Clear increase
The first film was Turtles is still inconsequential and lame. Everything was flat and barren.
Here the story finally got even more space and the effects were reduced. Bay finally gets the hang of it.

Much better than the first reboot.
It has Krang in it, Rocksteady, Bebop, Humor, Action, 80's references and April o'neil is hot.
Considering that is an adolescience filx based on a 80's cartoon for child it does his job proprerly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film is mostly a good film with lots of action sequences with a few comedic moments here and there. The film is definitely better than the last although Shredder did seem a bit under powered than last time because (!!SPOILER ALERT!!) Krang just freezes him and Krang seems a bit less powerful than Shredder was in the first. Why didn't Shredder just kill Krang when he had the chance? And also they expect you to know who Bebop and Rocksteady are and what they do and all that stuff. But overall this movie was pretty great and I might pick this up on the DVD or on the Blu-Ray.… Expand

It’s not a good film but it’s not awful. If you are a Ninja Turtles fan and if the first film put you off I would recommend you give it a go. They get the Turtles down pretty well and there is a decent story here, if a very flawed one at that (especially when the climax rips off the climax of The Avengers). It, however, is not a great movie. The effects aren’t that great and still don’t blend too well with the live action, the actors aren’t giving great performances and the film could never seem to pick a villain and stick with it, having most of the villains feel rather wasted. Not a good film, but I expected worse.… Expand

Mediocre action film

As most action films have no plot this movie at least had some plot to it with interesting villains as it was a bit boring however.

All in all Characters are fine and again fun Tyler Perry is good in this.

Out of the shadows again may have Michael Bay action but now it's more entertaining than the previous one,It's silly but at the same time fantastic.
The Movie suffers from it's story,it's so confusing and ridiculous,the pacing is sometimes bad and the visual effects sometimes looks fake.

Brainless fun is what I describe from this film,you need to turn off your brain if your watching,like I did,and you will be entertained,if not you'll get annoyed and constantly asking questions throughout the film even the movie has a lot of problems like stupid moments,again a lazy written plot,dull humor but I was just entertained.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out of The shadows is not endearing,engaging,it lacks intelligence accompanied with a lazily written plot,without the feeling of effort in to it but instead a fun stupid kid's movie which is surprising,I've never liked the first one but I like this and my feelings are positive.I'm Just Completely surprised… Expand

I think I may be one of the few people that actually liked the first Ninja Turtles movie.It was silly, sure, but what did you expect a movie about four anthropomorphic turtles to be like? Come the sequel, and now it was just pure absurdity.I think I may be one of the few people that actually liked the first Ninja Turtles movie.It was silly, sure, but what did you expect a movie about four anthropomorphic turtles to be like? Come the sequel, and now it was just pure absurdity.

I was actually looking forward to this movie for the inclusion of Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, and Casey Jones, yet at the end of the day, none of them hit any kind of mark with me. Every time one of them opened their mouths, they always had something stupid to say that sounds worse than the most childish cartoon you can think of (ironic considering I'm a young adult and Krang honestly made me want to puke). Every time they spoke, I had to bite my lip to keep myself from screaming at them to shut up, and you know you've done something wrong when Megan Fox isn't the most annoying person in your movie. Even the action sequences while entertaining felt utterly pointless since I didn't give a damn about what was going on. Literally the only things that didn't suck about this movie were the turtles themselves and the end credits song.

Supposedly there's a third film in the works, and honestly, I'm not going to let myself get suckered in again. If it turns out to be anything like this one, it'll be the biggest waste of time and effort in the past decade.… Expand

The writing was pretty bad too. It's almost like the movie was hijacked or simply the product of warring screen-writers. Needlessly there are two villains; it is forced. And awful.

