More details on IMDB and Wikipedia 

Out of the Shadows (2016) was released two years past the first movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014). The sequel is both different and better compared to the first film as this time the production got things "the right way" under a different director and additional cast members.

The Turtles who saved New York during the first movie, chose not reveal themselves to humans. Being different, makes them fear that they cannot be accepted by the world. Yet fate has it that they are needed to save everyone once more.

Film making is an art that evolves by learning from own mistakes. Leave aside the new director and expanded casting, the first movie mostly failed expectations because it kept trying to make sense of things that cannot make sense. The sequel did not overthink things and just used the characters as every comedy should, that is by shooting funny moments.
