Teenage Mutant Mayhem Ninjas

I'm not really a Turts fan, but this is what the kids are talking about.

For the Nth time, we get the origin of the Turtle, who are now just teenagers that just want to hang with humans. (Clearly, they haven't met us.) But small problem, there's a weird creature stealing things... I mean, they are turtles and supposedly everyone reacts with horror when meeting them. But hey, maybe sorting out that stealing things will solve problems? And no more problems were ever faced again..

I don't really know Turt movie stuff, so I guess this is fine? This certainly feels like a decent enough take in this year of our pandemic that it works for them being teenagers, and for them being mutants, and expanding on the whole mutant creature thing. People's opinions does turn quite easily, but this is a simple movie, we aren't spending hours on random character development.

There are quite some names here, mainly is the other roles. I gather they actually have kids voicing the turtles so... they will do well until they age out? This movie ends up with an easy sequel hook, but no doubt any sequel will be driven purely by profit.

It's a movie about the turtles, sure. Speaks to a lot of people and they seem happy with it.
