Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is terrific. I definitely had a big smile on my face for most of this movie.

And why’s that? Nostalgia? Revisiting my childhood?

No.

I loved this movie because it felt like the people making it actually cared about the CHARACTERS, and that the characters behaved and spoke true to themselves as mutants and/or teenagers or father figures or relatably embittered and vengeful bad guys.

And then built overtop of that is a clear “destroy all humans” plot that easily carries a simple story of longing to belong in a world that typically runs from or destroys anything regarded as unfamiliar or alien, which is exactly how people would initially react to four teenage mutant ninja turtles, their giant rat father, and all of their mutant bad guy cousins seeking revenge for humanity’s mutant-phobia.

This movie brings it on every level: A fresh and apt style of animation, good humor, good fun, motivated bad guys with a sympathetic plot, excellent characterization and fulfillment of individual character arcs, a KILLER soundtrack, lots of pizza and all wrapped up in the most comprehensive and appropriately awkward origin story the turtles have ever seen on the big screen. All that’s left to say my dear McCurdy, is cowabunga.
