Review: I found the prequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows a little disappointing, mainly due to the differences in what I remembered of the characters, from my childhood. However in saying that, I was definitely not disappointed by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, I found myself remembering and associating the film with the original characters of the cartoon.

It was great to meet Bebop and Rocksteady again in this movie as they have always been my favourite Henchmen and the main antagonist to the turtles. I found the character traits where pretty spot on in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. I enjoyed that the style was similar to that of the original cartoon including Bebop wearing his signature purple Mohawk and visor and the general foolish behaviour of them both.

I was also pleasantly surprised to meet Krang as the character was extremely well thought-out and appeared better than I would have imagined. For a villain he definitely delivered a presence to the audience that was both threatening and entertaining.

If you are a fan of the original TV series you will enjoy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows as it has refreshingly followed closely to the original cartoon story.
