well it still can't be as bad as TMNT 2007. I hate everything about that movie.
I honestly forgot that the 2007 rendition even existed. How was it received in the general TMNT community?

And hey, I love Boyhood and I liked it!

I do really want to see this film. I just have a sinking feeling seeing it in theaters will make me miserable. There are just certain films that have been doing that to me lately, despite being around some wonderful art house cinemas.
Man I loved the 2007 CG movie. I thought it was really, really fun and that rooftop fight was fucking awesome. The actual plot about the stone dudes was whatever but I didn't think it was much of a focus.
Same here. I liked everything about the movie except the plot, which was pretty dull and didn't make much sense.Man I loved the 2007 CG movie.

Is it at least the same kind of level as turtles the first movie or more secret of the oooze?
Also could you guys see this getting a sequel?
I need to know what the deal with Shredder is, is Oroku Saki in the movie? If so does he actually live through the entire movie or do they do some swap with the white guy?
Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post in here (even with spoiler tags.)
Is the humor 'Michael Bay Cringe-worthy' or is it the kind that kids can enjoy but adults won't be turned off from?
The Michael Bay comparisons are going to get very old now. Basically it's going to come down to "Does this movie have jokes!?" as stylistically there is nothing else to bridge the two close together.
There is crude humor, but nothing really out of the characters of the turtle's own stereotypes.
Caught the screening of this in Cherry Hill, NJ last night
Nice, a fellow Gaffer!
Wasn't that line chaos? They did a terrible job separating that stuff, and nobody was prepared for the concessions stuff. I barely made it back in time to get to my saved seats!
edit:
If you want to know my biggest beef with the origin... spoiler here
It's how Splinter learns how to fight. He has no idea how to fight when he's down in the sewer. He happens across a book teaching ninjutsu and then teaches himself how to fight before he teaches the Turtles how to fight. With one little dirty book. Eh but whatever.
Cool I was wondering if anyone else from here would have been there last night. Yeah the line was insane. I got there around 6:30. I went to pull out my tickets and the guy didn't even look at them. He just points to the back. I had a friend meeting me there (he was my second ticket) and I didn't want to lose our place in line so I just told him to walk to the back because I doubt he would be stopped by anyone and he wasn't. He just walked back.
Once he got into line we determined there was no way we were getting in and that it didn't look like they were honoring the reserved seating from Geekadelphia's tickets.We were actually set to just jump over and buy tickets for Edge of Tomorrow at 7:30. Thankfully around 7 they came by us actually looking at tickets, saw we had Geekadelphia ones and then pulled us from the line. We got seats second row from the back. I went to the bathroom and scoped out the concession line and yeah, insane. Didn't even bother to get the free popcorn/drink. Was totally content just having a good seat.
I guess you missed the trivia questions since you waited in line? The guy asked "Who is the Turtle's Masked friend?" and some little kid, completely serious, says "Indiana Jones." I loved it. I would have handed him a prize just because.
If this were a porn clip, everybody would be OK with Megan being the way she is.
But this is a proper movie. And unfortunately Megan brings her trademark wet rag acting skills. Her plump bits don't compensate for her drab and awful acting.

Didn't really like the 2007 film. I couldn't tell which Turtles universe this took place in. Was it a sequel to the old films or was it based of the WB cartoon?
Can't really tell from the trailers, does this movie have any actual martial arts action in it?(like the 1st film)

Their noses definitely ruin the look.
Edit: Actually, you know what? They just look way too human overall. Makes them look more weird/freaky than cool. I like the look of the 1990 turtles a lot more.
It had a clear shot in the movie of a "trophy room" with Shredder's helmet and the time travel staff from the third movie
I'm gonna take a guess at opening weekend numbers & say $40 million. For reference, it's tracking for $39 million.
I don't think that's sign this takes place in any continuity, considering the nature of the story here and the way it's being set up as a new take on the turtles. They're just nice little easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans.
I think they're referring to the 2007 movie, ya?
Is that good or bad?
Not good.
Also, this apparently ties into the film a bit. Explains their origins more.

I never heard of it until after seeing the film.
Here's a link to the video they produced for that site if anyone is curious:

I've been slowly reading the original comic series and I'm actually a huge fan of the "Legend of the Yokai" since it's not really an origin but more of a legend, something that actually is grounded in Japanese mythology and easily tangles itself into the turtles' origin.
Haha he still has the jacketWhile I did get foam fingers, Keno was NOT at my screening.
FUCK.
Without giving away too much, for this particular film this video serves closer as an origin.
That's not a bad origin, really. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'm dying to. Though like I mentioned, I am currently reading the original comic series and during their first fight, Shredder calls them "Kappa".
I've been talking to some TMNT fans about the film. Many are a bit delusional and are trying to believe there is only a particular way to create the origin.
Basically, you need to head into this film knowing you are going to be told a story about four mutated turtles and their surrogate rat father. Outside that, of course there are going to be liberties taken.
Haha, exactly. I've been looking at so many Youtube comments, Twitter and also things written on this board about people going nuts about how Michael Bay is ruining the Turtles... And I'm like, are you seriously going to nitpick about a property in which household turtles mutate and later become trained in ninjustu by a rat who mimic'd martial arts from his human master?
Can you only nitpick somber stories?
