The first Transformers was good, I thought. The second one stunk.

I am actually looking forward to this. As long as it follows the same path as the first one, instead of the last two, it should be good.

I loved them as kids but let's not pretend the original live action movies were good. I made a funny.

The first one still stands up pretty well for a 20 year old childrens movie.

Unfortunately, the "children" movie is what most people here will take issue with based on the Transformers thread.

There will be a sizable number of users here expecting a gritty detective crime drama.

I just watched the whole thing on youtube. I didn't even know this thing existed. You weren't kidding, it WAS awesome.

Hah, that's how I saw it too. I never heard about it when it was airing last fall (probably because I don't have kids so I'm not subjected to cartoons) and have been waiting for Nick to announce a DVD release.

Anyone hoping for a violent, "mature" themed TMNT movie is just setting themselves up for disappointment. The turtles were mostly a failure in that role, it wasn't until they were adapted for TV and a kid's audience that the phenomenon really began. Any movie that doesn't cater to that audience would never be signed off on by a production company. The new one hopefully won't be as slapstick as the second and third films and if its as good as the first I'll be content. The CG film from a few years ago wasn't bad either, though it wasn't really good.

The TMNT that aired on FoxKids about 2-3 years ago was amazing, one of the best animated series i have seen. It was dark and had content enough to entertain a range of youth. The last movie that came out in 07 was just silly. It had its moments, but was plagued by trying to be too "cute." However the scene with Rap fighting Leo made the movie alright.

For this one, i'm really hoping if they decide to follow the show, the're going to go for the one on FoxKids 2 years ago, if not then please keep the same mood and atmosphere of the original one.

That's going to strike home with us TMNT fans of the 80s-90s.

Not surprising.

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise

I don't think this series will ever return to it's glory from the first 2 movies. Those were gold.

Unfortunate. This is still my favorite cartoon ever. Wish someone would do it justice. Don't even know if I want to see it now after the whole alien thing.