Even though I enjoyed parts of the first movie, this one is definitely better. The CGI is fairly well done, and the characters are super entertaining to watch and explore. The brotherhood between the four turtles is done masterfully here, when in the first movie it was absolutely not. The action sequences are really fun and despite the physics not making much sense, that's not what the focus is on here.
I personally liked Stephen Amell as Casey Jones, he had a couple of cool action scenes and while by the end he felt a bit wasted, still I am hoping that we see him more in the sequel (if there is one). The main villain is iconic and totally worked for the movie and the finale fight at the end. About the end though, it felt more of the same from the last film and that took me out of it for a second but all in all I definitely enjoyed it and the additions of Bebop and Rocksteady was a genius idea that made the film even more fun.… Expand

The saw a picture of Krang and the Technodrome and said alright lets make him super annoying and nothing like the show at all. Also they don't explain where he comes from in the least just like they threw it in there to try and get us older fans to go see it and it did for me and I was severely disappointed. Never thought I'd say this but Donney was WAY to smart, he figured out the plot almost faster then the villains knew what was going on. This movie was a flop and a waste of money, don't even see it for free on TV in several years, not worth your time. Trailer was extremely misleading.

I love Casey Jones as a character and Stephen Amell as an actor but it was an absolutely wrong casting choice and writing was just horrible. 95% of his scenes are in the trailer and he WAS NOT A COP, how do you mess that up!?… Expand

The film contains the same tacked-on humor, lame CGI that looks like it was from a 20 year old Pixar film, and characters that could not be more one-dimensional if the screenwriters tried. We see the four turtles return once again, Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Michelangelo (Noel Fisher) seem to be shocked to discover at how much credit that Vern (Will Arnett) is taking after taking down the Shredder in the previous battle. Since they have to remain unseen to the public, some of them find it hard to cope with saving the world and not being rewarded for it. All the public would do is shut them out for looking like hideous monsters even though they mean no harm. April O'Neil (Megan Fox) is also back, and she is planning to find out more information about the mysterious Dr. Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and what he might be doing with some chemicals at the TCRI lab. When she finally does discover what he is truly up to, it's not good news, especially for the turtles as well as the innocent people. Some new additions to the sequel include Casey Jones (Stephen Amell from 'Arrow'), the fan favorites; Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Sheamus) as well as adding Laura Linney as Chief Rebecca Vincent, who often looks down on Casey, who wants to prove to her that he can be a worthy cop. The Shredder (Brian Tee) manages to escape jail and plans to threaten the city once again... only this time, the turtles seem to have trouble hiding themselves from the public. Everywhere they go, there is always this concern that they might expose themselves to anyone who aren't familiar with them. The film, once again, is not directed by Michael Bay (he remains as producer), but is directed by Dave Green. However, it's hard to ignore that it still feels like a Michael Bay directed action movie. The typical slow-motion explosions, the out-of-place humor (we get more fart jokes again), proving that Megan Fox is nothing more than eye-candy, and some unusual camera techniques that were only unique to a Michael Bay-directed movie. Never has a movie failed to gain my attention, but 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows' might just get that reward.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TMNT: Out of the Shadows was awesome – even more so the more I think about it!

They explored a theme I haven’t seen in the comics, TV series, or other movies – what they would do if given the chance to be human. This rougher, tougher, more intimidating look for the Turtles fit in quite nicely with this subplot. The police initially saw them as monsters. That hit Michelangelo particularly hard. You could see how badly he wanted to fit in. His moment in the Halloween parade reminded me of Quasimodo joining Topsy Turvy Day’s festivities in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

