| Any Turtles fan here?
I grew up watching the 1987 cartoon. I tried watching the 2003 cartoon, but couldn't get into it. I am currently watching the 2013 series. I really like it. I like how it's a mix of the 1987 series and the 2003 series. There's a plot with humor thrown into it.
I think Donny is my favorite turtle in the 2013 series. He's such a geek and cutie pie. I love how Ralph has a pet turtle and he's a turtle. XD |

| Yep. I'm a 1987-er. I grew up watching the original movies and Turtles in Time is still one of my favorite games ever.
I never really watched the 2003 cartoon. I think I was watching stuff on the WB at the time, and I wasn't too interested in the darker plotline of the 2003 cartoon.
I'm still not sure of what to think of this new movie that just released. I really don't think TMNT needed an edgy, realistic reboot, and I definitely don't want to see another movie with Megan Fox in it. The turtles themselves look ridiculous. XD
I've seen episodes of the 1987 cartoon on youtube, and it's kinda cheesy but in a fun way. I still like the style of music and I have a new appreciation for The Shredder in that show, as he's voiced by James Avery (Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel Air) |

| Well comics are a lot darker actually.
As for the new movie I don't think I'll see it. Maybe if it's on TV and there's nothing to watch. I have watched reviews and the reviewers said it was awful. I will admit I like the idea of giving each turtle their own identity beside the mask. Like Donny wears goggles on his head because he the tech guy. But they look butt ugly.
I saw the old live action movies, but the first two only. I heard the third one was awful. I liked the 2007 GC movie. It has flaws, but it's a fun watch.
I recommended watching the 2012 series (It's not 2013, it's from 2012...). They have anime like expressions which looks dumb, but it adds charm to the series. The turtles actually act like 15 year olds. I was against at first because it would be all CG, but it proved me wrong. The show looks great and it has good voice acting. Actually one of the voice actors from the 1987 cartoon is on the cast. Rob Paulsen who voiced Ralph is voicing Donny. XD Other actors from the 1987 cartoon have provided additional voices. I think it's cool that they got some of the old voice actors back. |

| I remember growing up being a young child and watching the 80s cartoon version. When I went to watch turtles a few years ago, I tried to start with that one, and I couldn't do it. The only ones I did watch were TMNT 2003 (only the first few seasons before they went all space future like and ruined a good show!). I also began watching TMNT 2012 when it first came out. At first I wasn't too sure of the animation style but eventually it grew on me and I love it! |

| I usually find it irksome that EVERY MOVIE EVER is hailed as the #1 movie in America/The World in commercials. But now that I've seen that the reception for the new TMNT movie is almost entirely negative, it's hilarious.
I mean they can't just come out and say "This movie sucks!" |

| I haven't watched it ad I"m not sure I want to, to be honest. For one, I'm not liking what they did for the animation and secondly Megan Fox is playing April O'Neil. >.> |

| I grew up watching the 2003 series. Mikey was my role model when I was 7. Although I kind of lost interest when I got a bit older and the plot started getting really ridiculous.
I didn't think I'd enjoy the 2007 movie when it came out but when I finally got around to watching it I actually thought it was pretty good.
The new movie looks like complete garbage though. I'll probably watch it anyway but I have absolutely zero expectations. I mean, the CGI is barely a step up from the crappy costumes they had in the old live action movies. |

| I grew up with 87 cartoon and the 90s movies as well. I just can't bring myself to watch the new movies. I saw the previews and I couldn't do it. I loved the older cartoon and movies. |

Once you get passed the animation of the 2012 style, it's not so bad. It does grow on you and the writing is done very well done. |

| I've seen like 3 episodes of the 2012 one. I really enjoyed it. The turtles act like teenagers and the writing is quite good. You get a sense of brotherhood between them. Raphxhis pet turtle. So cute! <3
I need to watch more episodes. @.@ |
