If this movie had come out 20 years ago you would all be swimming in my semen right now.
Released this year though? I might buy it on DVD when it comes out.

I call hypocrite! You were the one pushing "Save the Last Dance" or some relatable (in the terrible sense) Cheerleader movie...
Mole may have the tastes of a 13 year old, true. But you, VVD, have the tastes of a 13 year old girl!
Oh, BURN!

BURN indeed. :lol:
Yeah, it was pretty cool preview. Still would wish they went something along the likes of the movie and not the show, which doesn't matter what anyone says, this is tune more with the show then the previous movies, even though it's in continuity with the movies.

It was "Stick It" and "John Tucker Must Die" for the record-----and although I admitted that at one time, silly teen movies have some sort of strange voodoo-ish hold over me....I did acknowledge them to be ****ty films.
And forgive me for having some weird fascination with 20-something year old girls playing 16-17 year old girls on film. You know the motto:
So yes.....BURN indeed. But I still have better taste than Moley. Sorry Mole---it's true.
I show my love in the form of public humiliation and shame.

Touche.
And the only reason I can't watch those films are because you have to listen to the chicks talk for two hours straight. If it was just them jumping around on a trampoline for a couple hours, I'm sure I could stay interested.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / 2007
My excitement for this movie has gone back and forth. My fandom for the Turtles comes from the old TV show, so I wouldn't want a really dark movie like how I've heared the original comics were. On the other hand, I was hoping that this movie would do something that would make fans of the older comics happy, because I can sympathize with getting a totally off adaptation of something you're a fan of.
So, IMO, a mix of more serious storylines and humor, something like that of the original 1990 movie, would be best. The director of this movie, Munroe, seemed to really understand that from the interviews I've read.
But the promotions have been kinda mixed for me. They do have some funny lines and things, but some other lines have sounded kinda stupid :? The Teaser Trailer was great however, and I loved the four Turtle Posters, (especially the one with Mikey, he is all kinds of awesome :lol
As for villains, I like that they choose not to resurrect Shredder in this one, and even though I hadn't heard of her before this movie, Karai sounds cool. However, the whole portal opening with monsters in it seemed a little silly and clichéd to me.
Onto the animation: I think the Turtles look awesome, but the people… Well, I don't really like how they look at all. I still think they should have gone with a live-action movie and CGI Turtles. Also, I don't know Casey too well outside the 90's film, but this Casey seems a little off, is that just me? And, what's up with April in ninja gear? 0_o
So, I'm already unsure what to think about this movie, but now reviews have been pretty mixed. But, in the movies defense, the people who didn't like it seem to know less of what they're talking about then I do (which, believe me, is no easy feat.) One site even criticized them for shortening the Turtles names. Um, they've always been Leo, Raph, Mikey and Donny, because saying Leonardo, Raphael , Donatello and Michelangelo all the time would be way too long :roll:

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / 2007
I just got back from seeing this in theaters. My love for the turtles goes waaaaay back, so I was really looking forward to this film.
It was teh awesome. But I'm sure plenty of people would argue with me.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / 2007
It was pretty good. I think that story-wise, it feels like its just an hour and 40 minute version of the show. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it was geared too much towards new kids instead of a "general" audience. The atmosphere definetly keeps the same as the previous movie, which means fun and great action.
Another flaw is the CGI. While great work, still too "kiddish" (for the lack of a better word). It should've been geared towards not just new kids, but the olds fans alike, which could've happen and still kept it PG. And I mean this overall, not just the CGI. The turtles, Splinter, and Foot clan were perfect, though, in the CGI work.
Kevin Smith's cameo was cool. Almost missed it. They should've made his character look like him.
Best part was hands down, Leo vs Raph. ****ing awesome. Movie was worth it just for that alone.
Rating: 2.9/5
Edit:
The septer (sp?) from III was shown here. SWEET.
Also, who else thinks that they'll make a sequel with the return of Shredder? With that comment Karai made, I say he just might.

Yeah, that would be cool and really does go hand in hand with what Karai said.
