Honestly I think this was the krang’s most menacing interpretation, these aliens were actually terrifying

Draxum wasn’t there because Nickelodeon told the creators and crew that the movie HAD to be able to be seen by newcomers and on its own. That’s also why the Hidden City is never brought up or Big Mama or anyone. Apparently they even had to fight to just get the one small scene with Hypno and Warren. Which was only allowed cuz they were finally able to convince Nick that the 2 didn’t really need explaining for newcomers outside of the fact they’re just villains

This movie had me on EDGE, between Raphael almost dying, Donnie losing his battle shell, and Leo getting left in the kraang dimension. I was amazed about how detailed everything was. Movie had me in tears a couple times.

I love how the movie adressed Rise!Leo's character flaws and had him learn how to become a proper leader, without undermining Raph's ability. By the end of the movie he definitely stands among the great versions of Leonardo. Also Rise Krang is horrifying. The Rise Turtles with their mystic powers are so absurdly overpowered, and he just flicks their combined attack away like it's nothing. He's so powerful they never actually beat him the normal way.

One dark thing about the Kraang that I love was when the scrawny dude that was leader of the Foot said to them "We live to serve." but the big brother replied back with "You serve whether you live or die". They were so fucked.

The writers really said "you know to go out on a high note let's give the boys TRAUMA and everyone joy mixed with HEARTBREAK." Cause my god just....DAMN. I think oddly one of my favorite moments is when Leo arrives after Raph sent him in the escape pod just....the attention to detail in that scene was great. When you're in the middle of a panic attack like Leo had everything is just muffled asf, the heavy breathing, then BAM Leo was pissed. And they mentioned the soft shell thing for Donnie, and Mikey threw a WHOLE ASS BUILDING ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Ugh. The FACT that we'll never get to see Leo grow into his own as a leader like 03 Leo and 2012 Leo makes me MUCH sad.

5 minutes into the movie and I heard Leo say "badass" I knew the movie would be good from there. Incredible animation and a great story. Rise of the TMNT was the only good cartoon nick had and they just dropped it. Hopefully Netflix do something to pick it up (although Netflix might not be much better)

This movie had the best krang period, in every other TMNT I have always been bored with krang but rottmnt krang had a ton of personality and were actually terrifying

DUDE the part where Raph protected Leo from the krang's tentacle was done unbelievably well, the sudden change in colors, the splatter, the silence, it was awesome, you could actually feel the emotions, or maybe it was just me cuz i havent seen anyone mention it, but it was top tier trauma

The Krang in this movie were a legit GALACTIC LEVEL THREAT. I'm talkin "Call Kirby" type stuff. I legit teared up on the back end of the movie because there were so many "What the hell are they gonna do now" moments that had me TENSE

I love this movie this definitely felt like a Leo movie. He learns about what it means to be a leader and definitely grew up. As for Raph I'm glad they didn't go the jealous route with him and that he's okay with Leo being the leader but just want him to stop being so egocentric and learn to listen and rely on his family.

Lowkey. I thought this movie was gonna be alright, but when I watched it…my mind was blown! I loved how Leo stopped fighting Raph because…that’s his brother, my dad always said: “Y’all aren’t supposed to fight against each other, y’all are supposed to fight together.” And that’s what Leo realized.

This is easily in my top 3 tmnt movies. Feels like a natural but darker evolution of everything Rise built on. The animation and emotions for this movie are so fucking powerful as well. Side note: love how Casey’s mask reflects his admiration with Leo through the red marks. And goddamn did the Rise movie put an overall on making Kraang so freaking dangerous.

I really hope this movie succeeds, so we could possibly get more Rise content in the future And from what it looks like, it seems to be doing really well, even getting to the Top 3 on Netflix I really hope we can get a possible season 3 or maybe even a game for it, I just don't want it to die off so soon

I love the recreation of Leo Vs Raph rivalry. Because Raph only motivates Leo to be better leader, while Leo is just careless.

