I honestly think the first movie is about as serious as any TMNT movie has a right to try and be. I thought the tone was right-on. Some think it's an awkward mix of OT and Mirage, but that's what I liked about it. It's not a perfect film but it had weight while not taking itself overly seriously. I love the Nolan Batman films too but I can't see anyone other than SERIOUS die-hard TMNT fans being willing to watch a TMNT movie that is SO self-serious as that.

yes, some of these animated features are really well done I must say...and turtles forever never seems to bore me at all, so yeah that would be great to see some day..BUT for they should go for original stories set in that environment rather than bringing to te screen what the comic book gave us...my point of view here...it rarely translates to something that excites me rather than is merely pretty duplicating something that excited me...

He’s got 31,000 followers now. He’s just left a message saying that he has to post a review now. Don't know where all those followers came from. He was below 4000 a couple of weeks ago.

In my opinion, it would be great to see a re-boot in the same tone as the 90 movie. Obviously, some things could be improved upon, but the overall feel of that movie is my favorite incarnation of the boys, ever. It's real / yet not, has decent action and comedy - all while not being a parody of itself. While I get that some fans prefer the TMNT to be a parody, I've always taken them as seriously as most other comic characters. In a nutshell, I believe they deserve to be treated with seriousness/respect. That does NOT mean they need to be overly serious and devoid of silliness/comedic elements. There is a way to capture all of that in a script and resulting film - it just needs someone with that kind of vision to make it a reality. As far sci-fi elements such as Dimension X, Krang, etc - I say bring them on. You can have a movie take itself fairly serious while also including those elements (it doesn't necessarily need to happen in Movie #1, btw). I definitely think that a really well done script, director, actors could pull off a movie that captures all these things without it being a shallow, comedy/action summer popcorn flick without much substance.

That would be awesome! So i wonder if their making a OT turtle tracks remake. Maybe even the neutrinos may even feature. Always wanted to see how Krang would look in cgi.

Everyplace I see an article or something about a new TMNT movie, there's always more than a few comments about how the "worst" thing about the original films was "no Krang, Bebop, or Rocksteady". So I agree, might as well give it a shot, people have wanted to see it from Day One and they all have stories that could work well *if handled competently*. I emphasize that last part because that'swhere Hollywood usually drops the ball. But we can hope.
To wit, I thought Scarecrow was an awful villain to relaunch the Batman franchise, before I saw "Batman Begins". Shows what I knew. Stuff can work if people try.

Bebop & Rocksteady however are too superfluous, giving them an origin would take too much time considering there'd just be two lackeys for the turtles to easily dispense with. They have no story beyond their origin and trying to base a movie around characters like that already failed. Secret Of The Ooze would only have been marginaly better with them instead of Tokka & Rahzar and only in the sense that it'd be cool to see cartoon favourites come to life - the story would still be the same and it still would have been a huge step down from the first movie. I still feel a lot of the appeal of the turtles lies in their quasi realistic setting, even in Fred Wolf how often did the Technodrome go on a rampage? It was never out there long before it was always depowered and sent to some obscure place out of sight and we were back to normal. I'm a big fan of the sci fi and fantasy aspects but I think they should be saved for sequels. A reboot should be back to basics TMNT vs Shredder & Foot Clan. Maybe get clever and forshadow TCRI or the Technodrome or whatever. Quote:

I'm not against ever seeing Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady in a movie. It is more that I want there to be a reason for them to be there other then people think it would be cool. Using Batman as an example is getting old I know, but I mean look at Begins.
They took Scarecrow and made him a character that became more popular because of the re-imagining. People looked forward to seeing him again. If they are going to include these characters really think about why and if they serve the story. Just don't throw them in there because "people demand" it. |

To be fair, though, with that rumoured synopsis floating around, it seems that there is a reason for them being there. At least for Krang. Maybe this is the reason why they're going down the alien route?

It’s because this thread has come far too late. I broke the news in this thread http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=37916 five weeks ago.
In short, everybody knows. |

Had it actually been news my reaction might be "aghast," but I think it's been pretty clear for a while now that with no more Peter to tell people "no" that things would be going full-bore Fred Wolf.

I'm definitely in favor of the Technodrome, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady being in it. It's a great move in terms of pleasing the general audience, and it's the thing a lot of people keep wanting and not getting from TMNT movies, and those are iconic images with great potential regardless of their goofy origins. I just hope the tone is more in line with the Mirage comics than with the Fred Wolf series, and I hope the storytelling and character drama is solid, and that the turtle balance is more even than the Imagi movie (which I liked for the most part, but found to be far too focused on Leo and Raph).
I like the Fred Wolf series okay, but I prefer more story- and character-heavy incarnations, so I'd love to see a blend of Fred Wolf concepts and Mirage-style storytelling. ETA: I do hope April is not a reporter. That always struck me as a Lois Lane thing.

Here's what I don't understand...Kevin Eastman is talking about having fight scenes like The Raid: Redemption and Fist of Legend...
How...I repeat HOW...can you do that in a script that has Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang? That'd be like if the 80's turtles cartoon had the violence from the movie Heavy Metal...it's not a mix that makes sense... |
