  ★★★★½ Added

  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem 2023

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Aug 2023

  took my 9 year old cousin to see this. i’m so grateful itsv paved the way for this genre. in the over saturated superhero slosh that oozes through the theaters each year, fresh takes reignite my shrunken boyish love for them I hold in my heart. especially sitting next to little cuz who was cracking up at the jokes, and eating up every second.
  this movie has some great characters with wonderful voice work. the teens are so teen. the dad is so dad. it’s relatable, fun, and gleeful. 

  i’m down for another.