I was a rise hater, but after watching the movie I might give it a shot Also Casey's chain hockey stick is giving me 40k chain axe vibes and it's sick

I am about to watch it a third time cause god damn if you look closely the animators didn't just go hard in the action scenes. But there are just these moments that they go hard in general. There are so many scenes where they went the extra mile for just facial expressions, hand gestures, you could read everything by their body language and face and didn't need to say a word for you to understand exactly what they are thinking or feeling. I also actually have my own thoughts about Rise when it comes to the Leadership role. In every past incarnation, the leadership role went to the most skilled and most disciplined of them. Leo was always the more mature one or at least the one who respected closer to Master Splinters traditional teachings while the other three adapted to more their own styles. But here in Rise everyone kind of is on the same wave length. There is no outstanding student each of them have their own skills and talents and also flaws and hang ups. So I think in Rise the role of "Leader" is actually meant to be a next step in their individual training. Raphael was the leader because he is the oldest brother so it just naturally fell to him first. But for those that watch the series we see his main issues is not his temper, but rather his overprotective nature of his brothers and his tendency to give into pressure. Though a lot of times the pressure he feels is self inflicted and we see that in the movie too, where Raph is trying to break through to Leo about taking the role seriously, Raph says that as the oldest HE has to look out for his brothers all the time, in fear that if he doesn't they'll end up dying under his watch. Raphael needed to learn to TRUST his team to be able to handle themselves and to help him and not need to protect them at all times. Something that the leadership role forced him to do and in the finale that was something he conquered. Raphael matured and grew into not only a complete warrior but more sure of himself as a person. So now the role has been passed to Leonardo, who is not taking it seriously, he doesn't plan, he relies the heaviest on his mystic powers but his biggest thing is thinking that the ends justify the means and that he has the answers. Thus he as the leader is needing to learn to LISTEN to his team. He needs to cooperate and not take charge and he has to learn the consequences of his actions do not JUST effect him but also his family. Something that he would not learn without being the leader and forced to see first hand even in the harshest of ways, that he has to think beyond himself now when the lives of others are dependent under his choices. I really like this indication that the leadership role isn't a privilege but a learning opportunity. And maybe if the series were to continue we would have seen Donnie and Mikey also take their turns in being the leader to conquer their fears and flaws and grow, where maybe then after all four brothers had a turn they would decide a permanent one. But that's at least my thoughts on the matter.

this movie was way too good to not bring the show back for season 3

This movie was good. Hit the emotions from the beginning and the action was entertaining. Also liked how Leo was starting to mature a bit. Ralph is still my favorite turtle tho. Can’t ever do better than Ralph screaming “DAMMMMMNNNNN!!!” In the OG movie 😆 ✌️

The body count for this movie is surprisingly high, especially with on screen deaths, Mannnnnnn This movie is packed full of TURTLE POWER

This movie was honestly epic. Loved the krang in this movie and how they are more deadly this movie. I really how leo finally became a good leader because that argument him and Casey had. I will admit I thought it was a bit harsh what Casey said to leo but leo needed that. He had to learn that he can't let his cookyness get in the way of the mission. The scene when they are in the future was very dark. There was death, blood, and leo swears in that scene. This movie also scared me at some times. Like when leo is about to be stabbed and raph saves him, or when leo is stuck in the krang dimension and that krang is beating the shit out of him, for I minute I thought he was gonna die. Over I would give this movie a 10/10. Favorite tmnt movie

I've been talking about the concept of turtles forever 2 FOR YEARS and i still wanna see it so badly 😭 i especially want to see the 2003 turtles interact with the 2012 ones (cuz both are my favorite and im really curious to see how they would interact with each other) AND i also really want 2003 to interact with the rise turtles since they're like the polar opposites of each other (maybe except for the mikeys??) LIKE i can literally see them be like "i cant believe we're the same person" IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS

They really had Leo bleeding out in the first minute of the film...GOATED MOVIE 💯

One of the things I feel that makes ROTMNT's Kraang terrifying is how powerful they are. Right out the gate Kraang one decimates the turtles, even with their powers. He just takes it away cause it's getting annoying. Another aspect is how they speak. Instead of being whiny or one note Kraang one and two actually have personalities. The voice actors brought their A-game

As a Rise fan I was expecting the same thing, but oh my gosh, they went all out!! That fight against Krang was insane! And not only that, but Krang's design is legit terrifying! And yes, edit that Casey mask!

keep in mind for those who want this show back!!! this show isn’t cancelled, its hard paused. this means that if the movie and the show do well on netflix we have a great chance of getting it back if we make sure our support for it is known!!

