Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)

While this film still has its flaws, it did a lot more for fan service. It felt like a Saturday morning cartoon come to life but this time not cringe. Shredder is a villain that keeps getting misused. The only film he was decent was the previous movie but his dialogue kinda sucked. Krang should not have worked in live-action but he did. Oliver Queen as Casey Jones is a fitting choice. Everything about this movie improved the last one. The plot is still very unoriginal and done before. That being said, this one nailed the Turtle movie formula and I would have loved to see a third movie come out to at least give them a proper final climax and nail everything perfectly.
