  I honestly liked that they gave to the turtles costumes that matched their personality

  When comparing to the original movie trilogy, my biggest disappointment was lack of martial arts. They were basically ninjas without ninjitsu

  “It’s Megan Fox! You’re fumbling the bag, my brother!” sent me. Also, “The white people go off to fight Bebop and Rocksteady” is incredible.

  Making Splinter a normal rat who taught himself and the turles martial arts is...certainly a choice. There is a reason other adaptation make it so Splinter used to be human.<br><br>Also, how does this make Splinter the turtles&apos; dad? They mutated at the same time, he might as well be their brother.

  The 2012 version of TMNT is definitely one of the best things Nickelodeon has put out

  I feel you&apos;re kinda underselling the success of the &apos;03 show. It was a pretty big ratings success in it&apos;s first few seasons and it was the best selling toy and general kids merchandise for two years in row. It tapered off really quickly and the cgi movie came out too late to capitalize on it but for a while it was pretty big among kids.

  The Michael Bay Ninja Turtles failed because the first film became a prime example of &quot;Clueless Hollywood changing things that didn&apos;t need to be changed&quot;, and the sequel also suffered as a result. And what&apos;s remarkable is that Paramount probably wouldn&apos;t have redesigned Sonic The Hedgehog if not only because of the fan backlash to the original Sonic design, but how the similar fan backlash to the Bay Ninja Turtles&apos; designs eventually doomed that franchise.

  The actors playing the turtles were the only thing I liked about the movies. 😂 I actually felt like they got their personalities down pretty well. And like you said, they had great chemistry, and they are the best part of the movie. If we would’ve seen MORE of the turtles through out the movie, and focused more on their relationships with each other instead of focusing too much on April, we could’ve grown more attached to them and gotten past the poor design choices. Also, it would’ve been cool to see them use more martial arts and ninja techniques, but they’re massive size made the scenes where they actually fight look weird. I don’t mind that they have some muscle, they’ve always had some muscle, but it’s their overall size that puts me off. There were a lot of missed opportunities in these movies that could’ve saved them from being as bad as they are. <br>For what they are, I actually don’t hate the movies, I found them fun and entertaining. But they’re still bad. And they just had potential to be so much better. 🤷‍♀️

  If only Imagi hadn&apos;t gone bankrupt and could&apos;ve made the intended sequels to TMNT 2007. Would&apos;ve liked to have seen their planned Gatchaman movie, too.
