I feel like this movie is going to become the cinematic equivalent of Sharknado.

I watched the first one on netflix. It was actually pretty fun. I'll see this though when it hits netflix as well.

Decent trailer. The first one failed because it was trying to be dark and gritty. This one is just "**** it. This is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and we will embrace that". Good tone to set.

I didn't like the first one (Shredder was crap), but this one looks fantastic, very enjoyable.

I only remember watching the TMNT 2003 TV series when I was a kid. And that opening theme (in Polish!):
I learnt it by heart and then sang it along all the time. And I also had a TMNT game on my Pegasus:
Oh sweet nostalgia.

I like how the NES version of Tournament Fighters has the title at the bottom of the screen, rather much like all their other games too tbh... just in case you forget what you're playing

Ninja Turtles WERE my childhood. I still haven't seen the first one. I was really pumped when they announced it but after footage leaked and then the trailer I didn't want to go see it. I'm sorry the late 80s early 90s live action turtle movies were just as good as they get. I'm just going have to live with that. Those movies ruined these movies for me. You can spend as much money as you want on all these stupid effects but it will never amount to the spirit they captured in the 80s/90s movies.

I'm so in! Bebop, Rocksteady, and the turtle van on the big screen, most fans of the 90's cartoon have to at least be interested. Personally nothing will replace the original motion picture but attempting to remake a franchise doesn't hurt. Even if this film is worse than the most recent remake, I still have the 1990 version.
