Personally, this was a amazing movie, and one of the few recent movies that generally made me laugh. Combined with an amazing choice of music, cast, and animation, made this one of my favorite animated films. def recommend it to others
I went to a pre-screening of this like months before it came out, and afterwards they were like "Was there anything that wasnt in the movie that you would have liked to see?" And I raised my hand and said. "I wanted to hear Michelangelo say "Cowabunga"!" And the host was like "does anyone else agree?" And everyone in the focus group raised their hands. They added it into the movie. You're welcome 😎. Also Seth Rogen was super nice :)
Mutant Mayhem actually follows up on the theme from Rise. Rise had a LOT of focus on the concept of family unison and how important it is for family to stick together, and Mutant Mayhem complies with that. And they also manage to do this without throwing away how the Turtles are ninjas beating up criminals. Family is a huge theme in TMNT.
I still hold thebopinion that if it wasn't for Rise, MM wouldnt exist. Rise arguably failed because of its risks (paired withbother favtors likenits awful airtime slot and marketing) and without those risks and evaluatiilng how the fandom actually loved those risks, they wouldnt have dared to do something so dradtic just 5 years later. MM is so worth is I love the movie and the series, although i do miss the movie artsyle a bit but thats unreasonable
It was a fun ride! The only thing I'd have liked to see more was the turtles saving individuals at the climax battle of the movie, that way the humans would have more connections to the turtles, like how the Spider people saved people at the bridge scene in Across the Spider-Verse. I liked that Splinter felt more like a dad instead of just a master.
I was 6 when the 1990 came out and it was the first movie I can remember being crazy hyped for because I was already familiar with TMNT from the cartoon. I was skeptical about this movie, because I wasn't a fan of the voices when i saw the trailer but I gotta be honest, from the opening scene on, I was locked in. It's crazy how fast I forgot about any skepticism i had going in. It really was that god damn good. Minus a few little gripes I have with certain little things they changed with their dynamic with Splinter and parts of their origin, that I felt was not necessary to change but ultimately it doesn't matter. Overall I'd give it a 8.7/10 and would not argue with someone if they liked this more than Spiderverse. I actually liked this animation style a bit more
True. I think turtles forever isn't underrated because people talk about it all the time but rise is amazing, the show is ok but the movie is just pure 👌. Also I really enjoyed mutant mayhem
what i personally love most about this movie is that they are teenagers. Not amazing heroes. They use gen z slang which is yes, cringe, but it makes it so much more realistic. They are just teenagers not these amazing heroes. Another point that people use to hate them is that they are more similar and they don't fit into there normal architypes. Like michelangelo being the goofster. But normal people aren't that one dimensional, they are not being one type of charecter.
I've always loved the goofiness of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. To me, TMNT has always felt like a celebration of comic book heroes, and its goofiness is a testiment to how much it embraces the comic books they're inspired by. That's probably one of my bigger issues with the 2014 film. It just feels like it's trying to be Transformers on a smaller scale.
People think that TMNT should just be serious and nothing more, but when something is too serious it's very boring. And remember, this franchise started as a joke between two friends which ended up becoming a comic that was supposed to be a parody of superheroes and ninjas! In other words, TMNT as a concept is ridiculous, in execution it is incredible! The film being more comical and light is not a problem, since the first TMNT Cartoon was exactly what the hardcore fans were revealing with this film! TMNT from 87 was a more childish and lighter version of the comics, without the violence and swearing, it was for a younger audience and to sell toys, of course it wouldn't be something too heavy for the time!
I literally just watched this movie a few hours ago, and I completely agree with you. This movie really captured the magic of what makes the whole series so much fun
There’s more adaptations besides the 80’s cartoon and the 90’s movies. I’d recommend the 2003 tv series for like the first 5 seasons. Watch the other seasons if you want to be a completionist, but your enjoyment may vary. I personally enjoy them, but not as much as seasons 1-5. The 2012 CG series has some good moments but tends to drag its feet. Rise has some top tier animation, but tends to lean more into comedy compared to the shows that came before. Especially in the first season. But once it picks up speed and gets into the action, it’s a wild ride.
Rise would definitely have been even better if it had the chance to have more than two seasons. The creators confirmed several things they wanted to explore that now only serve as inspiration for fans to make fanfics of what these stories would be. Rise was very unfair, and if it was treated less badly by the "fans" and by Nickelodeon, the show would be as good as Lego Monkie Kid, their sister series! Especially considering how similar the first seasons of both shows feel.
