- It’s TMNT, a movie that is missing a lot of key components. Plot, Character Development, and much more. Nostalgia Critic takes a look at TMNT (2007).
Originally aired on April 22, 2009.
TMNT is a 2007 computer-animated superhero film written and directed by Kevin Munroe (in his feature directorial debut). It is the first animated film in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise and a standalone sequel of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. The film features an ensemble voice cast featuring Chris Evans, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mako, Kevin Smith, Patrick Stewart, and Ziyi Zhang with narration by Laurence Fishburne. The story sees the four Turtles -- Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo (voiced respectively by James Arnold Taylor, Nolan North, Mitchell Whitfield, and Mikey Kelley) -- having grown apart after their final defeat of their arch-enemy, the Shredder, but are set to reunite and overcome their faults to save the world from evil ancient creatures.

So Casey is played by Captain America, Leo is played by Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank, Raphael is played by Nathan Drake, and their Sensai is Iroh.....HOW IS THIS NOT MORE AWESOME?!!
It's awesome enough
Years late I know but
Mikey is also ratchet?
don't forget April is played by buffy
Michelangelo is also voiced by Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank. But only in the first game. Leonardo took over from then on out.
"Turtles can't get jobs!"
Critic that's racist!
They took our jobs!

Am I the only one who loves how this movie looks?
The details on the textures, the character modeling, the gritty and dark setting of the city.
Heck, LOOK AT THIS SCENE 12:25 , the red light reflecting on Leo's skin because of the rain, and his eyes are absurdly detailed for 2007, and the facial expressions are on point.
oh i loved the detail
I loved this film
Play metal gear solid 4
But critics must not understand this scene.
7:55 skips the part of the narration that talks about them defeating Shredder, complains that he doesn't know where Shredder is.
"Nostalgia Critic feigns Ignorance Cliché. DING!"
Seriously though, that just pisses me off when he did that.
@@DiamondBatToonscome on just accept it, don't hard on him
Mako Iwamatsu is Splinter. He is also Aku and everybody's favorite uncle Iroh.
rip mako.
Juwan Campbell Iroh the greatest uncle I have ever seen in cartoon history
Saint Nixon Not just so He is the BEST ;) RIP
Saint Nixon I KNEW IT!
Saint Nixon I thought he was Aku
"This is an intro to a fucking video-game".
You're not half wrong, they made a video-game out of this movie. I have it, have played it, was pretty fun.
Do you mean that Turtle smash game which is a rip off of smash bros. If so, yeah it is fun.
Nah, I mean like the literal copy of this movie, game called TMNT. It's a hack'n'slash type game. Thing is, it was released 3 days *before* the movie, so that's pretty weird.
puér stanky Oh. My mistake.
Iced Tea Yeah. The game is great if you're bored. I had it on PSP, great portable game title
+TakenRecord Dogg the PSP version sucked tho. The PS2 were better. And no, both game are completely different, downright to both its gameplay and story
"Stop calling me that. I'm a f*cking rat"
That made me laugh so hard that I am keep repeating it...and everytime is funnier than the last...
When does he say that
@@johannesvonmalos7505
At 9:13
You gotta admit this movie has a pretty dang good soundtrack.
It has a pretty dang good everything
Yah! It does have the best soundtrack that blends in so well with the scenes, etc. And frankly it's better than Mutant Mayhem's soundtrack.
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.
Wow, Splinter's voice in this movie sounds like an old man who is an uncle to a scarred ex-prince who is bounty hunting the latest reincarnation of an ancient peace keeping warrior to restore his father's love again.
ScatterBrained He also sounds like a certain Oni who sent a samurai to the future, just for him to get back to the past.
@@Gojira98 He also sounds like a laid-back yet smart old man, who teaches his nephew the path of peace
Sounds like a anthropomorphic rat to me..
What a fake Avatar fan. He couldn't even recognize Mako. Lol.
@@Kuzamer thanks dude. 7 years too late
Wait... Wait... Where did this theory that Clark Kent is Superman come from? Clark Kent is just a humble reporter. Superman is a Physical God. Superman has no secret identity. He's Superman all the time. Silly Critic.
