  • WELL I GUESS THE CHICKENS IN THIS MOVIE R WHAT MADE IT A GOOD MOVIE CUZ CHICKENS THRIVE ON CORN

  • WELL I GUESS IT WAS THE CHICKENS IN THIS MOVIE THAT MADE IT SO GOOD CUZ CHICKENS THRIVE ON CORN

  • The only thing i didn't like about this review is he doesn't say "fuck" or "ass" once.

  • The first one brings nostalgia

  • ...I remember renting this movie. I haven't been a TMNT fane, really, and the only thing I had that was TMNT was a Gameboy game, and watched a seires on 4kids (I watched it because it reminded me of Sonic X) {Please note, I was young when that}. I really liked the movie, and I felt like I grew up with it. =,3 I want to watch the old movies.

  • @SpaghettiToaster Fuck yeah, Up kicks ass.

  • the ninja turtles are more serious and smart on the 2007 animated one.i like it better.

  • Never heard him so calm.

  • I live in the UK and I didn't even know about this movie until I saw this review. The strange thing was that everyone knew about the Transformers movie, so why did I see no trailers or ads or anything?

  • @jonjon4401 oh you mean that thing with th government deleting accounts w/ video game footage

  • i don't like CG either. It makes a movie look fake and inorganic with it's weird looking graphics and oddly shaped characters. It tries too hard to be realistic. Traditional animation looks better because it leaves everything alone and tries not to push the graphics or the pixels too much to the point where it's going to look like a try-hard piece of crap, but instead let the animation look more interesting and imaginative to kids instead of a bunch of crappy computerized graphics and pixels

  • @ninjaRGE

    Up was an awesome movie.

  • @ninjaRGE I love Traditional Animation and i love CGI too and I know what your trying to say but the CGI may look fake but if you just see deeper the CGI is improving everyday. For Example: The Adventures of Tintin Secret of the Unicorn, Tron Legacy, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3, DINOSAUR (Disney), Transformers and many others. But to be fair, i miss so much traditional animation and i hope that it will make a comeback.

  • I actually really loved this film. I'm an old-school ninja turtles fan, like you James, and that's why I fell in love with this film. I do agree with you that they should have made something more familiar to old-school ninja turtles fans, like Shredder or Dimension X or the Technodrome. Maybe it's a spin-off of the 2003 Cartoon, but I haven't seen that one. But let's hope that next year's TMNT movie is good, even though it is a revamp.

  • I can listen to only 2 people all day. AVGN and Jim Cornette. I think it must have something to do with anger and glasses.

  • In my opinion, I thought the movie was okay. I liked Karai. I hated Maxmillion Winters. I thought Casey was cool. For some reason I didn't like April. I thought Leonardo and Raphael were the sexiest with the sexiest voices. ( Though, Donatello was cute at the beginning. An I.T. Tech support...lol No spotlight for Mikey even though he did have the skateboarding sequence. Very odd storyline. Well, wasn't my fav.

  • I didn't like it, I thought it was so confusing. The beginning didn't make any sense, it just came out of nowhere. I thought that their was a previous movie or episode I missed that involved the beginning, but their wasn't. I was confused, and lil disappointed about the villain. I was looking forward to Shredder or Krang or anyone. But instead we get a throw away villain like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3. However, the animation & action was pretty cool. But it didn't save the movie for me.

  • He said it was GOOD???!?!?!?!??!!

  • Rafaell !!!

  • Any thoughts on the new one coming up? Heard it's supposed to be live action

  • I dont like how they make Raphael so mad all of the time. I know thats always been his attitude but now it seems a little annoying to me

  • The music by Klaus Badelt is really awesome, his best soundtrack since "Pirates of the Caribbean".

  • I saw this movie when it came out in theatres. And well, I thought it was an okay film. Though, the plot didn't seem all that great to me though. But overall it's not a bad film.

  • I will say this Turtles movie makes up for TMNT 3, shame there was no Shredder but they could of had Krang in it.

