TDKR should've been two films. Split at the point when Bane broke everyone out of prison. The story they were trying to tell was incredible but it was all too rushed.

How awesome would it have been if they made another. Was never gonna happen though as I think they were sick of it.
Edit: They have locked it a sequel to this though havent they

They should've made the Knightfall trilogy - it's amazing.
Should do the Death and Life of Superman as well.

Not another, I like the fact they told a story with a beginning, middle and end. Just that the story of TDKR deserved more time to be told.
Any films about Knightfall, Long Halloween or the Death and Life would have me in a state of geek heaven.
That was part of my disappointment - they ruined Bane; but it wasn't Bane - there was no need for Bane to be in the movie, it could've been any generic bad guy.
You guys heard about this theory that Bane was in fact a Hero?
Yes. Very interesting take. But I don't believe it.
Haha me neither but I thought it was a pretty interesting take.

Why in Gods name was Hamato Yoshi written out of it?
What a terrible film.

I cant believe that got airtime. The first sentence was that Bane believes in Batman. Then why the * was he so suprised when he saw batmans symbol? Honestly.

Just watched this, wasn't as bad as I thought, but was still not that great. Reeked of Michael Bay unfortunately, nearly every scene has dumbshit lens blurring/flaring distracting from what was happening.
I also just watched this.. ******* terrible and it made me angry that they ruined a childhood favourite of mine. Just seemed like another crappy Bay action movie. -20/10

I'm just going to leave this news here....

Finally got around to seeing it....
Not enough character development at all on the turtles... splinter was a hairy penis... we know virtually bugger all about the Shredder, yet we are being forced to give a crap when he shows up in armour... Megan Fox as April was barely eye candy... too much CGI for my liking and some of the effects were just over the top... the avalanche scene was ridiculous
My love for the 1990 original grew even more after watching Bay's installment.

In the session I saw this movie everyone in the cinema laughed at Megan Fox's first acting scene it was that bad.
A movie based heavily on the lore of the original 80s/90s cartoon would have pulled on the nostalgic strings quite well.
New York City is gripped by crime forcing the turtles of the sewers to come out and play vigilante heroes. In one particular save, they protect April from an attack by a bunch of thugs to shut her up about her reports on the crime wave, and taker her back to their lair. However, two of the thugs, Bebop and Rocksteady, manage to follow their attackers in secret and track them down to their lair in the sewer... and are shocked to discover a humanoid rat mentoring four humanoid turtles...
The obligatory introduction of April to the turtles takes place at the lair...
Splinter describes that he is Hamato Yoshi from Japan and was an honorable member of the Foot Clan before Oruku Saki began to politic his way towards the top of the organization. Seeing Yoshi as a threat and obstacle to allow Saki to take full control of the clan for his own selfish (criminal goals), Saki convinces the majority of the clan to open up a new chapter of the Foot Clan in New York City and through deceptive means, "forces" Yoshi to move there and do the hard yards in setting up the new chapter there. Yoshi goes, reluctantly, with the move now allowing Saki to take full ownership of the Foot Clan in Japan. After an unexplained rise as a force in the streets of Tokyo and other Japanese cities, the now criminal organization attains enough funds to fully expand into New York City, by taking over the chapter that was established by Yoshi and driving him out of the Foot Clan all together, forcing Yoshi to flee the organizations and hide in the New York dark, alone and homeless... he befriends the rats in the sewers, meets some new unlikely friends in the turtles (four random turtles that happen to be washed away into the sewers by a kid taking them from a pet store and losing them on the way home). Then Yoshi discovers one day that his lair is covered in the ooze, and incidentally, so does he... Turtles grow humanoid, while Yoshi turns into a humanoid rat. Splinter, knowing the ninja arts, teaches his turtles students and gives them names based on famous artists of the Renaissance.... yada yada yada
Meanwhile Rocksteady and Bebop inform their leader Saki, now known as Shredder basing himself underground at the Technodrome, about the beings they had just come across, describing their fighting style. Shredder, not wanting to believe of the possibility that Hamato Yoshi still lives, sends a unit of what are now clearly robotic (not human) Foot Soldiers to go to the lair and kidnap Splinter while the turtles are away from the lair taking April back to her apartment. Shredder then studies Splinter and they exchange words. Shredder realizes the mutagen's effects, and decides to create mutants of his own... changing Bebop and Rocksteady to the mutants we know and love. Soon after, the turtles soon discover that Splinter is missing, but find their way to the Technodrome where Shredder explains that his attempt in killing Yoshi 15 years ago with the unproven substance he obtained at the Techndrome actually caused the creation of the mutants, and explains that it was he who had effectively created how the turtles really are today, offers them to side with him as part of the Foot Clan, explaining that the Techndrome is a battle station that is on the brink of opening a portal to the dimension from which it came from, opening up a pathway to an abundance of resources and power that can be used to the take over/crush planet Earth. The turtles obviously turn down the offer and rescue Splinter... but a big fight takes place within the Technodrome with foot soldiers as well as Bebop/Rocksteady hot on their tale trying to prevent them from escaping.... eventually Donatello confirms the technical capabilities of the Tehcnodrome, that it can move between dimensional portals and is able to override the the battle station's central system so that it can be sent back to whatever Dimension it came from. The turtles eventually escape with Splinter as the Technodrome gets sent back to its home Dimension (Dimension X) with Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady in it.
Two sequels would follow... the first sequel would primarily take place in Dimension X and would introduce Krang, while the third of the trilogy would take place back on Earth in New York and Japan with the turtles trying to destroy their enemies on home turf once and for all.

What the FIICK did Megan Fox do to her face?
Why get plastic surgery when you're already pretty.
Why get plastic surgery when you're already pretty.
Went in with low expectations and it still failed to meet them.
Was expecting an idiotic plot and overblown CGI with no characterization, what surprised me is how unlikeable most of the characters were, how tedious and poorly choreographed the action sequences were and how ugly the whole movie was. Three specific gripes.
-Shredder was just a random CGI bad guy from the random CGI bad guy casting agency, there was nothing remotely distinctive about him from appearance, to motivation, to plan.
- the fight scenes were atrociously shot and choreographed. If nothing else you would hope a movie about ninja turtles would have some good fight scenes, instead we got a lot of blurs, close shots and choppy vision to compensate for the fact that the director and producers have no clue how to actually film entertaining martial arts sequences.
-the turtles were devoid of personality or character or anything remotely likable. And they looked s**t. And the foot clan were the least intimidating and least impressive set of henchmen ever. How exactly is it that the city can't cope with a fairly standard group of criminals committing standard armed criminal crimes?
In summary, an ugly, boring and moronic film, devoid of charm of any entertainment factor.
This might sound like a slightly left field call given what he's done to the hobbit, but I reckon peter jackson would have been the right director to smash this film out of the park. For all his flaws he understands how to do entertaining cgi fight sequences and quality villains, and that is really all this film needed.
