The best TMNT movie yet
25 September 2023
As a huge TMNT fan since childhood, I can safely say this is exactly what I want from modern TMNT. It's the perfect mix of staying true to the essence of the series while also finding fun ways to adapt the series to today's world. There are obvious comparisons to Spider-Verse, as both feature gorgeous comic-inspired visuals, hip new adaptations of classic characters, a big focus of humor, and an atmospheric, potent score.

Reznor and Ross are perfect matches for this grimy, heroic world. Their score is fabulous. Coupled with the East Coast hip-hop that so perfectly fits the turtles, this film is a joy to listen to. The voice cast is excellent and the story has some real emotional heft. It doesn't blow you away with originality, but you overlook this due its earnestness and heartfelt touch.

Mutant Mayhem is a wonderful reinvention of one of our enduring properties of the past 40 years. I'm excited to see where this creative team can take the franchise going forward.