I knew this movie would go hard because these animators don't know how to go easy cause HOLY FUCK this is my jam! My hope against hopes is that we get more Rise episodes because these creators deserved better than they got. I could honestly watch these scenes and still feel the hype, the impact, and the emotion every time.

Personally I loved the show and the movie did a great job! I just wish they had answered some unanswered questions like why splinter picked Leo as leader? What was that blue liquid that April got and who made it? What they gonna do with the sister kraang? What specifically happened to Donatello and Raphael in that future timeline?

this movie made the krang feel menacing and just overall badass. this movie also had me feeling all types of emotion it was so good!

I watched both seasons of Rise and once I seen the movie it cemented it’s place as my favorite incarnation. The visuals, the animation, the freaking music! It was just so good. Honestly Leo was never my fav turtle, but this is my favorite version of Leo especially his great development. Honestly we do need a turtle forever 2. It’ll make for a grand epic also I want to know how everyone react to rise shredder

I watched this movie yesterday and I gotta say it's a pretty good watch, and I like how they brought back Casey Jones and the Kraang for this plot. The movie makes me wish that nick didn't cancel this show.

I am a sucker for horror movies and what surprised me is that the krang in this non-horror, appropriate for kids (in my opinion) movie are genuinely scary compared to most creatures and monsters in actual horror movies meant for adults. Also I do want to mention how much I absolutely loved how heavy it got. I adore the exploration of emotions in film and how they act, so seeing Leo grow from this mildly egotistical show-off that ignores his team to this really serious but still misguided state after Raph gets taken and then peaking with that absolutely heartbreaking self-sacrifice (I officially cried more watching this movie than during Endgame, and some tears got wrenched out right at the very beginning). I haven't seen other TMNT shows or movies specifically due to the visuals. I'm super particular about this kind of stuff so there's actually a fuck ton of stuff I'm interested in but can't watch simply because my eyeballs disagree with it, so Rise was the only TMNT show (and now movie) that was genuinely inviting and never let me down. Even with my sensitivity to second-hand embarrassment (like 200%), I'm just really happy to have found something I don't feel the need to skip through a scene even once. I really, *really* hope this movie does well because the fact that the show didn't even finish with the planned episode count (rushed arcs at the end was the result) crushed me and I really want it to continue. This stiff is absolutely amazing and the characters at the core are so well written that the untapped potential deserves to be showed. What a wonderful video, I really enjoyed it.

god i loved this movie so much. not only was it beautifully animated, but the characters felt incredibly grounded and real. their decisions made sense on a human emotional level and they are what progress the story. i loved that the villain was truly evil and terrifying. i love that we got to see every character hold their strengths. i also loved the comedic balancing in this movie. perfect use of bathos pulling no punches for outlandish situations but also never punching during heavy emotional beats. the show and the movie are amazing works of art that i hold dear to my heart

Tbh, I was glad that the Rise TMNT at least got a movie. It was nice to see the turtles one last time. I doubt we will see them again, I do hope we do. But seeing the way Nick treated the show, this is the last hoorah. Loved the movie.

I liked the movie a lot. My favourite TMNT character has always been Donnie, so naturally I really enjoyed him in this movie, but I also really liked this iteration's Casey - he may be my favourite Casey yet, even if he didn't do much. On that note, I do wish he had more to do. But yeah, a Turtles Forever 2 would be great

Can we take a moment to appreciate the creativity of making them all different turtle species? Leo: Red Eared Slider Raph: Alligator Snapping Turtle Donnie: Soft Shelled Turtle Mikey: Box Turtle It gives a great reason for Raph to be huge compared to the others! And in the movie when Donnie loses his shell protecting Mikey or when he takes it off to interface with the machine, you admire him for putting himself at that much risk to help the others. LOVED this movie, especially after recently binging the show. Even if they can't revive it, I would at least settle for another movie or two!

