Review
Almost 400 reviews ago, I reviewed the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, and I liked it, it was fun to watch, it had good action, and it aimed for a specific goal of entertainment succeeded. The second aims a bit lower, with more silliness and puns. And...it isn't half bad. While not as good as the first, the second film doesn't veer off completely off the deep end, though crashing into a rap concert by Vanilla Ice comes extremely close to the deep end. The actors are fine, not too shabby. Shredder with Bebop and- I mean Tokka and Rahzar are okay, and while the action is injected with silliness, it manages to at least have some entertainment, not as much as the first, but just enough for some, I suppose.
Overall, I give it 6 out of 10 stars.
