Since their introduction in the pages of a comic book back in 1984, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have now seen seven film adaptations. Somehow, this animated version is the first one to feature actual teenagers portraying the heroes in half shells. And the film is all the better for it, taking the enthusiasm, immaturity and general goofiness of its young cast and infusing the titular characters with an infectious energy that makes this film a blast to watch.
The horror genre has no shortage of teenagers messing with foreign entities and objects they have no business possessing, let alone turning it into some twisted game as it so often becomes. Talk to Me becomes another entry into that list, looking into the often treaded despair of grief, and the perils of teenage peer pressure and life in a digital age.
The DC Extended Universe has had more than its fair share of issues since its inception almost a decade ago to the day, but no individual film features the number of behind the scenes issues that The Flash has had.
