Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

Two years after the first CGI turtle-fest, we have reassembled just about everyone for a return match with the "Shredder". It's whilst he is on a prison transfer that he is to break out from captivity and take up his quest for global domination once again. Luckily, the determined reporter "April" (Megan Fox) gets wind of this plan and alerts our intrepid heroes, but it's too late to prevent his escape. Not only that but the wily scientist "Baxter" (Tyler Perry) has managed to develop a teleport device that is going to empower "Shredder". When that malfunctions and introduces him to the powerful "Krang" from another dimension, he becomes imbued with surely some unstoppable technology - as well as giving him two genetically modified hoodlums - "Rock Steady" and "Bepop". Yeah, I know - by this point I was beginning to lose the will, but I think this might be marginally better than the 2014 outing. There's more of a story here as the heroes take on their nemesis, and deal with mutating mutants whilst also raising some philosophical issues around their own "humanity". This latter development causes a little friction amongst our otherwise loyal friends and reminds them that honesty is always the best policy! There's plenty of action and though it ends up very similar to the last in this franchise, I found it a passable effort. Not that I'd ever bother watching it again.
