I've had several drinks and now in queue for the screening. Ask me anything.

The least they could have done is gone the reincarnation route from IDW with Splinter being Hamato Yoshi from ancient Japan.

Don't insult Master Splinter like that.

Just one other last curiousity, any mention, hinting, or cameo of Baxter, or Roacksteady and Bebop?

If a Rat can learn martial arts by watching his owner practicing, I'm sure that one is more possible.

[CyberCubed]

Maybe in the sequel they'll explain Splinter was Hamato Yoshi in his past life.

Nope.

That sounds a bit absurd, I can't see that being any sort of actual reasoning. In fact, having Sacks tied into that arc furthers foreign elements.

I'unno, that's just what some people were speculating. Who knows?

That's what I'm thinking too

[TigerClaw]

Here's another question.

Is there an End Credit Scene?

I could see that as a possibility. Again, it's really just a footnote. Throwing it out in this film wouldn't have made much sense.

...yet again, there are many things that don't make sense in this film. Plot being one of them. That however is TMNT franchise 101.

How were the sequences with the Turtle Van?

And more importantly, how were the opening titles?
Thanks in advance

Nope.

Very well then

What about the Classic Theme, Is there any Homage to that?

See, that's my entire thing, I'm a story-before-action kind of guy with movies and frankly, the story sounds completely like an afterthought to facilitate the fight scenes. I've seen a million CGI fight scenes in my life and they don't impress me as much as a good story does.

I'm sure it'll be Good Enough, just a little bit more let down by some of what I'm hearing.

Spoiler:

Turtle Van was basically a gag to close the film. No sequences.

That video that was linked not long ago in here is very similar to the animation. There is a nice overhead shot of the city in moving still-frame like the comics, but overall it's pretty cheap I would say.

Very briefly when Donatello hacks into April's computer.

I feel like I'm the only one who's not bothered by the oroku saki thing...

I've discussed this a ton of times with the most TMNT diehards. You can't expect this franchise to dish out a Batman Begins style presentation. This film has some things in common with that film, ultimately that's just not going to happen. The first film is the closest you're going to get to that. I mean, the storyboards were basically the comic books.

Ok cool, Is the Turtle Phone in the movie? I bet they give one to April in the end or something.

I gave zero ****s.

Spoiler:

In fact, when the April revelation was revealed there was an audible reaction from the crowd. Most who I'm assuming don't know what a TMNT comic book is. It was a nice moment.

[AquaParade]

To those that have seen the film,

What was the most surprising aspect of the experience?

Thanks

[Addison81]

Is the final fight good? Is it a short fight?

Turtle Phones? These ninjas are Section 8!

No phones.

[graphic_content]

Id like to throw my hat in....

...so there is a scene in the trailers where the Turtle stumble into a room FULL of the Foot, and the Foot rush towards the Turtles...

...do the Turtles rush in and have an epic 4 vs 100 battle, or do they comically run away?