I watched it once I found out it could be seen on Netflix. DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT! And man the Krang were actually scary. The animation was all around chef's kiss, and god dangit My jaw actually dropped at certain times, especially with how easily the Krang were possessing people.

DOUBLE THUMBS UP THIS BAD BOY OF A MOVIE BOYS, GALS AND NONBINARY PALS!!! My personal favourite parts: - Casey tearing Leo's personality apart - Mikey getting all the hugs he deserves - The brothers protecting each other every chance they get - "Keep it down. Keep it dooown Daddy!" - How Raph, Mikey and Donnie all work together to save Leo in the end!!! Like HOLY SHIT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO THIS HARD

The animators for Rise are Flying Bark Productions! Their fight scenes are literally always so amazing. Another show they animated that has equally awesome fight scenes by them is LEGO Monkie Kid (yes, Lego. Except to the contrary, it’s 2D, not stop-motion or CGI!). It’s a show based on the legendary Chinese story Journey To The West (though you barely need to know anything about it to watch the show), presenting itself as a hypothetical sequel set in modern times. There’s probably other people who can explain it a bit better, but that’s the basic gist of it! Its animation is stellar and just as good as Rise of the TMNT - maybe you could check it out sometime!

I’m so glad others are noticing it!! I get that what happened to Teen Titans gave everyone trust issues with reboots but the attitudes toward the show were so negative most people didn’t even wanna give it a chance. The animation, storytelling and characters are soooo good!!

i think it is fair to say this might be the best Krang species in the franchise. like i personally like to think after the crossover specials with the 80's and 2012 versions that the multiverse just has these aliens just venture around, jumping from multiverse to multiverse trying to find multiple worlds to conquer and so forth. like how i would believe the Bay Turtles version was a more ruthless commander of sorts and thus went on he's own or like the 80's Krang, who was just inferior to the rest of he's race and was "put in charge" of another multiverse. same goes for this version of Krang: came to another dimension, thousands of years before the current timeline, and began growing in numbers and power, advancing their tech to what we seen in the movie and being stopped by Feudal Japan warriors. these Krang, both in stature and power, are much more adapt and stronger with their bodies and thus are way stronger than the Krang from other multiverses. not to mention way more bloodthirsty as they clearly had most of their kind killed in the Prison dimension because they were "weak", let alone out to kill anyone and anything in their way as tyrannical as they were before captured. even shows in their suits as it clearly triples their power and then some. like the team could barely hold back 2 separately and the lead Krang had to be put back in the Prison Dimension. grant it, this is just my headcannon due to the whole TMNT Multiverse thing brought up over and over again but it makes some sense.

I thankfully haven’t seen anyone comment negative things about how raph “magically” came back from the mind control just cuz Leo talked to him. Normally this would exhaust me… but as an oldest child and a childcare worker with a “mama bear” complex’s, I 1000% would have gone to hell and back and fought off anything to protect my loved ones. It’s such a big sibling move. The whole movie had a chance to be awful with the same plot as every other hero movie (the sky opening over New York literally happens all the time) but the way it was animated, voice acted, and even just the way it was written and paced, it genuinely kept you wrapped in the middle of what was happening. Because it was something done before, they could shift all their focus from writing some convoluted twisty mess of a plot and could focus on just making everything else fantastic. It genuinely had me on edge and concerned. That hasn’t happened in ages during hero movies for me. God I love this show and I love this movie; it’s definitely my favorite of all the versions. I could info dump about it for ages

YES!!! I've been waiting for you to review this, Jax! The morning of August 5, I immediately turned on my TV, turned on Netflix, and loved everything about the movie. Obviously, the animation speaks for itself. They were willing to multiply the amount of animation put into a normal episode by 20, and the results were fantastic. Not to mention, swears. The move to Netflix likely gave them more freedom there, and I am not mad about it at all (Donnie actually said half-cocked, which was hilarious). I understand the movie doesn't do THAT much to bring in old fans of the previous iterations of the TMNT franchise, but the whole point of it, along with the show itself, was that it was pretty much a fresh start that boosted the comedy, wasn't afraid to get morbid at times, and showcased a style we haven't seen in TMNT. Frankly, I'm not really sure what new iteration of TMNT can be done after Rise in terms of artstyle and animation. Not that an eventual new TMNT needs to top it in those regards, it's just hard (for me, at least) to picture what more can be done with the francise to differentiate itself from previous series.

