** Bebop and Rocksteady are considered the best standouts in the movie due their mutant designs, chemistry with each other, their [[Heterosexual Life Partners bromance]], and having the funniest moments in the movie.

** Climactically, the film's big battle was between the Turtles and [[spoiler: Krang]] high in the air while April's battle took somewhere below. Six years later, WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheMovie was released and we're treated to [[spoiler: the Turtles fighting Krang One high in the air while April fights Krang Two somewhere on the ground]].

It was actually Bebop.


* NauseaFuel: When Bebop and Rocksteady are eating spaghetti messily out of oil drums, Rocksteady decides to finish up by slurping a long spaghetti noodle in through his ears and through his nostrils down into his mouth.

* PopularWithFurries: While the first movie was relatively quiet from this part of the internet, due to the UncannyValley design of the Turtles and general lack of other mutant characters besides Splinter, this movie's versions of Bebop and Rocksteady still enjoy quite a lot of popularity. Mostly due to their designs, with [[LeatherMan their clothing]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene leaving little to the imagination]], as well as [[CursedWithAwesome seemingly embracing their sudden transformations]]. Overlaps a bit with LGBTFanbase, due to their [[BaraGenre heavyset designs]] and [[HoYay tender, borderline romantic relationship with each other]].

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Hoo boy... The Turtles fell into this ''hard'', with complaints about their looks being first and foremost among fans of all types.
** It gets worse in the comic-style cutscenes. The Turtles just look a little...off...with their realistic looks drawn in a stylistic comic book way.
** Just as in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 show this is loosely based on]], the Krangs' disguises [[InvokedTrope are meant to highlight this effect]], looking very fake.

** The amount of characters and references from the 1987 series. While some appreciate the fact that beloved characters such as Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady finally came over to the big screen, others see it as simply PanderingToTheBase and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters overcrowding the movie]], due to the writers relying too heavily on nostalgic callbacks in order to force the fan's approval.

** Casey Jones is depicted as a police officer in this movie, spending very little time with his iconic mask. The crossover comic ''ComicBook/BatmanTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles III'' also has him be a police officer at first, but he regains his usual thug persona and wears his mask more often once his amnesia is cured.

** A lot of the times when Casey is trying to be serious, which are undermined by both the cliché dialogue Casey is given (his "soon I'll be detective!" speech early on being a good example), and Stephen Amell's odd decision to try and over-act the role. Doesn't help that he's had the bizarre backstory change of becoming a rookie cop instead of a delinquent vigilante.



** Stephen Amell was considered too off for Casey Jones.

** Stephen Amell was considered too off for Casey Jones. Casey is an extroverted character with a [[LargeHam certain level of ham to him]], while Stephen Amell is an actor who's talents work better for playing a [[TheStoic restrained and stoic character]]; Amell's [[Series/{{Arrow}} most famous role]] gave his character an AdaptationalPersonalityChange that worked for his talents, but despite having a different backstory here, Casey is still written to be the loudmouth jabrony as before, making Amell's portrayal of him stand out even more.

* PortingDisaster: The PC version has no graphical options outside of changing the screen resolution, a bug that doesn't allow players to exit from menus forcing them to close the game by other means, co-op not working at all if you use private lobbies or invite friends, the turtles getting stuck during gameplay and many other problems.

** The third is a very updated look for Krang's android body, with sleek lines, articulated hands and no familiar face, though the living brain is still situated in the machine's stomach.

* PanderingToTheBase: With the introduction of Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady, the Turtle Van, the Foot clan being ninjas, the redesign of the turtles, and the introduction of Krang, some people feel that the movie is simply aiming for nostalgia factor and little else. See JustHereForGodzilla above. Given that the end credits play a cover of the 1980's cartoon's theme, it seems pretty obvious this was in effect.

* NightmareFuel: Krang. Just the Krang.
** The Krang concept art by Krichevsky has a decidedly darker tone than the animated series.
** The first design has some throwback flair, showing the alien warlord brain in the belly of a large android with glowing blue eyes. Of course, this looks similar to the one used in the original animated series that ran from 1987 to 1996, but with a more sinister feel. After that is a set of metal legs/tentacles, with Krang riding atop them.

** However, Garrett [[HaveWeMet previously worked on comedy projects with Krang's original voice actor]], Creator/PatFraley, so it would make sense that while he wouldn't necessarily perform with the right pitch, he at least got the sarcastic, blubbering, and bouncy aspect of Krang's voice down.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Stephen Amell was well-received when it was revealed he would play Casey Jones, but there have been some complaints over his lack of a resemblance to the character, namely that instead of the medium-length hairstyle Casey has been known for in most incarnations, the trailer shows him to maintain a close-cropped style. [[note]]This may be justified given that Amell needs the short haircut to play Oliver Queen in Arrow, in fact having to use a wig whenever they do the flashbacks to show a much less groomed Oliver. And also because filming for season 3 of Arrow only ended in the same month that filming for ''Out of the Shadows'' started.[[/note]] [[spoiler:The fact that Casey Jones is a police officer in this film, and thus would probably have a shorter, closer to regulation, haircut is probably a good reason for it canonically.]]

** Instead of having the mutagen simply mutate animals and humans who came in contact with them into human-animal hybrids, the movie tries to explain that it "mutates humans into the animals they've evolved from".

** The completely gratuitous shot of April [[BareYourMidriff bearing her midriff]] for no apparent reason got quite a few groans, with many suspecting ExecutiveMeddling on Creator/MichaelBay's part. It doesn't help that pretty much every trailer used the scene.
** Creator/MeganFox's performance once again leaves something to be desired, and often looks either mildly confused or just bored.
** Instead of having a traditionally high and undulating voice, Krang now has the baritones of Creator/BradGarrett. Instead of sounding like a comedic villain that could be taken seriously in the right situations, the overlord of Dimension X now sounds like [[Franchise/PowerRangers Goldar]].
