Best Moview this year

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2007)

no spoilers.. but i just wanted to say.. i never really saw the original cartoons (apart from the odd one) so i didn't have any expectations going into the cinema.. but from the beginning to the end, i was blown away and it was just a really fun action packed movie.
the CGI effects are mind bogglingly realistic. there's a few surprise cameos.. the story is relatively straightforward, the acting was competent and there was a requisite amount of cheese.
it seems that every time there is an adaptation, the traditionalists always rear their ugly heads and say.. oh the movie didn't follow this, didn't follow that... well, as far as im concerned so what?
this was just a great movie. and surely anyone making an adaptation, is allowed some degree of artistic license..
so please, if you haven't seen this movie yet, don't bother about whats been said, just go and see it.