  • MOVIE SUCKS

  • my biggest wish for a new turtles movie: dark and gritty (like the 1990 movie) villains (the foot and the shredder only) the costumes (like the 1990 movie, only more realistic, don`t get me wrong, the costumes in that movie is awesome, it`s perfect, but i guess today, with some great work, they can do them even better. a little back story, and keep some humor in it, like the first film. NO cgi. that could be a good start for a new turtle franchise. make the movie like 2 hours.

  • too bad shreder isnt in the movie PS: He's dead. :[

    but his minions are in it!!! Know its time for them to share the spotlight. :P

  • Aww, James expressing himself ^_^

  • balance between the corny and serious Turtles.

  • As an old school, and somewhat new school, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, I really enjoyed this movie. Like James said, it was a great throwback for us old fans, and a great movie for the new fans. Sure, none of the old devices of the original Turtles cartoon or movies were really present, but they really aren't in the new series either. Also, the Turtles finally have eyes again (thank god) and atleast there wasn't a rap with Vanilla Ice (though I loved that part haha). It was a great balanc

  • the fight scene between leo and raph that was so raw and well directed, that it felt like watching a fight to the death scene in a kids movie

  • i was also dissapointed that Shredder wasn't in that movie, either D:

  • Jeez, when you talk about the 80s cartoon, your thinking of the past. It's ok with me, but I am attached to the new TMNT tv show. I guess the timeline is, The turtles defeated Shredder and the Footclan, then they went seperate ways, the Footclan comes back with a new leader and a new plan. The movie is based more on the new tv show and not the 80s. But I would like to see the other villians instead of Shredder and Baxter Stockman to name a few.

  • this movie wuz awesome, but I wanted shreder to b in this movie, or kraang, or better yet... the technodrome! Yeah. That b bad ass!

  • What I ment was in the film I think Leonardo says to Kari is' we've destroyed the Shreder why are you still here who are you working for!!!!!'' xx

  • In the film I think leonardo says to Kari just befo

  • he sounds sad?

  • @DeadlyFormer91 hes just nostalgic i think

  • the nostalgia critic had a way more honest and true opinion because he said what everyone was really thinking but the nerd just says what the fans want. and plus when a franchise is dead it should fucking stay dead

  • @Balcomics yeah ut nerd is smarter, plus nerd=geek. take the hint,

  • @Balcomics Well if you say that a this franchise should stay dead you should say the same about the transformers movies, the Thundercats show that comes on cartoon network,and as for the nerds review its his own opinion he shows it from the fans side which is TMNT's main viewing demograpic all the people that enjoyed the old shows most likely wanted to see the movie

  • Ah, this takes me back...

  • I remember that I watched this movie, and the reason I was so into watching it was because I played the game on the PS2 (Later got to try it for the Wii.) I watched the movie when it was on Cartoonnetwork, and I kind of wish I had seen it in theatres. And as for the lack of Shredder, I wouldn't worry too much, I mean, the girl who's leading the foot even hinted the possiblity of seeing old enemies, and one of the turtles sort of further hinted the possiblity of a TMNT 2 with Shredder as the foe.

  • 1:37, I finally noticed that their cereal just says cereal.

  • @ab14967 like the beer sign that says beer in steel(note don't see it)

  • @ab14967 so no copyright

  • @ab14967 I suppose they were being surreal.

  • do they put Kraang in anything?!?!

  • The only thing I wish to see would be Krang and The Shredder.

  • have do done a rewie about tmnt 1,2 or 3 and if you dont can you do it

  • @davidt1998 u can watch his TMNT III movie review on cinemassacre

  • i wish i was an old school ninja turtle fan. :[

  • what do you think about the new thundercats

  • @RecklessTruth that videos been out for a week now

  • @supergenoseth ?Isn't that about the old one?

