I grew up with Ninja Turtles. I even centered my 9th birthday around the release of the first movie, which I saw in theatres 5 times.
I even saw the less than perfect sequel a year later!
Of course...when you're a kid, you really could care less about the movie as long as those turtles totally destroy Shredder.
(I do have one complaint about the new TMNT series...I refuse to accept the new Krang. The old Krang was perfect, right up to the squeaky, nails on a chalkboard voice and Transformer like body, which appeared to be made out of Legos. This new Krang is a joke, IMO)
