The Turtles continue to live in the shadows and no one knows they were the ones who took down Shredder. Vernon is the one everyone thinks is the one who took Shredder down. April O'Neill does some snooping and learns a scientist named Baxter Stockman is working for Shredder. He plans to break him out while he's bringing transported. April tells the turtles, who try to stop it but can't. Stockman tries to teleport Shredder but he some how ends up in another dimension and meets a warlord named Krang who instructs Shredder to assemble a teleportation device he sent to Earth a long time ago. He gives Shredder some mutagen which he uses to transform two criminals who were also in the transport with him, Rock Steady and Bebop, into mutants. They then set out to find the device. April saw the transformation while investigating Stockman. She takes the mutagen and is chased by Shredder's minions, the Foot Clan. She is saved by a man named Casey Jones who was the one transporting Shredder. The Turtles show up and they try to work together. In the melee, the mutagen ends up with the police. Knowing Shredder will try and get it back, April tries to get it first and she asks Vern to help. Eventually she and Casey are arrested. The Turtles get the mutagen and Donatello analyzes it, learns it could make them human, which he tells Leonardo who tells him to forget it and not to tell the others. But Michelangelo tells Raphael who feels that Leonardo doesn't respect them. After facing Shredder, who has joined forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman and henchmen Bebop and Rocksteady to take over the world, the Turtles must confront an even greater nemesis: the notorious Krang. I remember being very excited for the first TMNT reboot. The CGI models for the turtles looked great, It was made by Nickelodeon, and the trailer brought back nostalgia. Then i went to see it and i was like, "Ehhh." It was by no means terrible, it just wasn't GREAT. The plot was recycled from The Amazing Spiderman, the shredder wasn't a compelling enemy, and.. well, Meagan Fox. I did enjoy the turtle's characters and was hoping for a sequel with a better story. And, more or less, that's what i got.<br/><br/>It was by no means perfect, as it was still Michael Bayed to the max, but it provided enough nostalgia, good story, good action, and great characters to keep you entertained the entire movie. Megan Fox's performance was improved over the last film and so was Will Arnet's. The character of Casey Jones was well done and was my favorite character in the movie. The CGI was improved from the last movie and the turtles were even more lovable. <br/><br/>The best improvement by far was the villains. Unlike the first movie the villains were fun, cool, and compelling. Shredder's character was greatly improved with a cooler and more original outfit. Also Rocksteady and Bebop were well done and were very funny. It was nice to see the Foot Clan using swords instead of guns. And Finally, the surprise appearance from Krang was excellent as he was my favorite enemy in the original cartoon. His design was great and he looked awesome. <br/><br/>Then, Just as the movie ends, you get a rock and roll version of the original theme song during the credits that was so epic! It was a nostalgia trip! <br/><br/>I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. Keep up the good work Michael Bay, this may be your best work yet. Two years ago I gave the new Michael Bay TMNT Reboot a 6.5, two years later I am still giving the same mark. Good job Nickelodeon giving me a reason to go back to the cinema for your sequel and guess what I might do this again when / if the 3rd one come out!<br/><br/>Similar to the first one, TMNT is a movie that shouldn't be taken too seriously. Accept what it is, and well embrace the very reason why you are going to the cinema to watch this even after you have watched the trailer, then you will have a good time.<br/><br/>Cartoonist characters + Eye Candy leading female character + Michael Bay explosions + Transformers kind of score + Brainless plot and some painful dialogues + Good old nostalgic moments that bring back the memories when you watched TMNT Cartoon as a kid => Pretty much all you can expect from this movie :)<br/><br/>Yup I had a good time I have to admit, guilty pleasure is still pleasure right? The movie suffers from being the same shape as so many modern blockbusters, and the plot in the second half of the film is basically another riff on the “reach the glowing doodad on a roof to prevent the end of the world” structure. But the focus on the Turtles and the film’s overall amiable sense of goofball humor carries the day.
