TMNT

i watched TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) last March 30. And its April 19 already! Why the delayed blog entry? i dont know. i just wasn't in the mood to write about it. anyway, i saw it a few weeks ago and like i said to people who asked me whether its good or not, an 8 over 10 is a good rating for the movie. I liked it and its good because its really a movie (it didnt rely much on the TV series except for assuming that everybody knows the origin of the turtles). i liked its story and i liked the animation. the only problem i had is that only 2 of the turtle characters were primarily used. the two others were underdeveloped. of course, if there's a sequel, then maybe its the turn of the other two turtles to have their characters portrayed more vividly. most likely, its hard to have all four turtle characters to be treated equally in the movie, given the limitations of having a good story in a more or less 2 hour movie. another thing is its more mature theme. yeah, they're still teenagers but they aren't like the ones people remember watching from TV. The personalities are intact but the problems and situations they face have changed. the turtles' story is no longer kid stuff. they may not have grown up very much, but it shows an emphasis that they are getting older when it comes to dealing with their lives.

as for the soundtrack, its good! it really fits the movie. in my opinion, the collection of songs is like a cross between Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift soundtrack and American Pie 2 soundtrack (because these are the 2 soundtracks that the TMNT soundtrack reminded me of). what i mean is that, there are songs you would like to listen to while driving at night on a clear highway and there are songs that fit teen movies (hence, American Pie).

well, that's pretty much what i recall as the things i wanted to write about when i saw the movie a few weeks ago.
