The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie proves once again that taking creative risks can pay off big time
story first and foremost, taking us back to the characters’ mutant origins and the reasons behind their heroic aspirations. They’re the ultimate outcasts, sheltered down in the sewers by their adoptive father Master Splinter for their own good, or so he believes. Their shared arc is laid out as a quest for acceptance from the human world, and becoming heroes seems to be the shortest path to getting there. It’s just natural adolescent angst, amplified yet still relatable.
The filmmakers are well aware that all of these characters will be familiar to fans, so they take care in keeping their essence while still updating and upgrading them for a modern audience. In keeping with the art style of a teenage amateur, the goons and background characters are not always well drawn. They sometimes have Picasso-like faces, or simplistic features. It all fits together, though, as part of the greater aesthetic.