That’s precisely why Leonardo wanted Donatello to keep it a secret that the purple ooze could be reverse engineered to make them human. And they couldn’t tell Raph for the very reason they witnessed once he discovered the truth. He’s a loose cannon. His and Mikey’s plan put April and Casey in jeopardy.
I like these versions of the human characters. April is smarter than in some version and is braver than in most. She was blond at the beginning and is usually brunette. Will we ever see her as a redhead?
I questioned Casey being so clean cut initially, but this is a smarter, more focused Casey Jones who is still a Looney Tune with a bad temper. That scene in the bar proved that was really Casey.
Vernon was better in this movie than in the last. He was the self-centered glory hound he was in the original TV series, and there was much less of him.
The humans had their place in the movie, and I’m glad they took a backseat to the turtles. In the last movie, the people were a bit too prominent.
Bebop and Rocksteady were a fun addition. I love how Casey considered whether they would be stupid enough to go to their old hangout after breaking out of the police van and said, “Yeah, they are,” just after I said it. The movie held true to the characters while modernizing them. Their idea to form their own foot clan and move up to “a leg clan” was hysterical, as was their resolve to no longer be errand boys breaking within a minute of their declaration.
I love the messages in this movie. Being an outcast sucks. People hate and fear what they don’t know. Mikey’s expression when he said he saw hate in the people’s eyes when the police chief called them monsters was heartbreaking. The Turtles considered being human but learned not to change who you are to fit in. The turtles were the only ones who could save Earth, because their biological makeup allowed them to get close to the Technodrome whereas humans couldn’t. So good they didn’t turn human!
The movie taught not to write off anyone based on first impressions. The police and the Turtles gave each other another chance. The Turtles learned people could come to accept them, and the police saw they weren’t monsters.
The brothers also learned that appreciating each other’s uniqueness and playing off one another’s strengths is how to save the day, not expecting everyone to be the same. Leo’s frustration and cognitive rigidity was so me, but he came around and learned that lesson too.
There were so many great scenes that were just plain fun, like the Turtles watching the Knicks game – especially the spit balls and pizza. And when they all said what they had that others don’t, and Raph exclaimed, “Garbage truck!” instead of, “Turtle power!” That still makes me laugh out loud. And that TMNT theme at the end that blended the original TV series theme song with “Ninja Rap”. I bought it on iTunes.
I watched part of TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze last night on DVD upon returning home from the new movie, and I saw parallels between both sequels. In both Secret of the Ooze and Out of the Shadows, Shredder is back, and he creates two mutants of his own. TGRI / TCRI is prominent in both. The Turtles enlist the help of a crucial human ally – Casey in Out of the Shadows and Keno in Secret of the Ooze. I wonder if that was all intentional. And “Ninja Rap” is in both movies too.
Oh, and the Easter eggs in this movie! Kevin Eastman is the pizza delivery guy, and when Mikey snaps up the pizza and drops off the payment, he calls out, “Thanks, Kevin!” Donatello and all his gadgets were so original series – especially the purple turtle face that appeared on the wrist device he made for April. Hints of the original TV theme song were throughout the movie, the best being when they honked the horn of the garbage truck, and it was the tune of Heroes In A Halfshell. That part makes me smile just thinking about it. And, of course, that medley at the end! It was so awesome that I mentioned it twice. And Casey telling the police the Turtles came from New Hampshire. They really did!! And then, of course, Krang and the freaking Technodrome screams original series!
I love Casey’s realization that the Turtles were the ones who saved him when he saw the trash truck. He sounded out of his mind when telling the police chief about the Turtles in a garbage truck that shot manhole covers – another nod to the original cartoon.
Great movie overall… Expand

It's fun, of course, and there are a lot of cool scenes with some humor; but the villains in this film really didn't do a great job. The acting for the villains were bland and all of them except for Krank felt like they had no real power. The film's length was just perfect, not too long or short. However, on the bright side, the turtles were what I expected. They were amazing and fun to watch. Megan Fox was good in this film as well as Stephen Amell. Overall, I guess TMNT2 was a pretty decent summer kickoff movie and was pretty much around the same level as the first one. (77/100)… Expand

There is not one good part about this movie. The jokes are stale, and the action is boring and the villain is not even cool. Don't waste money on watching this movie, it will just disappoint you.

Now that's out of the way, what a blast! Fast paced, colorful action movie with fun characters and a couple of good jokes along the way. The movie certainly never takes itself too seriously and that's part of what allows it be so fun. We're all in on the silliness here, so relax and roll with it. Finally, Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady were pretty much perfect.… Expand

A pretty big step in the right direction. April O'Neil (still not a redhead) and Vernon are kept in their sidekick roles, we get a more respectable portrayal of Shredder, there are more classic villains, and the turtles are the main focusA pretty big step in the right direction. April O'Neil (still not a redhead) and Vernon are kept in their sidekick roles, we get a more respectable portrayal of Shredder, there are more classic villains, and the turtles are the main focus like they should have been in the first movie. The result is a movie much more enjoyable for TMNT fans.

