Casey Jones story from it. Sure there would have to be the purple dragons introduced into the mix but they are not nearly as big of a villain as the one and only kranng!! They would be simple to set up and introduce unlike Kranng, who could use a whole other movie to set up instead of introducing like five other characters before his big scene!
~Anyway, there's my rant, I'm a huge fan! You make me laugh and make my turtle senses tingle every time I watch your reviews! I hope that the movie can bring in enough money for another because this movie was A LOT better then that thing that came out in 2014, but who knows. Have a nice day and stay nerdy
I absolutely LOVED it. Yeah it had obvious problems as well as personal (what movie DOES'NT?) but i can honestly say that this is my favorite TMNT movie since the 1990 original. Dave Green did a fantastic job and you can absolutely tell that he is a fan and gets these characters. The turtles were FRONT AND CENTER for this movie from the beginning to the very end, Gary Anthony Williams and Sheamus as Bebop and Rocksteady were freakin' AWESOME and very funny, as close as PERFECT as you could have gotten with them, Brian Tee as Shredder and Brittany Ishibashi as Kairi were solid as well (just wish they had a bit more to do), Tyler Perry was also very good as Baxter, there was actual character development (Raph had a LEGITIMATE reason to be pissed), action scenes were great, Megan Fox was better this time around, Stephen Amell was ok as Casey, and the movie (unlike the 1st part) was actually surprisingly funny. The whole theater was laughing and having a good time throughout the whole movie. My only real negative was Krang. Didn't have a problem with his portrayal, he just felt pretty rushed. All in all it was an ENORMOUS improvement over the 1st part and hopefully if there is a part 3 they get Dave back to direct it.
At Tyler perry's first laugh I was like damn that's Andre. Cut the check!!!!!!!
ANDREEEEE, I can't believe you didn't talk about the BIGGEST problem with this movie and it was Casey Jones. Not the actor, but the character himself was nothing like Casey Jones, his personality, the fact he was a fucking cop 😒 and he is usually much more of a badass than how they portrayed him.
+ninearthify I talk about him in the no spoilers review.
Andre "Black Nerd" fair enough👍I love your channel!
totally who would have thought that casey jones would be worse than april in this.
Right what about when he says “GOONGALA” And he barley even had the Casey look in the movie either (he only carried his hockey stick in one scene and had his mask on and that one scene where he was saving April) so it’s basically like he was just some guy.I still like him though
People have already commented that turtles are only bulletproof 'cuz of their shells, but I also think, despite being vigilantes, they respect the law and act by Bushido code, also proving they are not freaks or monsters as depicted by cops.
I loved that scene :)
When is the tmnt nickelodeon series season 4 continuing?
September
I think I read somewhere that it isn't until September. :/
Wow, that sucks... :P
I could be wrong, but I swear I saw a Pizza Monster in Krang's collection room.
Tyler Perry is the secret to saving these films, Andre.
Medea and the Ninja Turtles coming together to fight Shredder, who has entered an abusive relationship with Medea's granddaughter, and an army of Crip Foot Ninjas. It is the movie we deserve.
And Andre, it's dollars to donuts you're gonna be getting a labcoat and a bow-tie to cosplay as Tyler Perry's Baxter Stockman.
Still wondering what happened to Eric Sacks
He fell into a plot hole that was enveloped and covered up by a continuity error, causing him to cease to exist.
he turned into Baxter stockman
Kuro Linguini thanks for explaining me
Betrayal was brilliant and a nice swerve where as he was expected to have alot of time. Brilliant betray of shredder
*To the people who find this movie "boring" or somewhat stupidly bad......*
-----Try having to watch ALL 3/4 TRANSFORMERS
MOVIES in maximum 2-3 HOURS LONG with senseless stupid human characters
that are the main stars of the movie and NOT THE ROBOTS themselves about
90% throughout. ---- Ninja turtles 2 felt like the turtles were infact
the legit presence within their own damn movie! --------- Not how the
transformers came to be with all 3-4 films with senseless action that
doesn't help out with a bunch of DEVELOPED NEW CHARACTERS. ----- That to
me is the main issue and the main BORING STUPID PROBLEM with all those
films put together.
Dude this movie still sucked I'm sry but I grew up with the comic not the 90s cartoon I found the movie stupid
cyshadowx
-------- you mean the 1987 or the 2003 cartoon??...... yea get your freaking facts right dummy xD. Also this movie is an improvement over the first one. Such a failed fan like yourself can't even get the YEAR OF turtles cartoon right lmao. Also each turtles version have their own unique styles to them.... dumb dumb xD
+Seabook Farno You sound like you're fun at parties.
+Seabook Farno and dude I am the number fan I still have the original black and white comic my uncle gave to me when i was around 9 I grew up with the good stuff not that crappy ass cartoon from 1987 the movie was shit the cartoon was shit just like you cya loser I don't give a Damm what you say
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH DX
I laughed when Leo mouths to Raphael "no" because Casey was gonna charge splinter XD LOL :D :') X'D
Who saw Usagi Yujimbo?
a rabbit samurai from a different comic that had lots of appearences in the 87 and 03 series
+snufflebub98 he said "who saw" not "who's"
+Transformer Geek whoops, my bad
did you see him???
