Are you saying you're daring enough to challenge Cubed as the sole and final authority on tmnt?

I found there to be a lot of strong character moments in Out of the Shadows, and the action is fairly serviceable. There's still stuff in it I can't particularly stand either, which is why I'm currently re-editing it, (check out my thread on that if you can)

You know, I gave this some thought last night and I realized something kinda bittersweet. These comic book franchises only get a shot at the big time like once every 30-50 years or so. Superman and Batman are the only two properties I can think of that've been around far longer than that to go through such a thing more than once. Back in the the late 70s when the Richard Donner films came out, Superman was everywhere. Same as Batman was when the Tim Burton movies were released a decade later. Now DC is trying (abeit miserably) to recapture what those characters had back then, but I digress.

Even Spider-Man went through a similar phase in 2002 when Sam Raimi made the first ever live action movie about the wall crawler, which kinda mirrored what happened with the TMNT back in 1990 when their first ever live action film came out.

Someday they might be able to recapture that magic, but sadly, those of us who are still around to see it happen will be too old and some of us too senile to appreciate it.

This isn't true at all.

When was the last time people seriously loved the Ninja Turtles? Lately they've been kind of a joke, especially when you take into account the Michael Bay films. Sure the CGI cartoon has helped them regain some traction, but they've yet to reclaim that level of popularity they had when I was a kid, and it probably won't happen again until I'm a feeble old man wallowing in my own human waste somewhere in a nursing home.