I really like how this version of the TMNT that doesn't have the origin of the turtles tied to the Footclan or the Shredder. Superfly is an excellent villain for this movie. He's similar and contrasts the turtles in such a good way. He understands their struggles but decides to fight the problem in a radical way. Also, I really like how it shows that the whole point of the turtle becoming ninja is to steal food in NY instead of fighting the foot clan.
"I really like how this version of the TMNT that doesn't have the origin of the turtles tied to the Footclan or the Shredder." So in other words....one of the main things that makes them the Ninja Turtles (it's why they were NINJAs and trained in that style in the very first place), you're glad is gone...Ok...sure.
@@ramboraph4life The thing is, it works in this version. Previous versions focus a lot on them being Ninja turtles that they didn't explore what's like to be a Teenage Mutant. They explore what's like to be an outcast at the age that you just want to fit in, this is a very relatable topic for the target audience of this franchise. Just think about it, almost anyone can relate to being a Teenage out cast but how can you relate to being a Ninja turtle? Superfly is the perfect villain for this theme as he went through the same pain as the turtles but instead of trying harder to fit in, he decided to force the same pain onto the world
This film was a nice blend of different TMNT eras. From the original comics to the 80s show to the 2003 series. It felt like a great pastiche of all those iterations. The turtles feel like actual teenaged brothers and their camaraderie and friendship with April is the heartbeat of the film. The plot moves along at a brisk pace with an effective touch that satisfyingly builds to its conclusion in a way that evokes the heart of the movie. I’m a little disappointed about the separation between Splinter and the Turtles from Shredder in their origin, but I get it. The separation does allow this film to focus on other aspects beyond Shredder and allows them to build up to him later. But I do miss the Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki (Shredder) connection.
This was already on my radar due to the visual style and director/writers, but I didn’t know the score was by Reznor/Ross! This has gone from a “want to see” to a “MUST see” for me. Excellent review! Gives me stuff to look forward to, but I didn’t get the sense I was being spoiled beyond the promos that have already been released.
Animated Shows: TMNT 1987 -- Classic -- YET FLAWED TMNT 2003 -- Masterpiece...FOR THE Seasons 1 - 5.. I LOVE Seasons 6 - 7 TMNT 2012 -- Masterpiece.. MY FAV SHOW AND INCARNATION.. FUCK I LOVE THIS Rise OF THE TMNT 2018 -- Lovable.. Unique.. And Misunderstood
yeah i can’t get over that either. i have 0 nostalgia for the movie and still think they look convincing. the fact that he also lumped them in with the much weaker costumes used in the sequels was wild to me. but to each his own i guess
@@crunchy1547 this channel been posting tons of Ls lately. That misguided as fuck Barbenheimer video, the really poorly reasoned MI7 video, and now disregarding some of the best practical effects ever in independent American film. You don't need to be a fan to know those suits are incredible. For a low budget independent production to design and produce those suits where intricate martial arts choreography can be performed...it's stunning working.
@@lwrider10andhisstuff52 The suits are just as incredible in the 2nd film, maybe even more impressive because they were able to streamline the process. I prefer the head and facial designs of the original film, but Secret of the Ooze is an awesome clinic in suit performance and design. Turtles 3? Yea, big downgrade. And I can't hold a failed TV show from the 90s against theatrical releases. And for the time, the Next Mutation suits really aren't that bad as effects in and of themselves. Their character designs are just lacking.
This honestly might be my favourite TMNT movie as the teenage voice actors truly make these characters feel organic and even ironically humanized in a way that makes you love them and want to see them grow. I also love the animation and how it feels messy and filthy in a good way that really resonates with the characters and story. I really love the ending especially, seeing how the turtles and mutants are actually accepted by humanity and get a chance to live semi normal lives so early in their carers is such a bold and beautiful arc that is very refreshing for the Turtles. I'm especially excited for the implications of what their lives will be like in the sequel and what Shredder will be like as he appears to be less of a crime leader and more of a bounty hunter, similar to Kraven the Hunter and it's be gut wrenching to see the Turtles and Mutants all get hunted down by Shredder
This movie was awesome! I really suggest watching the first TMNT movie from the 90s too btw it's one of the best TMNT movies out there just like Mutant Mayhem! I really liked how this movie didn't directly villanize any character and made all their goals and morals understandable. Nobody is cartoonishly evil they're just people who've been hurt. People who are shunjed because they're different and want to be apart of something bigger but just can't have it.

The part that I really wished got addressed is that Superfly had a human as a dad (though him wanting to use humans for entertainment does soften that a bit), and that it would be incredibly hypocritical for him to overthrow the humans. But if the “love over hate” route is the path that the Rowe-Rogen movies want to go for their interpretation of TMNT, I’m all for it, especially when Shredder was a villain driven by hate in the original comics and will appear in the next movie.
