Did this movie touch you?

I mean... I get what they were going for with that moment, but it fell totally flat, because nothing in the movie up to that point earned it at all. You had one moment of Raph saying he was leaving, 75-ish minutes of... not really doing much to sell the relationships or the bond, and then a sudden heartfelt speech immediately following a video-gamey clowny nonsense action scene. That is a wet fart.

Watching that, I felt like the only way to get any emotion from that moment is if you brought that emotion for the characters from previous versions of the franchise, not the movie itself. The writing was pretty incompetent.
