So, the new Turtles film is almost here. It has Sarah Michelle Geller, Patrick Stewart and Kevin Smith (cameo) providing voices and it promises to take the story and feel back to the original Black and White cult comics, before the franchise got kidified and turned into a cartoon.
Despite having to cut the film back a little for the PG rating, it is still supposed to be harder edged than the live-action movies, and judging by the still shots it looks like they've gone for dark colours, almost to Black and White extremes in some shots.
The main producer is a big TMNT fan anyway, having read from Issue 1 and sought the blessing of Eastman and Laird before attempting a new Turtles movie. With April, Casey and more of the original cast taken back to their roots. It all bodes well for the film from a fan's point of view.
As an old time Turtles fan, I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

I saw it. It was OK. Not overly good, not overly bad. 6/10.
I'll watch it, if only to see how near they come to the original idea. Hopefully, very...

you brim over with wrongness!
i saw the movie yesterday and thought it was really cool!
granted i`m not only a turtles fan but also always keen to watch new animated films and steal ideas so i`m a little biased ;)
the stylisation is a liiiiiittle bit disney, but still very good, the animation is VERY nice and the way it`s choice of shots/edits makes the whole thing feel very slick.
if you`re a turtles fan then i`ll recommend it... if you`re not but there`s nothing else you really want to see and you`ve got a night free, i`d still recommend it.

Heh, I thought this was a joke until I watched the trailer. Looks pretty good though, will give it a watch. Don't think I'll pay to see it at the cinema though, doesn't have that much appeal for me.
I thought the live action ones were pap to be honest, even as a kid and a manic turtles fan ...
