TMNT: Mutant Mayhem: Turtley Lit! (FILM REVIEW)

It's time once again for the next generation of people to meet these iconic teen heroes from the sewers, yes the team are back together with fresh outfits, designs, voices and stories with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem!
TMNT: MM is directed by Jeff Rowe and produced by Seth Rogen and stars Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Paul Rudd, Post Malone, John Cena, Seth Rogen, Giancarlo Espisito, Rose Byrne, Hannibal Buress and Maya Randolph. Oh, but wait that's just the star cast you know, HOWEVER the voices of the Turtles were actually done by teens! Leo - Nicolas Cantu, Raphael - Brady Noon, Michaelangelo - Shamon Brown Jr. & finally Donatello - Micah Abbey.

The story is about how after years of being sheltered from the human world, the Turtle brothers set out to win the hearts of New Yorkers and be accepted as normal teenagers through heroic acts. Their new friend April O’Neil helps them take on a mysterious crime syndicate, but they soon get in over their heads when an army of mutants is unleashed upon them.

This film's animation style is so unique, and it fits it all so well and just saying it now, but I want more of this universe and cast in this turtley awesome series of films. We have a lit soundtrack featuring a lot of classic gangsta rap to some modern and meme songs even haha. The dialect is modern between the Turtles as this is set in modern day New York and of course they are voiced by real life teens, and they all know each other and played off each other so well in the film. I was unsure about this film working when it was all announced but then the trailer hit, and I was sold, I thought it was pretty funny and looked interesting enough for me to take a chance and put doubts aside, and I AM GLAD I DID, THIS FILM IS AWESOME!!!! 

Everything in it worked so well, and I was hooked and so impressed, and I was dying with laughter several times. There is a puke joke they spend a bit too much time with that you know will bother some other people too, but that's literally the only negative I have for this film. The after credits made me want the next film there and then because OH MY GOD!

9/10

TMNT: MM is a turtley awesome adventure full of heart and humour with the longing for acceptance in yourself and your talents that will make you have a good time watching with no energy drinks required. The cast and music and fight scenes and animation are all amazing and this needs to be seen by more people.

Please see this instead of The Meg 2!
