It is clear that if follows the same screen writing rules of the last Bay franchise.
The film does have some rewarding moments, but it just keeps hindering us to the less interesting parts which makes it disappointing. Which is a shame, because it somewhat gets it right with the turtles, their stories are more interesting than the one we ended up seeing. The real sin of these movies is its lack of interest to its main heroes and instead focuses on the human characters. At the post-viewing, maybe we can accept the heavy reliance to cartoony CGI, or the large amount of explosions, or the really poor plot. As the same as the public response about the Transformers franchise, people turned out to be ranting at the wrong stuff. But as a producer, does it affect much to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Surprisingly yes. No matter how the name Michael Bay is attached to a fantasy adaptation, people will complain anything about the project.
