Talk:TMNT (film)

message: If we could get a link to where it was stated Shredder wouldn't be in it that would be great - not saying it's false, it will just be good to have.
The problem with that, is that it was not mentioned in an online interview or something of that matter, but in the letters page of the TMNT comic book (I forget which issue, but it's a very recent one). The S 03:26, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says the movie's tentative title is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV.  As much as I'd love for the francise to continue the numeration after the previous three movies, I have not yet heard the movie been referred to with "IV".  Anyone have a source for the "IV"?  --Brandon Dilbeck 00:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: However, there is nothing to suggest that it is not a continuity of the other three films. The only mistakes would be minor continuity errors, that happen when a significant amount of time (oh, lets say 13 years) between movies. I agree that we do need references to suggest whether or not it is a continuation, but we have not heard from anyone that it isn't a continuation. Disinclination 04:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I see someone listed what some of the actors in the trailer SOUND like. I think being subjective, this isn't something that should be on the main page of an article, but on the discussion page. Also, I see someone added Mako back. It is true that Mako was announced as the voice of splinter months ago, but unfortunately, he passed away of cancer, shortly thereafter, I think we need more concrete proof that mako is voicing splinter still, did he finish his lines?

replies: text:  unfortunetly, the reference you listed doesn't confirm KMR in the role at all, it only mentions that would be cool.

thread_title:  Flight of the Bumblebee? Really? 

message: yeah, this is defniitely a continuation of the first three flicks. all three turtles movies are referenced in this one.
I'm a turtles fan. I loved the first two movies, and i liked the third. i was excited when i heard that a fourth one was being made. if youre a turtles fan, and you plan on seeing this movie, my advice is keep your expectations low, unless youre six years old or younger. in that case you'll probably like it. this movie was made with only one thing in mind: selling toys to kids. It's a lame movie. the story is awful. really awful. full of cliches about ancient warriors, monsters comming out of different dimensions, and immortal curses. the movie is entirely digitally animated. things look kind of okay. some cool rain effects. the sets are cool. the character move (walk) a bit akwardly at times. the turtles hands and feet are abnormally large, but there are certain details like skin texture and veins and wrinkles which make them look alright. the human characters all look bad. my friend said he thinks splinter looks like chester cheetah. he's right. also, splinter sounds like a drunken pizza chef when he talks. oh, and there are not nearly enough pizza refferences in the movie. like, no pizza jokes.

replies: text: That, and the part of the article where it says they have the canister of ooze, a time scepter, etc, would indicate that this film does include the previous films in its continuity.

replies: text:  You know the Time Scepter and Armor could also be a referance to the part in the comics when the Turtles used a scepter to travel in time.
Except that the Scepter seen is clearly the one from the third movie and besides the Time Scepter was never theirs in the comics. User: Jay Verdi
There are a few problems with this film being part of the continuity of the first three films. 1.) Shredder's Helm. How could the the turtles have aquired it? Why is it not crushed? We can plainly see the helm get crushed at the end of the first film.  2.) from what I can tell by looking at pictures of the movie, splinter still has all of his right ear. If this was supposed to be in continuity his right ear would be missing because shredder cut it off in Japan.  3.) The turtles did not and could not return to the present time with any part of the samuri armor based on the rules of equal mass displacement outlined in the third film. Also at this point in the movie they've long abandoned their samuri armor.

