Heroes in a half shell, Turtle Power

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows was the live-action of the 1980s cartoon. I grew up watching that cartoon so I did watch this film with a smile on my face. It was a fun child friendly action film, even if it has a 12 rating in the UK.

Out of the Shadows ditched the more Michael Bay aspects of the previous film of the previous film, i.e. The sexual humour. The most that happened on that front was April O'Neill changing disguises. It was also a soft reboot since it had to bring in more cartoon elements, like making Shredder a more prominent character. The Turtles were the main characters, their conflicts were on display and they all had a chance to shine.

There were some strong action sequences, like the Turtles trying to stop Shredder's jailbreak and the action in Brazil. There was also more of emphasis on child friend humour and slapstick.

It was basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon in live-action.