@@mackielunkey2205I think it's a similar thing to how Splinter says "the weapon will destroy the earth and the only good human, April." Superfly probably sees Baxter as the one single exception to the horribleness of the human race in his eyes
It was one of my mosts anticipated movies of this year, and goddamn, it didn't disappoint ! Just from the trailers, I could tell this movie was gonna be special ! I specifically love how the art style derivates not only from Spiderverse, but sometimes is even reminiscent of studio Aardman (Wallace and Gromit), of all places.
I am gonna be honest i never actually liked the idea the turtles revealing themselves to the public i felt like thats the whole point of April but after watching it it works.
You said this was the best TMNT movie by far... and I only saw clips from the live action ones... how do feel this compares to the Rise movie? Very different in tone, but Rise was also phenomenal in my opinion.
Only people who aren't big TMNT fans would consider Mutant Mayhem to be 'the best'.. 😆 I'm sure that there are some fans who would consider it.. But they're definitely not the majority.
Unfortunately...That's why I'm only going to watch positive reviews about the film, because at least these videos aren't so negative or badmouthing the film just for the sake of badmouthing it. Worse than that are the "anti-woke" channels! Seriously, these channels are Trash!
The zoomer references seemed a little much, but I’m enthusiastic for this new version of TMNT, and can’t wait for the introduction of Shredder and the Foot.
Because your comment is vapid. The 90s movie is the best because? This is a 17 minute video explaining why this movie worked for HIM but you still feel the need to state your opinion objectively with no substance. I like the 90s movie but this is better.
@@darendavison9608 lol dude it’s subjective. To me the 90’s film is better I saw the new one last night I don’t need to justify to you or anyone why it’s better
This is the best turtles adaptation since the 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT show for me. That show was fucking awesome but when I was told this was a kids movie, I didn't expect to absolutely enjoy this movie at my adult age lol
I loved this movie so much! The only issue I had with it was probably Splinter. Would have liked his origin to make more sense than him just watching martial arts films
Seen it opening day. I enjoyed it, wasnt my favorite turtles movie, but it was alot of fun. I really liked the animation. Almost looked like claymation at times. 👍
I think the only reason i felt slightly let down was because the only other movie i went to theaters to see was Spider-verse. It was a fun and very different take on the turtles. The animation was excellent. I really want to see where they go with this.
Just got out of the movie a couple hours ago and just finished watching this. Really great video man, I absolutely loved the movie as a big tmnt fan. It’s not my favorite tmnt movie as I still think the 1990 movie is better (and it’s one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time) but it’s still really great
Facts! The best animated movies I watched in theaters in 2023 were: 1. Puss In Boots The Last Wish(It was still playing in January so I guess it can count for 2023) 2. Super Mario Bros 3. Across The Spiderverse 4. TMNT Mutant Mayhem Those 4 were amazing!
Adults voicing kids is nothing new that goes back decades because of their experience, range and longevity...problem using kids/teenagers voice actors is they're going to get older and their voices change...1990 tmnt did a great job of capturing teenage aspect plenty of chemistry amongst them and the personalities/ plot depth especially with Raphael ...2023 is a different generation 30 year gap compared to teenagers of the 1990s
The movie is rly good. 7.75 out of 11(after atsv,my rating caps at 11 instade of 10 but is mainly the same as 10,11 showing perfection) from me. Rly fun movie,go watch it!
Saying that has so little weight to it, the bar ain't high, it is easy to make a better movie that the ones that came before. I'd prefer a violent action movie than a kids oriented movie, not saying this is bad, but I feel the turtles fans have grown up now, some of the best comics are the bloody and gory ones, and no one has portrayed the turtles like that in any other media, if anyone ever does that, that will be the best piece of TMNT there will be.
