TMNT movie

Has anyone seen this movie yet? What did you think?

I really liked the first two movies when I was a kid, and
I'm hoping the new one will bring back the memories. I
haven't seen it yet but I hope to soon.

I saw it the other night and sort of liked it. It takes a
lot of its content and style from the Mirage comics (April
is not a reporter here, for example), doesn't feel much like
the cartoons. In fact it's almost too serious. Not a bad
movie though.

First TMNT movie is still the best though. Felt the most
like the Eastman/Laird comics. I loved it so much when I was
a lad.

The first 2 were great. The (third?) was terrible.

"It's quiet!"
"Yeah, a little too quiet!"

"That was easy!"
"Yeah, a little too easy!"
"Look! It's Raph!"
"Yeah, a little too Raph!"

Even at 10 I knew Turtles 3 was the worst movie ever. Paige
Turco was hot though.

Who is your F A V O R I T E S T turtle? Mines is
Leoraphatellardangelo, even though the turtles with bladed
weapons are doomed to lose because they can't use them due
to the pg rating. A ninja turtle movie with graphic kill
bill style slicing and nunchuckicizing would rule.

At one time michaelangelo should say "Don't make me
nunchuckicize you!"

Also naked breasts + muppets = box office smash hit as
howard the duck proved.

Raph because I could relate to his fiery temper and loner
mentality. I always resented how much he sucked in the video
games, because his Sai weapons had such poor range. He also
got all the ladies... Mona Lisa in the cartoon and Ninjara
in the comics.

Oh yeah. tmnt 2 (arcade version) (plus another for genesis
called turtles in time I think) were great, or are nostalgic
at least since they might not be that fun to play anymore.
You basically just press a+b all the time to do the jump
slash. They should have a (muppety) tmnt movie where they
meet the battletoads.

rebuying tmnt 1 for NES was probably the biggest nostalgia
I've ever had. It was sad that I beat that one cyber guy on
the rooftop so easily this time, but I still havn't beat the
game because that top down manhole maze where planes fly
overhead.

TMNT1 was just recently released on the Wii Virtual Console,
so a whole new generation of gamers can experience how
amazingly cheap and frustrating it is. Angry Nintendo Nerd ably
summed it up. As a kid I didn't care about its problems, and
I had a lot of fun with it. It was kind of open-ended and
felt like a real adventure. I think you'd have to be a real
masochist to try to beat it without cheats though. Part of
its ''charm''.

TMNT2 and TMNT3 have aged poorly because you have like 2
moves, but I think Turtles in Time holds up well, you've got
a variety of things to beat up and a variety of moves to
beat them up with.

I finished the first TMNT NES game, recently. It's actually
pretty easy, except for the last corridor leading up to
Shredder. It's not as bad of a game as people make it out to
be, although it does have its, ahem, "quirks".

The TMNT beat-em-ups are wicked. The two on NES are good,
and the SNES one (Turtles In Time) is my favourite.

I disagree with his double dragon 3 review. I probably beat
that game 5 times. Also chin is one of the most useful
characters; you just have to use his iron claw on the
bosses, then change characters before he dies.

I also liked simons quest, but everyone agrees ducking at
that wall to make the tornado come with a crystal is too
cryptic.

Ummm yeah.... So what about the new movie then? Do we need
to start a new thread here?

P.S. In the movie "The Toxic Avenger IV: Citizen Toxie",
Kevin Eastman litterally gets his head smashed in between
Julie Strain's naked breasts... I thought that was funny to
the max.

Are the later Toxic movies any good? I'm a big fan of the
first one.

fucking pathetic if you think of people in suits finding the
target audience of loser 30 year olds and giving them a
remake of characters from their childhood. Unless kids today
still know about/play with ninja turtles.

There's a new cartoon series you know? The style of the new
series is also more hip and radical like kids
today.

I could make it up to some point in the Technodrome. I'm not
sure how close to Shredder I was because I've never seen
him. I'd always die in horrific slow-motion, swarmed over by
those jet pack guys. My sisters have beaten it though.

Favourite turtle: Donatello

how can the same board that shoots children of men to pieces
even consider the new TMNT excercise in marketing as
warrenting its own thread or having a single positive word
said about it.

That's why we talked about videogames. Doom 2's Hell
Revealed wad is the best videogame ever and I wouldn't mind
if it placed reality, and it basically did for awhile. Gotta
love that reality. There's so many options in it, such as
failing, losing, not succeeding, etc.
