Ruined, completely ruined!


This could have been the best Turtles film out the lot. Huge fan service and geek out moments aplenty.

They went and completely ruined it by totally disrespecting the 1987 cartoon. It was no-where near that goofy and the whole film consisted of the 2003 cartoon ripping the piss out of their 80's counterparts who seemed like all of them were playing extreme versions of Michaelangelo.

A real shame as it was excellent apart from that and 4kids being too cheap to get the original cast but they really screwed the pooch on this one. Shredder '87 who was a real ninja master was a complete bitch and got it the worst. If it had bee more of a collaboration instead of a piss take it would have been superb.

Look I'm not being nostalgic for the old stuff. I love the 2003 cartoon just as much but I was there when the '87 cartoon was shown and it's a total case of inaccurate representation to try and get some cheap and snidy laugh. The whole film feels like a bunch of modern day kids giving the middle finger to it's older counterparts which, lets face it was responsible for the popularity in the first place.

Poor show!

I agree, but I always thought if they just dubbed better voices for Leonardo, Shredder, Kraang, Bebop and Rocksteady it would have been much better... But yeah, the noogie *beep* was irritating. Perhaps a fan cut with better dub overs could make it much better?
