Just crazy. You'd think they'd want to keep such an amazing IP going with multiple live action films but not a one since the third one in the 90s. Fucking crazy. The 05 CGI one wasn't that bad, either. You think they'll ever make a new live action TMNT?!

This some sort of fanfic?

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

The original was so good. Everything went down after that.

Dude the second one actually had Bebop, Rocksteady, Baxter Stockman, and KRANG.

But it was garbage...I mean, doesn't exist.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

TMNT 1990 is still one of the best comic book film adaptions. It has so much heart and a great, grungy style.

 

[Romulus]

I wonder how the cgi movies did at the box office

It was better then the 3rd movie. Time travel? Really?

I liked the two CG movies. Some decent lolz and epic set pieces.

 

[Raven117]

The first one was legit good with some great themes, like family and brotherhood.

This lecture can apply to me today more than when I first watched it. (As goofy as that is)./

 

[ManaByte]

First one about $500M on a $150M budget, second $245M on a $135M budget.

They're rebooting again.

 

[Blade2.0]

TMNT OG is on Netflix but leaving soon. I'm going to give it a watch tonight.

Should have won an Academy Award for including Krang

 

[Blade2.0]

The problem with the new ones is that I've watched them both and can't remember a thing about them.

 

[Guy_who_thinks_hes_cool]

honestly am also down for a new animated series

 

[AJUMP23]

The first movie is basically the First Comic with bits from the first 10 comics by Eastman and Laird. Which is a great story. TMNT 1 has the rooftop battle with Shredder, they kill him in TMNT 1. And then E&L come back write the series with them getting kicked by Shredder returned, going to the farm (but it is Leo that is hurt) they regroup and Leo cuts off Shredders head in a 1 on 1 dual.

[jshackles]

There were plans (and a script) for a fourth TMNT movie in the late 90s that never happened.

Would have loved for this to be a reality.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[AJUMP23]

I do love that first movie.

I remember news stories about the worry over an 18 minute fight sequence.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Tmnt and marvel has to work together.

I loved those movies, especially the first two. They seemed to get worse as they went along, though. First was best, second was almost as good, and the third was meh. I only saw the first TMNT CGI movie, but I liked it. I need to see the second one if it has Krang!

The 2003 animated show did that adaptation so well.

Should give it a shot. It's really good.

I liked one of the cartoon reboots where they had the Triceretons. Which is an original comic storyline too.

 

[Trunx81]

If you want to know why the 2nd movie killed the franchise, watch this. Explains it quite well. The first part is also quite good.

Why did they change April for TMNT SOTO? The girl in 1 was not traditional April but she was good. They should have kept her for 2.

That was the 03 one if it wasn't CGI. That was the 2012 one

 

[ElRenoRaven]

From everything I've read and seen apparently she was hard to get along with because she was always complaining about the shooting schedule and violence level in the movie and also apparently fought against them using a cartoon accurate look for her costume. As a result she wasn't asked back for the sequel.

It happened. The art and animation was really fluid and colorful. No one watched it

That will do it, get in the movie and be difficult.

The switch from turtles to toads was a strange flex.

She f*ckd Raphael?

I’m actually glad that they canceled the series. The German dub had these weird noises for each hit, to make it more kids friendly.

Im prolly the only one who liked the third one where they go back to Japan, also had a nice soundtrack.

No I liked it. I won't defend it because it was awful but it was a case of it was so bad it's good to me. I agree the soundtrack was great. The action wasn't bad. The script could have used some tweaks dialog wise and story wise and then it could have been great. The biggest offender and why I can't help but laugh is just the god awful animatronics and designs of the turtles and splinter though. Those were awful but awful in a way you couldn't help but laugh. I still very much enjoy it though in spite of all this. It's why I own the entire 3 movies on Blu-Ray.

 

[Scotty W]

I loved the first two, but the third came out too late. I saw it years later and thought it was really funny. I would kill to see a new movie shot in the same style with an old skool script.

wait what? where??

 

[March Climber]

Unfortunately it was stuck on cable TV, specifically Nickelodeon. Nearly every critic applauded the amount love that was put into the art and animation but it didn't matter because the viewer numbers weren't there.
