If I thought an internet petition was likely to have any effect in Hollywood, I for one would use it for something that matters a bit more in my opinion, like getting the IP for Star Wars into Peter Jackson's hands.
Meh, it's too far in to stop now.
I feel the pain of turtles fans, you only get so many shots at movies and you want them to be good, and if they're not good and not successful, then you get even less shots. Worse is if they're not good, but then are successful, then you get stuck with a shitty franchise.
A petition is probably not going to work though. Hollywood is not moved by such things, only by money.
If the turtles movie sucks, and it probably will, the biggest way you can make an impact is not go see it, encourage your friends and family not to see it, and then hope that someone else gets it right next time.

Very rarely have I agreed with you more than I do now. I can only say this: I concur. This (and the ME3 thing for that matter) is just asinine.Zekksta said:
And it won't, specifically because Michael Bay movies are money. The only way they stop giving him these movies is if he stops making money.Vault101 said:
Hollywood is going to weigh the millions Bay makes with every movie against the outrage of fanboys, and do it anyway.
Michael Bay tends to bring in the dosh, no petition will stop that. I am expecting an action flick, with explosion's. That is what I will get, and I will pay to see it
Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiit, could people just grow up already? Are we really going to have to have a petition for everything a group disagrees with? Halo 4 has no Covenant, petition. Half Life 3 directly continues the story, petition. Bejeweled 4 has DLC, petition. And then an FTC complaint.
This is what we mean when we say the public shouldn't have (too much) creative control. If Micheal Bay wants to produce a Turtles movie and he has the green light then he has every right to.

I won't like it so lets make sure nobody can watch it. It would be illogical to just not watch movie.
Makes sense to me.

As a huge ninja turtle fan in my youth let me ask...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM?
Is micheal bay going back in time to destroy the orignal 3 movies? The cartoon show? Our childhood memories? Is he destroying all orignal copies of that in existence? Are we as Ninja Turtle fans being held down and forced to go see it?
NO. Who gives a fuck if it's not *OUR* Ninja Turtles. For fucks sake, we're adults now, at some point you just gonna accept the fact our childhood is over. Let the new generation of kids have this version of Ninja Turtles, this version of Transformers instead of being self-entitled dick heads whining "NOOO! THEY CHANGED IT SO IT SUCKS!"
DON'T FUCKING GO SEE IT THEN

Like others have said the petition is useless. Micheal Bay can do whatever he wants, he won't change my love of the original series.
I would, but it'd need to be something like 1 million people before it meant anything, and besides, all remakes are bad, this will be no exception, a better protest is to let him make the movie than not pay him for doing so, he loses lots of money, the actors all get paid anyway, and you've the done morally correct thing. In fact, the nice thing to do would be to make this petition as a way of saying 'you'll be remembered for all time as a failface if you do this, don't waste your time' but the outcome will be the same, as such, I chose not to participate.80Maxwell08 said:
I'm personally not to worried about this film. Micheal Bay isn't directing it as far as i understand and Peter Laird is one of the original creators of TMNT so over looking the fact that the heroes in a half shell were not originally from space he could have done a whole lot worse to the medium.
Just let him make his shitty movie, if the source material is as good as we remember it to be then it's hardly lessened by this. I mean are our memories of DBZ any less awesome because they made that shitty live action movie a few years ago? No it's not. We all laughed at how bad it was and thanked the fsm (all hail his noodly appendage) that we saw the turd coming from a mile away.
Honestly, if Michael Bay wants to TRY and attempt to hate his guts even more for trying to go after more of our childhood memories, I say let him do it.
I just won't GO SEE THE ABOMINATION and urge as many people as I can to do the same. Rather than trying to stop him from doing something foolish, let him fall flat on his face into a puddle of acid.
You'll be making a louder statement by not supporting his "vision (and I use that term loosely)" than to try and stop him altogether.
