just ignore him, he pretty much made up his mind about the film the minute he voted in that poll without even seeing it

No kidding!

Corey Feldman is a washed up hag. Everyone who did the voice acting for this movie did great. I think they did the best job out of the movies - However, the 2K3 Cartoon holds my vote for best voice acting for any of the characters PERIOD.

I agree on all fronts.

Although it wouldn't be a bad thing to have Koteas again, it wouldn't be the same without him PHYSICALLY being Casey. And he's getting old now.

TMNTserbia · 03-23-2007, 12:02 PM

Cool!
The Best....Dejan Lutkać as Raphael and Casey....The Best

kerfootw · 03-23-2007, 12:43 PM

Corey's not washed up at all. He did great as Sprxx-77 in "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!" But yeah, Koteas is getting old. I remember his appearance on "House." Shame.

I was disappointed by the lack of balance in their depictions, but not surprised. I guess it's something that I've at least partially come to make peace with. That being said, I hope more balance is exercised in a potential sequel. My only other gripe was that Casey was a little too benign and not the tough guy that we're all used to. Other than that, the film was outstanding.

Karai · 03-23-2007, 12:50 PM

Splinter sounded bad, eh? Guess I'll have to see for myself - I've always liked Mako (his voice actor).

LeoNerdo · 03-23-2007, 12:54 PM

i didnt really like mako as splinter either...but he wasn't terrible. i'd rather have the splinter VA from the 2k3 toon but he wasnt that bad.

Someone sticky this to the top so people can see this when they come in this discussion area.

JetsAndHeels · 03-23-2007, 01:57 PM

I thought it was great. I thoroughly enjoyed the fight scenes, plot, and the animation was superb. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was Splinter's voice but that did not take away any of my enjoyment of this film.

kryka83 · 03-23-2007, 03:13 PM

Okay dudes and dudettes,
i just saw the first screening of the movie in my town, and thought it was awesome! My mom told me she heard a review this morning that this movie had bad theater timing because not many people would see it...she came to the movie with me and she disagreed with the reviewer. She said this (and i agree): If you are a fan of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, you're going to love the movie!
As for criticism, there were a few holes in the plot that another 30 minutes could have made it seem "fuller" - but the CGI of the movie really DOES "draw you into the story" like you are another character or turtle. Though, thinking more about it - it seemed that alot of the focus was on Raphael. NOT COMPLAINING ONE BIT ^_^!!! but did anybody else think this, that has seen the movie? Maybe it was just me, because i was so focused on his character and how he played hero "in both worlds" whether it was with his brothers or not...i also got the impression slightly that there was a bit of a Leo/April romance somewhere. Tell me if i am "off my sewer slider rocker", but that was just my impression. To those of you that haven't seen the movie, you may see it periodically through the movie when their characters interact and know where i got this idea/impression from.
Okay, i'm done! I don't want to "ruin" the movie anymore than i possibly have...i definately will see this movie again a few more times! Oh, and Raphie boy can lay on my apartment floor ANYTIME he wants ^_^ *sighs* Bye!

*Raph's Girl* · 03-23-2007, 03:30 PM

I came, I saw, me likey!!

I laughed, I chuckled, I groaned at Splinter's love for Gilmore Girls (is there a character named Cody in that show? ), I cheered at the Raph/Leo fight scene (which IMO was Leo's fault).

johnnyblaze · 03-23-2007, 03:32 PM

Leo triggered the fight yeah with his "I'm better than you" but I loved his

Spoiler:

By the end they both had new found respect for each other

Yeah, that Splinter scene was pretty great...and Mikey at the end when he finds Raph and Splinter!!!

One of my favorite lines was "is he LECTURING me?" right before Nightwatcher/Raph fights with Leo. I did agree it was Leo's fault, and now love that "smugness" scene when Raph yells at Leo even more!

Head Spinnin' Bebop · 03-23-2007, 04:13 PM

Awesome movie, far exceeded my expectations!

Sliced · 03-23-2007, 04:21 PM

I gave it a C.

Now do we really need to use spoiler tags here ? This is to talk about the movie anyway.... I think that people won't come here if they don't want spoilers..

So,

Good movie, but I wanted more. I won't see it again in the theaters, I'll ''wait'' to have it on dvd.

The animation was awsome, the overall plot was so-so, of course this is a kid movie so its not so bad. I saw the movie in french, and I was quite surprised to see all the original voice actors from the first movie, being back in this one. It was great. I dunno if the english voices are just as good, but I do hope so for you guys.

The fights were good, nice action, not enough weapons to my taste in most of them, kinda reminds me the Secret of the ooze, but still, it was entertaining.

Pretty good soundtrack, I enjoyed it. Fitted the movie just fine.

Something I really didn't liked was the fact that the Foot was useless to this movie. And karai was of no importance. Jeez, she was barely in the movie at all, this movie would have been just as good if the foot wasn't in it. I really would have liked to see them being something else than simple ''puppets'' of Winters.

The generals were ok. Classic bad guys turning against their boss.

The monsters were also ''ok''. The jersey devil was of course the best of them all. He's the only one that really made me laugh in this movie. Mikey had 1 or 2 moments too, but nothing great.

As for the main characters, they were for the most part how I thaught they would be. Casey looked like a teen really. He was no man in this movie, he was the clumbsy, not so funny and still to become a man kinda character. In fact, he was almost like the son of Casey Jones.

April was, well April... A bit like Casey, she looked like the daughter of April. Even if this is a kid movie, I would have appreciated these 2 to be more mature. They are supposed to be similar to the April and Casey we saw in the first movie... no ?

The turtles were the ones who seemed more mature. Raph fans are gonna love this movie. ALOT of raph action. He's the star here. Not a bad thing, but it did put Mikey and Don in the shadows a bit more.

Leo really changed here. I like the new Leo, took me some time to really get use to him, but in the end, he was great. A more open minded Leo is a good thing for the turtles.

Splinter was more like a father than a sensei now. I don't have alot to say on him that was already said or seen. He had some good screen time considering the kinda role he had.

So, Overall, I give this a 7/10. Not as good as I would liked it to be, but it was entertaining and the animation was very good. I know that I'm forgetting alot of things, but feel free to complete or state your opinion on my review.