Its good but even just including the recent movies, tmnt vs batman and rise of the tmnt the movie easily clear in terms of almost everything between the 2 (visuals aside)
Hi there, gotta say I don't know what you are talking about when it comes to this. You open this review up by saying "I've never really been a big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan" and end out the review by saying it's the "Best by far TMNT movie to date" and you even say the creatives involved understood the "Heart of these Characters and why it resonated with so many audiences". I don't really understand how you have any footing to say any of this not being a fan of anything Turtles prior to this bruh. You looked at the 1990s film, the first piece of Turtles media that felt like a perfect blend of the silly of the 87 show and comic grit and added the deep family bond, and thought "Eh that wasn't good". Really? The film was amazing and groundbreaking for what it was able to pull off for it's time. You though didn't like it, cuz the costumes weren't really doing it for you? The amazing work the Henson Company did just didn't look great for you huh? I see. Also the Splinter displayed within this film is probably the worst version of the character I've seen in any Turtle Work. (And that is including Next Mutation and Rise of the TMNT) He feels like an off brand dollar store Splinter, that your grandmother found in a bargain bin and gave to you for you 6th Birthday four days late. Splinter has always been a master of ninjutsu, and a man with a code of honor. Whether he has been a rat turned intelligent or a man turned rat. Here though he and the turtles just found a how to do karate for beginners tape, slapped on some masks for presumably no reason, and their code they follow "Humans are evil, and will milk you". Great version of Splinter, absolute GREEAT. Like bro you can like this overall trashy bad comedy take of Turtles all you like, I can't force you not to. But you can't say it's best TMNT movie by far, when you personally don't even care about the property. I doubt you even care about the core of each character, and you are talking about how this movie gets the "Heart" of the characters. You are right it totally does, by erasing Hamato Yoshi, erasing the Japanese influence, erasing the connection with the Shredder (Unless they retcon it somehow in the sequel I hope they don't get), and erasing key characteristics of each brother and just boiling them down to "Teenagers". Every previous version of Turtles has had each Brother feel unique, feel like an individual. This though, they just felt interchangeable and pretty much soulless. But hey at least they were finally all voiced by teenagers right? At least they did some top tier Teenager Riffs, and said stuff like "Rizz, Vibes, and Sus". Yeah dude, definitely best TMNT ever. So good, you are right. My take - Leo's design is the best Turtle design in the whole thing, all the other Turtles look ugly especially Raph. Splinter isn't Splinter. The animation looks fluid in motion but it's wasted on this farce, and the Musical Score is top tier. All that said though, this is a bad take on the Turtles that makes a joke of the whole property on a massive level, and people are just gonna eat it up cuz it looks nice animation wise and it's "Finally" got teens in it. 4/10 Movie wise, 1/10 Turtle Movie wise. Nuff said.
I'm in the minority....I was just meh on this movie....it was okay....I was mostly bored in the my sit watching this movie....I wish for it to end quickly every 5-10 minutes. I am so sorry....I was trying to love this or at least like this movie that is why I gave a chance...but I could not... Not that I ever loved TMNT except for the 2003 series.
The fact that you said you've " never really been a TMNT fan " Proves why you think this is the best movie. This movie is Sub average at best. It lacks in so many ways
I really don't understand the point you're trying to make here. I don't hate TMNT it was just never the first thing I reached for and I didn't care for the 90s live action films
@@FilmSpeak That’s just the thing, the 1st TMNT movie is the gold standard. The creators were involved, it blended the comics and cartoon masterfully, the legend Jim Henson made the costumes. So when you say the film highly regarded by long time TMNT fans isn’t your thing your claim is baseless. Even if the movie is great it can never out do the 90’s movie cause it would be too much of a departure of the core concept. I just want you to understand, in the comics the more violent versions Splinter trained them as assassins (ninja) to avenge his master Yoshi. Pretty much the only time where they’re actual ninjas. In the 90’s movie they stretch the definition to mean an art of fighting in the shadows unseen but this movie they learn from watching Kung fu?? For one that’s a Chinese fighting style, ninja is Japanese but I’m guessing they all look the same in Hollywood’s eyes. Anyway, it’s fine of course if you like it but it’s not even close to the best. Somewhere between the Bay movies and the Next Mutation.
Hot take. But I don’t like or dislike this version of splinter, I’ve always loved that he was with the turtles from the very beginning!! Also after reading the IDW comics I think I personally prefer the more wise, disciplined sensei. I do enjoy seeing the turtles act more as kids but I wish we would’ve gotten more stuff like in the very beginning of the movie, with them getting all their groceries in a more ninja like fashion but overall great watch! But I don’t think it’s the “BEST FORM OF MEDIA” for the TMMT that’s been out.. like cmon man 😮💨
**I'd say this the first chapter of an even greater epic ninjitsu stuff. Which I do not mind this take of the TMNT franchise as awhole now. Thankfully better than the michael bay ones... NO MORE MEGAN FOX AS APRIL!!!!**
Like what was the base image I used? Like the poster? I made the rest of it, just used a base image from one of the posters and then altered it in photoshop.
This film was a complete insult to the franchise and to these characters...if you want to see constant references to 'Milking/getting Milked', Splinter kissing mutant cockroaches, the 4 main heroes being the most annoying/irritating/sugar rushed douche-bags in the history of the franchise that I literally wanted them to Die, lack of actual 'Ninja' in a film called Ninja Turtles, and Donatello sounding like he's 5 years old...then sure...go ahead. How this film gets a pass is mind-boggling to me.