I know right, it's just as crazy as saying Bruce Wayne is Batman.
+Mohogany Ceaser I know right and this is coming the guy with a batman pic
Mohogany Ceaser and saying dick Grayson is robin
Ikr it's insane. Someone earlier was trying to convince me Shaggy from Scooby Doo was actually an all powerful deity pretending to be a wimp.
That’s like saying Matt Murdock is daredevil. Pitiful theory.
Before I watch this. The 2007 movie is a nostalgic part of my childhood and no matter what he says it will hold a place in my heart
Yeah man, I remember seeing posters around the beach city when I was 10 years old
It's the demon known as *George of the jungle*
That was the only joking this review that actually made me laugh
Terrifying.
and anyone who watched the 2003 TMNT knew exactly who Karai was right away
But kari was just added to extend the show and make the story confusing
HotnessGaming I know and Love Karai from the Nickelodeon TMNT series. And I haven't seen the 2003 series.
i am he opposite. i watched the 2007 series (even if i forgot most of it) but i havent seen the nick series full (i lost track in season 2 finale, because where i live, theychanged schedule, i stopped watching nick, and i lost track).

Splinter had the same voice as iroh from avatar seems fitting
JoePlays MC Same voice actor
AzulGatos41 ik...
JoePlays MC I wondered where I had heard Iroh's voice before. Question answered.
+Carlos Montero o7
+JoePlays MC what the hell how dare they use iroh's voice this has ruined my childhood
I never knew Chris Evans was Casey Jones. Holy crap! That's awesome!🤗
Seriously? The dude is casey jones, captain america, Johnny Storm - any other heros you wanna take chris!?
@@dustyrose192 so Uncle Noly worked with Uncle Iroh and Cap.
What School Doesn't Teach You Wolfie Well, at one point he played a villain. He played one of the evil ex boyfriends in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Great film!!
@@dustyrose192 He might make a good Wally West.
@@hiranom20 No! Hes too many! let someone else be him XD
"This isn't what I had in mind when I pictured a ninja turtles movie" You mean how Raph goes off doing his own thing, driving a wedge between himself and the guys and has to learn to be part of the team and cool his temper? No, you're right, that's never happened, other than every other TMNT movie and multiple episodes of the shows.
Yay. It not like having Optimus not wanting to harm human or learn to about humans while still being a prime
Or
Captain America learning about the the world he was sleep when he was frozen.
Or super man showing more then just a hero.
That really not we want in a show we like.
(It a joke if anyone get mad.)
I actually really liked the film. Guess I'm alone in that.
Nah I loved it too.
same.
Ya I liked the depth. It really was strong enough for me that I bought the dvd and Gellar was amazing as was Stewart.
It's actually my favorite TMNT film to this day next to the first movie and wayyyy more than the new ones right now. I loved the tone and I thought the characters were the best represented in this movie.
That's also my favourite TMNT movie. This is basically tepe history Of how I GET obsessed with TMNT.
Ninja Turtles: Civil War
I like battletoads: zit vd wart better.
And coincidentally Casey Jones in this movie is voiced by Captain America himself, Chris Evans.
Tristan Hartup Holy shit! You're right!
Omg it is! Can't believe I didn't realize till now.
Trisket team raph: michealangelo April
Team leo: donatello casey splinter
I can't believe that I just found out that Casey is voiced by Chris Evans
*Turtles fight* “It’s like a video game! Where’s the backstory!”
*Talking about the backstory between Leo and Raph* “Where’s the fighting?!”
I don't even understand the criticism of it looking like a video game? It's an animated movie, not real life.
@@jazzwebster9851
Dude is an idiot
@@HarrisonMelegari-kp9yo The movie was released in 2007 and it did a good job, mostly on turtles.
Ah, so this is the infamous "He made fun of Mako!" Review
Interesting
Zoë Z. Snazzy Lesson learn people, don't make fun of Mako.
Is he making fun of Mako though? Mako died midway through this film's production, so Greg Baldwin was brought in as a voice double. As someone who has watched Avatar: the Last Airbender multiple times, I can say that the voicework in the scene that NC mocks sounds distinctly like Greg, not Mako.