The plot is pure nonsense. Both the enemies and the turtles have access to some absurd technology that serves only the purpose of making it as convenient as possible for the villains to have a plan and the turtles to pick up on it. From there it's the standard save the world from ending by powering down some crazy device plot setup that we've seen so much since the start of the superhero movie craze. At least the heroes in a half shell have their own identities this time around, despite the nonsensical and borrowed plot.

Aside from basically being April O'Neil: The Movie, one of the more key flaws to the first of this rebooted series is that it's tone borrowed so much from the other heroes we've seen onscreen lately. There was some of The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Spider-Man, and so on. The turtles themselves had their signature personalities, but it was hard to pick up on it with all these other superheroes' tones floating around. The fact that the spotlight was on Megan Fox's O'Neil for so much of that movie didn't help either. It ultimately just didn't feel much like a TMNT movie. Out of the Shadows helps to rectify that mistake.

The turtles are front and center in their own movie, like it should have been the first time around. Their lovable personalities are intact and come together just as excellently as ever. The results are a lot of laughs and four dudes you just can't help but root for. Sure we've seen their "we can't work together" drama brought on from their differing personalities repeated in countless forms of TMNT entertainment ad nauseam, but it's worth putting up with just to see these guys return to form on the big-screen.

The action is still CGI-fueled big spectacle. Expect to see a lot of stuff go boom. Thankfully though, despite having Michael Bay's name attached to it, this never reaches Transformers level of visual noise. With the turtles at the center of it, it's still really entertaining to watch. Even if doesn't make much sense how the side-characters are able to take out groups on ninja's without the help of the brothers. Villains like Bebop and Rocksteady make things even more exciting.

While not completely out of the woods yet, the rebooted series gets better with this sequel. The writing could still use some work, but the turtles feel more themselves. The inclusion of classic characters and elements make it a bigger hit for TMNT fans young and old, although the stronger language is not appreciated and may have some parents wanting to cover the younger watchers ears. It may still be big, Hollywood superhero absurdity, but there are enough improvements to maybe get you to slip out a cowabunga or two.

I understand what this film is trying to do, it's trying to be fun and entertaining. But it didn't do it for me thanks to the awful acting, terrible CGI and lack of anything really interesting. TMNT fans might like it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought it was better than the first. There was more of a story eventhough the movie still wasn't perfect. Shredder has very little of the scars he had in the first film with I think a very small scar on his face "from shaving ?" Steve Amell is decent as Casey Jones but the movie made him a cop who just wants to prove himself. I would have preferred if Jones looked less like Amell walked straight off the set of Arrow. Maybe make him just a little more scruffy looking.
Bebop and Rocksteady felt like they came straight out of the tv show though. So that was a plus. The Kraang was done decently but with very little backstory. Kraang just wants to take over Earth and that's it. Beats the weaker villain plot of the first film I guess.
Splinter is under-used and his character probably would have been stronger if he was once human like in the show. Karai being his daughter who was stolen and raised by Shredder was good stuff in the newer show. Without that Splinter, Shredder and Karai have nothing too engaging going on with them.
Still; I thought the movie was a big improvement over the first. My 12 yr old niece thought it was terrible though and she's a fan of the newer show. So maybe you will choose her opinion over mine lol. I however grew up with the 80's show and was a big fan of the 1990 movie. Out of the Shadows is the best since the 1990 film I think.… Expand

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" Opens The Summer Season With Style

The quartet more fun based on comics - not, they are not "The Fantastic Four" - returns to the big screen after its predecessor "Teenage Mutant Ninja"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" Opens The Summer Season With Style

The quartet more fun based on comics - not, they are not "The Fantastic Four" - returns to the big screen after its predecessor "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in the year 2014, this time, they mentally prepared in surpassing it in terms of box office and critics, possibly, they will overcome one of the objectives, as regards to the other...
Again, Michael Bay is the producer, giving us action and sense of humor characteristic of his projects, but without the seduction of films like "Transformers". It has got potential, but to be a summer blockbuster needs wit. Dave Green ("Earth to Echo") was sitting in the director's chair, without experience in the genre, but with a great debut.

