Lacks everything that makes the 2003 series great., 14 June 2008

TMNT. Man, those were great cartoons right alongside Transformers, Voltron, Thundercats, and various other childhood favorites. When TMNT '03 came along, I was so enthusiastic about it; what more can a fan want than a bigger budget, more serious show with their favorite green heroes from ages past? In the case of TMNT: Fast Forward, the results are nothing less than mediocre. For one thing, since already establishing impressive groundwork, the creators took a bizarre detour and went the "Joel Shumacher" route with more clownishly childlike humor, weak story lines and flat, dull-as-a-washed-up-actor action scenes with no substance whatsoever. It's not enough that the characters have become the butt of so many unfunny jokes but when you have one of the more important characters such as Splinter taking a back seat while his "student's are getting their arse handed to them, one must wonder how can a father figure be so cold and distant. He's essentially a narcissist!!! So Casey and April O'Neal had a son, so what? He basically added nothing remotely significant to the mythos. Aside from revealing things from their previous encounters from enemies of the past (namely Shredder), his relationship with the main characters leave them nothing but a empty refrigerator of clichés and pariahs of other cartoons.

I do give this show some props though. The animation is good and the creatures and worlds are impressively realized given that the previous series had much better set pieces. They're certainly nice to look at but the effect is rather meh at best Unfortunately the main fault of FF is that it lacks the ingredient that makes a show enjoyable: Fun. None of the magic that was so apparent in the 2003 series is here. The only sigh of relief is when the Lost Episodes came out. Those alone can run circles around this piece of trash.

An abomination. Avoid.