Teenage mutant ninja turtles 🐢 is fantastic ever it is really my favorite cartoon is really great ever I absolutely like these trailer movie is fantastic ever nice very cool ever nice

Pathetically CRINGE!
I wish we saw more of the ninja aspect of the turtles. Like then sneaking around nyc and lurking in the shadows but I’m very happy with what we got.
I feel like they'll definitely dial it up for the sequel!
What would be the need to sneak around in the shadows at this point,they let everyone see them already and now go to high school lol
@@mjjiskingofpopThem being stealthy isn’t just dependent on the public seeing them xd
@@mjjiskingofpop When they go on missions, they would need to be sneaky

TMNT 2012 -- Masterpiece.. MY FAV SHOW AND INCARNATION.. FUCK I LOVE THIS
Rise OF THE TMNT 2018 -- Lovable.. Unique.. And Misunderstood
The 2012 series was my first ever introduction to TMNT back then, enjoyed it even though I missed a few episodes when it was on Nicktoons.
Ngl even that I'm a huge fan of tmnt ,even I find this movie the first actual good tmnt movie
Did you really just diss the movie magic miracles that are the 90s TMNT suits? Really?
After explaining that it wasn't for me...yes lol
yeah i can’t get over that either. i have 0 nostalgia for the movie and still think they look convincing. the fact that he also lumped them in with the much weaker costumes used in the sequels was wild to me. but to each his own i guess
@@crunchy1547actually the 2nd movie suits were some what good, just after that one it just gotten bad with the third film and the next mutation
@@crunchy1547 this channel been posting tons of Ls lately. That misguided as fuck Barbenheimer video, the really poorly reasoned MI7 video, and now disregarding some of the best practical effects ever in independent American film. You don't need to be a fan to know those suits are incredible. For a low budget independent production to design and produce those suits where intricate martial arts choreography can be performed...it's stunning working.
@@lwrider10andhisstuff52 The suits are just as incredible in the 2nd film, maybe even more impressive because they were able to streamline the process. I prefer the head and facial designs of the original film, but Secret of the Ooze is an awesome clinic in suit performance and design.
Turtles 3? Yea, big downgrade. And I can't hold a failed TV show from the 90s against theatrical releases. And for the time, the Next Mutation suits really aren't that bad as effects in and of themselves. Their character designs are just lacking.
This honestly might be my favourite TMNT movie as the teenage voice actors truly make these characters feel organic and even ironically humanized in a way that makes you love them and want to see them grow. I also love the animation and how it feels messy and filthy in a good way that really resonates with the characters and story.
I really love the ending especially, seeing how the turtles and mutants are actually accepted by humanity and get a chance to live semi normal lives so early in their carers is such a bold and beautiful arc that is very refreshing for the Turtles.
I'm especially excited for the implications of what their lives will be like in the sequel and what Shredder will be like as he appears to be less of a crime leader and more of a bounty hunter, similar to Kraven the Hunter and it's be gut wrenching to see the Turtles and Mutants all get hunted down by Shredder
This movie was awesome! I really suggest watching the first TMNT movie from the 90s too btw it's one of the best TMNT movies out there just like Mutant Mayhem!
I really liked how this movie didn't directly villanize any character and made all their goals and morals understandable. Nobody is cartoonishly evil they're just people who've been hurt. People who are shunjed because they're different and want to be apart of something bigger but just can't have it.

The part that I really wished got addressed is that Superfly had a human as a dad (though him wanting to use humans for entertainment does soften that a bit), and that it would be incredibly hypocritical for him to overthrow the humans.
But if the “love over hate” route is the path that the Rowe-Rogen movies want to go for their interpretation of TMNT, I’m all for it, especially when Shredder was a villain driven by hate in the original comics and will appear in the next movie.
@@mackielunkey2205I think it's a similar thing to how Splinter says "the weapon will destroy the earth and the only good human, April." Superfly probably sees Baxter as the one single exception to the horribleness of the human race in his eyes
@@myrap3 Ah I didn't notice that!
It was one of my mosts anticipated movies of this year, and goddamn, it didn't disappoint ! Just from the trailers, I could tell this movie was gonna be special !
I specifically love how the art style derivates not only from Spiderverse, but sometimes is even reminiscent of studio Aardman (Wallace and Gromit), of all places.
I am gonna be honest i never actually liked the idea the turtles revealing themselves to the public i felt like thats the whole point of April but after watching it it works.
Still too soon for me
"i've never been a TMNT fan" then titles movie this is the BEST TMNT movie ever...fail...not even close...
It’s amazing how that beginning banter of you not being a fan, *is EXACTLY OUT OF MY MOUTH 😂*
Oh please oh god give RISE of the TMNT a watch, genuinely one of the best action cartoon I’ve seen in recent years
I was so surprised that Seth Rogan made this movie because I thought he only did stuff for adults
haha yeah! He's incredibly versatile.
