TMNT Mutant Mayhem In Review - Every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Ranked & Recapped

[@javi0usly]

Man, the indifference towards TMNT 1990 blows my mind. It's so freaking good.

[@FriendPal92839]

So good. Holds up

[@NF_Redux]

agreed, best live action film so far, they nailed it on the first try.

[@alexlawrence6440]

It alongside the TMNT movie we’re my turtles properties I really loved, picking up a Last Ronin hardcover tomorrow

[@Mrs.Garrison69]

It’s not tho

[@Tallahassee21]

@@Mrs.Garrison69 please explain. And be specific.

[@AlexLove631]

Seth Rogen, man.. Dude is such a brilliant producer it’s insane. He had the genius idea to have the turtles actually be played by teenagers for the first time in franchise history. It’s a game changer tbh. The animation is killer, the characterizations are spot on, the dialogue is brilliant, the soundtrack is next level (no diggity is the best scene). If I had to complain, I’d say I wish it was a tad more emotional. Both Spider-verse movies made me cry. I was hoping I’d get that here, but that doesn’t take away from the film. It’s a banger.

[@MelodicQuest]

This movie was much more lighthearted than Spiderverse. Splinter had a few emotional bits. The scene where Superfly tells his crew "I can keep you safe. You just have to do what I say!" and Splinter realizes he's been forcing his world view on his sons just like Superfly. And also the scene where the New Yorkers help him up and Splinter sees that there i some good in humanity.

[@AlexLove631]

@@MelodicQuest yea for sure, and those were my favorite bits too. I just wanted a little bit more. The tone was perfectly balanced, with dialogue that felt completely real. Hoping it matures a tad with each installment

[@iCb0x]

Why is Andy so weird with humor lololol. He always thinks jokes or bits are overdone.

[@andrewfeistner3384]

One of my favorite lines from SuperFly in the movies is when the turtles are trying to get out of the murder plan and they try to call him cousin so he responds with “Don’t cuh me!”

[@LuchadorBenDejo]

100% agree with Nick on the Liquid Television vibes. Definitely brought me back to watching that animation block on MTV as a kid.

[@NF_Redux]

finally got to see it last night! as someone who loves the 80's cartoon & the original comic run, and the 1990 film, but not a lot after that, i absolutely adore this film. it definitely has that 'Liquid Television' vibe about it, the animation is beautiful, the music & needle drops are perfect, and the characters and story took all the best elements from what i feel makes TMNT so special, and made something new and cool for kids today while also throwing us old farts a bone or two as well. can't wait for Part 2! 💚

[@ThePonderer]

I didn’t love this movie on first watch, but I’ve seen it twice more since and it only gets better every time.

[@MrKylehooks98]

The laugh I let out loud when Seth Rogan said “that speech has me very roused”. 10/10 movie

[@bennetthasty7886]

I didn’t think I’d like the animation from the trailer but once you get into it, it all works perfectly with this story

[@josephgrigsby]

The sequences of side scrolling fight scenes were tight!

[@Caveboy0]

I just realized that if Baxter stockman is still alive and superfly gets re oozed the idea that Baxter stockman turns himself into a fly monster would be a really sweet resolution for father and son. They would be mutant fly people together.

[@AssassinAlchemist]

So much passion behind this project. It's my film of the year. 🙏🏽😤

[@Invisiblekatana]

You guys need to add Batman vs. Ninja Turtles and the Rise of TMNT movie to this in review, those are masterpieces.

[@GenericCoyote]

Been really looking forward to this! I've been watching all of the films and watching the eps alongside them over the past few weeks in the run up to Mutant Mayhem. 🍕

[@dejjibd424]

Well I watched a bit of the review and you guys have absolutely made me decide to go and see this

[@blairsnyder1067]

Art style was dope, and the music was damn near perfect

[@SonnyFrisco]

Loved this film. Beautiful animation and a heartfelt story. The new characters fit right in and the score was one of the best this year, IMO. Is it different? Yes - but TMNT established a multi-verse before anyone else in 2009 with TMNT Forever. There is more than enough room for a new variant universe, animated or live action. I'm excited to see what is next.

