WHAT IS OUT OF THE SHADOWS?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows (2016) is the sequel to the first 2014 film in the new series. The plot centers on Shredder’s freedom from prison and the renewed attempt by Krang to plunge New York City in a new darkness.
Though the film had an improved score of 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, reviews were mixed and its box office performed less than the first one. Particularly, the plot seemed to lack focus and the characters were not fully developped.
As a result, Paramount Pictures greenlit a reboot. Let’s list the reasons why despite its problems, the movie deserved a sequel.