2003 animated run, best TMNT
2000s TMNT Crossover was pretty kool , 0:05 wtf did they do too April O'Neil ? A other death of a Ginger Red Head
You said this was the best TMNT movie by far... and I only saw clips from the live action ones... how do feel this compares to the Rise movie? Very different in tone, but Rise was also phenomenal in my opinion.
2000s TMNT was badass both the cartoon and the animated movie
Am I the only one who noticed Splinter freaking MERC one of those soldiers? He stuck something in his skull and it stayed there......
This movie was soo good I can’t wait for the tv series and the sequel
I watched this yesterday and it was awesome. Great take particularly after Bay's adaptations
Love this Review because as a Huge TMNT fan, is nice to hear the Opinion of someone who is not a fan & listen what takes he can offer ❤💙🧡💜🖤
Only people who aren't big TMNT fans would consider Mutant Mayhem to be 'the best'.. 😆
I'm sure that there are some fans who would consider it.. But they're definitely not the majority.
Unfortunately...That's why I'm only going to watch positive reviews about the film, because at least these videos aren't so negative or badmouthing the film just for the sake of badmouthing it. Worse than that are the "anti-woke" channels! Seriously, these channels are Trash!
I loved every single minute of this great movie & Jakie Chan stole the show. Ready for a sequel & Omg Ice cube made me very happy WooooW
The zoomer references seemed a little much, but I’m enthusiastic for this new version of TMNT, and can’t wait for the introduction of Shredder and the Foot.
The best movie is the original 90’s movie
Ehh that one's not really my jam, but I get it!
You havent even seen this one you just clicked on the video to comment
@@darendavison9608 lol and how could you know that ?
Your comment is ridiculous
Because your comment is vapid. The 90s movie is the best because?
This is a 17 minute video explaining why this movie worked for HIM but you still feel the need to state your opinion objectively with no substance. I like the 90s movie but this is better.
@@darendavison9608 lol dude it’s subjective.
To me the 90’s film is better
I saw the new one last night
I don’t need to justify to you or anyone why it’s better
This is the best turtles adaptation since the 2012 Nickelodeon TMNT show for me. That show was fucking awesome but when I was told this was a kids movie, I didn't expect to absolutely enjoy this movie at my adult age lol
Let’s go!! Been waiting all week for you to talk about this! Can’t wait for your Jason Todd Film❤️
The 1990 movie is quite literally the best adaptation of the comic book while incorporating some great changes from the 87 show.
I mean that's fine. 1990 movie is okay, I just much prefer this.
I loved this movie so much! The only issue I had with it was probably Splinter. Would have liked his origin to make more sense than him just watching martial arts films
We appreciate your analysis as always. We will support you no matter what happens.
🙏🏻❤️
Seen it opening day. I enjoyed it, wasnt my favorite turtles movie, but it was alot of fun. I really liked the animation. Almost looked like claymation at times. 👍
Yeah! The animation was incredible. Really creative style.
I think the only reason i felt slightly let down was because the only other movie i went to theaters to see was Spider-verse. It was a fun and very different take on the turtles. The animation was excellent. I really want to see where they go with this.
Just got out of the movie a couple hours ago and just finished watching this. Really great video man, I absolutely loved the movie as a big tmnt fan. It’s not my favorite tmnt movie as I still think the 1990 movie is better (and it’s one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time) but it’s still really great
Love that! So glad you enjoyed the film.
absolutely loved this movie didn’t expect to
This movie reminds me of the Spider-Verse films.
I didn’t watch the old movies so I can’t really say much but I will say this movie and rise were amazing
This was a great movie and your thoughts made me love it more !
Because of this movie, when someone asks me who my favourite turtle is I'm gonna say splinter :D
With this movie and Puss in boots the last wish I feel like animation is an a great state right now
Facts! The best animated movies I watched in theaters in 2023 were:
1. Puss In Boots The Last Wish(It was still playing in January so I guess it can count for 2023)
2. Super Mario Bros
3. Across The Spiderverse
4. TMNT Mutant Mayhem
Those 4 were amazing!
Adults voicing kids is nothing new that goes back decades because of their experience, range and longevity...problem using kids/teenagers voice actors is they're going to get older and their voices change...1990 tmnt did a great job of capturing teenage aspect plenty of chemistry amongst them and the personalities/ plot depth especially with Raphael ...2023 is a different generation 30 year gap compared to teenagers of the 1990s
Jackie chain as master splinter is amazing
The movie is rly good. 7.75 out of 11(after atsv,my rating caps at 11 instade of 10 but is mainly the same as 10,11 showing perfection) from me. Rly fun movie,go watch it!
