This is Charisma Morris. I’m 8. I have to admit, I wasn’t too excited in another “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie – I thought it would be completely silly, mostly for boys, and have nothing special in it..but boy am I glad I saw it. It’s probably my third favourite film of the year.
In this one, Shredder escapes from jail and teams up with a mad scientist named Baxter Stockman who plans to take over the world with a serum he has invented (the serum gets tested on two dumb bad guys who turn into mutants – they’re Bebop and Rocksteady). The Turtles get help from their friend April O’Neil, Vernon Fenwick and new friend Casey Jones, who feels responsible for letting Shredder escape custody. There’s also another bad guy, Krang, who comes from another dimension.
Of the characters, Michelangelo (my favourite of the Turtles; I find Raphael too annoying) is really funny, he couldn’t be funnier, April is smart and pretty, and the actress that plays her, Megan Fox, is great at playing that, and though he’s a bad guy, Shredder (Brian Tee) is cool – and if I had the ability to open a portal, like he does here, I would love to use it… to open a portal to Ponyville from My Little Pony!
There’s also Will Arnett and Stephen Amell (from ‘Arrow’) as Vernon and Casey, two more good guys; they were at the screening I was at.
“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Out of the Shadows” is better than the first one because there’s more big action moments and a more interesting story. I loved that when I went to see it at the screening I got pizza, if you’re lucky enough to attend a media screening for it you might get Pizza too!
My mother, when she was little, use to watch the original “Ninja Turtles” cartoon, and said it was fun, and knew a lot about it, so I’m thinking I might enjoy it now too.
