"OOPS"
date: December 13, 2003
I posted my review on the game instead of this movie site on accident! STUPID ME! Ergo, I'm righting my wrong and posting it here, in its rightful place. --
Its nice to see a more serious take on a ... admittably ... stupid plot. Mutated ninja fighting turtles eating pizza. It screaaams 80s.
However, the "adult" turtle rendition is a lot more interesting! I didn't see a slice of pizza in sight, the direction was good, the voice cast equally fitting (down to Mikey's California surfer accent, though I thought it would have been more interesting if it was toned down now that he is an adult -- that surfer thing still screams 80s), and most noticeably the actual use of the peircing weaponry, with blood included, along with a nice cuss word every now and then.
Although confusing throughout, with an vaguness to how some things pertain to the story (like Raph having his sais, and Don thinking he didn't), it's still an excellent first episode worthy of high vote. I only wish the animation was better, and maybe the microphones improved.
Cynically yours,
