I am excited about this movie....and I'm 30 dang years old lol.
Thats right...I was there in the late 80s when the Turtles came on the scene big time, and I was into it pretty hard core. Cartoons, video games, some comics, and lots of action figures. Because of all the good times I had back then, I'm still a Turtle fan today...although can't say I follow any of the modern plots or cartoons and what not.

True, but before the animated cartoon show the TMNT were actually a bit more of a dark story. In fact, I heard that in the original story The Shredder was ultimately defeated via decapitation. But their popularity took off, and to make it really big they knew they needed to tone is down for the kids.
When I was a kid, I actually prefered TMNT II and III over the first movie, but as I got older I really started to like the first better because of its grittier story line and more dark feel. II got lighter in tone, and III is plain silly.
I really hope they do the TMNT justice and don't go to far out of bounds with the story as I've heard they are chaning up the origins of the Turtles. I also hope the keep the story line more on the serious side with a good story. I want plenty of action too, just not meaningless action with crazy explosions lol.
