  I think it would be better if we waited for these discussion posts to hit just as the movie releases. By the time it comes out this post will be over a week old.

  Maybe if it’s something really big we could have prerelease discussion and then the released discussion.

    🙇‍♂️

    Right then, how about posting 24 hours before the movie premiere? How’s that? Some people get really geeked about certain movies (or sewer-dwelling talking turtles and sensei rats, for that matter). Or do more than five people want it the day of the premiere? Let me know! We’re still in trial phase here with the pinned Discussion Megapost thang.

      I think for all movies the main discussion threads should open morning of release or maybe the day before.

      For the super hot movies it would be good to do prerelease thread (1 week ahead), regular discussion (day of), and a post release thread (1-2 week after release).

      Also, wanted to be sure I wasn’t being shitty with my comment. This is a great format and I’m loving that we’re getting good discussions like this going.

      I think another cool idea would be to do a throw back Thursday thing where a thread is opened on old movies. They could be left open forever to recreate the old IMDb forum days.

      I’d probably say on the release day at minimum, a lot of people have ‘hide read posts’ on and will never see this again.

  Just seen this really really enjoyed it.

  Some human designs were a bit strange but I can see what they were going for.

  Sound design beyond licensed music was astounding. Didn’t realise that it was Trent Reznor till the credits which makes complete sense.

  Loved the sketchy artstyle and the look it gave in motion especially during the action sequences.

  I was never that much of a turtles fan growing up but this made me appreciate it. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the sequel.

    Would you say the character design is more faithful to the original Kevin Eastman comic book art?

      I’m not a comic guy so I’m unreliable, but there are moments that to me that felt reminiscent of that artstyle (there’s a few style changes throughout). I think the artstyle in general is trying to emulate that sort of rough sketchy artstyle the comics had but giving it that colourful makeover that people mostly know the turtles for from the cartoons. A nice middle ground that makes itself look rather unique in its execution.

      The standard design of the turtles themselves feels like a unique take on them, trying to make them actually look and feel like teenaged turtles. I think it works really well.

  I recently saw the new TMNT movie and I have to say I really liked it a lot. I didn’t grow up with the TMNT, so it’s hard for me to say how accurate it is to the originals, but I thought the animation was phenomenal and the story itself was very solid too.

  I’ve seen a lot of people praising the animation, so I’m not going to include too much detail on why I liked it (to avoid retreading too much ground), but I really liked how grounded and relatable everyone’s motivations were. Wanting to fit in and be a part of a community is such a quintessential human experience; and lashing out from fear of rejection is extremely relatable as well.

  The humor seems aimed pretty solidly at millennials (based on the references made throughout the movie), and I was surprised how adult this kids’ movie was.

  Overall, I greatly enjoyed this movie; and after Barbenheimer last week, it’s been a good week for movies for me

    Since this seemed more adult to you, would you say it’s inappropriate for a 6yo?

      I think it should be OK. The movie was rated PG, though it feels like it rides the line with PG-13 a little. I saw the movie almost a week ago so I don’t remember exactly what made me think that at the time, but I was a little surprised by some of the musical cues (though my understanding is some of them are in the trailers). When I said it was adult, I just meant that it didn’t talk down to the audience in a way that would annoy adults

      I personally didn’t find any of it particularly objectionable, but I might not be the right person to ask. This website seems to think 11+, but this is the first time I’ve looked at the site so I’m not sure how accurate their rating system is.

  I’m not a fan of the Turtles but I do like them. I went to see this because my youngest had obviously got wind of it on YouTube and something about it grabbed him.

  For a bit of perspective, I enjoyed the 90s cartoon, the first live action film (I love the animatronics) and the CGI film TMNT.

  Mutant Mayhem was a brilliant film, even if your not a die hard fan. I love the colourful art style as well which was so fresh and different from anything else. It’s probably going to be a 4K release for me, that art needs to be appreciated.

  The story went in a direction I wasn’t expecting and I loved Jackie Chan as Splinter. His fight scene involving an office chair was very Chan in style.

  Of course there’s a mid credit tease and considering they were a character I was expecting to see all through the film, I hope we get a sequel.

  I really enjoyed it, the random pop culture references didn’t really feel natural to me, but you could say it makes sense in the context of the characters. Definitely excited to see where the sequel goes.
