Initial Reaction
In all honesty I wasn't really looking forward to this film as much as everybody else. It mainly stemmed from the fact that I didn't read the miniseries. So before the trailer showed up I read the miniseries and I gotta say it was good. It was nothing deep or thought provoking it was just a nice little team-up comic. Then the trailer showed up and it became one of those films that I didn't know I wanted in my life.
Cons
One thing I didn't like was Robin's voice. To me it sounded like they were telling Ben Giroux (the voice of said character) to try too hard to sound like a young kid. The other thing I did't like was the title itself. Now yes, I did expect this to be a team-up movie as suppose to a "vs" movie but it's a little hard to be called a "vs" when you only have one fight and that's it.
Middle Ground
The movie's animation was great. It was well done and there was really nothing I hated about it. Although I do admit and maybe it's just me but I felt like whenever they did something in slow-motion it looked a little a awkward. Other than that it was really good.
Pros
One thing you'll enjoy about the movie is the voice work (aside from Robin's) is all great. Especially Troy Baker. The guy almost comes close to sounding just like Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill. Another part of the film to love is it's humor. There are a lot of funny moments most of them of course come from the turtles (especially Michelangelo's fanboying). Now to talk about the action...it's awesome. There are so many great action scenes that I don't know which one's my favorite. The other aspect I'll give the action credit for is how surprisingly brutal it is. I mean it's more intense than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film from 1990.
Batman vs. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may have it's flaws but it's a film where the good out weights the bad. It has good voice work (mostly from Troy Baker), the humor is hilarious, and the action is awesome. The mix bag is when the animation has it's slow-mo moments. The only things I didn't like where Robin's voice and the misleading title.
My final rating is Good
Alright everybody that's going to do it for me. Come back on Monday, May 20th when I return to the Road to Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker with my review of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
