I remember my heart sank when they turned out to be these fresh newly created creatures. When Shredder gets hold of the ooze and turns two unknown creatures into monsters everybody was ready for Bebop and Rocksteady, who else could it be?. The only let down for me (and everybody else at the time as far as I'm aware) was the lack of 'Bebop' and 'Rocksteady'. I love how they hyped up his armour for that, even though it doesn't make any sense, why would his armour mutate? surely it would simply get destroyed as he grew bigger like the 'Hulk'. The Super Shredder sequence? videogame much? its so totally in tune with the videogame aspect its untrue, utterly preposterous sure but visually so damn cool. We don't really see 'Shredhead' do much this time but his presence is always felt, the dude only needs to look cool, that's all that's required. I like that they haven't changed it either, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and it looks awesome. The bad guys are awesome in this film, you gotta love 'Shredder', the guy just looks so damn cool in that outfit. The animatronic heads are much sharper this time around, the lips sync nicely with the dialog and the actors inside seem to have much more range in movement (amazed they can do backflips so easily!). Visually the costumes are again the same but with small touch ups that enhance their appearance. The turtles themselves are pretty much the same, only Corey Feldman didn't return to voice 'Donatello' but the other voice actors remain. Most of the cast have returned which is also a big plus, only April has been recast and 'Casey Jones' doesn't turn up at all which is a shame (no mention of him either which is the only continuity issue). So it feels very comfortable for the viewer, as if it were the next day in the adventure. It starts from where the last film left off, the 'Foot Clan' are reforming, 'Shredder' has reemerged from his apparent death, the turtles are hiding out at 'April's' and everybody is talking about the events of the last film. What I like about this silly film is the fact it follows on from the original perfectly. It looks fantastic and is a glorious little moment to get you hyped. But more thugs arrive, its at that point the turtles stroll in behind Reyes (just out of focus), leap over his head, the image freezes and the classic Turtles logo/film title appears emblazoned across the screen in bright bold colours. First impressions.holy Air Nikes Batman! this kid got game!! he kicks ass and then some!. When he gets there he discovers its being robbed by a large group of masked men and decides to take a few of them on.


sporting a stylish mullet and delivering pizza to an address. Straight away in the opening credits I knew I was gonna like this, the small sequence montage in New York is simple but brings back many memories of the era.boom boxes!.įrom there we see a very young Ernie Reyes, Jr. I haven't seen this film in eons and good golly its dated heavily, there is some serious nostalgia here folks.
