Wait, there's a new TMNT movie?

[FakeLaser]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453556/

Why did I not know this? It is probably going to suck. Completely CGI.

Secret of the Ooze will always be king in my eyes.

[Blitz]

Yeah terrible that it is gonna be all CGI.

[FakeLaser]

I probably will see it anyway because it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[PapaGeorgio]

Odd, my friend and I were just talking about this and I come here to see topic just started. I'm somewhat excited for it, not getting my hopes up to high though. My friends and I did a co-op for one of the new videogames they had out on gamecube, pretty sure TMNT 3, could have been 2. Anyways it was based on the new tv series and the storyline was so terrible you just wonder what the fuck they were thinking about. But pretty sure movie won't be anything like it. TURTLE POWER. Would be badass if Hostess brings back the Turlte Pies, along with the Slimer ones too.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

ITS FUCKING TMNT

I fucking grew up on this shit. I had not idea that this movie was coming out untill I saw ghost rider with my girlfriend and the TMNT tralier come on. I almost jumped up and yelled with joy but i restrained myself. My gf of course had no idea why i was so pumped

[Destor]

Go ninja go ninja GO! Go ninja go ninja GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!

[ron the dial]

I will watch this and more than likely enjoy it. Gotsta love them turtles.

[Nervous Ferret]

They look kinda gay in the preview. I remember them being a bunch of badass, pizza eating, crime fighting machines and I HOPE this movie doesn't lessen my opinion of them. I hope :(

[Stickman]

So way back when they made the 3 movies with actual people playing characters (The third one was godawful) they were working on a fourth but it ran out of money and they just said fuck it. How do I know this? A friend of mine who's a former world karate champion was in it. Went to rehearsal like three times then they cancelled it.

[KingofOldSchool]

That movie looks god awful.

[Rammsteinmad]

In fact, he has the gayest dance moves ever too.

I remember reading in 2002 or something that there was gonna be a 4th Turtle movie. Nothing ever came of it and shortly after that live action series was released... If I recall the first episodes was a 4-parter or summit... I always kinda thought that they scrapped the idea of the movie and just broke it down into four episodes and started a series.

That series sucked anyway... no shredder... some gay aliens... no Casey or April... A mystical female Turtle... :nono:

[Rammsteinmad]

And as for my views on this movie... it's gonna suck. Come on how many times have the Turtles attempted to return, only to be shot down? I was MAD for the Turtles back in the day, but their time ended 15 years ago.

[94 SVT Cobra]

is shredder even in this movie?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I actually had a bet with my best friend after we had gotten back from TMNT III (the one in "Ancient Japan" or whatever), that there would one day be another TMNT movie made. She said no, I said yes, so I won, technically, but yeah, because it isTMNT, I will go see it, CGI or not.

[Rammsteinmad]

is shredder even in this movie?

Nope.

Seriously... how can you have Turtles and not Shredder? :nono:

[Theo Dious]

I want Krang, gah dammit.

[Jon Kano]

Long time fan of the original cartoon and first 2 movies, which as far as Im concerned are the only decent Turtles shows/films.

This one looks uber shizer.

[Hardkore Kidd J]

I'm probably gonna see this. I was a huge Ninja Turtles fun back in the day. I know it's gonna suck but in a little way I'm kinda interested. BTW the first 2 TMNT movies and the original cartoon ruled. TMNT 3/and probably this CGI one etc. is going to suck.

[Stickman]

The original cartoon was goodness. Remember when the Footsoldiers were robots and broke everytime they got hit. Goodtimes.

I used to have the action figures and even the sewer layer.

[Dave Youell]

I just watched it,

I fucking loved it, they mentioned all that happened in the past with Shredder and even left it open for a return, but the film overall was great.

It brought the turtles into a more modern era and is probably the darkest they've ever been on screen.

My only problem was that Donatello didn't get many lines as the main focus was on Raph and Leo (as always)

But honestly if you have any vague interest in the Turtles, watch this movie, it totally does it justice

[Mr Regal]

Ninja ninja rap

Go ninja go ninja go

That is ICE FUCKING cold!

[Jura]

The new TMNT video game is out.

[Indifferent Clox]

My girlfriend wants to see it. I probably will go. I loved the turtles. I have fear for this one but if Youell says it is good I'll watch it.

[mitchables]

Seen the trailer. REALLY looking forward to it. Not like Transformers. Ugh. TMNT is gonna rule. :love:

[Dave Youell]

i have yet to hear a bad review, seriously people, watch this fucking movie, it's the best re-launching of a brand i've seen (well behind Batman Begins, but waaaaay better than Superman

[mitchables]

Superman Returns wasn't a relaunch, so it doesn't count.

