13 Reasons Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Was The Stupidest 2014 Movie

3. The Switcheroo That Never Happened

In the ultimate battle between old man Shredder and the Turtles, which somehow changes the villain's power and ability to fight from utterly invincible to vulnerable to normal kicks and punches because the Turtles do some sort of leapfrog routine, good inevitably triumphs over evil. The metal monster ends up falling off a very high building, and leaving a crater in the tarmac below, all while clutching the only vial of antidote/mutagen taken from Turtles' blood, which smashes and disintegrates in his hand. The film is very clear about that: there's an importance adding shot of the vial in his hand, all oozy and smushed, signifying an end to his dastardly plan. And that feeling lasts all of about three seconds, as the very next shot is of the Turtles administering the same mutagen to almost dead Splinter, which brings him back to life (ignore the science that he's literally made of the same stuff though, because that confuses things). Apparently, the vial wasn't as smashed as it definitely looked just a minute ago.
