New TMNT movie (the Batman connection) « Thread Started on Mar 25, 2007, 5:01pm »
Hey! I can't believe with all us geeks on here there is NO thread about the new TMNT 3D movie.
Holly and I took the kids to it on Saturday...it was beyond wicked. Really was.
The great thing..and if you've seen the movie you should already have caught this, is that our friends Jeff Matsuda and Jose Lopez did MAD design work on these characters. They're basically 3D 'Matsuda-style' TMNT. Of course Lopez did his usual amazing work as well! I don't want to overshadow his contributions. AND our good friend Thomas Perkins III (the batman, ben10) designed all the monsters that get loose in the film...which are AMAZING
I HIGHLY recommend seeing this film..it was extremely well done.

I saw it yesterday with my boys, 7 and 5 yo. They loved it! We had to rush out and get Raph and Leo action figs. I was rather impressed. Definately exceeded expectations.

My brother went to see it and said he thought it was really good, and was suprised. He told me that I should take Nathan and go see it, but its hard to get out to the movies with the twins. Ive only read good reviews on it, which to be honest kinda shocked me, they have all said it will please fans of the original comics, the cartoon, and attract new fans.

Yeah I completely agree with that Shadowbat...its got a lot of old comic elements...a good bit of violence, without being tasteless...and without being too campy. Its a perfect blend.

I liked it quite a bit-I'm a TMNT fan from the early Mirage comics days. I'd rate this movie right up there with the first live-action Turtles flick. Very close to the comics. On a Batman note,apparently this WB flick was cut quite a bit before release. Several scenes of characters bleeding or even saying the word blood were cut and the fight scenes were cut to make them less violent....sounds like Revenge of the Joker all over again. Hopefully we'll get a special PG-13 Directors Cut DVD of the new TMNT one of these days....

This Clayface sequel is even bigger and badder than the original

i saw thisfilm yesterday, and it was absolutely amazing. kevin michael richardson does do a voice or two for it as well as john dimagiio and jim cummings. another thing unrelated to the casting was that when i went to see the film i was the only one in the whole screen room, i kind of felt like a VIP. the ending was great and gave a little hinting at what will happen in the next film which i'm hoping will be made

I don't want to disappoint...cause I don't know for certain..but I believe this is set between the first two films..so they're hinting at what is to happen in 'secret of the ooze'

Actually,this is set after the third film-at the end you can see relics from the first 3 films in Splinters trophy case. The producer has hinted that if they do a sequel it will most likely be rated PG-13 and be based on the CIty at War storyline from the original comics....although they also covered that storyline in the recent FOX cartoon,so who knows if they'd be willing to do it again.