[Shaggy]

I plan on checking it out tomorrow morning when I get outa class...

my damn schedule screwed up my all day marathon...not I have to try to hold out a few hours to go to a showing of TMNT

[Champion of Europa]

I enjoyed it.

[Volchok]

I wanna see this!

[Shaggy]

Just saw it like 30 mins ago...

really great movie....graphics are amazing....and I think im in love with April O'neil all over again...might be because I hear the voice of Buffy coming out of her..

[FakeLaser]

I think tomorrow I am going to smoke a blunt and go see this.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I liked it a ot actually. I was surprised how well it was done.



***SPOILERS BELOW****

















Seriously, the fight between Raph and Leo was done really fucking well.












***End Spoilers***

[AdrianM]

what's it mena by raphael being raphael/nightwatcher?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Watch the movie, you'll see.

[Shaggy]

Its funny we got a toy in at work of the Nightwatcher with it saying on the box that no one knows who the mystery rider readlly is...then you can see through the visor of the figure and see the color of the bandana

[Boondock Saint]

Good stuff. Funny too.

[diothoir]

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. The Raph/Leo fight was excellent. The rain during it = :heart:.

Pretty key stuff.

[Kane Knight]

Pretty key stuff.

Raph's sai getting used for their intended purpose was a nice touch.

Awesome popcorn flick. The only ocmplaint I really have is that Splinter's voice sucks. He sounds like he's drunk and not acting.

[diothoir]

My mates complained about Splinter too. Didn't really bother me as much as April. Her voice was a little distracting at times.

I did mark out for the swords breaking though.

I like Raph. :$

[ClockShot]

Sounds pretty good. Might go check this out tomorrow. This or Shooter, if I can bust this cold I got.

For those of you who are wondering, here's the voice cast.


Patrick Stewart: Voice of Maximillian J Winters

Sarah Michelle Gellar: Voice of April O'Neil

Ziyi Zhang: Voice of Karai

Chris Evans: Voice of Casey Jones

Mako: Voice of Splinter

Kevin Smith: Voice of Diner Cook

Mitchell Whitfield: Voice of Donatello

James Arnold Taylor: Voice of Leonardo

Mikey Kelley: Voice of Michelangelo

Nolan North: Voice of Raphael/Nightwatcher

John DiMaggio: Voice of Colonel Santino

Paula Mattioli: Voice of General Serpiente

Kevin Michael Richardson: Voice of General Aguila

Fred Tatasciore (II): Voice of General Gato

Laurence Fishburne: Narrated by

[Kane Knight]

You just reminded me: I was amused that Patrick Stewart was doing the voice of the main character in a movie that so readily mimicked Gargoyles, since his character is so much like Xanatos.

Also, MAKO did Splinter's voice? How the fuck did he do such a sucky job then?

[Kane Knight]

My mates complained about Splinter too. Didn't really bother me as much as April. Her voice was a little distracting at times.

I did mark out for the swords breaking though.

I like Raph. :$

I've always loved Raph. So the fact that this movie was mostly about the conflict between Raph and Leo, more power to them.

April was fine, except her animation was a bit too...Weird for me. She looked like incredigirl or whatever her name was. In fact, Casey and April were the worst animated in the movie, in my opinion.

Still, not a big complaint.

[ClockShot]

Also, MAKO did Splinter's voice? How the fuck did he do such a sucky job then?

I was gonna scream and go crazy since all of you are complaining. You should catch Avatar: The Last Airbender on nick or dig around for Samurai Jack. He does pretty damn well on those shows.

However, He died on July 21st. 2006. I think his age finally caught up with him. :'(

Edit: Upon further review on wikipedia.com, I managed to find this.

Mako died on July 21, 2006, aged 72, after a long period of suffering from esophageal cancer. Prior to his death, Mako had been recently confirmed to star in the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, providing the voice of Splinter.[1] His involvement in the project was announced on July 20; one day before his death. It is known that he had done most of the voice work, but not the ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement).[2] In a recent interview with the director Kevin Munroe, it was confirmed that Mako had completed his recording before his death, and his voice will be used in the movie.[3][4]

[diothoir]

I thought Patrick Stewarts character looked like Mr Incredible.

I'm with you on the April/Casey thing though. Splinter looked like a cuddly little fellow too. :love: Not really a complaint.

I hope they get a sequel so I can see and hear the explaination for EVILLER ZOMBIE SHREDDER though.

[Kane Knight]

Fortunately, in a world where people can become immortal, travel through time, and turn to living stone...

[Kane Knight]

I was gonna scream and go crazy since all of you are complaining. You should catch Avatar: The Last Airbender on nick or dig around for Samurai Jack. He does pretty damn well on those shows.

Not gonna catch a couple of shitty shows (Well, Avatar may be good) to confirm the voice talents of someone I respected since the 80s.

