The Turtles are back. Again. But this time, I was actually excited to watch their latest incarnation, as the animation style looked to be something else. It didn't disappoint in that regard, it's a shame the rest of the film was a little lagging. Not that it was terrible, just underdeveloped and a little lazy. The art style is stunning, and it's amazing to see it in motion. The 90s score is a bummer though and the voice acting is pretty bad, as is the juvenile comedy. It kinda comes with the territory, but it still annoyed me (just like the endless name-dropping). The Ghostbusters-like finale was pretty spectacular though. Onto the next part (which brings back Shredder).Read all
US animation has finally evolved beyond the Pixar look, but that doesn't mean that the films themselves have automatically evolved with it. The Mitchells vs the Machines may sport a slightly more interesting art style, but the obnoxiousness and the horrid comedy are still very much present. High-strung, loud, and annoying characters, each and every single one of them. That's what killed this film for me. The art style is a step up from similar films, but it's not much of a comfort when your ears are ringing from listening to the horrid voice actors shouting every line. Not good.Read all