i love how the eyes in this film are dark and the whites are more grey, and then there’s the bright highlight. it makes it so much more dramatic and sad and scary. it’s so cool donnies “sorry….data collection calms me down” was so cute omg the way he looked down i love donnie omg

Honestly that scene with all 4 Turtles fighting Krang was one of the best action scenes I've ever seen, this movie was just really good man I'm so sad that potential and talent like this is being wasted because some people don't like it

Okay, yeah, Turtles Forever 2 time! While I'm most familiar with the 2003 Turtles because I actually grew up with that compared to the others, I can hands down say that Rise has officially earned my utmost love by being the most ANIME of them all! Seriously, Raph, Leo, and Splinter were the biggest highlights of this show, not to mention how they still remixed everyone else well enough and had the best fight choreography of all time! So much love and respect, and I can't wait to see the animators get some more stuff to play with!

This is my favorite version of TMNT because it mixes the gravity of the older versions with a fresh style that is more aesthetically pleasing to me.

I love how the turtle's couldn't beat the leader Krang, even with all there mystic powers combined (except Raph's cloning) he was still whooping there ass's and had to trap him again.

That movie absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. It was funny, emotional, animated BEAUTIFULLY and was overall phenomenal

LETS GOO been HYPED FOR YOUR REVIEW!

Me discovering ROTTMNT: ARE YOU KIDDING!? THEY ARE PLANNING TO DESTROY THIS AS WELL!? Me decided to give it a chance and watches the first few episodes: ok this is.......interesting. Me watches the entire series:OHHHHH THAT WAS AWESOME! I NEED MORE! Me watches the movie:THIS IS AN AMAZING VERSION OF THE TMNT! AND I NEED MORE!

10:36 That Impression was SCARY ACCURATE lmaoo

I'm honestly still a little bitter that, even though they didn't retcon Cassandra (cus that would've pissed me off), she still got slightly pushed aside for a more "classic" Casey Jones when we could've used this movie to make her shine more. I still like Future!Casey and Haley Joel Osment is always a win, but I would've liked to see Cassandra involved in the plot.

I really enjoyed this movie. I’d even go as far as to say that it IS the BEST thing to come out of the whole Rise incarnation! I am still one of those people who slightly prefers the more cinematic styled Samurai Jack-ish action of TMNT 2012, but even I gotta say the action in this movie kept me WAY more engaged and glued to my phone then some of the best action of the 2012 show combined (Sorry Ciro). Which is why it’s such a shame that this is most likely the last bit of material that’s gonna come out of this era of the franchise (especially if you look at some of the things that got cut like the originally intended SEASON LONG Krang story arc or this incarnation’s version of The Rat King that was being planned), but if this movie HAS to be the absolute last thing to come out of Rise (even though the movie left some things obviously open), I’d say this series left on a TREMENDOUS high note! Bravo Ant Ward and Andy Suriano! You guys obviously didn’t get to do as much as you wanted, but you poured your hearts and souls into what was left, and for that you two get my tremendous kudos as creative artists in the hellhole that is the animation business. Now if only we could BUY this movie to watch it over and over without relying on a single streaming service where it’s hosted. That would be really nice. Speaking as someone who was once a unfortunate Rise detractor, for those that haven’t seen the series OR this movie, PLEASE check them both out. It IS different from what you’re used to out of this franchise, but I think it’s unique/fun enough to be worth your time.