  • @jayko657 but he does share his thoughts about the new one

  • Um I don't that there would be krang in the movie if he never existed in the 2003 series

  • @lolidays27 he did exist in the later episodes of the new series

  • 3:13 in that trophy room on the right is that thatnoranaga guy's samurai costume from the 3rd movie or a random one :S im assuming random since why/how would the y bring his samurai suit back with them

  • this movie was ass...

  • @GamingIdiot42Neo You forgot to say kicking at the end.

  • i agree shredder should have been there

  • In my opinion without Shredder the Turtles are nothing.

  • so exited for the new 2012 tmnt It feels really good it feels like the past is still with us and it hasnt past yet :)

  • the right amount of corn :3

  • @BKVisionFreePerView Plus, why the FUCK would nintendo realease a new console after only 3 YEARS?!?

  • @heyheyitsconnor

    ...its been almost 6 yrs dude

  • @lylatfox4 No, he said a Wii *3* would come out in 2015.

  • @heyheyitsconnor

    wow wtf, nintendo is not sega

  • @BKVisionFreePerView Both Sony and microsoft announced that they wouldn't reealease their next consoles until after 2015 and Sega hasn't made a console since 1999 you dumbass please quit trolling.

  • @BKVisionFreePerView I believe final fantasy 14 already came out as an online game

  • The best Ninja Turtles 'thing' is to see the original animated series' first five episodes unhindered by commercials or credits, until the very end.

  • I would not be disappointed if Turtles Forever is the last big turtles thing. I would be glad if either series came back, but Turtles Forever is a perfect good bye.....but now a new Turtles series is coming out.

  • @Ryan66772 ya in 2012 nickelodeon is releasing a new tv seris and in august 2011 a new comic book seris is coming! this just shows that the ninja turtles are as awesome now as they were before.

  • hey james its me ashton im stil beging you to make a review on the classic powr rangers i want you honest thoughts of wat u think of it.

    plz review it!

  • @YamotoCassidy : Yes, he is!! :)

  • I was excited cause this is the first TMNT movie I got to see in theaters...I had to wait for the VHS of the first 2 movies, and I don't even remember if I saw the third movie, but I loved this one and I'm a lifelong turtles fan...

  • I like CGI okay, so long as it's not abused. In an animated movie though, I accept it, because obviously the whole thing's CGI and if I'm watching it, I shouldn't expect different. It was quite a satisfying experience, and I felt it linked the 90's movies with the 2003 cartoon, of which I loved both. Same thing as James though, I wished the villains were classic ones I recognized, not some random new thing. Too much like Turtles 3 in that regard.

  • That one was okay.

  • im 15 and i wasnt even in high school when this came out. I remember going to see it with my mom. NOW IM A TEENAGE NON-mutant NINJA HUMAN!

  • @EpicPlusFail Same with me! I was 11 when i saw it and i was sooo excited. The Turtles filled my memories again back to a little 7 year old :3

  • good movie

  • the creators of this film said this was like "superman returns" in that it's a sequel to the first movie and to some extent the second movie but ignores the third... well! then what the hell IS THAT STUPID TIME TRAVELING LAMP THING DOING ON SPLINTER'S SHELF??? 2:53!!! if you notice, the samurai masks or on the right side of the screen. that's not the sort of thing i'd commemorate, more like the traumatizing thing i'm trying to suppress.

  • they all look like mr. bean though

  • what do you think of the 2010 Alice in wonderland

  • @SkittleE275

    It sucked.

  • @peeeesh not you!

  • @SkittleE275

    I simply channeled what I know he would say. That's what the world has already said.

  • @peeeesh Well I, the sister of the person who posted the last two comments on this account, disagree with whoever you happen to be channeling. I like that movie.

  • @peeeesh i say it was good

  • ...........My ass is asleep.

  • Leo and Mikey all the way.

  • TMNT 2007 shouldve have never been made what so ever. I felt it was more of an experiment to see how TMNT fancy in CGI. I mean the whole point of the film was Patrick Stewart's character revives a couple of ancient statues and Raph and Leo fight each other, thats it. I honestly have no idea what the fate will be for the upcoming TMNT, but if i see "directed by Michael Bay" its fucked.

