Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
This rocks! Takes the TMNT concept and makes it more than just a silly action movie. It’s a story about outcasts and acceptance, about parents and children, all things that fit TMNT perfectly but has not really been explored in the movies until now. The characters are heaps of fun and play off each other very well. Normally I’m annoyed when movies try to be young and hip, but this is a good crack at it, especially knowing that some of the teen dialogue was improvised by real teens. I must mention the animation, which is absolutely spectacular. 79
Stylised and like a kids sketchbook and kinda ugly but in a purposeful way. I love that mainstream Western animation is finally moving on from the clean CG aesthetic popularised by Pixar and Disney, which can still be great don’t get me wrong, but there should always been more ways to animate. The score by <PERSON> and <PERSON> rips, it might honestly be one of their better ones. Yeah, I kinda loved this movie, and I’m close to giving it a 9/10. Just a good time. 252
