Geekatana Movie Review: Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Being a kid growing up in the 80's I fancy myself as a TMNT fan watching it on television every saturday morning regularly back in 1984 onwards. Then the first ever Batman film came out two years later. Even back then it never in my wildest dreams I'm going to see batman and the pizza loving turtles crossing path specially in a full length movie feature. Then we fast forward to 2019 and we got Batman versus Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I could never be happier.

The movie is loosely based on the comic book with the same title that came out back in December 2015. I haven't read the comics yet but did some research on it before writing this review so don't expect me to make too much comparisons on the comics. Also probably some minor spoilers in this one.

Teen Titans Go to the Movies Movie Review

To start things up I'd like to point out that I'm a fan of the original Teen Titans TV Series but not so much Teen Titans Go. I feel that the original Teen Titans have the right mix of action, comedy and storytelling elements I'd want in a cartoon. Teen Titans Go although a decent cartoon onto itself leans way too much on the comedic side for my taste thus losing much of the twist and deep storytelling portion that made the first series standout.

And it doesn't help either that the trailer just feels like a typical Teen Titans Go episode stretched to an hour and a half. So you can easily tell when me and my sister suddenly decided to watch Teen Titans Go to the Movies on opening day my expectations isn't all that high.

My Top 10 Movies of 2017

Watching movies is pastime of mine when Ive got the time or budget to do so. It goes up there with surfing the internet, playing video games, watching anime and the likes. But I dont watch every movie out there unless its geek or otaku related or anywhere in between. But with that being said I did managed to watch over twelve movies this year. A lot of which are good, some not so much, then theres a few that makes me question why I went to watch it and what Im doing with my life.

Since my Blog is rather new I only managed to review or score those that Ive watched after my Blog was set up so there are a lot of movies that have yet to be reviewed on this Blog but that doesnt necessary mean I cannot make my Top 10 best movies from 2017 can I. Mind you this is my Top 10 movies. Movies that I really like. Im sure some of your favorite movies might not be on this list. But thats ok. We have our own favorites. With that thing cleared lets get to the Top 10 list.
