If you are from my generation then odds are you have at least heard of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since the 80's these heroes in a half shell have become a pop culture icons with the various comics, television series and movies to their name. The Turtles made their way back to the silver screen in the summer of 2014 in a blockbuster that was produced by Michael Bay. While the involvement of Bay made this Film Adventurer skeptical, I found myself enjoying the latest TMNT film as it was a simple (yet flawed) summer blockbuster. So naturally a sequel was to be made and that continuation has made its to theaters in form of
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. The latest film promised a sense of nostalgia as it featured several elements that Turtles fans would easily recognize. Yet could
Out of the Shadows bring justice to the name Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or does this sequel lack the discipline to succeed?
Out of the Shadows continues the story of Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Raphael (Alan Ritchson), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Michelangelo (Noel Fisher). The four brothers saved to city once from the Foot Clan, but problems resurface when The Shredder (Brian Tee) escapes from prison. With the help scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) and henchmen Beebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Sheamus), Shredder plans to bring a being known as Krang (Bob Garrett) to the Earth and help him to take over the planet. With the help of April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the Turtles set off to stop Shredder; but not without dealing with their own issues-such as using an ooze that could turn the Turtles into humans.