He's a good actor, it doesn't make his acting here any less shit.

Of course, the esophagial cancer explains part of it.

[Triple A]

Saw it, liked it. And yeah lol, every time Splinter said anything it just made me laugh. Sounded ridiculous.

RAPHAEL IS THE MAN. Leonardo always used to be my favorite when I was a kid, but Raph is easily my favorite. :(

[Loose Cannon]

Raph became a childhood hero after taking on 186 Foot Soldiers by himself in TMNT 1.

[Shaggy]

Well....the movie was good enough to take #1 this week....

The Turtles have defeated the 300 soldiers of Sparta.....

Bad thing is that the Turtles will probably be knocked already out of the park on Friday when Blades of Glory comes out...

[Kane Knight]

The Spartans outnumber us 75 to 1...Fair odds for a Turtle.

"Hooorah or whatever."

Anyway, Since 300 sucked, I'm glad to see it toppled. Since Blades of Glory looks gay, I hope it doesn't take 'em down.

[Fignuts]

Why exactly did it suck?

[Kane Knight]

Since I sure as fuck didn't explain myself on that in the 300 thread, I might as well explain it here in detail.

[Fignuts]

k, so go ahead then.

[Kane Knight]

I just did. Perhaps you missed it as you mentally filtered out the long-winded nature of my complaints. Or perhaps you could just check the 300 thread to see my thoughts. You're a bright chap. You'll catch on eventually.

[Stickman]

Has anyone actually held a sai? Those things are fucking heavy.

[Destor]

Not gonna catch a couple of shitty shows (Well, Avatar may be good) to confirm the voice talents of someone I respected since the 80s.

Of course, the esophagial cancer explains part of it.I think you just assumed Samuri Jack is bad. Foolish mistake.

Did everyone who saw this notice that small hint at the end that this is not the start of a new series...but the 4th movie in the Turtles franchise....

[Kane Knight]

Are you refering to what was on the altar? Being vague....

I didn't even know there was a TMNT series that was going on right now, and so I figured several things were ties to the movies, but apparently were not. For example, references to the Shredder being dead...

However, my friend who has actually seen the series and the movies is convinced they're trying to blend the two. I don't know. I haven't seen this new series.

[Kane Knight]

I think you just assumed Samuri Jack is bad. Foolish mistake.

I think I actually watched it, and you made another retarded assumption that, because I don't like something you like, I must not have watched it.

[Kane Knight]

Has anyone actually held a sai? Those things are fucking heavy.

Depends on the sai, but yeah, they can be.

On the other hand, most sai are made about as well as "medieval armor," which is generally needlessly heavy and unrealistic as such.

You want something with substance, but a lot of them are like poorly balanced bricks.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Did everyone who saw this notice that small hint at the end that this is not the start of a new series...but the 4th movie in the Turtles franchise....

I kinda figured, even way back in 1993, when I was only 12 ½ at the time, that any Turtles movie made after III would be a continuation of the first 3 and not taken in a new direction. Of course, I had always had a bet with my best friend, ever since we got out of the theater that there would be a new Turtles movie, and my friend said they'd never make one...still have yet to rub it in though, and I like the fact that they made an opening for a 5th movie in the future...as I remember, in Secret of The Ooze, after becoming Super-Shredder, I don't remember what all happens but he's crushed by something and his hand emerges briefly, only to disappear again, implying that Super-Shredder is probably dead for good, as he never shows up in TMNT III. I think the opening for his return in a possible 5th movie was made when the female leader of the Foot Clan agreed to help the Turtles, Casey and April, but then warned them that "in the near future, you will face a very familiar opponent...", but I guess we'll all just have to wait and see...

[Kane Knight]

Them teaming up and them warning about a familiar opponent were at rather different times. One was before the final fight, when they sided with David Xanatos, and the other was after everything else was done with.

You will note, however, that this movie does almost nothing to keep continuity with the earlier movies, but apparently does plenty to keep continuity with the cartoon? Otherwise, for example, why is Tatsu not in charge of the Foot?

[DAMN iNATOR]

I dunno how to answer that but I do know that even with Shredder supposedly dead, it just isn't quite the same watching anything Turtles without him and his cronies (i.e., Krang, Rocksteady & Bebop)...:-\

[Kane Knight]

Not having Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady is the best thing that could happen to them.

...Then again, I was more a fan of the original comics than the ones based on the cartoon.

[FakeLaser]

I still haven't seen this. I never go to the movies, even if I want to see something.

[Kane Knight]

Why, if I might ask?

[FakeLaser]

Going to the movies is usually my last resort for a night out. I enjoy going, but there's usually other things I'd rather be doing going on. I'd rather just get the DVD and watch it whenever I feel like it.
