If it was up to me to work on TMNT, I’d take the animation of Mutant Mayhem with the art direction, character designs and music of 2007. The perfect mishmash. I do mess with MM’s soundtrack since it’s capturing the 90s era of the Turtles, but I’m preferably more for that 2000s era.

12:35 Sure, let's ignore that Leonardo wants them to recover the ability to work as a team before going back to fighting while Raphael selfishly decides that he knows better than even Splinter (who actually ordered Leo to not fight until they were all a team again) and goes to fight crime not to help people, but just for his ego. Sure, ignore the actual reason they have conflict in the movie. Sure they are being idiots and there was no real need in the movie to have a conflict among the turtles, but it's kind of stupid to bitch about a lack of explanation when you have completely ignored the explanation. Also, everyone always gives Leo crap for being a bad leader... has anyone noticed he's always right? At the end of the day, whenever he makes a choice the others don't like, it turns out that he was right all along.

[@sophiawilkins613]

You are unnecessarily salty.

[@NeroCM]

@@sophiawilkins613 It's a "sin" most old boy shows commit: the lesson they want to teach through a character is lost because what you actually see contradicts it. In TMNT Leonardo is described as being arrogant, prideful and thinking he's always right and it's seen as a negative. But what you actually see in the show is that he IS always right (or 90% of the time anyway). Similarly, Rafaello is shown being all impulsive and quick-tempered and passionate, and is usually shown as the "victim" to Leonardo's decisions... except Rafaello gets into trouble without accomplishing anything most of the time. And this contradiction between "show" and "tell" drives me up walls.

Seriously, using April as a metric for the average woman (in the show) that would mean his shoulders are roughly 4-5 times as broad as hers, meaning his shoulders are roughly 8 feet wide.

Justyn Matthew Casey I think his problem was that they’re developing characters in a way that’s not natural or doesn’t fit in with the turtles identity.

Critic says he grew up with the series, and yet he had no idea who Karai, one of the coolest characters of the turtle franchise, was.

I agree that they didn't explain the plot point and why Leo was gone for so long very well, but I still liked this movie.

TMNT, honestly, isn't that bad. It has great voice cast and animation, but suffers from feeling more like an unused plot from the 2003 series (and it doesn't help that the voice acting, while not at all the same voices, sound quite similar), being confused on whether it wanted to be a sequel to the original trilogy or a standalone universe (despite Turtles Forever confirming it IS a standalone universe), and making Leonardo a dick. It's also interesting NC says that parts of this movie feel like a video game, because ironically enough, director Kevin Monroe is directing the Ratchet and Clank movie that's coming out as well as the Sly Cooper movie.

Mohd Amerul Aidil I don’t think it’s a reboot of any kind. The movie takes place after the shredder is defeated, I actually found that out in the video game based on the movie.

Latvian Dragon I think there was an animated tv show, and that’s what the movie takes after. I never watched the show though.

Latvian Dragon Well I don’t know. What’s the point of the movie then? You’d think it would just take place WAY after the animated set or something.

So let me get this straight, the turtles are: Leonardo Raphael Donatello and Ratchet

[@seanchukwuezi3079]

Two ratchets and deadpool 😅

[@anomalocaris2593]

I actually kinda liked the idea of seeing the turtles all grown up dealing with adulthood. But I can't make a comparison since I've only seen the animated ones (PS. 2012 is the greatest one yet)

[@anomalocaris2593]

Ben Greene Which part?

[@anomalocaris2593]

+Ben Greene there is only 3 of them. 80 was too goofy and 03 tried way too hard to be serious and hip after season 3.

NC: is anyone gonna actually follow this plot? Me: wow, well, I could've sworn that child me was obsessed with the movie. And could follow the plot perfectly fine. But whatever, I was just a kid. Even though I still love and can still follow it all just fine, but I'm just a teen so.....

[@captainvader921]

That's exactly what I'm saying. I loved this movie as a kid. I followed the plot fine (though maybe that's because I've seen it a million times)

[@tmntgirl4life]

6:40 I learned later this movie was more based off the original source material of the TMNT (which was a black and white 80s comics) and they were VERY BROODY. So it was always a huge surprise when we had a light hearted moment.

[@pharaohyami5000]

Man, I still wish to see him vlog the 4kid's TMNT series.

[@pharaohyami5000]

Yep. People like to call it 2K3 series. my favorite TMNT series, regardless of... questionable decisions from the later seasons

[@pharaohyami5000]

Yes. In addition, Shredder's theme music is chilling. I think they overplayed that yelling effect in most times (maybe everytime) his name is mentioned, seen or cameo in.

