Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out Of The Shadows (2016) 8/10

Starring : Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Laura Linney, Stephen Amell, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, Alan Ritchson, Brian Tee, Tyler Perry, Tony Shalhoub, Brad Garrett
Director : Dave Green
Running Time : 113 mins

Following the defeat of the evil Shredder (Tee), a defeat that the public don’t realise was thanks to them, the turtles find themselves in even more danger when they discover that a scientist named Baxter Stockman (Perry) is planning on helping Shredder escape prison. The escape goes wrong and Shredder is teleported to another dimension where he meets evil warlord Krang (Garrett) who decides to come to our dimension and take over the earth.

I actually thought this was better than the 2014 movie. Fans of the cartoon will enjoy the far more tongue in cheek approach in this, though Tyler Perry goes a little too far with the comedy (and yes, his character was originally black – it was the cartoon that got him wrong). The plot is a lot more coherent and the actors seem more at home this time around. Definitely worth watching, even if you didn’t think much of the last movie.
