Oh no, I've never seen one for TMNT. I'd like to, though.

This video is pretty great. The only thing that bugged me is him saying Danny wouldn't know where the lair was. It's not light he was part of the organization that wrecked the place or anything... And I agree with the complaint about the leverage. Otherwise great vid. Bane Shredder was awesome

Pretty sure the porn star joke is referencing porn star April O'Neil.

They did presume Splinter dead in the movie. When Leo came back to tell everyone he's alive, they're like 'sure Leo, we all *think* he's alive'.

I will give you the chief Sterns one.

Makes me wonder how anyone can truly enjoy a movie when they over analise and pick it apart like that. I watched this movie the other day and I theroly enjoyed it... still. It may not have been the ultimate dark and gritty film we all wanted but in my opinion it got more right than it got wrong.

Man, I find this video hilarious. I remember going to see this movie with my brother in 2007 and being extremely disappointed in it. Weak plot and even weaker characters left a lot to be desired for me.

The movie wasn't bad, it just felt like an episode of the cartoon.

This movie would make a good 3-parter of the Nick cartoon.

Nah, I gotta disagree. I thought everything about the film was poorly written. I don't know how something that would've been better served as a direct to DVD mess ended up in theaters.

That's just how I feel about it at least. This video covers most of the problems i had with it.

Neither can I. Not to mention how annoying and f*cking aggressively nerdy that guy's voice is. Jesus Christ.

the pace felt "off" to me for this film. the best scenes were the fight between leo/raph and the intro with Leonardo being a badass

Except no....? No. Just no. The movie was basically trash, save the Leo and Raph fight scene.

Boring forgettable villains.

Why make 12 or 13 monsters and only show like...3?

Were Mikey and Don in the movie?

Did Casey even do.... well.....anything?

Repeating the origin twice? Just to fill up screen time?

Splinter angry at Leo for not getting the family together when HE sent Leo off and broke up the family in the first place? And why the hell did he ground the others just cause Leo was gone?

No. Just no.

Pretty good. He got all of the points just right, along with the usual Cinema Sins running gags. I wish he'd also do II and III.

I agree with most of his points.

This movie is so bad it could potentially give people brain tumor. I had to edit out the godawful cringeworthy opening scene (boring narration: "4 brothers...4 turtles..", ancient time 3000 years ago and jungle central america) and also April's redundant recycling of the ancient storytelling again.

There's other stuff too but it's just better to ignore it, too much effort. It's the most excruciating movie to watch, even TMNT3 is better than this tripe. I would've thrown it in a trash can but the passable CGI is what holds me back. Barely. Another thing that's redeemable to me is that excellent rooftop rain fight scene.

Well, this guy isn't so smart. He bitched about Donnie's Bo holding him on the building, and apparently he wasn't paying attention to how the bo was placed. The stuff he's complaining about is nothing "wrong". If anyone is an asshole, it's this dude.

And even THAT had a stupid reason of being. What was Leo's problem with anyone else fighting crime in the city? Why isn't he all up in Casey's grill about that ****?

Because of Leo's mindset of him being "better than you/everyone else" maybe. Yeah he should've outed Casey if that's the case.

I doubt the writers think thoroughly for his character in this movie, sadly.

Firstly, it's not all meant to be taken seriously. Secondly, he brought out tons of valid points. Thirdly, there was nothing on the bo that kept Don from falling due to his own weight. You can't just place a stick on the edge of something and have it somehow keep the rest of you from falling. And if there was something there weighing down the staff... they sure didn't angle the shot clear enough to show it.