Saying that has so little weight to it, the bar ain't high, it is easy to make a better movie that the ones that came before.
I'd prefer a violent action movie than a kids oriented movie, not saying this is bad, but I feel the turtles fans have grown up now, some of the best comics are the bloody and gory ones, and no one has portrayed the turtles like that in any other media, if anyone ever does that, that will be the best piece of TMNT there will be.
I’d say this is the second best TMNT film…the Rise of the TMNT movie is the best imo
😂
Looks like you haven't seen the original 90s movies. Those were so much better
@@Night-Owl94 I think I'll pass on those nightmare fuel puppet turtles
@@SwellStuff483 you do yourself a disservice
Its good but even just including the recent movies, tmnt vs batman and rise of the tmnt the movie easily clear in terms of almost everything between the 2 (visuals aside)
I CANT WAIT TO SEE TMNT MUTANT HAYHEM!!!!! Will be seeing it on Monday!!!!!! COWABUNGA!!!!!!!
I loved this movie so much
Hi there, gotta say I don't know what you are talking about when it comes to this. You open this review up by saying "I've never really been a big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan" and end out the review by saying it's the "Best by far TMNT movie to date" and you even say the creatives involved understood the "Heart of these Characters and why it resonated with so many audiences". I don't really understand how you have any footing to say any of this not being a fan of anything Turtles prior to this bruh. You looked at the 1990s film, the first piece of Turtles media that felt like a perfect blend of the silly of the 87 show and comic grit and added the deep family bond, and thought "Eh that wasn't good". Really? The film was amazing and groundbreaking for what it was able to pull off for it's time. You though didn't like it, cuz the costumes weren't really doing it for you? The amazing work the Henson Company did just didn't look great for you huh? I see.
Also the Splinter displayed within this film is probably the worst version of the character I've seen in any Turtle Work. (And that is including Next Mutation and Rise of the TMNT) He feels like an off brand dollar store Splinter, that your grandmother found in a bargain bin and gave to you for you 6th Birthday four days late. Splinter has always been a master of ninjutsu, and a man with a code of honor. Whether he has been a rat turned intelligent or a man turned rat. Here though he and the turtles just found a how to do karate for beginners tape, slapped on some masks for presumably no reason, and their code they follow "Humans are evil, and will milk you". Great version of Splinter, absolute GREEAT.
Like bro you can like this overall trashy bad comedy take of Turtles all you like, I can't force you not to. But you can't say it's best TMNT movie by far, when you personally don't even care about the property. I doubt you even care about the core of each character, and you are talking about how this movie gets the "Heart" of the characters. You are right it totally does, by erasing Hamato Yoshi, erasing the Japanese influence, erasing the connection with the Shredder (Unless they retcon it somehow in the sequel I hope they don't get), and erasing key characteristics of each brother and just boiling them down to "Teenagers". Every previous version of Turtles has had each Brother feel unique, feel like an individual. This though, they just felt interchangeable and pretty much soulless. But hey at least they were finally all voiced by teenagers right? At least they did some top tier Teenager Riffs, and said stuff like "Rizz, Vibes, and Sus". Yeah dude, definitely best TMNT ever. So good, you are right.
My take - Leo's design is the best Turtle design in the whole thing, all the other Turtles look ugly especially Raph. Splinter isn't Splinter. The animation looks fluid in motion but it's wasted on this farce, and the Musical Score is top tier. All that said though, this is a bad take on the Turtles that makes a joke of the whole property on a massive level, and people are just gonna eat it up cuz it looks nice animation wise and it's "Finally" got teens in it. 4/10 Movie wise, 1/10 Turtle Movie wise. Nuff said.
as a lifelong tmnt fan i actually liked the movie but i still agree with some of this
Ice Cube was phenominal in this.
Are you not even aware of Rise of the TMNT? It has a movie that you don’t mention
I'm in the minority....I was just meh on this movie....it was okay....I was mostly bored in the my sit watching this movie....I wish for it to end quickly every 5-10 minutes. I am so sorry....I was trying to love this or at least like this movie that is why I gave a chance...but I could not... Not that I ever loved TMNT except for the 2003 series.
2014: TMNT and GotG
2017: TMNT 2 and GotG 2
2023: TMNT with Chris Pratt and GotG with Chris Pratt
Coincidence, I think NOT!
I'm pretty sure that everyone is going to copy this style
I'm all for it.
Bring back 2d animations.
