In a world full of sequels, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was certainly one of the least memorable and engaging of the bunch. At two hours long, the film was underwhelming, the action dull, and the dialogue just shy of being extremely cringe-worthy. Arrow star Stephen Amell, armed with a hockey stick, joins Megan Fox in this unenjoyable sequel, Tyler Perry wears a bow-tie and is sort of a villain, and there is something called the “purple ooze.” Mostly, the turtles spend the entire movie fighting and hiding in the shadows, something that got tiring really fast. On top of that, the film is far too silly to work on either a nostalgic or entertaining level. –Mae Abdulbaki