The sequel includes much more the personalities of the four reptiles - "Mikey," "Leo", "Raph" and "Donnie" - to create an environment equal or at least approximate to its predecessors, especially the soul of the comics of the 1990s.

To be classified as a fantasy or Sci-Fi (Science Fiction) film, the plot must be as distanced as possible of the reality - for obvious reasons - the downside is up to what point the argument becomes stupid or too illogical. The reptiles emerge from shadows in New York to fight against the evil Shredder (Brian Tee). Villain evades death and now travels by America to acquire the three fragments of a technological artifact created by the scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry), with the purpose of obtaining the potion that made possible the mutation of the turtles. Portals, substances purple, mutated animals, fights, and the end of the world make presence in the movie starring by April O'Neil (Megan Fox), Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), and one member more, Stephen Amell - star of "Arrow" of CW - as Casey Jones. The dark side of the story is formed by Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) a wild punk boar with glasses and purple Crest and Rocksteady (Sheamus) a strong rhinoceros. All of them led by Krang (Brad Garrett), a horrible and awesome brain with tentacles that lives inside an eccentric robot, applause for the special effects, especially the effects of this nasty little.

Megan Fox is a little bit of everything here, except reporter. It is remarkable to see how the team takes advantage of having one of the women more beautiful planet on their film - scene in which she has to be near to the mobile device of the scientist - showing great sensuality and delicacy, in which children did not pay attention, but the parents perhaps do. April O'Neil helps in what can to the team, she runs, is camouflaged, shout and fight, a powerful woman.

Shows of its loyalty towards comics, turtles do not explore beyond New York, proving that a big summer blockbuster does not need Europe or Asia to entertain.

Like a great regular movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" offers cheap entertainment but enjoyable, explosions, car chases and any fight that you imagine are the sequel. We are entering the summer season, where watch a film that stand out in its genre is almost impossible, turtles do not bring nothing new to the adventures world, however, with a soda glass and popcorn, the best you can do is watch it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Awesome and very amazing movie, even better than first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but I think TMNT 2014 very amazing, awesome and good film with explosive storyline and good special effects . TMNT Out of The Shadows (movie) made by TMNT Out of the Shadows (Game 2013s), but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows (Game) is suck and fuuuuuuck compared with movie, movie TMNT Out of the Shadows is amazing, even better than Deadpool although it is true understandably, after all TMNT Out of the Shadows even better than TMNT 2014, a TMNT 2014 is much better than Deadpool, but Deadpool is amazing too . I think TMNT and TMNT Out of the Shadows one of the best movies of all time! I think
to understand that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles necessary have to look TMNT 2014 because TMNT Out of the Shadows is continue for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 . In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saved the world from Shreder, in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Police driven Shreder in prison, but Stockman and foot clan help him to escape and in this movie appear Rocksteady and Bibop and Shreder mutates them with a liquid, in this movie appear Casey Johns and saved April O'neil when she stolen liquid after as Shredder mutates Rocksteady and Bebop, eventualy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles left out of the shadows and people noticed them and learned that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles saved the world and last time, Shredder betrayed Stockman, but Kreng betrayed Shredder, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles won Kreng, they are given a key from city and the film ends on good note of this . Amazing Film . 10/10… Expand

Out of the shadows again may have Michael Bay action but now it's more entertaining than the previous one,It's silly but at the same time fantastic.
The Movie suffers from it's story,it's so confusing and ridiculous,the pacing is sometimes bad and the visual effects sometimes looks fake.

Brainless fun is what I describe from this film,you need to turn off your brain if your watching,like I did,and you will be entertained,if not you'll get annoyed and constantly asking questions throughout the film even the movie has a lot of problems like stupid moments,again a lazy written plot,dull humor but I was just entertained.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out of The shadows is not endearing,engaging,it lacks intelligence accompanied with a lazily written plot,without the feeling of effort in to it but instead a fun stupid kid's movie which is surprising,I've never liked the first one but I like this and my feelings are positive.I'm Just Completely surprised… Expand

