Turtles Forever (2009 TV Movie)
6/10
Fun but disrespectful

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched this for the second time, and it was a fun little adventure, but it is very disrespectful to the 80s cartoon and everyone who grew up loving it. The 80s Turtles are so dumbed-down, to the point that even Donatello was portrayed as a simpleton who seemed to almost fluke his way to his genius inventions. Even the 80s Shredder seemed needlessly Flanderised! Though I will concede, the '03 Shredder did make a very good and genuinely threatening antagonist.

Loved the appearance of the '84 Turtles as well, even if they were slightly over-simplified, character-wise. I realise that was kind of the point, given the little Eastman and Laird not at the end, but again, the turtles all seemed to samey, whereas only the '03 Turtles seemed to have any differing personalities.
