Everybody Likes To Hate On The Michael Bay-Era Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movies, But Here's Why I've Kind Of Come Around On Them

The four brothers making music together in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I used to think that the Michael Bay-era Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies were some of the worst TMNT films ever made.

In fact, when I ranked all of the live-action Ninja Turtles movies, I put 2014’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 2016’s Out of the Shadows near the bottom of the list (Though not at the very bottom, which I’ll get into later). Fans of Turtle Power are usually in agreement that there are many other better TMNT films, with the most recent one, Mutant Mayhem, being my absolute favorite.
