This was really good! It's a great continuation of the show, which was underrated and passed by many.
I'm a giant turtles fan. I've watched all the different series and read the comics. Although Rise, in my opinion, stands under the 2012 and 2003 series, it's still an amazing series. It took a while for it to reach its full potential, only doing so right at its end, but this movie continues with that momentum and carries it through.
It angers me that so many people trash anything with the turtles that doesn't look and copy the 1987 cartoon series. I grew up with that show and it is nostalgic, but it is by far the worst iteration of the turtles. If you don't believe me, go back and try watching it now like I did recently.
I will say, having watched the show beforehand probably made me like it even more, as it does take a bit to get used to how different the series is than normal turtle lore. But even so, it's well worth the watch for a real turtles fan.
