Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I ordered TMNT from my cable's On Demand service a few hours ago and I honestly liked it after months of "Why did they bother?" This is coming from a child of the '80s and '90s who was into everything TMNT except the Eastman/Laird comics which I have never read, mind you.

I felt like the movie was more about the conflict between the Turtles as brothers and as a team, and especially about Leonardo and Raphael, and I liked that a lot. The dialogue was never insulting and didn't bombard me with one-liners, nor was it too over-the-top for me. The animation fits for the movie it is, and I'm sure their fighting walking statues and all that is so the kids can see some fight scenes and action. Also, Raphael's Night Watcher costume was extraordinarily cool. This one surpasses at least TMNT2: The Secret of the Ooze and probably the third one, which I have never seen but commercials and the Angry Videogame Nerd's video on it made it look astronomically stupid.

Off-topic: TMNT made me wonder how WB will handle ThunderCats. I loved it when I was four years old, but became a joke to me having watched the entire series during its Toonami run and seeing the sets sell for like $65-$70 apiece.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