thread_title:  Teenage Mutant Ninja Tutrles: Immortal 

message: The article states this: "In a recent interview, director Kevin Munroe stated that he'd like to direct a possible sequel, possibly involving the return of the Shredder." I just saw the movie today, and towards the end, Karai subtlety hints at this. Oh course, then the turtles get the hint, and simultaneously shout out "The Shredder?!"The Great Morgil 01:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Article states that this film takes place after TMNT 1,2 and 3. This is not exactly true. You see, there is no Karai in old TMNT movies, and April is a reporter there. This is because old movies were after old TMNT series, while new TMNT movie is after new TMNT 2003+ series. My best guess is that new TMNT movie takes place right before last Season 4 episode (ill-famous "The Ninja Tribunal"), and Karai actually hints the Turtles about upcoming True Shredder threat (as we know from Season 5, Karai knew about True Shredder from the very beginning and made some preparations). However it means that Episode 103 "Good Genes Part II" from Season 4 and "The Ninja Tribunal" are separated by...i don't know...a year? This may not be possible, because "The Ninja Tribunal" story arc begins in Episode 100 "A Tale of Master Yoshi" (first appearance of the Ninja Tribunal) and "Good Genes Part II" (elemental Heralds come into play). Anyways, they can't do a movie about Shredder's Return, because it is already done in Season 5. L.R.N 03:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Why is there nothing on the horrible Rotten Tomatoe score this movie got? Right now the reception section is nothing but a gush piece picking out the few people who liked it while Rotten Tomatoes clearly shows that among critics it has a 32%. 128.227.48.253 03:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, certainly it should be added. One thing to note, however, is that critics and the "fans" often have different rating scores. It's one thing I've noted consistantly with RT. As with several horror movies, critics have often bashed many of them. However, the fans continually love the movies, despite their flaws (which they see quite clearly), and rate them high. So if you could post on here the link for the critic score and the "fan" score, it would be much appreciated and would be added to the article. :) Disinclination 17:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Portland local band Ever We Fall (of Hopeless Records) spent the weeks leading up to the film's release spreading word of their track "Youth Like Tigers" and its presence in the film. However, many fans were disappointed to learn that the scene featuring the track was roughly 15 seconds long ; and the nature of that scene was not particularly significant.  The use of music by Jet and P.O.D. received applause during the Portland press screening of the film.

thread_title:  Trivia info to be encorporated better 

message: I was going to put a little note in the trivia section until I noticed the message not to add anything more there. The artifacts on the lair's wall makes it clear viewers are supposed to see this movie as a sequel to the three previous films, but in the video game Shredder's design is based on the 2003 cartoon show. Even more telling are Mirage's comic book prequels and movie adaptation; triceratons are seen, utroms are mentioned, and the characters the Ancient One and the Ninja Tribunal make appearances. This all points to an interpretation that the movie can be viewed as extending from the 2003 show. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by RossMay (talk • contribs) 17:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's set in the same universe as the previous films. Period. It ignores The Next Mutation, but whether that was actually set in the movie universe was unlikely in the first place. (After all, the Shredder was already dead.) As for the inclusion of Karai as the leader if the Foot, she's a character first created for the Mirage comics, not the 2003 series; her use neither proves or disproved anything. oknazevad (talk) 00:54, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Right, because people never change jobs or anything. And so what if Karai never appeared in a movie before? It's a debut if a character new to that continuity. You ignore the obvious, and rather intentional, continuity inclusions of the items from the first three films in the Turtles lair at the end of the film. Those were put there specifically to show that the film is in the same continuity as the live action films. oknazevad (talk) 19:04, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

message: In the trivia section, it says that all of the Generals' names are derived from Spanish and lists them, one of them being Mono for monkey.  Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I saw the movie yesterday and I don't recall seeing anyone by the name of Mono.  There was a Colonel Santino, but I can't seem to figure out the meaning of his name, unless it comes from santo for saint, which doesn't seem right to me.  I'm quite curious if anyone could shed some light on this matter.

replies: text: This article currently says Santino (what's a santino? elephant?), but the toy of the character is definitely called Mono. However, i saw the movie yesterday and none of the generals other than Aquila (Eagle) were named in the movie. They barely spoke. The question is. what do the credits say?   and speaking of Aquila, this article currently spells it Aguila, as Patrick Stewart's character said it was at the beginning, correcting April's pronunciation of 'akila', but later on Stewart pronounces it 'Akila' anyway, and since Aquila means eagle, that's probably his name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.21.221 (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Why does the TMNT (film)#Voice cast section list them in this order? They're not alphabetical by the performers' names or the characters' names, and i doubt they're listed in order of who's most important to the plot or the order they first appear in the film. Is this the order the credits lists them? If they're in this order for a reason, the article should probably clarify that. Otherwise, we should rearrange the list in a more intuitive manner, most likely either starting with the Turtles (since the movie is named after them) or alphabetizing everyone by character name (based on the assumption that readers are more likely to wonder "Who voiced this character?" than "Which character did this person voice?")
Also, Ziyi Zhang redirects to Zhang Ziyi, and i thought the end credits used the latter. Probably best if this article matches how her name appears in the credits.
