Despite being raised on TMNT I will watch this with an open mind unplagued by bias. After seeing it I will then post my thoughts. Yes.

If this movie comes out, I just hope they act more like ninjas than fucking cartoon characters. I want BLOOD!!!! Fuck the little brats and the current generation TMNT. Make it for the older fans who remember the good ol' days. Those turtles better use their weapons for slicing limbs, organs, and pizza.

And for god's sake, don't add this joke!

You see, I'd rather have a childish, immature, campy TMNT movie than a gritty, realistic tragic TMNT movie; in that sense I guess I'm asking for the opposite of what most of you want.

You're right, you are asking for the complete opposite.

And I'd like an explanation why you want some cheezy-ass movie, while we're at it. Did you not see TMNT1?

You remind me of this. And I don't mean that in a good way. ;)

I mean, I want it dark too, but not like that. I'm talking first-movie dark. Gritty and real, but still with some fucking heart and light moments.

And I could be wrong here, but wasn't the pizza-eating an invention of the first cartoon?

I saw it and I liked it. I just liked the first two seasons of TMNT, complete with their ridiculous campy humor, better. To me the Turtles have always been more about outrageous comedy than epic, tragic storylines or gritty street battles. But that's because I grew up on the original TV show and not the movies.

BTW, it has been confirmed that April O'Neill, Splinter and Casey Jones will be in this movie. Intriguingly, Shredder has not been confirmed just yet, and it seems like there will be at least one other central villain in the storyline. (Some guy named Max Winters.)

Really, all I want in a TMNT movie?

I want them to actually be god-damn ninja.

None of this "Here's a flashy fight scene with swords, and now, look! They hopped across rooftops! They're totally ninja!" crap
