Makes someone wonder if there are more Utrom in the future who maybe are even higher ranked as Krang. It's a possibility as they once mentioned that they would also like to portrait Dimension X in later movies which could be a possibility for showing more Aliens like the Utroms.

I must have been hearing something different. I was hearing "Come on, Krang"

I expect he just come out of the cinema when he posted that and now he's on his way home keeping us in suspense.

Err don't crash or get arrested for writing posts on your phone while driving will you.

[DioLeo451]

please be decent

[Foombamaroom]

Oh, this should be exciting.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

I'm almost more excited to see everyones reactions, and everyones reactions to those reactions, than the actual movie.

I know a lot of cynical people on here are going to assume that I'm just some lame lover of all things turtles and can't admit when something is bad. Keep in mind though, that I trashed the last film on numerous occasions, had the same gripes and complaints as a lot of people on here, and I also thought the turtles turning human concept was ridiculous, and figured that this new film was just a movie done by committee and might be fun but wasn't going to be anything special.

That being said, I'm still sitting here dumbfounded over how impressed I was with this movie. I'm still processing it so I'll do a full review tonight. Right now just a few things...

This is NOT an April and Casey movie featuring the turtles. In fact, they have very few scenes where there isn't a turtle or a villain present. The turtles are the stars. When they aren't on the screen, it's usually the villains who spend a lot of time together so it never felt like an overstock of characters.

Pete Ploznek is Leonardo. There's no Johnny Knoxville. Also Leo carrys a bulk of the serious scenes in the movie. Pete is excellent

The turtles are more developed, and since you spend so much more time with them, they actually get to shine in their signature traits rather than last time where things like raph being angry or Donnie being smart felt shoehorned in.

There's no Eric Sacks and not even a mention of his character.

There are some stupid jokes here and there like raph hitting the plane, turtle winking, etc. but they are pretty few and far between and they made all the little kids laugh. For the most part, the movie carrys itself as a pretty serious action/ sci fi film.

The turtles aren't running around in the open like some of the trailers made it seem.

Krang is awesome. Much more serious than the 80s show but still the same character. Tyler perry is also not as cartoony as he was in the trailer. Shredder is a badass.

The movie isn't as predictable as you might think even with all of the trailers and tv spots. There's lots of surprises. Most of the callbacks to previous turtles projects feel more natural this time. The movie is shot better. There are a few shots that actually reminded me of panels from the early comics. the music is fantastic! Not only is the score better but there's also a full soundtrack of great songs.

Basically, it felt like a ninja turtles movie. I loved the ending too