[@melloking7780]

1st comment is to say how much I love this movie before watching the review! I’ll write another once I’m finished

[@ethanbowden7256]

Fr folks watch the secret invasion in review, I didn't watch the show at all but damn that was a good podcast episode

[@MelodicQuest]

I can't believe you guys forgot Splinter with the three Chris cutouts

[@Leet1995]

Fantastic movie! For some reason my cinema isn’t showing this in Dolby and I really wanna see it! Great in review too!

[@EveryTimeIDavid]

Excited to see this movie now. I love the first 2 from the and Cartoon from the 90’s. I’ve had the love of the Turtles beaten out of me over the years.

[@bennetthasty7886]

Has Jackie Chan always been this funny 😂❤🎉????

[@MelodicQuest]

He's much more about physical comedy. The Rush Hour franchise gives him so many good one-liners.

[@NF_Redux]

yep. i think in the 90's he shifted from pure Martial Arts films to mixing them with comedy as well.

[@FriendPal92839]

I enjoyed the movie but didn’t love it. Felt the last act was a little rushed and anti climatic but the turtles were great. Would def watch more. 7.5/10

[@HylianGuard37]

The animation to me gave me vibes of henry selick or laika studios with an overcoating of spiderverse

[@Fan-Nimater101]

I LOVED THIS MOVIE and a long life ninja turtles fan and i love the art style similar to spider verse

[@Epyonator]

Joey, your hair looks gorgeous!

[@johnw5442]

Pirates of the Caribbean in review needs to happen!!

[@Landez97]

Wish they'd do Rise of the TMNT movie.

[@ChildlikeMan]

Please for the love of God, please do Predator in Review

[@MikeG82]

the kid next to me had to leave the theater and throw up when Splinter kissed that roach

[@9p.0]

I would pay big money to see the KF crew venture through a David Lynch in review. Lol It will never happen but it would confound and confuse the team to the ends of the universe. It would be glorious.

[@blairsnyder1067]

Love that they casted actual teenagers, and in a interview they said they literally would just let the boys talk and keep it in the Final Cut. Seth Rogen hasn’t missed

[@furrybproductions]

Joey, boys have blow darts. Simple. Always have. I have that EXACT same story from my childhood. Only it wasn't the leg, it was the back of my cousin's neck 😂. Running around with the dart flapping around. Ahhh kids

[@johnnyvernersson2241]

Wait.. You guys look like this?! Been listening to the podcast for years, but never cared to look on KZbin. This is shocking.. In a good way!

[@deshaunfortune912]

The turtles are convincingly teenagers in 2012 and Rise, but they're voiced by adults, where as in this itteration its even more convincing bc actual teens are voicing them and giving their own insight.

[@danfletcher2090]

Actually they did only do the milking joke three times. The first setup, then one time with April and then with the machine.

[@TheRealGarate]

I really need to watch this movie again because I couldve sworn it was more 🤔

[@NF_Redux]

@@TheRealGarate i thought it was about 4 or 5, could be wrong tho

[@Phillipguy034]

This is the closest an animated movie from the west has come to Spiderverse

[@TheRealGarate]

You dont think Puss In Boots or Nimona come close? Or maybe you havent seen em?

[@cezzfire]

I'm from NYC and watched the movie in the Bronx, and the whole theater lost their minds laughing at the Becon egg and cheese scene at the high school

[@HylianGuard37]

Due to some scheduling issues I ended up seeing this movie as a double feature alongside The Haunted Mansion. Called it my Double Creature Feature. Yeah neither of the movie are creature films but cause the Turtles are basically cryptids i thought it would be fun to lump them together with a campy horror title. All this is to say i had a slightly off kilter perspective walking in to this movie. I am actually writing this a few days after listening to the podcast vut someone said something along the lines of “this is my thing and i am gonna rock with it” and thats where i am trying to drive this curving story to. People that generally love horror seem to come to love it cause they feel like they are on the outside looking in, the monster in the story or have some other view where they very strongly attach to the characters in it. This movie kinda shifting the emphasis off the Ninja and putting it on Teenage really kinda puts the turtles in that realm of creature feature. At the end of the day all the weird horror lovers just really want to be liked and find their people. So in my mind this movie will forever be a light hearted creature feature. Its nice to see you all enjoyed it too.

