How old were you when you saw Ninja Turtles the movie? - Page 7

*ObiWanFan4life* · 04-14-2013, 05:14 AM

I was 8 years old

FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza · 04-14-2013, 11:42 AM

I would have been atleast 6 years old.
We didn't see any movies in theaters when my sister and I were that young. I didn't even see Jurassic Park which came out a couple years later (and I REALLY want to see it in theaters in 3D because of that).

I just know I still have the tape, it's still in great condition considering it survived my childhood, and I always watched it...
Not as much as I watched Star Wars, which my mom threatened to tape over the movie if I didn't watch something else lol

But much of my childhood is blank from my memory so, to me, I just always had the VHS and I always watched it.

Hehehe. I'm that same age, all those stupid people making fun of my tmnt lunch box, but I don't care!

I was 9, and thought it was a movie for adults. I still love it.

7 years old. I remember going to see it like it was yesterday. When that tmnt logo popped up on the screen with Leo's shadow in the background, hearing them talk and all that. I was taken by it

Sadly I repressed my TMNT fandom 'cus I was being made fun of in school for it.
Infact basically anything I did resulted in torment... video games, etc.

It KINDA is... or atleast I think it's more adult in themes then the other movies.
I think it's why I watch it the most to this day.
And the TMNT movie 'cus the CG still looks great to me. I loved the teaser seeing them all just animated so seamlessly and gracefully as they were beautifully lit, running across roof tops.

Young enough that I don't know how old I was, younger than 7 and I saw both the first and the second movie the same day on Pay Per View.

Not necessarily, there are some members of both genders in their 40's and 50's. & besides that, what matters is your love for the turtles, not whether or not it's age appropriate. The turtles and their message is a timeless one.

1984TMNT · 04-15-2013, 05:44 PM

I was 10 1/2, and loved every second of it, though having not read the comics by that point, wondered why it was as "serious" as it was. It grew to be my favorite interpretation of the TMNT, save the "misguided street kids" = foot clan aspect.

To this day, that is the only thing I would have changed. It's definitely one of my favorite movies, all time.

I couldn't agree more! I first saw the film when I was 3 or 4, now I am 24 and still watch it at least once a year!

Nameless · 04-18-2013, 09:05 AM

Cheers.
I saw the movie when I was a little older than most of you, as I was one of those parents back then, buying the stuff for my son.
So I took him to see it. I was 26. And, I thought it was excellent, so started to pay more attention to the cartoon, and loved it.

jetfire prime · 04-19-2013, 02:32 AM

I was probably four years old. I was born in 1991 so I watched it on VHS. I was different, because most people I talk to mentioned how they watched the cartoon, whereas I grew up watching the first movie, so anytime I talk about the characters, I normally picture the turtles from the first movie. I saw the cartoons eventually but vastly preferred movie one and still love it to this day.

That's awesome dude.

I must have been ten or eleven. It was a bit of a land-mark moment in my life because I was old enough to have gone off the turtles a bit due to feeling too 'grown up' for it.

(at that stage I wasn't aware of the Mirage world) The darker aspect of it really opened up another world of turtles and from then on I was hooked. I doubt I'd still be a fan were it not for that film.

Half Sh3ll Hero · 04-19-2013, 02:47 PM

I was seven years old. It was a Tuesday night. I was wearing my sacramento kings jacket... most epic night of my life.

My brother had let me read his Mirage Turtles comics as a kid and I watched the OT whenever I could. So the movie was like a sign from the gods that turtles were the holy grail lol.

Great movie from beginning to end. I remember the car ride home my older brother and I were arguing which of the brothers had the best weapons and if Splinter could win a one on one fight with Shredder. Good times.