فیلم در تنوع شخصیت های منفی فوق العاده شلخته عمل کرده است و بهتر است از دو شخصیت کلاسیک کمیک های لاک پشت ها شروع کنم...یعنی، راک استدی و بی باپ(rocksteady and bebop) ! بر خلاف تصور خیلی از کسانی که هنوز فیلم را ندیده اند باید بگویم ورژنی که ما از راک استدی و بی باپ میبینیم خیلی هم تحفه ای نیست! ورژن انسانی راک استدی و بی باپ به اندازه ای غیر قابل تحمل هستند که به شخصه ممکن بود در سکانس فرار این دو از ون حمل زندانیان بالا بیاورم! اما زمانی که ما ورژن جهش یافته ی راک استدی و بی باپ را میبینیم کمی روی این زخم شعله ور از آه و اندوه خراب شدن خاطراتمان با کمیک های TMNT آب سرد ریخته میشود! در کل میتوان ورود راک استدی و بی باپ به داستان را اتفاقی خوب تلقی کرد و لا اقل مایکل بی را در این یک مورد سرزنش نکرد! شخصیت "دکتر بکستر استاکمن" (baxter stickman) در فیلم با نوسان شخصیتی معرفی میشود، یعنی در صحنه های ابتدایی ما او را به عنوان یک دکتر پر جذبه و درجه یک میبینیم! چیزی که صد درصد مخالف شخصیت واقعی بکستر استاکمن است و ما در اواسط فیلم با همان بکستر استاکمن نابغه اما منزوی روبرو میشویم و نقش آفرینی بازیگر این نقش یعنی "تایلر پری" (Tyler Perry) هم در نقش بکستر استاکمن بی نقص و قابل قبول است و حضور بکستر استاکمن در فیلم را به عنوان نکته ای مثبت نشان میدهد! درست برعکس حضور شریدر! شریدری که مایکل بی از قسمت قبل به گند کشیدنش را شروع کرد در این قسمت هم حضوری کوتاه دارد و بعد از اینکه زمان فرارش از زندان به dimension-x منتقل میشود در عرض یک دقیقه با شخصیت "کرنگ" (Kang) تفاوق میکند تا سیاره زمین را نابود کند و بار دیگر نشان میدهد که فیلم های مایکل بی در به گند کشیدن منبع اقتباسشان حرف اول را میزنند! (البته عده ای معتقند که اسم مادر شریدر و کرنگ "مارتا" بوده و این به خودی خود دلیل محکمی برای هم پیمان شدن فوق سریعشان است! و این نکته کماکان در دست بررسی است!)
فکر کنم باید پرونده ی شخصیت های منفی این فیلم را با شخصیت کرنگ ببندیم! شخصیت کرنگ در داستان فقط به عنوان عنصر تهدید کننده ی زمین استفاده شده است و هدف و یا Backup Story خاصی درباره ی کرنگ داستان بیان نمیشود!. صحنه های اکشن فیلم به رسم فیلم های دیگر مایکل بی از شلوغی بی موردی برخوردار اند و تنها دو یا سه صحنه ی اکشن واقعا مهیج در فیلم وجود دارد که البته خالی از ایراد هم نیستند! به نظر من این شلوغی بیش از حد بخاطر اندازه ی غول آسایی است که مایکل بی در این دو فیلمش به کالبد لاک پشت ها بخشیده است، زیرا در تمام صحنه های لاک پشت ها مانند یک هالک (Hulk) نمایش داده میشوند و در صحنه های جنگ آنها با بی باپ و راک استدی این سوال پیش می آید که: "آیا این نره غول ها در داستان های TMNT بوده اند که اینگونه روی پرده ی نقره ای اقتباس شده اند؟!" در آخر باید بگویم قسمت دوم لاکپشت های نینجا تلاش مذبوهانه ی مایکل بی برای استفاده از درآمد غیر منتظره ی قسمت قبل است تا اثری "خفن" به تماشاگران تحویل بدهد! اما بیننده ها دیگر با اندام فوق العاده ی مگان فاکس یا صحنه های اکشن شلوغ خام نمی شوند!!!… Expand

This is a movie looking to provide fun, and that is exactly what it provides--fun! It never takes itself too seriously, and as a result it remains true to what it should be. Not high art, but plenty of fun to be had.