  • This TMNT movie sucked. I loved the 90s live-action movies (well, the first two). I can't stand CG. also, the villains in this movie were, again, not any famous villians like Krang, but instead some rich guy who cant die. 

  • @MrLmevancoe And Shredder's adoptive daughter.

  • he does adopt a daughter in one of the 1987 moveis

  • i wanna see a review of the "Turtles Forever" direct-to-DVD special. :)

  • I'm actually fine with the CGI. Personally I am fine with CGI and cartoons as long as they're consistent. That's a problem in my opinion, with movies and cartoons nowadays. There are times when it's fine, like changing styles for a video game to specific points in the game to add atmosphere, like in cutscenes cause it's easier to work. But they do it in the middle of a cartoon and change to CGI and it makes things look aweful. Now they can mix CGI and live action a bit better though, so yeah.

  • The CGI ruined this movie for me, but even if it hadn't been in CGI the plot was weak, no one wants to see a turtles movie without any villains from EITHER of the cartoons. All i hope for the upcoming revamps is that it goes back to basics, no more time travel or ancient immortal businessmen. Keep it focused either on the 80s show (i'm betting that has the biggest fan-base) or on the comic. Also i'd love to see Bebop, Rocksteady, or/and Baxter

  • Krang was a character from the 80's show, not the comics. He's not gonna be in a TMNT movie.

  • This movie was meant as a sort of a spin off of the new millenium turtles by taking some of the plot points and making something off of that. This is sort of like what they do with anime movies (i.e. Bleach) where they make a movie using all major plot points relevant from past seasons not counting filler. As a turtles fan who saw the first two 90s films and the '03 show, I say that it's okay, and agian, it's more geared towards those of us who grew up with the '03 turtles; don't stress over it

  • I can't wait for the next movie

  • Future james send me here

  • hope the new movie of the Turtles that Shredder returns with Krang and the Technodrome Bebop & Rocksteady

  • This movie sucked balls. The concept was monsters, but you only see the turtles fight one of them, the rest is wrapped in a montage. And the jokes are stupid and poorly written, also there was too much love bullshit between april and casey. And the rafael - leonardo conflict is sooo annoying, we've already seen it. Michelangelo was too goofy. remember he is kind of emotional in turtles 3.. in this he is just a clown.

  • I'm more of a TMNT '03 fan and the movie was OK

  • @ShikoKuruma : You misspelled three of the turtles names. it's R-A-P-H-A-E-L, M-I-C-H-E-L-A-N-G-E-L-O (it was used to spelled Michaelangelo, but the one of the original creators( Laird) corrected it in 2003, he was involved in the 2003 series) and D-O-N-A-T-E-L-L-O

  • TMNT should replace ninja turtles 3

  • The Krang reference again. Krang was aproduct of the 1987 cartoon. He was never in the comics. How many TMNT fans really know Baxter Stockman was black?

  • @phlyersphan25 was he the fly???

  • wow dude your not as angry as you seem.

  • WHAT DOES CG MEAN? YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF BY SPELLING IT OUT. SOME PPL DON'T KNOW WHAT CG MEANS. THANK YOU SWEET PEA AND GOD BLESS YOU.

  • James, you sound kind of depressed in this review. Maybe you were tired of the requests for the TMNT review.

  • it's CGI, not cg...

  • @2caos Ahhh you fail majorly. CGI stands for Computer Generated Imagery. He said "This movie is CG" and he said "The characters are CG" So he said "This movie is computer generated" and he also said "The characters are computer generated" those sentences make sense. Also CG is short for CGI. So please, next time you claim someone is wrong, make sure your not the one actually wrong.

  • did you know if you watch a dreamworks movie (it works with shrek) with the lights off, it looks real

  • Why they didnt called movie tmnt4 ?

