TMNT Reboot?
So it may surprise some of you that I am actually a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. However, I am a fan of them back when they were actually ninjas who killed people, not scooter riding kiddie cartoons throwing pizzas at each other. The very first TMNT movie almost captured that, at least to an extent, but everything afterward, especially the cartoon, has basically been pap for soft brained kids. Actually, it’s pap that soft brains kid’s parents all think their kids should love. In my experience most kids are totally cool with ninjas killing guys.
Anyway, I read this morning that they are rebooting the movie series, and Michael Bey will be filming it. Unlike Dave I don’t really have a problem with Bey as long as he doesn’t keep putting in whiny little girls as the male protagonists. My hope is that he manages to bring the turtles back to when they were kind of kick ass and dangerous, as seen in this image from the Comic Boot T-Shirts. With the advances in CGI and Beys skill with it the action could be pretty good, and odds are he will find some brainlessly super hot girl to have his camera linger over every scene. However, if he caves into the modern pressure to produce inoffensive crap expect to see a lame PG film with nothing actually resembling blood or drama.
