TMNT

<< < (7/8) > >>

Orbert:
Saw it this weekend. It wasn't too bad. Character angst, growing pains, semi-interesting storyline which was predictable but had a minor twist or two.

I think the woman was supposed to be the daughter of Shredder?  That's what I heard, anyway. For right now, she's spooky and mysterious. She did tell them point blank that they'd meet again, and obviously they've already got a few sequels mapped out, so I guess it's supposed to be a secret. But come on, how many possibilities are there?

ALoveSupreme:
The female leader of the foot is Korai, she's from the new series.  I forget where she came from exactly, but I don't think she's shreeder's daughter.  Just a remnant leader from the foot.

Cartilage Head:
 The Shredder's adopted daughter, actually!

I saw an advert on the television this morning depicting the turtles being thrust into the future. They were wearing weird futuristic gauntlets and there were hovercars. I think this abomination is called 'fast forward'? Mentioned earlier in this thread?

I whole heartedly agree about the piss poor quality that is Fast Forward.  what truly saddens me is that they have pretty much relagted this as the  TMNT animted series now as though show very little of the restarted one.

Mr_Seth:
Soo... I saw TMNT a couple days ago...

My thoughts? It wasn't the definitive TMNT experience. That honor still rests with the first live-action movie... Ernie Reyes may be a mediocre martial artist, but at least he had a good role there. I digress; it was actually an entertaining, if flawed, flick.

My gripes:
A) Too Raph/Leo-centric. Mikey was only in there for cheap jokes, and Don had - PERHAPS - 10 lines in the whole movie after his first appearance, none of which were particularly critical or plot-enhancing. This isn't to say the plot with Leo and Raph was poor - it was quite good - but it wasn't quite satisfying enough.

B) "Winters" character a tad flimsy. Good concept, but... well... if you're kickstarting a series from the 80's, I think you should start with a classic villain. Even if you wanna keep Shredder dead, which apparently they won't be doing, you could bring in one of the other villains from the comic series. Hell, I bet Wingnut and Screwloose are begging to be let back out of their box!

C) Cheesy angle with the 13 monsters. I know that ties in with Gripe B, but I thought it stood well enough on its own to be Gripe C. And I'm now critiquing my own gripes, it seems.



My kudos:
A) Kickass fight sequences. The BIG fight sequence (not the last one, but the most dramatic one... I won't spoiler it, although odds are you've heard of it by now) is actually worth the price of admission. Kicked the living shite outta anything from the Star Wars prequels.

B) Some worthy humor. A lot of throwaway jokes from Mikey, but a lot of good stuff in there as well.

C) An movie you can take your kid brother to and not feel ripped off after watching... bonus points!
