Guess you hate Volume 4 then, Gamera Raph, Mini Don. To me that's way lamer then cyborg Don and Raph with a jacked up face.

But yeah I too am glad it was a side thing and just what if.

It would have been kinda cool if they incorporated that into the movie. The Leo/Raph fight would have been even more intense

WITH A PASSION...

Concepts, writing, AND artwork (for the most part) in Volume 4 disgust me (not counting Tales of the TMNT...)

Plus... We sort of had Raph take that detour already of donning the mantle of a figure whom Leo is not very fond of. (My syntax grows all the more interesting as the night progresses.) It would have been interesting to see him as Shredder, but.... I kind of agree that it was best not to have him (or even a likeness of Shredder) featured in this movie. Instead, we get another Image comics reference: Knight Watchman.

I'm sorry. I'm not very positive today, am I?

I will be most displeased if Karai being a Shredder wannabe.

I prefer Karai unknown to the turtles, has saved the Shredder and tries to revive him back to normal extracting the ooze chemical from his blood(that explains his absense in the 3rd and fourth movie+Karai said about familiar face from the past). Put in some weird scientist and we have Oroku Saki back on track.

I voted A.

I have seen the movie 5 times now, and have enjoyed it each time, but I didn't think it was spectacular. I did however think it was a very good film.

The relationship explored between Leonardo and Raphael was, as always, compelling and touching. There is a deep competitiveness there, and a feeling of resentment/jealousy and, whilst he will never admit it, perhaps inferiority on Raphael's part. Their competitive streaks sort of reminds me of my own relationship with my brother. The fight between the two was paramount and was a shock for Leonardo because it finally cast doubt upon his strongly reinforced belief that he is indeed the best ninja of the turtles. It also cememnted and proved to Raphael that he COULD be the leader, if as Splinter said, he tempered his qualities with compassion and humility, thus making him feel more adequate. Raphael is such a complex, troubled individual and reminds me somewhat of myself, and I empathise and admire him. His loving, loyal, protective nature which is hidden behind a facade of bravado. He is quickly becoming my favourite turtle, becasue when I was a kid I was intelligent and logical (and thus liked Donatello), but as I grew up I began to experience intense emotions and attachments towards people (a la Raph).

As that was potentially the main theme of the film, Michelangelo and Donatello didn't get much screen time. However. Donnie came across as the old head on young shoulders the real incarnation of him is, and he tried to steer Mikey on the right path.

The combat was reasonably engaging, the CGI freed the Turtles up to be outstandingly acrobatic, something live action would have made impossible. but the fight between Leo and Raph stands above all else.

No disrespect to Mako, but I am not sure his was the correct voice for Splinter. He just sounded TOO old and his voice was that of a very old man which contradicted the fighting he was able to perform at the movie's cilmax.

These are just my personal thoughts, and are in no way 100 per cent true. All in all though, it is a pretty good movie which I would award about 8/10. I am also very pleased with Karai's insinuation of a sequel involving the Shredder.

OH, I apologize for not being here often, I have had some personal prolems and thus had limited internet access.

MAESTAS · 04-07-2007, 07:45 PM

I loved the movie! I can't wait to own it on dvd. The turtles looked sweet, and there was nothin bad about the movie. I don't have a favorite turtle, but I definitely have something in common with all 4 of the turtles.

Leonardo's_Girl · 04-08-2007, 10:10 AM

I actually though it was really fantastic to the point I had to add it to my favorite movies list. It contains a good plot, good CGI (compare to alot of the CGI movies we got in 2006, well except for Ice Age 2, Cars, Monster House, Happy Feet, and Over the Hedge, they were all good), kick-butt action, lessons of honor, as well as brotherly relationships (especially of that and the conflicts between Leonardo and Raphael). There wasn't much of Donatello and Michelangelo mentioned, but it still remained at its greatness. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Shredder returned in the sequel, after all, Karai did mentioned that she and the foot would return with someone or something from the past. Anyway, it's a enjoyable movie, and I only recommendation I would give to kids younger than five, is that its good depends on that kid is used to watching. If a kid's not used to violence and action-packed stuff like that, I wouldn't recommend it for the kid, it might terrify it.

aabxx · 04-08-2007, 12:06 PM

I saw it for the first time just now because of certain complications.

AND OMFG IT was F****** INCREDIBLE.

Finally, FINALLY, after so many years, we have a brilliant TMNT-movie. And it looked SOOOOOO good... THANKYOU MR. MUNROE! THANKYOU!!! It was like past and present merged, and dream and reality became one. And I went with two kids who had never seen the turtles before and they shared my enthusiasm.

It looked oh so F****** good. And the soundtrack HIT YOU LIKE AN ORG***. And the turtles were like... I mean... they came to LIFE, plain and simple. And every moment was AWE-INSPIRING. I can't describe how F****** awesome it felt. I mean, it was so awesome I just want to scream F****** AWE****. I laughed, I cried, I cheered... and just now I screamed FU***** A***** and my sister just asked... what did you just say? And I screamed FU***** AWE**** again.

So you see... I really, really liked it. Shame on anyone who thinks it was anything short of F****** AW*****.

And warner bros, if you don't put out a sequel... I swear, I'm gonna **** **** *** ****.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-08-2007, 12:24 PM

whoa dude, slow down there, Cowboy.. too much excitment

Glad you enjoyed the movie.

And also, why'd you censor "awesome"?

*Revan* · 04-08-2007, 12:27 PM

After watching it awhile, I didn't realize it was CG as much. When the shots are just of the turtles and splinter it looked almost live action to me.

It's those pesky people that made me realize, Oh yeah I forgot this is CG

*Revan* · 04-08-2007, 12:28 PM

ya it is strange he would post this outside of my thread I mean that thread is so big now..

He's a new user. let him have his 30 seconds of fame

Like Spider Man says in Family guy when he saved Peter "You only get one!"

~~LogicDonny~~ · 04-08-2007, 12:31 PM

It is pretty awesome how far CG has come.

Speaking of CG, there was this channel that shows off cg shorts and one of them was this really old CG with a bird flying smiling at a fish in the water.. Oh if I could see that again..

JetsAndHeels · 04-08-2007, 12:39 PM

Hey aabxx, did you enjoy the movie?

My thoughts would be, "**** yes I did!!"

Glad you had a great time.

aabxx · 04-08-2007, 12:55 PM

I just wanted to stir up some enthusiasm... so I almost had to start a new thread

But seriously, it was F***** A******. I didn't get to watch it before today because of certain complications, but some of you guys had me a bit worried with all your moaning... but like seriously... it was so F****** extraordinarily F***** A***** that I can't believe any single one of you would dare critisize it or have any complaints. It was a piece of art, a mona lisa for this millennium.

We should be kissing the ground upon which Mr. Munroe walks. Okay, maybe not literally but he made our dreams come true, fellows! My sister (the one with the kids) said she was skeptic about how good a movie about mutated ninja turtles could be, but she took that back, thought it was great and I even made her shout cowabunga together with me. But she thought I was overdoing it a bit when I kept shouting F****** A***** just a while ago.

I'm going to take a bath now. If I stumble, hit my head somewhere and fall into the water and die, I won't mind. Why? Because the movie was F****** A******.

Yeah it was like a B-. Thats pretty good.

Only one movie has ever been so awesome that it somehow managed to make the word awesome dirty and explicit, and that movie is of course the a****** Hulk Hogan vehicle No Holds Barred.
