It's getting harder and harder to sit through these parodies. However, I really enjoyed this one. Sure, you'll find a lot of the same humor here that you'll find in the Scary Movies and other dumb genre spoofs. But this time, there's at least a solid story behind it rather than being entirely non-sequitur. There's not nearly as much gross-out gags in this one, and there are solid performances from Drake Bell, Christopher MacDonald and others. The superhero genre is ripe for parody, while action films, chick flicks, and slasher movies have all been done to death. The film's score isn't bad either, but to get right down to the point, it's nice to see a comedy film that can actually make you laugh

If sending the Turtles back in time (a la the third movie) was a bad idea, sending them to the future would also be a mistake, right? Wrong. Sure, the setting and supporting character's are like nothing that's been in the Ninja Turtles franchise before. But Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Master Splinter are still the characters we know and love. The series has actually done a good job showing the Turtles and Splinter adapt to their new surroundings, and provide sufficient development and likability to their new supporting cast. A few of the villains could use some sprucing up, but others are still pretty cool. And the less serious atmosphere in most episodes better reflects the mood of the original 1987 series, while still maintaining a bit of the feel from the episodes preceding this time warp. Bottom line: Don't underestimate "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward". It's an enjoyable follow-up to the 2003 series. We don't know how long the good times will last, so just stick around and see these Turtles go.
