Cowabunga, dudes! What did you learn?!

[Trekker4747]

I've been a Turtles fan all of my life.  I had a lot of fears as I watched over this movie's development especially with Michael Bay involved and even though he was only the producer it seemed like he very hands on and had a lot of influence on the directions it went in.

But, in the end, the movie left me... Satisfied.  "Satisfied" in a "I just had a meal at Arby's" sort of way, but I left with my childhood more or less intact.  I thought it was fine, plenty of flaws for sure and lots of things they could have done different (did the Turtles need to be seven feet tall?) and Megan Fox wasn't.... *too* bad as April O'Neil and really liked the use of Vernon.  Still, I mostly left the movie satisfied and not annoyed.

But, enough of all of that!  What did you learn?!

I learned you have lower standards than I thought.

Just kidding. This is better than I thought.

I learned when an mp3 riff comes out, I better damn well buy it if I want to see another one.

I learned that Mike cares WAY more than he should about The Brady Bunch. As in, at all. No one should care about The Brady Bunch at all.

I learned that you can actually have Megan Fox jumping on a trampoline and not make it sexy.

[CJones]

I learned Michael Bay makes a better producer than he does a director. This movie actually wasn't all that bad. Easily better than the last three Transformers movies.

I learned that the Turtles either have an unspecified source of income, or they are world class thieves. Where are they getting all these computers, flat screen TVs, martial arts equipment and a WALL OF BOOMBOXES?!

New York sewers are cleaner than the streets of New York.

Humanoid rats have prehensile tails. Who knew? Credit where credit's due though, Splinter was pretty badass. I never would have guessed that was Tony Shaloub.

[Trekker4747]

Rats have prehensile tails that can lift hundreds of pounds at that!

I learned that Manhattan borders Colorado.

Better question: Where did they get the MISSILE for the Turtle Van?

I'm sure Donnie worked something up.

I learned that wooden bo-staffs are able to flip Hummers.

I learned that Manhattan borders Colorado.

Kind of reminds me how everyone calls the dam level in the first NES Turtles game the "Hoover Dam."  Yeah, that's in New York, right?

[ScottotD]

I left with my childhood more or less intact.

Congratulations, that means you're not still in your childhood.

I learned it's good to hear that old Rifftrax intro song again.

[Darth Geek]

I learned it's good to hear that old Rifftrax intro song again.

I can't stand that awful squeeling guitar riff. And to have it suddenly blare at you right when you start, just shocks the hell out of you.

[jonalame]

I found I actually missed Coulton's intro song.

I learned about the little known explosive properties of steel girders.

[Darth Geek]

I found I actually missed Coulton's intro song.

As apposed to the squealing guitar, I agree.
