Run Time: 112
Minutes; Rated: PG

This
sequel was announced just two days after TMNT (2014) was released. Here these
four reprise their roles when they are called upon once again to restore
justice and protect New York City, their home, from the key player of The Foot
Clan. Yes I am referring to Shredder, this time played by Brian Tee (Wolverine 2013). He is menacing and a true
match for the fearsome foursome. Well, almost. But their challenge is two-fold
because they also come into conflict with T.C.R.I. scientist Dr. Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry)
who hires Shredder to create mutants of his own to even
the score.
Meanwhile,
the Turtles discover a Retro-Mutagen and
hope manifests they can become humans following an extraterrestrial invasion
above New York City led by the Dimension X inhabitant known as Krang. With Krang's Invasion, the Turtles are
of course are mentored with precise wisdom in preparation to their fight by
their Master, Splinter.
Just
like the proceeding films, that wisdom would strengthen their resolve. Success
always seems to be contingent on the out-of-the- ordinary. This was cleverly
introduced through the use of theme music from Ocean’s Eleven. You’ll get it.
When
you add up all the elements that went into this production it is plain to see
why it is still iconic. Even with the replacement of Director Jonathan
Liebesman by David Green (Earth to Echo) the
execution of the scenes remained as effective. Kudos also go to Producer Josh
Appelbaum (executive producer of several episodes of Zoo television series) and Phil Barrie (Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice) 2016 for the sound editing of
this film. It’s difficult to not to entertain with this entire cast and crew.
