It might be "bad" but it's the best TMNT movie since the 1990 movie. A lot of people I know who hate the first film LOVED the 2nd. The hit the cheesiness of the 80's cartoon. A lot of non-fan people commented on passing because it looked cheesy and stupid.

Nearly everyone who went with us to see the film was surprised it actually ended up being fun and entertaining rather than brooding. Not to mention they actually had character development.

I never watched it coz I don't care about MMPR, but I remember a LOT flack was given to it for being cheesier than the tv show, which says a lot.

Nevertheless, I'm sick and tired of boring looking super villains. Give me some damn costumes or don't do those characters at all!

BTW, Taskmaster looks like a Cobra Ranger Viper.

Spider-Verse wasn't cheesy, and was definitely NOT cartoon/comics accurate. Green Goblin the Dragon? It's definitely the closest to Pixar a non-Pixar film has ever gotten.

Dredd was so cheesy it could have been made by Kraft. I love the movie. It's beyond Star Wars in it's cheesiness. Silly dialog, clichés EVERYWHERE...

Personally, I think Marvel has made EXCELLENT choices for villains character costumes. Loki was a PERFECT blend of comics and a realistic look. Ultron was great. Mandarin LOOKED great, but the story failed on that one, etc. Glad I didn't have to suffer with Klaw in tights, monkey suits, Zola the walking microwave, Malekith the Rainbow wearer, etc. Can't wait to see the MCU version of Dr. Doom. I know he won't look like 15th century armor.
