Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem Review

 

The Spider-Verse influence is clear, both in terms of animation and character-driven storytelling. There is a clear love and care here, and though not everything lands, you can’t help but to admire it anyway. 

Some truly gorgeous shots, an incredible score, and (as mentioned before) a strong focus on character makes this film a fully enjoyable experience. 

But, like Spider-Verse, if you’re a fan of Ninja Turtle lore then you need to go in with the mind that this is an entirely new interpretation of this world, as it veers into unique places often. The teenage aspect of the turtles has never been better, and their pop culture influences and references firmly place them in Gen Z in interesting and often hilarious ways.

Barbenheimer Reviews

Oppenheimer:

Christopher Nolan at his most focused, though not quite his most explosive. 

Oppenheimer looks at the man behind one of the most impactful creations in history, and highlights him as the complex and flawed individual that he is. 

There are genuinely haunting scores, imagery, and dialogue throughout and by the time it’s over you realize this is a story we haven’t seen considered yet, but it is still one that will stay with you forever.

Barbie:

There is something so magical about watching a movie opening night and realizing it’s going to be a classic. 

While Barbie discovers herself, Ken discovers patriarchy, and I can’t think of a funnier and more thematic setup for this film. 

One of the funniest films of the last few years, and it’s fairytale nature is perfectly suited for the now historic mythos behind Barbie.
