Enjoyed The Ride

Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Out of the Shadows", starring Megan Fox-Jonah Hex, Hope & Faith_tv; Will Arnett-The Millers_tv, Jonah Hex; Stephen Amell-Arrow_tv, The Tracey Fragments; Laura Linney-The Big C_tv, The Exorcism of Emily Rose; Tyler Perry-Alex Cross, the Madea movies; Stephen Farrelly, aka Sheamus-WWF Raw_tv, The Escapist and Gary Anthony Williams-The Soul Man_tv, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

This is the sequel to the 2014 TMNT movie with some returning faces and some new ones, too. Megan returns as April and Will, her faithful camera man is back, but with a little less camera work-in fact he doesn't do any-since he has taken credit for taking out Shredder from the first movie and become a local celebrity-it was the turtles' idea because they need to stay in the shadows to continue their do-gooding without interferences from frightened humans. Stephen A. meets the turtles while transporting Shredder-he is a cop-and ends up trying to fend off a jail break-unsuccessfully, of course. Tyler plays a mad scientist working with Shredder and he really loves his part-he is funniest when he gets excited about his work. Laura is the new police chief and Stephen F./Rocksteady & Gary/Bebop are 2 henchmen that get experimented on by Tyler-they are changed into a rhinoceros and a wart hog, respectively. There is also a new bad guy named Krang; he is from another dimension and wants to conquer Earth-don't all bad guys? If you like the TMNT, you should enjoy this installment. I did. The turtles have come a long way since their 1984 comic debut in Mirage comics-I mention this because in the movie, there is a car with license plates paying tribute to this trivia fact; It says, 'Mirage84'. It's rated "PG-13" for sci-fi action and violence and has a running time of 1 hour & 52 minutes. I enjoyed it enough that I would buy it on DVD.
