TMNT Out of Shadows Spoiler Free Review & Toys, Too

TMNT 2 Out of the Shadows Toys

I went to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows today after I woke up from my morning nap. I was not a fan of the previous movie but after seeing that Stephen Amell would be in TMNT2 and then to find out that characters Bebop and Rocksteady would also be in the movie I got interested. I was pleasantly surprised by the movie.

The second installment was a marked improvement over the first movie. One issue with the previous movie was the lack of action with the turtles and a terrible origin story. With that first movie out of the way and all but forgotten in my mind I could certainly go and enjoy this movie with an open mind. The action was non stop with very little downtime and that was cool. Amell did a good job portraying Casey Jones but he was a bit too clean cut for it, not rough enough around the edges. Not enough action with him either.

Bebop and Rocksteady were some big time fun additions to the movie. They were also crude and disgusting in a humorous way and I’m sure that younger fans are going to love them. The character designs for these two were awesome. I liked them better than the turtles but the turtle’s looks have grown on me.

I wouldn’t dig too deeply into this movie. It is definitely a popcorn chomper full of mega action that defies all sorts of physics and logic. Plot holes that you could drive The Tartaruga Brother’s Garbage Truck through. It doesn’t matter because the movie is fun, visually cool and a good kick off to the Summer.

In the video below I give you more of my review and also I unbox a bunch of great Turtles toys from Playmates.

TMNT Mutations: Ninja to Weapon

We received a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutations figure. This is a Raphael Ninja Turtle to Weapon figure and it turns from turtle to his two Sai weapons. This was the second Mutations figure that I received and I like this one way better than the Ninja Turtle to the Pet Turtle. The transformation was very simple and easy enough for the kids to do right away. I could figure most of it out without the use of the instructions so that was fun. Much of it snapped into place and held very well. I made a video all about it that you can see below.


*One mistake I made in the video. There is no Donatello figure. Continue reading TMNT Mutations: Ninja to Weapon
