Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

As a kid from the late 80s/early 90s and watching the original Ninja Turtles cartoon with the Turtles, April in the yellow jumpsuit, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and everyone breaking the 4th wall, the first turtles film was pretty dark for a kids films.

From the opening scene (great scene) showing how crime is occurring rapidly throughout the city, opening score song showing crime infesting the city, and Shredder recruiting and somewhat brainwashing runaway teenagers and I guess young adults and referring to himself as their father, this movie is pretty dark.

​

Imagine you're a teenager, lost and confused and feeling somewhat abandoned from your family, and your salvation is a guy in a costume who convinces you that the world doesn't care for you as a person but he does.

​

Still a pretty good film that was made 33 years ago.
