Out of these two movies adapted from 80s cartoons for kids, which do you think was the better adaptation.
SPOILERS
TMNT had a good main plot with the turtles, and the backstory with Splinter and Shredder I felt. But the subplots with the police chief, and April being fired, then re-hired, I felt didn't really go anywhere, or add anything. I also felt that Shredder and the foot clan could have had more ambitious criminal plans, when all they were doing were stealing electronics mostly it seemed.
With Transformers, I like a lot of the moments in the movie, but I felt that it could have been more about the transformers, and they are pushed into the background by the human characters.
The Transformers are also hard to watch in the sense of how their faces are animated, as there is so much design in their faces, that it's hard actually see their faces, if that makes sense. The turtles had facial expressions that were much easier to read.
I also felt that the movie had too many goodlooking women in the movie, to the point of where it was really obvious, and felt forced. I guess I can be okay with that in The Fast and the Furious, but for some reason it bothered me in a Transformers movie. Is that a double standard for me?
They are both kind of good, kind of not, but I think I would have to give the slight edge to TMNT. What do you think?
