I only considered them cartoon characters because I grew up with the 2003 cartoon and then went back and watched all the 80s cartoon. I've read all the comic books too and I loved those. I can understand why people didn't like this film, but all that I ask is that people consider the amount of long days and hard work put into making any movie and at least give Michael Bay and all the producers and actors and makeup artists and costume directors and special effects people acknowledgement for trying to make the fans happy. I'm sure that making the fans happy was their goal, and whether or not they succeeded is up to the fans. Okay, that's understandable. And, to be honest, I don't mind new incarnations of TMNT making new experimental changes. Every new incarnation of TMNT has been different in each their own ways. I especially liked how the 2K12 series actually made them more believable teenagers, until the wellspring of teenage angst and drama seemed to completely dry up by the middle of the third season and they became lifeless one-dimensional characters. I do like and enjoy humor, etc., in TMNT, if it's done well. This comes to mind. :) See, it's not so much a reimagined incarnation being new and different. It's about it being done well or badly.