  • i can remember almost anything except the turtles names and my favorite turtle was raph because of his knives or whatever. I called Raph "the red turtle" LOL. I didnt know the names of the turtles so that's why i called raph "the red turtle". weird,it seems that i can only remember almost anything except their names

  • @6425gorda sais it's what they're called.

  • i only saw 10  mnts of the movie.. it suks i guess.

  • The movie fell short on some points for me, but definitely made up for that crappy Ninja Turtles 3 movie. Best scene and biggest reason to see the movie: Leo vs. Raph. That battle was a loooooong time coming. B-)

  • CGI is good for completely animated movies and movies like Transformers have incredible CG

  • New TMNT will be a gamble. cause the 2003 TMNT they made sucked towards the latter half. you actually thought the cg was so good that you forgot it was cg. lol no cg movie can do that. if avataar couldn't pull it off no other movie could do it.

  • the girl with the foot ninja is Shreder's daughter THAT'S RIGHT, SREDER HAD A DAUGHTER NO KIDDING

  • @keybladeaprentice Actually, Karai is his adopted daughter.

  • @ilikethecoke I never said she was his blood daughter

  • @keybladeaprentice my bad

  • @ilikethecoke meh no problem u misunderstood me I probably should have mentioned that

  • @keybladeaprentice Well that girl looked like the same Karai from one of the cartoons and in it, she was adopted and Shredder seemed to be a strange hybrid between himself and Krang. It was really messed up. Anyway, the appearances of the characters and the style told me it might have been continuing off of that or some strange hybrid child of different sources.

  • @LaoGahn I'm well aware about Utrom Shredder I have seen all but the last 2 seasons. By my guess this is based off of the 2003 series

  • In the movie shredder is dead.

  • Ok, a reply to TheDarklordganon...PWAHAHAHAHA­!!! That IS retarded! What the shell? (sry, had ta say it)

  • hey james any thoughts on the TMNT 2003 series?

  • @Thapokefreak Pretty sure about this. I know Warner Brothers wanted something that hasn't been done before. And they never give us a back story on Karai, Leonardo doesn't even know who she is, just that she's Foot as he says they're "getting off on the wrong foot" as in their first meeting. We also never learn which Karai this is... daughter (2003 series) or replacement (Mirage comics) for the Shredder. Would of been interesting to see a sequel... but next movie is a reboot.

  • @Thapokefreak This movie had nothing to do with the 2003 TMNT series. So no, it is not 'based' on it at all. New designs, new voices, and deff new character twists. I watched both series, enjoyed both of them very much. But never even connected this movie to it. Esp since at the end there's the display hall. I did my own review of my thoughts about the movie on the channel... it was a like and hate thing.

  • i like how he reviews games and moveis

  • i just wish that story wasn't so uninspiriring.

  • When I went to the theater people just get up and leave... it was pretty funny to see who was the next person to leave...

  • The CG however is great and so is the action, but it's not enough. The plot, while complex, seemed a little too complex for a Turtles movie. They barely give any info on Karai and I had to look up who Karai really was. For the 1st half it didnt feel like I was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were just Teenage Mutant Turtles, doing anything but the ninja stuff they should be doing. All this time they could have saved lives and fought crime This movie was meh. Better than part 3 though

  • @Yabuturtle Yeah, they didn't throw Karai into this movie right at all. And we don't even know which version of Karai she is. If she's the daughter like the 4Kids series, or the Ninja warrior coming to replace the Shredder like in the Mirage comics. She's a mystery really. People who watch the 2003 series would know who she is, but not every fan watches that and even less fans out there know about the comic book version of her. So tossing her in and not using Tatsu was a mistake.

  • They never really explained why they can't fight evil. Just "until they stop fighting and are a team again" Ok what happened? IF this is connected to the other movies, they did just fine as a team defeating Shredder, Raph and Leo are the only ones that argued. Why Central American anyway, that he has to train to be a better leader

    Leo was unlikable since he didn't like the Nightwatcher, even though Nightwatcher is really no different then him or Casey Jones. Them getting jobs was unnecessary.

