Best Ninja Turtles Movie Ever?
I think it's going to be!
shareI still go for 1990, but it's certainly the best since Secret of the Ooze, which is saying a lot.

I did enjoy it, but i was really disappointed that they made the original cartoon turtles look like idiots. I may be taking this to seriously, but it was a little disrespectful. But i really like the nod to the comic book turtles, very well done on that front. The comic book turtles narrator reminded me of WATCHMEN or SIN CITY.

Old Turtles Suck
That's what I saw. That seemed to be the whole point to this. It looked as if the new Turtles could have done all of that by themselves.
Yeah I didn't see much respect given to the old Turtles. I know some of the stuff looks corny and dated now, but it wasn't ALL like that, especially at the beginning of the series.
Clearly the writers of the movie loves their new turtles, and loved the comic book characters. They basically see the 80's Turtles as a farce.
To be fair... yeah the old Turtles show had it's own share flaws and problems (the new Turtles has it's own as well) but not on that type of level. To show them like that... that seemed to be pretty mien... in a cartoon type of way.
shareOh by no means am I saying that the 80's series was perfect. And in many ways, the new show is superior, while still staying true to the original characters.
But yeah, they definitely treated the entire 80's series like a giant parody or face, and like I said, it wasn't THAT bad.
It wasn't that bad but bad enough. I tried to watch it again and its pretty hard. They ribbed pretty hard but I think they did a good job with them and were able to laugh at themselves. The 2003 turtles got it a bit too from turtle prime.
shareThey got bashed and they were being laughed at. If it was the other way around and the 2003 show got bashed... man the outcry there would be.
shareMeh. . .I was a huge fan of the original cartoon, but I can admit: It was pretty damned silly. The silliness in T:F was pretty over the top, but I saw it as a funny homage. And really, Krang and Shredder WERE bumbling retards with retarded weapons and schemes, so at least THAT was spot-on.