@@matthewmuir8884 Now that you mention it, I do actually see that. Thanks for bringing that up
Not as infamous as the barts nightmare review
He also made this film look like a bad film…
Which is not.
"This is officially a video game."
Well, Raph is voiced by Nolan North.
Who also voiced the Kraang in the 2012 T.M.N.T. show too.
@@freakyfornash yesss!! I love that series!
And Both Leonardo and Micky played Ratchet. Micky in the First Game and Leo in ever game after that.
@@bigbywolf9303 even Deadpool and Nathan Drake been voice by Nolan north

FUCK YEAH! SPARKLE SPARKLE SPARKLE!
And Thus Began the Mako Chronicles
Mako 👐🏻 🎼ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh🎼
"Ugh the turtles are just standing around developing characters!"
Turtles start fighting "ugh, this is just a video game!"
yeah I thought that was kinda unfair to criticise both sides of the story - not for HOW they did it, but for doing it at ALL!
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. Not to mention that it’s developing characters around a story that we haven’t seen. There’s barely any context for it. And the video game thing was just a joke. He even says the cgi and action scenes are kickass.
The problem was that they didn’t explain why the turtles retired so the arcs made no sense.
If only it was possible to develop characters in ways other than standing and talking, or to have action scenes that serve purposes
I still love this movie.
Chris Atherton me too
Chris Atherton Agreed. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine.
@@Chad_Eldridge He's just saying that he still likes the film after what Critic said. He's not trying to change anything, he's just saying his own opinion and that's apparently wrong to have free speech?
Same
Me too
“TURTLES CAN’T GET JOBS!”
CinemaSins voice: That’s racist.
Missing a lot of key components. Yeah.It should have a sequel. This is actually a great movie.
Yes I enjoyed it
Animation was good, characters were good and interesting, story needed fixing, but overall not the worst but not the best ninja turtles movie
I think it is. I heard somewhere that is a sequel to the original 90’s trilogy.
@MovieMonster if you look closely at 16:56, the items on the trophy shelf correspond to each of the original three movies.
the monster at 14:40 is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, who now voices shredder in the 2012 cartoon
WAIT, SHREDDER IS VOICED BY GANTU FROM LILO AND STITCH?!?!
@Grey Wilson I did not know this!!! Wow!!!!
@@alfeld3729 He is indeed, good sir. ☺
Yesss I love that series sooo much!!
@@alfeld3729 yep! Shocking right? I love Lilo and Stitch the series sooo much! It was my childhood! And tmnt 2012 is my fave turtles incarnation ❤️🧡💜💙🐢
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.
Plus, it was an amazing fight.
You are unnecessarily salty.
@@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.
Yay that why I hate few nostalgia critic reviews. They kind of get me boil up.
@@NeroCM Yeah but Leo is Described that Way by the Cool dude so people tend to believe the Cool dude instead of their Eyes. Just look at Cyclops the Guys always right yet still gets shit from Wolverine. Who do people believe when He calls Scott a Dick despite the contrary?
It’s funny how Doug didn’t realize the voice actor of splinter is the same voice actor of uncle iroh in avatar last air bender. Since he’s a big fan of the show
Is splinter uncle iroh from avatar?
+Gabe Thomas Yep, I'm surprised that the Critic didn't realize this considering how much he likes Avatar.
+Gabe Thomas yes
+Kyoskue - He didn't even know what that was back then. He mentions it in another review about how he didn't know.
Yeah that's what was i thinking during the whole review.
Gabe Thomas Also Aku from Samurai Jack.
HAH! this video was originally uploaded in April 2009.....get it?....April?.........forget it......
April should be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles month!
+Bongo Bingo omg...my birthday IS on April....that would be the best present to wait for every year T U T
+Bongo Bingo cause she was a lab assistant
Alexander Potec and I'm watching this in April.. SORCERY!
