I thought the same thing after first reading Mirage Volume 1 #8.

hey I forgot, did the TMNT use their weapons again in TMNT III? I seem to recall all 4 of em using Samurai swords, and at least Don still using his bo, but did Raph and Mike ever use their weapons?

O.K. Kenton, just pick up the comic book adaptation; they still look like frogs, but you'll get Chris Allan drawing Casey Jones

At the time, Savanti Romero woulda been considered as lame as Walker since he wasn't on the show and noone knew him.

First off, I loved the second movie. I thought it was cool that you could now have two different live action movies: a more serious, darker tone (first film) and a little more goofy one (second)to watch. Plus, the second film reminded me of the orignal cartoon (more lighthearted, new mutants like on the show, etc.) Still love the 1st the best.

The third one is ok. Just ok. Don't hate but don't love it. I think it would have been much cooler if it took the story more serious. Turtles helping villagers from a major army = mucho drama. At least it could have. Maybe because I just saw Bruce Willis's Tears of the Sun (which i loved, especially the music). I think if the third movie was more serious or emotional like that (like seeing the guys change from goofy teens in the beginning to more mature adults in the end), then it'd be so much more respected. But they didn't and that is that.

TMNT 3 IS DEFINETELY A BAD MOVIE AT LEAST. It did have it's moments though, but not worthwhile. On the other hand, if you wanna see a whole lotta leg, (Paige Turco's April) then buy it.

It's kinda wierd that in the movies the turtles got sillier as they got older. Well at least Paige Turco was pretty hot.

If only that was the only reason needed to really like it.

Yeah, it's atleast worth renting, I got it on DVD just because Im a diehard fan, but it's not that bad, just for the full blown entertainment value of it, and it's the TMNT

I will have it soon, I want to buy the box set of the three movies. Hopefully I like it, even though the turtles look strange as heck in the pictures I have seen

He looks so stupid! Why did they have to do that to him! Why Splinter is in the new movie right? I wonder what he will look like, after seeing those weird headed turtles I can only imagine a Ratty Splinter

Im pretty sure they didn't even finish that movie 3 puppet because you only see that much of him throughout the movie, as for the new movie I don't know yet, but only time will tell.

Third movie puppet is very crappy, all I can say about it. I hope he looks good in the new movie and not lame. Hope to see a trailer of it soon too
