Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

My latest book, Reel Leadership, is now available on Amazon. If you love movies and leadership, you will love this book.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I went to see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem movie. My mind wandered to “Oh great, another reboot… and the animation looks sloppy.” 

Other than my love for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there wasn’t much desire to see this new film. Yet, I went because of Reel Leadership. I had to see the latest movie so I could share the leadership lessons found in the film.

I’m glad I did. This reboot was done well and shone as a great example of doing a reboot well.

21 Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Out Of The Shadows

Cowabunga dude! That’s how I felt when I heard Michael Bay was going to be back for another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

I’ve always been drawn to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I think the reason lies in the fact that each turtle is so different from the other.

Much like us. We’re all different but we can all work together.

With that said, let’s start this post off right. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out Of The Shadows was full of fun and laughter. We heard laughter from the audience (or should I say I laughed out loud plenty of times) during the movie. There was also clapping and sounds of enjoyment coming from those attending.

This time around, the movie studio Paramount Pictures got the Turtles right. The action, comedy, and dialogue was spot on for the Turtles.

Michael Bay is on a roll, releasing quite a few movies this summer. First movie I saw was the new Transformers movie. Now, Bay has released a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

Leadership lessons from Michael Bay's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014

With Bay, I always feel you’ve got to go in with an open mind. He does things a bit differently. Bay likes explosions, shooting, and women, it seems. While I haven’t truly been disappointed with a Bay movie lately, there had been some horrible ones (Can we all forget Transformers 2 ever happened?).

And then came the new live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…

I went in with serious reservations. Could Bay do the Ninja Turtles justice? Would the new Ninja Turtles movie be rubbish? Will the new Ninja Turtles be likable?

After all, I grew up on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were a childhood favorite.
