Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Reviewed by Liel

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie is a new remake of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, directed by Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears. This story follows four brothers: Donatello, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Raphael. Who just so happen to be teenage mutant turtles, whose dream was to be able to go to high school and be a normal kid. But their dad, Splinter (Jackie Chan), doesn't let them due to his belief that all humans are mean and vile creatures and would only leave them more hurt than before. I believe that this movie shows a realistic teenager living in this generation, it showcases a lot of real 'slang' that teenagers use in their day-to-day lives. In previous remakes, the teenage mutant ninja turtles have a more co-worker relationship rather than loving supportive brothers towards one another. But, in this one, they truly care for each other and would do anything to help support each other and make sure they're all safe. Another thing, the visuals this movie shows are unlike anything I've seen, they're colourful and sort of look hand drawn which really brings out the message the movie tries to show us, the audience about their journey. Having said all this information, I would  give this movie 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend teenagers to give this a watch simply because the slang and terminology used would make better sense to them.
