TMNT - Please go back to the shadows!

Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Raphael return to theaters this summer to battle bigger, badder villains in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.





These unlikely superheroes bicker, eat pizza, wear bandanas, all while living in the New York City sewer system.   For some reason (still unbeknownst to me), the turtles occasionally save the world from destruction. 

Actors jumping into the sewer for this one include Megan Fox, Will Arnett and even Tyler Perry.  (Hard to believe he is in this movie and it wasn’t retitled “Tyler Perry helps Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…you know where I am going here. ) I also have to wonder what possessed three time Oscar nominee Laura Linney to jump on the turte train..…

It’s noisy and chaotic, and I am sure the young ones will like this one, but for this critic, these turtles just need to go back into the shadows.


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is rated PG-13