7:40 I always love when there some rich guy who's secretely evil and nobody seems to bat at eye when they see him. Most billionaires are saggy old men, not 7 foot tall behemoths with the body type that could be best described as "refrigerator with legs". 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. Imagine meeting the your new boss and he's spends the whole interview bench pressing your Honda Accord before eating a whole cow.
Ummm interesting comment, but I don't know, lol
I remembered this as a live action movie, so when I was searching for it, I was surprised. Probably my first interaction with TMNT.
I loved this movie, it was better than the Bay abominations anyway
Ciaran McGuinness The look is better but makes just as much sense.
Ciaran McGuinness and Matt Way diddo.
Even though he only Produced it
HEY I LIKED THOSE TRANSFORMERS MOVIES
While I do like Mako, I will acknowledge that I didn't like his voice as Splinter. He did great as Iroh in Avatar the Last Airbender, and every other movie I saw him in, but I think there were other voices of Splinter that were better than him. Sorry Mako, nothing personal, and may you rest in peace.
Omnicidal Clown My you rest in peace? Haven't heard that one before.
Chozo Hunter Well excuse me for having sympathy towards a deceased actor.
Omnicidal Clown No, I meant that you spelled "may" wrong in your previous comment.
Omnicidal Clown I'm sorry, I wasn't criticising you or anything, just pointing out a typo. Probably should have been clearer about it when I first wrote it. -_-)
Fun story from seeing this movie in the theater: went with some friends in the afternoon (we were all in college and a little toasted that afternoon) but scene where Leo & Ralph fight on the roof in the rain. A little boy behind me stands up on the edge of his seat and SCREAMS at the screen! “Nooooo! That’s your brother!!! You can’t fight your brother!” Of course me and my friends find this to be the most funny thing we’ve ever heard, I still laugh about it to this day 😂
No joke, at 14:19, my exact words were "Well this got gay."
They are brothers you weirdo.
@@cybercriminal3110 I know right

Just leave him alone
Well that didn't age well :D
I'm really enjoying these throwback NC episodes :)
and I can't help it. I like this movie. I admit it has faults, but I like it.
Yeah I like it too. For a TMNT movie, I don't think it's that bad
i really liked this movie as well.
AnimeLovinGirlyGirl You're not alone
I totally agree with you. I mean, what movie doesn't have it's faults, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. And I liked the whole new concept of monsters and different dimensions.
Same, I thought the movie was definitely entertaining
8:01 Well, he was never the sharpest tool in the shed.
......please don't shoot me >_>
That April joke was basically Micheal bay version of her in a nutshell.
I actually enjoyed this movie alot. It made me into the TMNT series and movies. I understand why it's confusing, because, well I was confused at first.
This is supposed to be a sequel to the 90's live action movies which is probably why they skipped the backstory
cyberGupi Not really; the designs and personalities have much more in common with the live-action films, compared to any other version.
rocknrolllives Precisely; why so many failed to understand that is beyond me.
Moviefan2k4 Definitely seem more like the personalities from 03 to me. You can tell since the Foot's leader, Karai (or however you spell that), is from the 03 show.
munromister777
You spelled it right, but Karai was in the original '80s comics before the cartoons or films ever existed. Her origin's varied few times, but she's usually been depicted as second to the Shredder.
Moviefan2k4
Oh, I didn't know that.
Also Splinter voice is okay. I say, it's even better than original cartoon voice, he sounds like ancient Japanese master.
Cause he was voice by Mako, who originally voiced Uncle Iroh in Avatar the Last Airbender before passing away.
mach6247
So who voiced Iroh on Korra? Because I watched Polish dubbing, so I don't know English cast
Greg Baldwin. He was a student of Mako's and after Mako died, he took over. He actually did a lot of Splinter's voice in this film, which I didn't know until I googled it, so his performance was pretty much spot on.
Splinter sounds like he's effing Mexican, dude. It's so bad bad that it actually isn't funny.
kyotheman69 was "a live"? dude rly.
Let’s hope the Nostalgia Critic will be reviewing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem in the coming months.
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 👍
I think Lawrence Fishburne might be the excellent choice to play The Beyonder from Marvel's Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur.
This movie will always be special to me, I watched it so much as a kid and always loved it.