  • Transcribe Audio made you seem gay as fuck in the last 45 seconds...

  • There is another Ninja Turtles movie scheduled for 2012. The turtles will be CGI again, but they will be interacting with live, human actors in real sets. The script is also going to resemble the original Mirage Comics more than the 1987 TV show or the three films from the 1990s.

  • at 0:34 i think (spoiler) raphael looks like an odst from halo

  • I liked Karai in this movie-she was awesome.

  • does anyone else think he sounds stoned in this? i think he sounds stoned.

  • Does anyone else think he sound stoned in this?

  • @GIRAFFEJO okay,that's your opinion

  • This movie was good up to a point. I loved the conflict between Raph and Leo, but I hated the fact that I never felt like anyone was in any real danger; there was no peril.

  • I like turtles.

  • I thought the movie was pretty cool.

  • Yes i know but i didn't know his name so for me he was just the avgn dude =)

  • I wish the humans didn't look so... Twiggy

  • My 1st video of AVGN without " fuck" "shit " ass" or other words like this....

    Yes, i'm surprised, because i'm an old TMNT fan and i didn't watched this movie, so, if the angry video game nerd is not angry it's probably because this movie should be watched after all.

    Thanks for your thoughts dude !

  • @ChocoboGrinder This isn't a AVGN video he's reviewing a movie it's actually seperate so he's not talking as the nerd he's talking as James.

  • can someone please tell me what cg means???

  • @flameguy7777 C= Computer G= Graphics

  • @Conscript626 Isn't it computer generated... "cgi" computer generated images (imagery)

  • @flameguy7777 wow you dont know what CG means at this day and age?? what are u, 12?

  • @heyjeySigma hey well im not a computer nerd like you so shut the fuck up you asshole

  • @flameguy7777 almost everyone should know at LEAST what CG stands for.. you dont even need to be computer savvy or anything. you're just living under a rock and dont realize it

  • @heyjeySigma well i dont look up all these abbreviations or learn them cause i dont really use them at all

  • @heyjeySigma

    So, ppl who don't know what CG is has been living under a rock? Oh please....what about old people..that are like...over 79 years old?

  • @compsciguy hmm so a 79 yr old or older, browsing the web... chilling out on youtube.. and not knowing what CG is... doesnt that scenario seem a bit odd on many levels to you?

  • Shit movie

  • This is one of the FEW cg movies that are good.

    I liked the old animation better it was good.

    Im only 12 but i have seen the old animation and one of the other movies.

    To bad they stopped sending it here in Norway.

    It was the best on TV.

    After pokemon season 1.

    But i think you know what i mean.

    I wish they would send more movies and series like TMNT(old school) on TV

    and at the movies.

  • wow, He gave a pretty good review on this one.

  • TMNT 2 TSOTO is a good chance to get a look at both the guy that played Irenicus and an early appearance for kevin nash aka diesel

  • Comment removed

  • @TheDarklordganon and they say our government is bad... well government is bad period.

  • @TheDarklordganon i remember that, i remember watching hero turtles as a kid, then when i saw TMNT advertised i thought they got the titles wrong

  • @TheDarklordganon LOL. Wow, that is retarded. So it's okay if they DO ninja, just don't call it that!?

  • @TheDarklordganon well i live in england and correct me if im wrong, but when i was little is WAS called teenage ninja mutant turtles. just like the US

  • @jaccob112

    it was changed... lot back in the comments, theres replies to my comment from other English people saying that they remember it happening.

  • @TheDarklordganon woah....thank god im an american, 4realz yo highfive guys.. .cmon gang!......no.......oh...well FUCK U GUYZ Then

  • @TheDarklordganon I'm in the UK

    and i don't see the name changed.. anywhere

    evern the tv show (witch i can still find on tv) is still called tmnt...