[@DigiRangerScott]

Hell the current series is wonderful

[@TheGamingTurret]

***** I kinda want him to watch the Nickelodeon one.... It's actually more....decent than I expected...

[@Xehanort10]

The overreaction to NC making fun of Splinter's voice in this review was really stupid IMO. He didn't even know who Mako was at the time so him saying Splinter sounded like a heavy smoker was just a joke. How was he supposed to know that smoking killed Mako? But I guess the overly sensitive Mako fanboys didn't think about that.

[@CruelestChris]

Xehanort10 Let's face it, it was just because it was the voice actor from Avatar, I doubt anyone would have cared if Mako hadn't been Iroh.

[@Xehanort10]

7:49 Dude, you don't know who Karai is?! Wasn't she in all the versions of Ninja turtles? If you don't like this you probably would have hated the 2003 show.

[@atiqahdiyana5665]

the 2k3 wasn't as well known as the previous versions. and karai only became an important character in that version. plus a rare few actually read the tmnt comics and it's broody angsty setting when it first came out. the first cartoon series (the quirky one) is the one that made it rise to fame. talk of honour, bushido and the development of the brooding and darker side of the characters were never really opened up till the 2k3 version.

[@atiqahdiyana5665]

kyotheman69 actually she did exist in the first version of tmnt but only for one episode with a connection with Leo but that's it. Her character was enhanced and made a real antagonist in the 2k3 version and developed further in the latest one with her being splinter's daughter

[@lameme32]

Long ago in a distant movie... I, Mako, the shape shifting master of acting unleashed an unspeakably good performance. But a foolish Nostalgia Critic stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I opened a portal into the internet where fanboys came to my defense! And plunged the critic into the future that is Mako!

[@sebastianemond5313]

10:32 Well, that's what they worked into the 2003 and 2012 cartoon show, so yeah.

[@Bibliosection]

18:34 And thus begins Doug's long history in comedic commercials

[@ThatBabzilla]

This movie is supposed to the follow the 2k3 series when it ended in 2k7. The last season, Back to the Sewer, ended on the 13th episode, with April and Casey getting married, which is why they are sharing an apartment. Karai, Shredder's "daughter" takes over the Foot Clan in the show, hence why she is seen leading the clan in this movie. As for Karai's line that the turtles would see familiar faces, in 2k9 before Mirage sold the license to the TMNT to Nickelodeon, they made a final movie titled Turtles Forever, which has the 2k3 turtles meeting the 90's turtles, and they all travel to "Turtle Prime" which end up being the "original dimension" to when the turtles first appear, i.e. the 1984 comic book. Prolly more than you wanted to know, but now you know.

[@ThatBabzilla]

***** Clearly you're more observant than I am! I had not noticed the Time Scepter, nor the canister. I also did not pay attention to the outfits the foot clan wore, at least, not closely. I saw the red dragon foot symbol and assumed it was following the 2k3 series! Well spotted!

I’m really glad the 2kX thing has generally stopped being a thing, that was painful to read.

[@frankcortes6852]

He did in the Doug’s review and he liked it, but he says that the movie ended up being too XMEN at the end. I agree with him 👍

[@ThomasGilbert-j7u]

I think Lawrence Fishburne might be the excellent choice to play The Beyonder from Marvel's Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur.

[@richardzenteno7548]

Tmnt 2007 is the first animated movie based on the 2003 series and let you know the lady who lead the foot clean is Karia the Shredder Daughter and at the ending The Foot Clean Leader mean that ......... THE SHREDDER IS ALIVE! Thanks Nostalgic Critic for review:-)

[@dyllinclark9183]

I like this movie but it seems like a season finale to a tv show that was never made. Also that would be an awsome show.

[@etgohome1343]

Holy shit, it's Iroh!

[@wingless_gargoyle]

Oh, I loved this piece of film when I was a teenage. Maybe because I knew most of the lore details. This seriousness and conflicts between brothers were the exact things I LOVE about TMNT 00s series. So I still watch the film of 2007 (and play the game based on it) with great pleasure.

Who thought of Ghostbusters2 during the scenes with the jobs

[@trentonpowers5124]

Me

[@intheclear3492]

I thought of Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

[@taylormansonshadicstorm9008]

Here’s something interesting to note. This film is set in the same universe as the live action movie trilogy from the 90s. In the scene where Splinter places Yaotl’s helmet and Raph’s Nightwatcher helmet on that shelf, you can also see Shredder’s helmet from the first movie, the TGRI Ooze Canister from Secret of the Ooze, and the Time Scepter from the third movie.

[@themadmonk6700]

Leo does actually have a time of self discovery, he looses his nerve after nearly being killed by Shredder. It causes a major rift between him and Rafael. I think the joke about none of the turtles recognizing Raph is how they are turtles and they don't notice the odd body frame. As far as the familiar faces line by the Foot, they do resurrect the Shredder, in the comic. Which is dark and horrifying because that was the comic.