9:18 YO ANDRE I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING! I actually wanted to see it happen
My man!
My man!
My man!
andre the song was tmnt intro by cd9
crap i forgot MAH MAN
I died after you went on that rant. That ended with "wth did I just say"😂😂😂😂
I think you should co write the next film
The "chicken" part made me light up a bit because it's actually a reference to the first live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film when Raph meets Casey Jones in the park, and it was Raph that called Casey chicken where it is the other way around in this new one, Out of the Shadows.
My friends and I enjoyed the movie, by the way, and we watched it in 3D. Although I agree the writing does need a lot of work. I also felt that there wasn't enough emotional scenes, and feels very prompt, probably due to the music score always being so epic-like all the time. If they had the right director, they would be better. Also, I know that there were some older concept ideas that made it into this film (ie. Michael wanting to be more human, Donnie morphing, hi-tech bo, the Foot with guns) were ideas from Laird and Eastman that they wanted in the initial 4th TMNT movie, The Next Mutation (tentative title before the Saban TV series). So I'm glad that some of that made it in. I wonder if there are others out there that are catching on with this because I can't just be the only one.
you watsh jem and the holograms.
+Corey Jr Tune You have a couple of my videos from last year to watch ;)
+Andre "Black Nerd" I'm sorry #jem
He doesn't WATSH it. No one WATSHES it.
+Andre "Black Nerd" I think Bebop and Rocksteady ate slides of animal cells in the room. I remember seeing Bebop eating something.
+Andre "Black Nerd" i saw alien
Kraang should've been like Dr. Klaw (Dr. Claw or whatever from Inspector Gadget) and was hidden in the shadows with that voice still giving Shredder the mutagen and then had the reveal in the 3rd act. If the director done that it would've worked better.
I loved it!! So much homage to the 80's cartoon series!! I am so happy to see Bebop and Rocksteady in a liveaction movie!! There's still room for improvement so I can't wait for the next one
After getting TBoned by a drunk driver, I really needed this video. This was the only other TMNT movie I've ever seen in theaters, other than the 2007 film. Thank you for this, Andre. You made my day
Casey shouldn't have been in the film as there wasn't room and they didn't seem interested in doing him properly. Karai having her ass handed to her by April and Vern was embarrassing for her. It still feel slike the people making these movies don't actually care about or have much knowledge of the franchise. Just saw things written on forums that people wanted and threw it all in there. No effort to write it well.
Notice how no one in the movie ever referred to Dimension X as Dimension X. Also, the April O' Neil in the eighties Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon wasn't always a damsel in distress and was able to defend herself from time to time although April taking out Karai by smacking her with a computer keyboard was farfetched.
Andre some of my favorite moments is when you do your impressions of different people & characters, if I may make a suggestion is that you do a video for fun of you doing your impressions & maybe you could take requests from your fans of what characters we want to see & hear you do. (Christopher Walken) "I gotta have more Andre Krang impressions!" your Brad Garret Krang is awesome too, imagine if 1987 Krang met movie Krang?
I actually like the turning human line and the fact they didn't want to do it. It was something never addressed in a real way before.
I was just nodding my head in agreement through this whole video lmao! Preach it Andre!
The bullet proof plot-hole was bullets in their shells, not in their heads, which is where the cops would aim for coming across "monsters" generally, making a plot-hole for the first of the foot clan not aiming for the heads
What was annoying was when they got Mikey's attribute (heart) and Raph's attribute (instinct) mixed up. Everyone knows Mikey is the one that acts from instinct and Raph acts based on heart. Raph is the one who would take on groups of foot ninjas on his own (heart) and Mikey is the free spirit who fights unorthodoxically (instinct). It is just a little thing that I noticed but as Raph is my favourite I could not ignore.
Bebop and Rocksteady were so fun. I wish the Turtles did some more fighting, though.
i literally couldn't agree more about the human aspect story line.
do it or dont talk about it.
i was so excited when they presented it as an idea, then i was mad because they didnt talk about it again for an hour, then when they brought it back up i nearly yelled with excitement, then when Raph threw it against the wall, that represented what i felt about the rest of the movie.
I came here after i complained about it, just to see where Andre stood, me and him are often on the same page, this time we were 100% in sync..
Just like he said, be human for a minute, then realize you were better as turtles, that was the most interesting idea of any turtles movie that they didnt do.
They had this great idea that they barely had to write, just present it to people and walk away.
Also Kerai beingn taken out by April?
Vernon knocking out a foot soldier by bumping his shoulder against a shipping container?
Which sucked because i thought the foot and shredder were awesome here.
And it seems shredder cant get a good ending in any turtles movie.
😢
When you brought up the "My man!" Catchphrase, all I could think of was the computer simulated mailman cheering on Jerry from the Rock & Morty simulation episode
*Rick & Morty
I liked the old school Donatello icon on April's turtle communicator thingy. That's a cool nod.
They should get the kid from the animated show , who was obsessed with the turtles , as a teenager, pretending to be the turtles and fighting crime in the next film. So he's a vigilante type and Mikey saying ''You remind me of a kid we met a long time ago.'' also the turtles lecturing him like in the series, he ignores them and at the end of the film he hands one of turtles back the turtle com they gave him when he was a child.
