Unlike the insipid earlier edition, there is a genuine effort to create a consistent story this time around. To say this one is notches above its predecessor on every count is not overplaying the praise. There is a marked improvement in the writing, even if it isn’t consistent. The Ninja Turtles stand out as individual characters with distinct personalities, each of whom have their own share of pain to deal with. The Greens never lets you ponder over the silliness. Instead he delivers some slick action sequences to keep you hooked. This is strictly a popcorn entertainment which is good while it lasts but offers nothing to take back home.
