Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out of the Shadows Review

The reboot of the popular comic book/TV show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have been far from spectacular, but I found myself still enjoying the movie much to my surprise.
So when the sequel was confirmed, I was of course interested to see where the characters would go to from the previous movie.
Like its predecessor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows will not be to most peoples tastes, but there is still some enjoyment to get out of it if you're a fan of the television show and as well as the previous movie, though it's still no near the level of the 1990 film. While Megan Fox is still far from being a good actress, this series still sees her in a better position than the Transformer franchise, and while Steven Amel doesn't match up to Elias Koteas' Casey Jones or his performance in Arrow, he still does a decent job as the Turtles new ally.
One of the major disappointments however it the handling of Shredder who spends the majority of the movie unmasked and end up playing second fiddle to Krang who in the end has very little presence in the overall film.
In the end, Out of the Shadows in probably on the same level as the previous film, nothing overall special, but still enjoyable none the less.
