Turtle Power

Just got back from Vivo City with a friend. We went to catch TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) - The Movie. In all honesty, it really wasn't the best movie and certainly not worth your seven bucks! On the other hand, I won't say the movie sucked. For me I felt it was more of a 'take me back to my childhood days' kinda movie.

I was a huge TMNT fan when I was a kid. Still remembered I'll always tune into the cartoon series evey Saturday morning. Till now, if u asked me, I can actually remember the entire theme song word for word. My favourite character has gotta be Michaelangelo - the orange turtle. Used to collect all their comics and toy figurines, including the bad guys like the evil Shredder, Krang and who could forget the silly duo - Bebop & Rocksteady (Love em', they're so funny). Even play the SEGA computer game of it, of coz I would always use Michaelangelo. Yup, I was a big fan alright!

Well, was kinda disappointed with the storyline. Felt it wasn't as exciting and it kinda lacked humor as compared to the cartoon series. But nothing could be more upsetting than the fact they didn't even bother to use the original theme song. How could they! That's like the most iconic and significant thing for all turtle fans! Arghhh!

Apart from that, I kinda thought the turtles in the show looked kinda disproportionate! Their green limbs were huge compared to their shell covered bodies. So much for 'state-of-the-art CG animation'. Splinter on the other hand... I honestly cannot figure if he looked more like a hamster, fox or the rat that he should be. Hahaha!

I guess watching the movie did help bring me back to my childhood days. Thinking and looking back now just puts a smile on my face. Those were the days.

Ok, diverting a little from my rambling on about fictional green ninja turtles. Went to Ben & Jerry's for dessert after the movie. Gosh, it's be like a gazillion years since I last been there. Was a good change and ice cream could not have tasted any better. Had my double scoop of Mint chocolate chunks and Dublin mudslide.... yummalicious! Heaven! *drools* Love the cows... ok that was so random!


Meantime, I'll sign off for now leaving you with the theme TMNT theme song (just for fun)...