Finally redemption for all the terrible tumnut movies

[@jamiedeering3400]

Nick probably be happy to know that there is a follow up animated series and sequel movie in the works

[@xizor1d]

This was my favorite TMNT thing ever! 9/10

[@jdsilva29]

What a fun movie!

[@gleekthemonkey4570]

I feel like you guys at screwing yourselves over by not releasing your patreon content on KZbin a week or 2 later. As someone that casually watches on KZbin I never feel ANY incentive to subscribe on Patreon.

[@Justin-AL]

It is kind of a why would I want to pay you for content that I don’t know I’m not getting sort of thing, maybe if their doing a weekly show on patreon they could try releasing one episode a month to incentivise ppl

[@realrobrose]

Wouldn't you just wait and watch it on KZbin

[@Caveboy0]

Tim has always believed that you can’t change content scheduling. If you offer something premium keep it premium if it was always free at release then it’s always free at release. Delaying content by a few weeks feels like taking content away not giving extra content to patrons.

[@gleekthemonkey4570]

@@Caveboy0 All I'm saying is that the free episodes let me know about content that I literally had no idea they made. lol

[@realrobrose]

Didn't they just do this with a kinda feudy

[@Sphinx_Jer]

cannot wait to watch this now.

[@blairsnyder1067]

Brooooo

[@jaypimentel4007]

Loved the movie but I don’t think it’s going to age well. To much contemporary references and slang. It will feel dated in a couple of years.

[@Tallahassee21]

Just like the turtles 87, 2003. It's bound to happen.

[@MelodicQuest]

That's kinda the charm of the franchise, there's been so many wildly different takes on The Turtles and in the future we could get something very different and contemporary for that time.

[@GodlessG0D]

"Cowabubga dude!"

[@hectorrivera5416]

I absolutely love TMNT and have the full 15 volume set of the ongoing idw series. But this movie was painfully average and forgetful lol. It’s def fun and a better take then recent TMNT stuff but that doesn’t mean anything cuz a lot of that stuff has been horrible. Ps. This def was a kid movie with a bunch of dumb jokes lol, idk what Nick is talking about

[@marthvdr]

Dont get me wrong, this movie was fun and entertaining. As a long time TMNT fan, I'm not optimistic about the future of this franchise reboot. All of the important lore bits that make TMNT so fricken cool are gone...

[@deshaunfortune912]

That leaves things a surprise for hardcore fans tho

[@marthvdr]

@deshaunfortune912 Maybe if the sequel retcons the entire first movie...

[@Tallahassee21]

This is legitimately the first movie I've ever walked out on(i stayed for bvs mind you, though that might be the reason i didn't let this one slide) its one thing to make the movie pretty(though I'm not a fan of "me too" movies that copy art style) and maybe have some cool scenes and have awesome actors, but its a completely different thing to just change the main origin, and its what gets me the most. I saw someone post "seth rogen did it again", yeah i think this is his first miss. After the boys and invincible, this is a disappointment.

[@TheRealGarate]

So you're ok with a normal rat learning martial arts by watching a dude? Thats the origin you're defending? Lol ok

[@NF_Redux]

copy art style? pls expound.

[@Tallahassee21]

@@NF_Redux The spider verse art, for lack of a better term. Even puss in boots did it but only during action scenes, still, it's noticable.

[@NF_Redux]

* i wanted to wait til i'd seen all 3 films before replying... the art styles are very different for all three films. aside of all three using the same kind of 3D animation techniques as Pixar etc. under the hood, the styles layered over the top are quite different for each film: one is derived from comic book art panels using various mediums (Spider-Verse), one is a more traditional/classical oil painting style (Puss in Boots) and one is almost a messy crayon and ink sketchng style (Mutant Mayhem)... they're all different to the usual CG animated style, but are wildy different techniques in their own right, but you're right in that the technique of traditional painting/printing covering the usual 3D wireframe animation is the same for all three. @@Tallahassee21

[@Tallahassee21]

@@NF_Redux no, the art is different, the slower fps on the characters are my issue. since the release of "into the spider verse" this will be the 3rd movie to incorporate that specific effect. It's what I meant by me too animation, though I realized I said art,🤦🏽‍♂️because it's one thing to have an aesthetic choice but completely different to just copy from another film. But at the end of the day it's not my main gripe with it, but its an additional layer to my dislike for the film in general.
