Um, I fucking love this movie.
I am not really a huge TMNT fan. I mean, of course the franchise is a lot of fun and I'm glad it exists, but none of their shows and slash or movies have ever really grabbed me in such a way that my brain goes, This is it, I'm obsessed, this story was written for me! the way I do with other franchises like X-Men or Power Rangers or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
However. I did at least check to see if people liked this movie, and read some pretty good things! But that was a while ago, and I never actually watched it myself until a week or two ago. Then again a few days ago to make sure I paid attention to everything. And then yesterday I really wanted to watch it again, but thought I wouldn't be able to because we lost Internet due to weather . . . but then double-checked my Netflix downloads, and there it was!
But then I fell asleep before I could finish watching. Heh.
Anyway, like I said before, I fucking love this movie! I love the art style, the story, the many colorful characters, the believable banter between the brothers, the jokes, and pretty much everything about it. I will of course watch the inevitable sequel, but right now I'm having a very nice time watching this one over and over and over. It does make me want some toys, and I might want to download the first season of one of their more recent animated series. Eventually I really want to watch it again and take notes, but tonight I think I just need to watch it and enjoy, so that's what I'm gonna do.
(But before pushing play, I will go ahead and start downloading that animated series . . .)
EDIT: OH MY HECKING WHAT THE WHAT, this movie has an animated series! The hypothetical other one I was thinking about can wait!