I accidentally watched the movie before the actual series so honestly I’m kinda sad about that. To be honest I definitely feel that if I had watched the series first the ‘climax’ would’ve hit me a lot harder. Obviously even without watching the series it hit me a lot, but after watching the series then I feel like I would’ve been more shocked and stuff

I’ve never watched any tmnt content before rise, and I honestly really liked it! I feel like it owns it’s differences to what I’ve heard of the past iterations, I loved the comedy (donnie is largely the main reason I watched past episode 1) I love the character design and how well it handles silouhettes between the four compared to the twin-ness of previous iterations, and the show itself is just so visually astounding and funky! I think it tended to drag on a bit in terms of the boys having to relearn a couple lessons every now and then, but that honestly never actually took anything away from my watching experience. It’s just a cool charming show! I watched rise to prepare myself for the movie (so many edits showed up on my tik tok fyp,,) and man, it did NOT disappoint. These kids suffering like that dealt me so much psychic damage I almost had to step away and take a breather when the Kraang went into Raph’s memory like that. I felt a pit in my stomach even in the opening scenes when I realized that Raph and Donnie were already gone in the apocalypse world, I can’t imagine what kind of weight that put on Leo’s shoulders knowing how the Foot originally got the key. This movie was so tense and sad and funny and hype, I really hope it does well enough for there to be a rise season 3!

im glad i took the time to mute any spoilers regarding rottmnt on twitter and watched the 2 seasons before i watched the movie. i knew that it was awesome because so many people loved it, BUT I STILL DIDNT EXPECT THE MOVIE TO BE THIS PHENOMINAL.

Isn't this version of Krang the canonical most powerful entity in the tmnt multiverse to date? Both the Shredder and the turtles are some of the most powerful we've seen said characters be, and Krang absolutely runs circles around them in terms of power. So I would have no doubt that a Turtlea forever 2 would feature Rottmnt Krang as the main villain, and perhaps he manipulates other villains like the other krang and Shredders to do his bidding only to betray them in the end and turn them into mutated tentacle soldiers as it takes generations worth of turtles all across the multiverse just to beat this one dude. He's that powerful and scary

I’m screamed when Kraang 1 (The leader/most op one) had simply snapped his Mech suits fingers and destroyed the magic construct of the turtles!!! That shit was Hype

I didn’t even catch that Casey’s mask had Leo’s markings! Awesome job on this

I liked Rise. I hate why people didn't give it a chance. it was fun. They actually felt like gen z teens. And they really explored their relationship s with one another. I really hope people watch the movie enough to hope for a rise trilogy of movies. I wanna see slash and metalhead and Baxter in this universe. Also I really loved girl Casey throughout get arc and felt kind of robbed of not seeing her in this

I sincerely hope a Rise of the TMNT artbook is released, it's so visually beautiful

When I saw the movie for the first time it surprised the HELL out of me when the turtles started to fight the kraang in their base form and they just BLOCKED THEIR HITS even Leo's sword. And not only that they won the fight against all of them without even needing their suits. I had NEVER seen that before. Usually when the suit is gone you stop worrying cause after all, it's just a squishy sentient brain that isn't much of a threat or a fight. It gives the impression that they could win and take down the Earth WITHOUT their suits they just put them on because it simply makes the process faster. So knowing that they made the Shredder armor in the first place and how much it took to stop THAT, mixed with the fact they couldn't even stop an average kraang, it made the idea of the technodrome coming through and them getting the suits all the more terrifying. Shredder was a flea compared to the insane beast that is the kraang. I was legit stressed watching this movie (in a good way!) wondering just what the hell the turtles were gonna do! I like that they left the door open for their return in season 3 though, if/when we ever get one.

I have come to appreciate Rise more since it’s initial release. And while it’s still not for me and I’ll never fully watch the series, I will forever sing praises about the animation and characters and just how creative they got with this iteration of the turtles. But the movie, just knocked it out of the park. Full on surprised me and kept me intrigued every step of the way. I will definitely come back to this movie more than once, and I just can’t praise it enough. They did so well, and it makes me sad that this is probably the last we’ll see of this version. I’m not sure if it’s still cancelled, but it seems like this might be it. If I’m wrong though, then great! (Honestly, the animation is absolutely my favourite. Got me to watch Lego Monkie Kid too cause I heard the same studio animated it and I was like “Oh sick.” So yeah, can’t give enough hype to the animation.)

personally the movie got me into watching the rise show. I barely watched any tmnt so Rise was technically the first one I watched and OMG I LOVE IT. I love the small details, the expressions, animation slays at every scene, etc. So seeing the Kraang were this cool in the movie, I expected they were scary in every adaptation? I was very wrong lol. Also I'm glad to see og tmnt fans watching Rise and the movie because I know a lot of people were put off by it for it's drastic difference. Rise being the first show I watched made it my favorite? Idk if it's because it was the first one I watched or because I hadn't watched any before. Or maybe just the art/animation/voice acting (I love Donnie and Leo's voice actors sm in Rise) but Rise is currently my favorite. That could change tho once I finish 2012! Ty for making these videos, I love hearing people talk about things I'm so interested in.