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 think this movie was definitely made for the fans that watched the 2003 series, which was far darker and more adult than the original 80s cartoon. 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. If nothing else, I thought all the characters were portrayed very well, and it explored the turtles brotherly relationships in a more adult fashion.
Winds Haven exactly it's a continuation that's why
He said he grew up with the 80’s cartoon not the 2003 one
i didn’t exactly grow up with the 2003 cartoon TMNT is just one of those things you’re recognise.
i loved this movie when i saw it with my uncle who read the comics and watched the 80’s cartoon,he liked the way they didn’t introduced shredders daughter at all what happened to him or why leo was in the jungle.
not knowing is part of the mystery.
i understand and can see Dougs points here but he got too nitpicke tbh.its one of those movies that makes your kid shut up for 90 minutes isn’t that enough?
@@henry3153 Well, Leonardo and Raphael don't really get along
The reason he didn’t know who karai was is because she wasn’t in the 80s show.
6:53 Dude, don't be dissing Mako, God bless his soul.
He realised his mistake and pointed it out in his first "Top 11 f-up list"
Dillon Ohlemiller Fuck you
Marko sucks. Pussies.
Maria Munoz no he doesn't he is better than you dude
Lore Theorist I mean he’s dead so...
While I grew up with the 2003 series this was the movie that I felt truly introduced me to the series so it has a special plamy heart.
Those rain affects looked fucking good for 2007
All these people are putting down the film for little to no plot before hand, here I am just accepting how it is.
The film has tons of plot.......
It did seem to be just a little too video-game esc. Never quite felt like I was watching a movie at any point, and didn't help the fact it was all C.G.I. with no live action mixed in at all either.
So let me get this straight, the turtles are:
Leonardo
Raphael
Donatello
and Ratchet
Two ratchets and deadpool 😅
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.
Uncle iroh has quite the resume for training troubled young men into heroes
We don't need to be told the origin story over and over again.
znyder: what? did you say do a 15 minutes sequence for an origin story in an over 2 and a half hour movie?
timewarped2the80s but we needed at least some kind of context
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.
Strangely looks like Twilight Princess graphics
WittyBanter 96 I wonder why
I like Jurassic World CGI. I wonder if Twilight looks like if her CGI animation is similar to the dinosaurs from Jurassic World?
Love that game
@@cawag8046 because the director of the movie was involved in video game cutscenes
Funny because the studio that made this film was originally going to make a Zelda film.

Mr. Stark...I don't feel so good.

Well, ya. They use to sell those.

You know there's a game based on this movie, right?
Gaming Cu Vlad | GaminGHD.ro I know. But at the time I had this movie on DVD, I just grabbed my GameCube controller and act like I was playing that scene. :)
+Gaming Cu Vlad | GaminGHD.ro Is it any good?
+EnderHeart5911 It is basically a Prince of Persia game without the time manipulation mechanics
Well they got the teenage angst part of tmnt correct.
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.
10:32 Well, that's what they worked into the 2003 and 2012 cartoon show, so yeah.
I didn't see this movie, but Mickey and Leonardo are voiced by the two voice actors for Ratchet? Cool.
Yeah that is pretty neat isn't it
And Casey Jones in this movie is voiced Captain America himself, Chris Evans
AND Nolan North, aka Nathan Drake himself, is Raphael
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.
Yeah
The 2003 show was GOOD!!!
Understandable but the scene of splinter voice actor was harsh.
@nathanblevins158 Yeah I don't really come back to this review because of that, also because I love this movie, it's one of the better ones in the franchise
@@LeopoldLitchenstein plus some of the jokes were not funny, and his impression are not great here.
This along with his *review* of sailor moon and osmosis jones are the worst I ever watched.
09:10 "I missed you too father""stop calling me that im a fucking rat"im dead
This joke made ma mad little because splinter took him in as a farther.
Doug pretends to be a fan of show or movies but clearly dose no sh*t about the stuff he reviews
Leonardo was a total hypocrite throughout the movie
3:28 why is batman in Tmnt
Because he's BATMAN
They had a crossover
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.
