Maybe "confused" was the wrong word. They still won't get all the references 100%. That's fine though. That won't ruin their enjoyment of the movie.

I am not sure if all of them paid for it --- or had started paying for it yet. I know of several whose parents paid their way, others military. The most annoying one had tuition paid for by the military (though, you have to keep your grades up and I never saw her again after that class). She was obnoxiously over-confident and oddly enough lacked a serious amount of tact and discipline.

I think everyone expects the turtles will be CG now. Having costumes is limiting. They can make them move more ninja like with CG. I just hope next time they make a live action movie they won't change the turtles in such a terrible way. Dressing them differently was fine with me, but I didn't like what they did to their faces.
Edit: Don't do it Mikey! |

Nah it wouldn't connect. While it is my favorite movie, and the best one I think... it is dated obviously.
That's the charm now. It literally has so many early 90s and late 80s stuff in there like the walkman, the Sid Vicious shirt, the music in general. It has a dark tone and basically is the first comic into a movie kinda. I think it would do alright, but these cry children of today wouldn't get it. |

On the subject of things being dated. I have been going through the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series lately and while the localization is glaringly obvious to me as an adult, as a kid, I never once noticed what was even then considered to be outdated effects or the even cheesier effects produced by Saban.
It was the it-show for a while, so a lot of kids didn't care about the cheesiness or "bad effects." Quote:
Superman: The Movie Superman II Superman III Superman IV Supergirl Batman: The Movie Batman '89 Swamp Thing Return of Swamp Thing Tales From the Crypt (the 70s movie which pre-dated the show) Vault of Horror All of those came before TMNT '90. Dick Tracy came out the same year. Last edited by sgtfbomb; 02-08-2017 at 07:33 PM. |

Yeah. I mean why does everything I say get twisted around?
I mean doesn't the 1st movie have influence of the 1st comic? I always thought so. Maybe I'm crazy? |

I don't think that the movie would work for the kids today. All the stuff in the movie is kinda to old for the actual generation. Some of them don't even know what a walkman is.
But for me it's the best TMNT movie |

The first movie is pretty much night and day different from the first comic. Quote:

That's no big problem. Let the children learn what it was.

Has anyone thought to ask the children?
He hasn't seen the first one, but my nephew loved the Secret of the Ooze. |

I was actually thinking about that last night when I checked the thread. We have thirty-somethings, twenty-somethings, and probably some teenagers, but none of us are actually kids.
I can tell you how I was as a kid. I can even tell you what the kids at school were like, and I never once heard anything about films being dated. The boys at schooled loved Jaws and Alien, didn't complain about seeing the gears or anything. I know some were watching Godzilla films, including the B&W original. I was enjoying both the 60s Batman and the Keaton Batman. Now, when we hit the teenage years, that's when I noticed the big change. For everyone in my class, it was about new music, new movies, new television, nothing else. I wasn't like that. I remember saying "I like classic rock" and one of my classmates said "Ugh, why? It's so old." When I was in high school, I overheard someone talking about Papa Roach's "Last Resort," which was maybe two years old at the time, maybe even just one, and another girl "Ugh, that song is so old." And, of course, I had hit my "it has to be edgy" phase. That phase is a downward spiral into an all encompassing black hole of superficiality and unfortunately many end up forever stuck there. I feel like it's when kids hit the teenage years that they become so picky about that stuff and I've only ever heard the words "eh, it's so dated" from teens and older.