The 1990 movie is still the best, hands down. Not even close imo
The fact that you said you've " never really been a TMNT fan " Proves why you think this is the best movie. This movie is Sub average at best. It lacks in so many ways
It's obvious your not a big turtles fan if you thought this movie was the best! But it's not the worst and we are all great full for that I'm sure
I’d still love to see shredder in this art style
Next film 😎
Guy who didn’t like TMNT thinks this is the best TMNT 😂
I really don't understand the point you're trying to make here. I don't hate TMNT it was just never the first thing I reached for and I didn't care for the 90s live action films
@@FilmSpeak That’s just the thing, the 1st TMNT movie is the gold standard. The creators were involved, it blended the comics and cartoon masterfully, the legend Jim Henson made the costumes. So when you say the film highly regarded by long time TMNT fans isn’t your thing your claim is baseless. Even if the movie is great it can never out do the 90’s movie cause it would be too much of a departure of the core concept. I just want you to understand, in the comics the more violent versions Splinter trained them as assassins (ninja) to avenge his master Yoshi. Pretty much the only time where they’re actual ninjas. In the 90’s movie they stretch the definition to mean an art of fighting in the shadows unseen but this movie they learn from watching Kung fu?? For one that’s a Chinese fighting style, ninja is Japanese but I’m guessing they all look the same in Hollywood’s eyes. Anyway, it’s fine of course if you like it but it’s not even close to the best. Somewhere between the Bay movies and the Next Mutation.
@@VexNToys whole ass paragraph
No. . . The best is held by the 1990s and Turtles Forever interchangeably
The best. No. I watched it. It was ok
Hot take. But I don’t like or dislike this version of splinter, I’ve always loved that he was with the turtles from the very beginning!! Also after reading the IDW comics I think I personally prefer the more wise, disciplined sensei. I do enjoy seeing the turtles act more as kids but I wish we would’ve gotten more stuff like in the very beginning of the movie, with them getting all their groceries in a more ninja like fashion but overall great watch! But I don’t think it’s the “BEST FORM OF MEDIA” for the TMMT that’s been out.. like cmon man 😮💨
The 90 is first then the rise of the teen age mutant ninja turtles
One of the best films of 2023
*Nah, NOT the best TMNT movie, you forgot about the classic movies from the 90's, and they disrespected Master Splinter in this movie, so it's a NO*
Have you watched teenage mutant ninja turtles 2007 movie consider that one underrated.
I did when I was younger. I thought it was okay! Definitely better than the trash Michael Bay ones that followed haha
Who is "The talent" in the video? Are they the creators of these movies or just voice actors?
Bro I'm not gonna lie the turtles were brutal lol. Great movie 19000000/10 would 💯 percent watch again!!!!!
will u be reviewing blue beetle
Yep! Later this week
I liked the Michael bay movies more and no that’s not a joke I fucking love those movies
Thank you for a great video!
No
They are all bad so saying this one is the best isn't exactly saying much
This film, is actually GOOD?! 😱
Yes!
@@FilmSpeak
Ok so I just saw it last night, and *OH MY GOD, IT’S THAT GOOD! 😱😆*
Tmnt 2007 it's the best animated movie for ninja turtles
Thought for sure you’d use Mikey looking at the outside world as your thumbnail😅
This was an amazing movie with a great Latin American Spanish dub!
Please stop clickbaiting and killing film criticism. 😞
I mean it’s only competition is the 1980 movie and the bar isn’t that high
**I'd say this the first chapter of an even greater epic ninjitsu stuff. Which I do not mind this take of the TMNT franchise as awhole now. Thankfully better than the michael bay ones... NO MORE MEGAN FOX AS APRIL!!!!**
Who made the art for your thumbnail?
Like what was the base image I used? Like the poster? I made the rest of it, just used a base image from one of the posters and then altered it in photoshop.
@@FilmSpeak oh wow really like the way you edited it lol was looking for that
@@IDozAnimalJamzAJ Oh damn thank you man! I really appreciate that 🙏🏻
This film was a complete insult to the franchise and to these characters...if you want to see constant references to 'Milking/getting Milked', Splinter kissing mutant cockroaches, the 4 main heroes being the most annoying/irritating/sugar rushed douche-bags in the history of the franchise that I literally wanted them to Die, lack of actual 'Ninja' in a film called Ninja Turtles, and Donatello sounding like he's 5 years old...then sure...go ahead. How this film gets a pass is mind-boggling to me.
I love the moments inspired by sam Raimi films
Yes! Same haha. So good.
Teenage mutant ninja turtles 🐢 is fantastic ever it is really my favorite cartoon is really great ever I absolutely like these trailer movie is fantastic ever nice very cool ever nice
Just the twerking and Splinter kissing was not needed. But great movie !!!
