  • vtbarrera, on 04/23/2009, -2/+66The first few live action TMNT movies played an integral role in my childhood, I can only hope this movie does the same for the current generation, or we're all screwed.
  • AndrewDB, on 04/23/2009, -2/+58PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RATE IT R.

    Bring back the swearing turtles who aren't afraid to get a little bit gored of yesteryear!
  • twotimesthru, on 04/23/2009, -1/+44Pizza dude's got thirty seconds...
  • Dr3w, on 04/23/2009, -0/+34"4Kids Entertainment, master licensing agency for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property, will be handling all the movie merchandise licensing."

    Something tells me we won't be so lucky.
  • badwithcomputer, on 04/23/2009, -9/+39Ugh. Where do they come up with this stuff?
  • wpc33, on 04/24/2009, -0/+28Wise man say, To forgive is divine, but never pay full-price for late pizza!
  • WriterSD, on 04/23/2009, -1/+26"All this has happened before and will happen again..."
  • DigKitty, on 04/23/2009, -3/+27Aren't there already like 4 of these movies?
  • recruz, on 04/23/2009, -0/+21Donatello: Good thing these guys aren't lumberjacks!
    Michaelangelo: No joke. The only thing safe in the woods... would be the trees!
  • reaper527, on 04/23/2009, -0/+20this sounds more like a ninja turtles version of batman begins
  • TheAllBeing, on 04/23/2009, -0/+20Hey, this is a 10. The tab is 13.
  • thondar, on 04/23/2009, -2/+21Senior Mutant Ninja Turtles!
  • kernel16, on 04/23/2009, -0/+18This better be in 80s gritty New York, and not the modern Sex and the City clean every single woman's fashion mecca New York...
  • cerealjynx, on 04/23/2009, -4/+22Uh, did you watch the third live action movie?
  • reaper527, on 04/23/2009, -2/+20the 3 live action ones were much better than the cg one, so we'll see how this turns out. i for one, am excited
  • BrownieMix, on 04/23/2009, -1/+17I hope the turtles are puppets like the old movies, and not full CGI. This movie should be amusing. The old TMNT movies were a big part of my childhood. I really hope it's a good movie.
  • tolbs, on 04/23/2009, -1/+16Who else is hoping Corey Feldman is reprising his role as Donatello?
  • ThinkSoJoE, on 04/24/2009, -0/+15Oh come on, I couldn't find the place!
  • DAC1138, on 04/23/2009, -0/+14I believe he was jokingly quoting the first TMNT movie.
  • bubbameister33, on 04/23/2009, -0/+13The CG was pretty good in my opinion. It wasn't overly cheesy and it didn't take it self too serious.
  • edwadokun, on 04/23/2009, -3/+16what kind of freaky tmnt did u grow up watching?
  • lead2thehead, on 04/23/2009, -0/+12Failabunga dude!
  • AndrewDB, on 04/24/2009, -0/+12I read the comic.
  • lead2thehead, on 04/23/2009, -0/+12Probably from the one that was released in 1987.
  • directrix13, on 04/23/2009, -0/+12@BrownieMix:
    Right, but they were still real actors in suits. Except for Splinter I believe.
  • inactive, on 04/23/2009, -5/+16Ever read the comic?

    Didn't think so.
  • inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+11puppets? Those were real actors in a suit.
  • dzhastin, on 04/23/2009, -1/+12Why are they still wasting time on these when a Battletoads movie has yet to be made???
  • rexCo, on 04/24/2009, -1/+11I thumbed up every reply here.

    Well done.
  • jmbrysk, on 04/23/2009, -0/+9Producer of 300 and Superman Returns? The other producer from the CGI movie made a few years back? No Eastman?

    This isn't your Turtles revival. Move along, there's nothing to see here.
  • inactive, on 04/23/2009, -0/+9I don't think it'll be possible to top Secret of the Ooze, though. They might as well remake On The Waterfront.
  • imautobot, on 04/23/2009, -1/+10T U R T L E Power!
  • immatellyouwhat, on 04/23/2009, -2/+11I loved the live action ones. Hope this one will be just as good. In other words, don't ***** up my childhood.
  • gooberguy, on 04/23/2009, -0/+9cowa, but okay
  • protodon, on 04/23/2009, -0/+8I'm thinking this one will be a little serious. If you've ever watched the original TMNT movies, they're really corny. I still love them but I'd like to see something a little more grown-up.
  • inactive, on 04/23/2009, -1/+9It wasn't direct to dvd.
  • mywhitenoise, on 04/23/2009, -0/+8I think you're forgetting the first and third films as well.
  • AmyVernon, on 04/23/2009, -2/+10Hey, it's GOT to be better than that crap-ass Garfield movie.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 04/23/2009, -1/+9$$$
  • logicbus, on 04/23/2009, -0/+8If the CG movie had been rated R they could have made it true to the Eastman and Laird comics. But they didn't, and April was a ninja, and it sucked.
  • Treshnell, on 04/23/2009, -4/+11Yeah, it was pretty awesome.
  • blofeld9999, on 04/23/2009, -1/+8I'm only interested if April is nude the entire movie. That's the only way to make up for TMNT 2 and TMNT 3.
  • crilen007, on 04/24/2009, -0/+7No one remembers the quote from the original movie when he's in the theater I guess. I dugg ya though.
  • Kuestionmark, on 04/23/2009, -1/+8they're ninja turtles...
  • Craftybadger, on 04/23/2009, -1/+8They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)
  • bob_the_alien, on 04/23/2009, -2/+9The First live action movie was great, the second, and the CG one are about equal in my mind, they weren't bad but, they weren't that good either, and 3, well, lets just forget that one ever happened shall we.
  • exscind, on 04/24/2009, -0/+7I gotta get a new route.
