Spaceman Spiff Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I know there's a TMNT thread but I can't find it when I search... Anyway, this movie was horrible. No Shredder, no Bebop, no Rocksteady, no Baxter Stockman, no Krang...April O'Neil wasn't even a reporter. The storyline was weak, the jokes were lame. The CGI was good, the fighting scenes were pretty cool. I'm glad I only saw it last night for 5 bucks. Had I spent the full 10 or so on it, I'd be really pissed.

jrockster21 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yeah...I heard it was supposed to be all dark and stuff, but then I saw a preview with them at a little kids birthday party. Looked really lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 The original TMNT from 1990 is actually very very good. Dark, good storyline, pretty violent, not too cliche for a family movie, and there's no computer animation. Nothing surpasses the cartoon, that movie, or the video games on super nintendo.

ChampSkinsFanatic Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The original TMNT from 1990 is actually very very good. I think your exaggerating "very very good" huh? Thats the perfect example of how something you love can turn into some **** when it hits the big screen. Raphael used to be my favorite the jokester, then I see the move hes a violent rebel with a potty mouth "damn". Kinda like the Super Mario Bros. movie, that was just weird.

TheDoyler23 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 That plot left A LOT to be desired. I won't spoil it, but yikes. It was pretty entertaining from a visual aspect though...a couple laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I think it depends on what you went looking for. If you were looking for it to rehash old memories, then yes, it will disappoint. But I think that the things you're complaining about are moreso wishing it would have brought back memories from the old school movies. I mean the whole thing about April not being a reporter threw me off. But overall, I felt that the movie had very good animation and fight scenes. Also, the story line wasn't really that bad. The jokes were a little cheesy, some were funny ... but let's be serious here, the joke in the original TMNT movies weren't the top of the line comedy. Edit: I agree with Doyler, the story did leave something to be desired, but I think that they also left it a bit more open so that they could do another movie in the future. Still, I don't feel like it was a horrible story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, honestly, I wasn't that upset. And also, like I said, they seemed to have left the story open, and very subtly mentioned that the turtles could encounter Shredder. But I didn't have a problem with Shredder not being there. I was actually sort of glad they decided to do something different. Most movies would fall back on what was popular hoping to get some cheap audience members. It's more risky for them to divert from the Bebop, Rock Steady, Shredder triumvirate, that was so popular in the late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reic Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Didn't they rid of the Shred back when the movies were in boom? With acid or something? I remember something green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have been alright without Bebop and Rocksteady....I was just looking forward to seeing Shredder on some cool ass CGI action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember something green. that was the ooze. the same ooze that mutated the turtles, shredder took to become super shredder, but he was angry and tore down a bunch of support pillars and killed himself.
