10 Upcoming Sequels And Reboots That Will Destroy Your Faith In Cinema
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2
“In one way, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a triumph for producer Michael Bay,” claimed Rolling Stone magazine. “It is equally as godawful as his Transformers: Age Of Extinction and a hit nonetheless... it’s hard to stomach the Bay contempt for audiences."
So bland was the reboot, in fact, that you could’ve substituted fighting robots for mutated turtles and the audience would ‘ve said, “Yeah, whatever.” It followed the same beats as a Transformers movie, with Megan Fox uncovering the existence of a group of wisecracking heroes who are all that stand between her and a pantomime villain.
Due for release in June 2016, TMNT 2 will follow the template established by Bay for Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen – louder, longer, and more mechanical, with jokes you can hear landing with a thud every five minutes.
