We won't be getting a R rated TMNT movie. Thats because the main audience comes from the cartoon. But The first Movie proved that they can still make a great movie.

If it's CGI, it sucks be default.....

**Karpo_007** · 02-21-2003, 03:07 PM

The CGI movie was scrapped. Right now, only movie in works is the TV miniseries on Hall Mark.

I heard about the TV miniseries from somewhere.

Most info comes from Laird's plast from the past page. It's still in Pre-production phase.

Why are most people impressed by a super brutal TMNT movie with an abundance of colorful language? I think it's just stupid how so many people base movies, shows, videogames and what not on the amount of violence and profanity it presents to the audience to determine it's "maturity" I think it's just stupid.

I don't get you... The first movie wasn't ultra violent, but it was great! Original TMNt is not goofy running around city yelling turtle power. First Movie did pretty good jub in bringing similar feeling tot comics to the masses. Second movie went goofy, and wasn't succesfull.

Heh I have to agree with this one, I'm always saying that. Seems that when people talk about good, "mature" shows the first thing that's listed is how much violence and swearing there is, as if that's the most important thing! Pointless violence does not make a movie/show automatically good.

The first movie was really good, serious and action packed without being gratuatous. I don't think we'd ever see an R rated Turtles movie, and to tell the truth, I don't think I'd enjoy it that much. There's no need to actually show someone getting disembowled when other methods will do. Take beheading in the Highlander TV series', they never show blood or the severed head, but you still get the idea.

I agree, Kali.

I just finished the script. I think it would make a great movie...some things are in there that are kinda pointless though, and a lot of it tries to bite off from the original and second movie, but that can be changed.

I like Nick Nitro's (Nargan) version alot more since it takes some stuff from the Archie universe and blends it with Mirage.

*Nickokapo* · 02-21-2003, 09:40 PM

Meh...this is just a disguised fanfic, and the turtles may be mature, but they don't have tourette's syndrome.
Cool logo tho.

You must look at this in different lights. Ninja turtles are not something that most people expect a story from.

Q: "But if they give the story a try, they'll like it."

A:"Not necessarily. We are talking about elementary schoolers here. They have the attention span of sperm. If, however, a TMNT movie is made for true fans, the fans will find plot holes and gripe about it. I've found a lot of cartoon fans quick to judge."

Q: "How did you become so great?"

A: "I drink Awesome Juice morning, noon, and night. I only eat General Tso's Chicken, and my job is to hunt down and brutally slaughter telemarketers."

So you see, it has to be brutal, because people don't respond to anything else. The most memorable moment from the Matrix was when a fight broke out, it just works that way. I agree story is needed to motivate movies, but people are idiots anymore, and just want constant violence.

Like Lord of the Rings. Those books and movies were un ****ing believable. But if you ask anyone you meet off the street, 80% of them will say they liked it cause "Stuff gots killed! Der her!" It's just how people are man. Now that we have computers to think for us, Morons have an excuse to be stupid.