Honestly, now that ya mention it, if Turtles Forever 2 were to happen, i could somehow see our new Krang being the biggest threat there (if involved) if not, well maybe they could try and make another unseen TMNT villain in Rise that we haven't seen yet (like say the Triceradons or a multiverse-jumping Tempestra) the big bad But mad props to comin back on the turtles review for my boi Rise Casey

Kind of wish some characters got acknowledged, but other than that this film is still pretty awesome.

I positively adored Mikey in this movie, I had to rewatch the opening like 8 times

I saw Rise of the TMNT movie recently and it's pretty solid. The fights in the film were god tier but I kind of prefer the fight between the Turtles and the Shredder more IMO. But it's still awesome. I kind of love RotTMNT's take on the Krang/Utrom. It's a fusion between Carnage and Shuma-Gorath. A literal definition of Cosmic horror. Casey Jones was great but I wanted to know more about him and his future. Like how Donnie and Raph died? Or how did April helped make the Resistance against the Krang? I was legit curious about that. And I love the arc they gave Leonardo. I hope Rise of TMNT show plus movie(and the unmade season 2 episodes) gets a bluray release. Make a bluray release of fred Wolf's tmnt show, the TMNT 2k3 show and 2012's TMNT show while you at it. And yes I would love to see a Turtles Forever 2.

id like to thank you personally jax cuz i was never really into tmnt, but your analysis put me on to this movie releasing!! it was a damn good time, and if this is what theyre putting out turtles forever 2 is bound to be hype

I absolutely adore the art direction in Rise. I love the shape language and differentiation with the character designs that immediately show off their personality when you first see them! As a kid who grew up on the 2003 series I had problems telling the brothers apart and the unique character designs in Rise really helped with that! It's also clear that the artists had such a fun time utilizing perspective and timing and it makes the fight scenes in the series and movie absolutely wonderful to watch.

Great review! I love Rise! Definitely one of faves. Raph is my favorite in this show and this is my favorite incarnation of him. The finale of the show gave me chills. The movie on the other hand was mostly OK. I wish we didn't have to go through ANOTHER apocalyptic future arc. Not even singling out TMNT but the trope in general. I've seen it enough times to predict how the story would go. Raph was my highlight throughout the movie as he tries to get through Leo's thick skull the importance of working together and trusting his family. While I love the message, wasn't that literally the lesson they all taught Raph in the finale? It's redundant and led to my boy getting maimed and kidnapped. (Not cool Leo...) Aside from that, I did enjoy the Krang. Definitely the coolest incarnation of them imo. I couldn't get enough of their mechs. Combined with their ability to remove the turtles' mystic powers made the threat level 100% more menacing. Not a fan Casey here. Circling back to what I mentioned earlier, this was the guy who came back to the past to fix the apocalyptic future. I don't think he added anything to the story outside of being a plot device. I was bummed Cassandra wasn't introduced outside of a 10 second mention at the end. When she was revealed to be this show's Casey in the finale, I was BLOWN AWAY. *Chef's kiss* I audibly gasped because they built her up so well. All and all the movie was OK. Animation was top tier, even surpassing the finale tbh. The story was centered around Leo because why not. This lack luster feeling probably has to do with the show/movie being restricted by Nickelodeon to end ASAP so that really can't be helped. Sad that Mikey and Donny didn't really have much to do beyond being the fodder brothers who had random side stories that some how worked out perfectly to advance the story. Personally, I think if they ended with the series finale this show would be perfect. Instead, it felt more like a whimper.

this movie is currently tied for first place with the original movie for my favorite, it was EXQUISITE really hope rise comes back in the future, theres so much more they could do with it like Turtles Forever 2 lol

This movie says a lot in the sense that Rise can get dark when it wants to, after watching the series and watching the film I’ve got to say that it was a fun ride for those turtles. My only complaints were that Leo’s transition to leader’s never brought up and no characters or locations prior to the movie are brought up or shown.

