It just can't be done anymore can it?

After Ninja Turtles 3 came out...which I'm seriously breaking a few laws by even mentioning it...and in some areas you could probably get your tongue cut off just by saying "3" after "Ninja Turtle" After about 10 years since the Ninja Turtle movie crash of 1993...There's no excuse for the new one to be better than all 3 combined...well...it's not...It's better than the third one...but that's as far as it can go.
Back when I was little, Ninja Turtles was my universe, I would wake up in the morning and play with my Ninja Turtle toys before anything else, I begged my parents to buy me the Chrome Dome playset that cost $100 stinkin dollars back then, so I played with it and the moment I opened the box lost the big eye ball thing under the couch and it's never been seen since. Anyways Ninja Turtles was awesome...So naturally movies would show up, and the first movie was cool, the second movie was cool, the third movie AHHHHH!!!! RUN!!!

CHEESY!!!
I suppose the reason the third one was bad was because...well they killed off Shredder in the second movie...that's kinda like SuperMan with no Lex Luthor, how do you follow that? Well my guess would be to have Darksied as the next villain...and they haven't done that yet...But what did Ninja Turtles 3 do? They brought in a guy with a bird...and a Samurai...and those were the two villains...
For the life of me, whoever thought that up should be fired, and second of all there's a thousand choices they could have made to be the next villian...What like the Rat King? Baxter Stockman? Leather Head?.......KRANG?! Whatever happened to Krang?

Here he is! The brains of the....ignore that.
So you would think they should learn from TMNT 3...and bring a villain in...that has to do with the comics...or the show...you know...the villain should be someone we know and look forward to seeing....So is Krang in the 4th movie?
NO
Krang is not in any of the 4 movies......Why? Krang and Shredder were the dynamic duo of evil in the show, AND I place Krang above Shredder because Krang was the reason that they had Foot Soilders, and tanks, and other mutants to fight against the Turtles...What did Shredder do? Nothing...At the time he was the main villain because I guess he was human...But Krang was the real mastermind behind it all.
The movie has to do with monsters from another dimension.....OHH OHH! Is it Dimension X?! I remember that from the show!!!
................
No this is a different dimension......
Dimension Y
................
Ok so what is still the same from last time?
The turtles are there, Casey Jones is there, April O Neal and Splinter...Ok well at least the good guys are all there.
So who are the villians this time?
Karai, the Foot Clan, and Patrick Stewart.
................Where's Krang?
Ok so who's Karai? Well the old Ninja Turtles show was cancelled before she could show up, the Foot clan is still there, yeah, and Patick Stewart plays some weird business man who wants his monsters back.
First I'm gonna slam Patrick Stewart's villan character...
At the begining you see him talking to Karai, ok so your thinking well this must be the main new villain that the Ninja Turtles have to defeat before he takes over the world or something, his plan is to gather 10 monsters and send them back through the dimension they came from......
..............
So wait a minute...what does that have to do with the Turtles.......Well as far as I can tell....Nothing. The real main plot twist to the movie is that Patrick Stewart...you ready? Is not the main villain....
.............Do you see something wrong here?
Ok first of all the movie starts off to make us think he's the main villain, then it reveals the shocking truth that he's not.........Wow........that's.......really lame. What kind of plot twist is this? It's suprizing yes, but at the same time it's like...what the crap? It's the same feeling I had in I Robot where you think Robertson is the villain, then it turns out to be Viki....but only this time there is no main villain...What if it wasn't Robertson but there's no Viki to bring in? It's the feeling I have here, there is no main villain, the main villain are the four monsters that Patrick Stewart has with him.........KRANG!!! Karai isn't the main villain either, she ends up helping the turtles get the last monster so they can send the other 4 monsters into the other dimension...Karai controls the foot clan...So what's going on here? Back in the day the Foot clan would never ever help the Turtles like this, everything is just messed up.
April O Neal knows martial arts....Since when? I haven't followed the series for quite some time but I don't remember her knowing how to fight...and she's not a news reporter anymore? What?! Come on! She's always been a news reporter, even in the third movie she was a news reporter.
As far as the action scenes...meh...some are ok, but sometimes I'd see something that looked like it was claymation or something, especially Leonardo and Raphael's fight in the rain, the parts where Raph would throw chains and the way Raph jumped from roof top to roof top...I mean if a CGI movie looks like it was claymation...that's pretty bad, some of the fights I rolled my eyes at and I just wanted to leave the theater, for real there's one part where everybody's fighting, but you can't tell what's going on because the camera's moving so fast...and the last fight with the 4 monsters....Ugh...I felt ripped off.
The jokes reminded me of how I use to watch the old show and I didn't get the jokes because only the adults got them, but this movie's jokes were just awful, but hey the jokes in the third movie were worse so I'll give it that...I mean most the jokes in the third one don't even make sense, at least these do.
There's not much I like about this movie...One thing I really wish they would have done is just to start all over again ok? Reboot the movies and pretend the first 3 never existed, bring us back Shredder and Krang, Beebob and Rocksteady, the Foot soilders...Baxter Stockman, Leather Head, and some of the other bad guys, and that would be awesome. I guess we can only dream since they fired Krang a long time ago.

KRANG!!! |