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.
CruelestChris Yeah.
+CruelestChris Fuck that avatar bullshit. US folks born before 1995 remember how fucking bad ass Mako was in Conan the barbarian.
Jerry Cornelius
I've seen Conan, was born in 1982 and don't remember him in it. Was a while ago, admittedly.
so what if he didn't know? People didn't know at the time HE didn't know who Mako was. By your logic they should be getting a pass as well for being angry at such a jab
Sheader is explained at the beginning, he dies.
The foot leader's name is Karai. She was a rebooted character in the early 2000s ninja Turtles series collection. She was also the shredder's daughter. Just in case you were confused.
At least this movie is decent, and 100 times better than the Michael Bay production, god, that movie is so awful.
Man, I still wish to see him vlog the 4kid's TMNT series.
Yep. People like to call it 2K3 series. my favorite TMNT series, regardless of... questionable decisions from the later seasons
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.
Hell the current series is wonderful
***** I kinda want him to watch the Nickelodeon one....
It's actually more....decent than I expected...
I believe he's aware of it, and maybe watched a few. Perhaps vlog Nick Turtles after?
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.....
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)
2:39 OK but that's LITERALLY the Mortal Kombat Armageddon intro
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)
Ben Greene Which part?
+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.
+Ben Greene so you admit 80s tmnt doesn't hold up?
Aksel Ariel Kumral the opinion
2003 is the best period
It occurs to me that neither of the last two movies (this one and last year's) have really explained Karai AT ALL. Maybe now that she's been recast for the second Dunes Turtles movie her role will actually be explained
Hahahahahahaha this hasn't aged well haha waaaaaa😢
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!
18:34
And thus begins Doug's long history in comedic commercials
Amphibian version of The Watchmen? Turtles are reptiles.
Turtles are reptiles?
Omg! This just made me realize something...Past NC is just as Stupid as CinemaSins! 🤣😂
@@kenbee1957 yep. Quick Goodle search and you’ll see.
Man in 2007 that CG was considered good? It's amazing how far we've come since then
4:07 Nitpicking at its best
Cristian M. Not really. It’s a serious problem when the movie doesn’t even know it’s target audience. If it’s for fans, why do you need to have things that fill them in? If it’s not, why spend so little time on their backstory?
11:45 You know, remove that scene, of Leo being surprised, and it would actually make sense to just warn him and then fight. As it would show Leo is trying to pull the big brother tough love act
Believe me or not there's a real video game for this movie
H MasterChaos yeah I really liked it
Doug you should definitely check out the 2003 series of TMNT.
The first 3 Seasons anyway.
Probably too stock up to even know the source material of the comics
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.
I've missed you too, father. "stop calling me that, im a fucking rat." 😂😂😂
The girl is Shredder's "daughter"
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.
***** 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.
"The cast of street fighters if they ate the transformers"😂😂😂😂😂
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.
Holy shit, it's Iroh!
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.
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.
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
the one cartoon movie with dimension hoping actually had its last parts in the universe of the comics
She wasn’t in the 80s show or the 90s movies which is why he didn’t know who she was.
14:21 Oh, so this is where Reo started then.. 😂😂😂
Yeah, exactly xD
This movie was clearly made for people who watched the 2000s show as we'd easily recognize Kurai and recall Shredder being shredded. We also knew about Raph's beef with Leo and being more familiar with the serious tone. Critic lacked context with this one.
No, he feigned ignorance. He was aware of the 2003 show
Well to give him credit, the show didn't properly ended. Given its artstyle is similar and the directors were creating essentially a reboot.
The movie should stand on it's own. The 90s ones were clearly based on the first show yet they were very independent on their story. 2003 show or not the movie is still confusing in it's presentation.
@@deuce5546 not every movie needs to stand on its own. The movie was made for younger fans of the 2003 show who they knew were going to recognize many of the characters almost instantly.
@@LazyPirate8 More of like a spinoff movie of sorts.
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:-)
10:52 wait what the hell did you just say, Casey?
Splinter was voiced by Mako, most famously known as “Uncle Iroh” from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
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.