I recently watched the Rise movie, it felt a lot different than the series and it was exactly what I wanted.

There is a quick shot at the start of the movie where we see april dead body that really shocked me

The EMOTION, the ANIMATION, THE VOICE ACTORS, THE ENVIRONMENTS JUST MWAH, CHEFS KISS

Turtlesforever2 Leo was my favorite character in this movie. Usually, Donnie is my favorite turtle in every incarnation, but I can't fool myself with how good they developed Leo here

definitely want Turtles Forever 2!! loved this movie (also want rise tmnt season 3)

I wish jax would make more videos like this where he just talks about things he enjoys

By the way, I love how it goes from third person to first person view in some scenes to make you felt what Leo is really going through.

Your Krang voices are PERFECT❗

Legit some of the Krang shots in this movie are print-and-frame worthy

can we talk about how all of your voice impressions are SPOT ON like HOW??!

Dude I saw the first few minutes heard Leo say “ badass mystic warrior” and thought this is gonna be different than I expected

I agree with you when it come to rise and the comedy, i could appreciate the show for what is was in season 1 and felt a hint of the story but the way episodes played out i could just not get into but i felt that season 2 especially the later episodes had more of a balance with the story and the humour so i actually liked season 2 especially the final few episodes . Overall, rise had amazing animation ,voice acting, character acting and fight scenes for both seasons and i reaaaaally enjoyed the movie, it had a great balance of action, comedy and heart that was just really well done. Also, the new Casey Jones is now my favourite character based on his design (which is sick) and the scene where he cussed out Leo.

Donnie is my favorite. All generations. He’s smart. He’s dorky. He relates to me all the way.

When I heard leo say "Badass" I knew this tmnt was gonna be intense and good asf.

Yo if turtles forever 2 happened, that would be so fire!! Seeing the other incarnations of the turtles again I would love that🙏🏽

This movie was damn near perfect and had the best KrAang

I initially wasn't a fan of ROT TMNT, but this movie sold me

I’ve been part of the TMNT fandom for a really long time, I remember my dad giving me his old action figures of them and I would play with them all the time. I fell out for a long time, and just now, last Saturday, I have gone FULL TMNT CRAZY. My fixations get really bad to the point sometimes it’s hard for me to normally function but when I tell you it was worth it re-binging most of the tv shows. It’s ridiculous of how horribly obsessed I’ve become ☠️ it’s been forever since I’ve been this fixated on something, and the last thing was STHH. Ridiculous HDNAK

Thank you so much for talking about this movie man we need as many people as possible to hear about this movie and see it so they can continue the show, mad props

Rise turtles movie Krangg armor is literally a robotic shredder suit that’s why it looks cool

I really hope that all the attention from the movie can help save the show

This movie wad alot better then I expected. Krang was an absolute menence easily one of my favorite versions. As someone who didn't watch the series this convinced me to check it out.

This was an incredible movie. I have yet to see the Rise series. And like so many others I was a little skeptical since they seemed to make the turtles so goofy, but given all of the praise fans have given it, I have to say that I am curious. I want to see the show In it’s entirety now. For me it’s not a “no” it’s more of a “not now.” For me the 2003 series will always be my favorite because it’s what I grew up with and I’ve rewatched this series the most. I also REALLY enjoyed the 2012 series. Granted I got into it after the show ended. (Story of my life) Sadly, the only series I have yet to see is the 1987, the only place I can see it is on iTunes. So someday for that. But, I have to say that this was easily the best TMNT movie overall. I would love to see Rise get a renewed series. Especially with Casey Jones, now all Trunks & Kyle Reese based. And go on cool adventures with the Turtle gang. (Though I’m still an April & Cassandra shipper)

Although I agree Turtles forever too needs to be a thing but can we ever get a sequel to TMNT I truly believe that that's the best the turtles have ever looked

This movie made me feel so many things and I love it the whole time. The animation was beautiful and I loved the krang and the plot
