Rise of the TMNT: The Movie

Leo vs Krang

The much-slept-upon Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was already known to aficionados for its killer animation, but this year’s movie, serving as a fond farewell to this take on the heroes in a half-shell, went to another level. None of that was clearer than in the final battle between the brothers and their new nemesis, the villainous Krangs, culminating in a dazzling solo spotlight on Leonardo as he well and truly stepped into the role of team leader in stunning style—a free-fall, debris-strewn, kinetic slug fest between himself and the Krang… with a last-minute save from his family, because that’s what TMNT is really all about.
