Too bad Donatello couldn't live to see this day.
I just bought the movie four pack on blu-Ray and now is a good a time as any to rewatch the first movie.
I last watched it a few years ago and was surprised at how well it held up. The costume effects really were amazing work. The only thing I don't really like about this movie is how Shredder is basically a hulking , grunting silver monster. There isn't really any character to him.
I rewatched and enjoyed all three a few months ago. Yes, even the third one.
Great movies.
I still wish 2 had Bebop and Rocksteady instead of new characters. Also, leaving Krang out was probably a good idea given how it would have looked on the big screen compared to a cartoon. Though a big screen Technodrome would have blown our child minds back then.
I haven't really been able to get into anything TMNT related since the 90s cartoon and movies. Except for the 2007 TMNT movie which I enjoyed. I haven't seen the new one yet at all. Nor have I ever watched any of the newer cartoons that came about. Also, I have never read a comic book in my life.
Favorite scene is where the pizza guy delivers to a sewer grate and then bitches about not finding it.

I believe you are referring to the QTE Shredder that was this
Which, ironically enough, was 100x less effective than normal Shredder. Complete disappointment.
TMNT I & II unfortunately don't look so good. All three live action films are sharpened and filtered. Sadly of the three live action films the third one looks the best on Blu-ray. The CGI film looks pretty good. The US Warner Bros release is still worth picking up though because it doesn't look like there will be a better looking version in the nearby future.^Wise man say, forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza.
Please let us know how the video quality of them are please.
The puppetry is god tier.
Henson's best probably

It's on my list.Watch the Nickelodeon cartoon. Now. Start from the beginning. Now. So good. I agree with everything you said, watch the current Nickelodeon version. So good.
Bebop and Rocksteady would have been awesome. I loved their characters. They'd have been more entertaining than the childlike Tokka and Rhaza (sp?) we got.Apparently they didn't use any characters from the original animated series because of the way the character rights were distributed back then. New Line Cinemas only had the rights to use characters that were created for the 1984 comic book and didn't have access to the ones that were being used exclusively in the 1987 animated series.
But they did talk about using Bebop and Rocksteady in the sequel, which was something that Eastman and Laird vetoed. Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird were always more invested in the original comic book universe than the 1987 universe, so maybe they did try to push to keep the material as close to their original comic book as possible. Which it did for the most part. So many scenes from the 1990 movie were taken right out of the original comic series, Like Raphael meting Casey Jones, the farm thing , the battle in Aprils pawn shop or whatever, and the final fight on the roof.
Agreed! I love Little Shop (I even bought the soundtrack) and if you showed me that movie today I'd swear the plant was CGI. It's so damn good. The fluid animation of mouths and other body parts they were able to do back then without computer aid is mind-blowing. I was so happy when I learned they were using puppets in the Hitchhikers Guide movie 10 years ago too. (So sad we didn't get a second movie.)It is definitely their best work at that point in time for sure. Though personally, my favorite piece of puppeteering that they did in a movie will always be Audry II from Little Shop of Horrors.
Literally the first sentence of the thread.

The title did confuse me too but once I saw the photo in the OP I knew what it was referring to.The title is misleading. But it's not a big deal
all I want from a TMNT movie is for them to do it Sin City style.
black and white and loads of violence.

I saw it in theatres, the first movie I ever saw opening night since I would not shut up about it from the day I heard about it. Loved every minute of it, I actually was somewhat familiar with the comics even back then as for some reason there was a TMNT trade paperback in the school library. As a kid I consumed all turtles-related media with a rabid passion but I liked the darker comic stuff a lot more. So the movie being kind of a combination of the comics and cartoon was right up my alley.
One thing though, I swear there was a scene in the version I saw in theatres that didn't make it to video. It was when the turtles were hiding out on the farm, as some kind of training exercise the other 3 turtles had to fight Leo. And Leo was blindfolded, I think he just turned his bandanna around or something. He kicked all their asses, and that's why he became my favorite turtle at the time. There's no way I'm just making this up because I remember it in vivid detail but I never saw it again outside of the theatre.

So edgy. The movie was perfectly fine given the subject matter. (Didn't watch the linked video).One of the best comic book to big screen adaptations ever. I hope Barron gets to make his director's cut some day. There's some interesting stuff left behind in the cutting room floor.

Yep. The original movie is still great as is the 2014 movie. People crying about that but prefer the original series are delusional.Nick Turtles is best Turtles.

tired old meme
Was obsessed with this (and everything turtles) when younger... unfortunately didn't think it held up well in a recent rewatch though.
Not as bad as rewatching that Kevin Costner Robin Hood movie... *shudders*... but yeah it hasn't aged particularly well imo.

Also best Casey Jones to date still.
Off in the distance
the game's dragging on
there's strikes on the batter
some runners are on
And suddenly everyone's looking at me
my mind has been wonderin' "what it could be?"
they point to the sky
and I look above
and a baseball falls right into my gloove
I play right field
it's important to know
you gotta know how to catch
you gotta know how to throw
That's why I play in right field
way out where the dandelions grooooow
fuck that 2014 movie. The Nickelodeon movie COULD HAVE been better, they just don't have the vision for it.
It's a meme now? Nahhh
