Superhero hype's TMNT set visit - Page 2

The movie time along with them saying that it's a fast paced movie now makes me worry that it's too fast paced, hurried maybe even. I don't mind a movie that moves fast, but within reason.

The comments Kevin Munroe made about the Nunchuks make no sense at all!
That ban in the UK has been lifted a good while now, and the first movies release on DVD two years ago made it clear in it's advertising that the dualing Nunchuku scene with Mikey and the Foot had been restored.
The same goes for Bruce Lee's movies, all DVD's have had the Nunchuku scenes restored, so I don't understand what Kevin's talking about.
I emailed the BBC before the new cartoon came out in 2003 and they said that sences featuring the Nunchuku wouldn't be a problem, and thus all Mikey's scenes in the cartoon with his weapons in hand, and in battle scenes have been present and uncensored.
So these comments have me really confused and worried, because back in 1990 the original movie was completely butchered in the UK, with almost every scene featuring Mikey cut.

Exactly a movie that's fast paced should be 2 hours. Casino Royale felt like 2 hours but it was really an two and a half. And V For Vendetta felt like 2 hours but was really 90 minutes. Slow paced movies should be shorter, as fast longer, but obviously that doesn't go into effect with this movie.

And the chuck comment didn't make sense to me, either did the ninja star one. They have stars and chucks in a TV program but not in the movie? Stupid.

Maybe you should bring that up to Kevin in the Front Lines thread, see what he has to say.

Didn't the Superhero hype article say Fishburne was doing some naration?

*Warhorse* · 01-25-2007, 06:16 PM

You think this 81 minute running time is going to be a set back? Seems kind of short to me. I also don't understand the comments made on how they had to cut around the use of the weapons. I mean, the new cartoon has not problem showcasing them on a regular basis on a Saturday morning, why would the movie be any different?

Also, they claim they wanted a PG-13 movie, but the contract called for a PG. If this movie does well, you think they'll have more negotiating room, to well, negotiate for a PG-13 film?

To me it sounded like that was what they were aiming/hoping for. Or maybe that's just what I hope, and I'm twisting their words to read what I want to read, lol.

Munroe: When you meet with Pete (Laird) he's got his sort of 10 Commandments of what the Turtles can and can't do.

Gawd, I'm so curious what these commandments are.

yeah that confused me too! the name "ninja", the nunchaku scenes et all are now permissable in the UK.

The ninja stars, possibly...but as far as I can tell, the UK censorship laws were laxed a few years ago.

81 minutes minus credits is just too short. I wouldnt be willing to pay the price of a cinema ticket for a movie that short. The plot sounds like something from the cartoon too, and a story full of gobbledegook is going to turn the casual punters off I think.

I don't know, I'm still very much in two minds about this movie.

It does indeed seem too short, but in no way can that be a judge of quality.
I've seen some great movies that were only 1 hour 30 min, and some awful ones that were 2 hours 30 min, and I know which ones I'd rather shell out 10 Euro's on.

Too late

The 81 minute run time kinda scares me too. I was kinda hoping for something a little more lengthier. I brought it up to kevin in his thread, hopefully we'll get to see a longer version when it hits dvd.

Well, Thomas just says the movie takes off and goes. And on the bright side, with 81 minutes, parts wont drag on and on, they wont have time.

And that 81 minutes may change, who knows. Hopefully thay can get it up to 90.

Commandment #3
Tho shall not team TMNT with the Power Rangers....again

*Spitfire* · 01-28-2007, 04:16 AM

Honestly 80 minutes is so short if there is bonus footage it would just be included in the film as it is. There is no need for any further editing.

*Cascadia* · 01-28-2007, 11:17 PM

in the article, they indicated that the DVD will have behind-the-scene footage along with scenes that were cut out.
