I'm not sure how I feel about this. I might see it on FX or something later on, but I doubt I'll see it in theaters. Much like seeing Transformers 4.
Now I was never a TMNT fan. I saw the old 80's cartoon reruns during the mid-90's, didn't like it. I was way more into MMPR, but when both shows had movies made and shown in theaters I honestly loved the TMNT movie MUCH better than the MMPR movie. I still stand by that today.
I also did see the live-action series, ironically crossed over with Power Rangers In Space, and really disliked it. Then came the 2003 series, wasn't a big fan but it had its moments. However, it lasted a long time and I fell in and out of most of it. So I can't say I was a huge fan of that.
I really never liked the Turtles all that much, with 2 exceptions. One, the 90's live action movie (the first one ONLY) and two, the new 2012 series. I love that new show! So maybe this new movie won't be too bad, but given how my last theatrical experience with Michael Bay went over I won't hold out too much hope.
Seriously though, the new show is awesome. The animation is great mixing CG style with a little anime and comic book framing and backgrounds. Yes I'm aware that much of the writing staff also worked on Teen Titans years ago, which explains a lot of why this show pulls me into it. Heck they even have Beast Boy as Mikey! Greg something? The characters are all awesome, so well written and designed. Master Splinter has never looked better or had such a compelling backstory! And Rob Paulsen as Donnie, steals the show sometimes!
I'll eventually see this movie...
That TMNT live action movie was great!
