I saw the older ones like when they take a trip back to feudal Japan. Pretty good but very campy.

I remember watching saturday cartoons with them and shredder. I thought he was so cool. Good times.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

The shredder is awesome in the 1st film.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

Absolutely.

If this new movie is PG-rated, I'll take my younger brother to see it. He's a big fan of the Turtles.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

Its a shame they don't make the new movie like they did the old ones. They had a more realistic feel to them. This CGI crud is a big turnoff for me.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

I agree.:(

Ugh. I was hoping that fad had died a long time ago. Last thing I was expecting was an advertisement for another movie about those damned green gits! Are kids today so desperate that they'll turn to 80s/early 90s fads for entertainment? One generation already suffered through them, and look what happened to us! Don't do it to another one!

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

By the trailers, this looks to be a good film :) - I'll be seeing it regardless.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
 

ehh it got around 2 stars according to meta critic. I wont be seeing it anytime soon.

Well look at what they have in this day in era, converted anime after converted anime, and then anime-ized american cartoons like teen titans or the new batman series. There are several series based around sports that children play, but using monsters to fight and ending up with the game getting bigger than them; Pokemon, Cardcaptors, Yugioh, Duelmasters, Digimon (close enough), Bayblade, Foodons etc. etc. and their plots essentialy revolve around a group of kids who find the special "good" monsters with "peronalities" out of the bunch and are then confronted by evil corporations looking to use the game to take over the world, or alternatively demonic forces in the games themselves. Each features the following characters; the not so bright protagonist kid that screws up alot, but never gets seriously hurt nor do they ever loose anything that is truly important (with rare, two parter exceptions), a girl that is girly and yet still intelligent and strong inside while being utter bitches towards guys when they screw up, and a tough guy who's the stupidest of the whole bunch, but has heart. Add the point dexter, or the later converted drama queen, or some other random cliche, and you have the bases of 90% of cartoon programming over the last half decade.

I can still go back and enjoy some of the cartoons of the 80s, like Transformers (mostly the movie, which is to this day is my favorite animated film :D ), Speed Racer (it's Anime, it's stupid, but hey it had a car that didn't come from a phone/card/ball/other small device that shoots out wind and light to form and capture "monsters), or Voltron (again anime, extremely cliche, but not once did I see it revolve around a little league sport), and many other feature films. During the 90s I watched Batman & Superman, some of greatest comic-to-screen translations I've ever seen, not to mention Spiderman, X-Men (though it freaked me out now and again, but then again so did the comics, damn it got wierd), or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a title so long they abreviate it in speech, in the trailer, for the film).

I don't put much stock in nostalgia, but I really do despise kids TV these days, Bill Nye replaced by Zoom, replaced by Teletubies? I weep to see teens today, I can't begin to think of the asinine developements of the next.
