Slighty better but forced and flawed!

Watched TMNT (2007 animation) - good in design, but the story was one dimensional. No character development for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) - 4/10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is a slight improvement - 6/10. I think this franchise is strictly for kids!

Though predictable as the first one but if you like the acts of Mike, Donna, Leo and Ralph, you would definitely like the movie. Action doesn't involve much of martial arts as the first one but the scale is bigger.

To say that Out of the Shadows was a total flop wouldn't be fair. Even if by a small margin, Out of the Shadows is an improvement over the first film. There are still some major fixes I wish could be made to help improve this franchise which got off to a very rocky start two years ago and is crawling its way to improvement.

Next time, the producers should go for a reboot instead of going for the third installment and making it an unnecessary forced trilogy!
