Yep. It was a pretty good movie. Took itself and the source material as seriously as was warranted without going full edge and knew when to keep things light.
10/10

wish filming of comic/cartoons had this much love/talent/dedication to the source material.

It's more than nostalgia for me. It's legit good. Gets the characters right and understands the pace to tell the Turtle story right.
Sure the ending with Splinter simply getting Shredder to be a retard was somewhat lame, it doesn't destroy the film. Plus if the sequel did it right it could have taught that the Turtles need more time to learn.
Also with the new TMNT sequel failing and the producers saying that a third sequel is unlikely, maybe this means a new reboot in five yrs for suit-CGI combo version.

Literally fucking Kino
righteous synthwave
my favorite turtle show. this is why I bought all the toys. The TV show was okay, but I just liked the movies.
Legit kino.
>quality indie movies made on a shoestring budget like this are never coming back
it's not fair
I think one thing that really helps the movie is that the script is really solid. The pacing is spot on, the movie slows down at the right times and has great character moments.
Perfect example is when Casey Jones and Donatello are fixing the truck. It's a great little scene that shows them goofing around with each other and also establishes that they're getting a vehicle working for the trip back to NYC. Sure, they could've just had a throwaway line somewhere about fixing the truck, but they didn't.
that's not synthwave you fag
it's just music from the 80s
Northampton stuff is kino.
The VO overtop everything was gold. And it helps build the Turtles as more emotional and humanize them a bit better.
Just wish that a filmmaker could come along and do the same thing that the '90 film did and capture that feel
where did tomatometer go so wrong
Yes it is kino

Was Raph the angry "Wolverine" of the group in the original comic? I remember being taken aback as a kid by him being so angry, after being used to him just being the funny wiseass in the cartoon.
goat scene is where splinter tells raphael to stop internalizing his angst. its easy to forget its fucking muppets.
TMNT was too deep for film critics
