Movies: The TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles are back, and maybe better than ever in TMNTMovie MutantMayhem
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" -- ★ ★ ★ There are some good gags and clever innovations in the animated"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem," but there is one brilliant idea: casting Ice Cube as the voice of the movie's mutant insect supervillain Super Fly.
"Mutant Mayhem," in theaters now, can't entirely get over the feeling of trodding over well-covered turtle ground. But if we must go once more into the ooze, the film by director Jeff Rowe and co-written by co-producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is probably the best of a not-so-stellar franchise. It's certainly the one most invested with that"teenage" part of the turtles' name. Plus, it's got Ice Cube as a fly who quotes from the O'Jays.
by signing up you agree to our terms of service If"Barbie" was balanced between Greta Gerwig's childhood memories and her adult feminism,"Mutant Mayhem" gives itself over more fully to the mindset of adolescence. That's in the gross-out humor and the comic book-like feel of the animation. But these are also recognizable teenagers who watch movies , pine for concert tickets and make goofy phone videos of themselves slicing watermelons.
Splinter has much the same opinion of the majority of the rats in"Ratatouille": Humans can't be trusted. So the turtles have grown up underground, a little like the home-schooled family of"The Wolfpack," while yearning for the wider world.
