One film does not make up for all the other weeks that have SUUUUUUUUUUCKED. And that's before the financial standpoint where this has been one of the lowest-grossing years in recent memory.Chessrook44 said:
Watching that send shudders down my spine.
And you gotta love the little quip against our childhood at the end there.
Gods do they look ugly.

As amusing as this was...somehow I still feel apprehensive...like I just saw the best scene in the movie. This is basically the scene they chose to sell us on the movie...the "saving throw" for the last holdouts. It's a pretty good one too, I will admit. However, if this really is "the big scene," then I...dunno.
I'm sure the movie will be fun, I don't know how much staying power it will have. Hell, at least I REMEMBER the first two turtle movies. I can't even remember most of the plot of "TMNT (4)," or anything that happened in any Transformers movies (barring the first one).

That was just horrible. The design of the turtles is awful. Knoxville's Leonardo doesn't sound right at all. The beatboxing bit was mildly amusing but what kind of pacing are they going for that they interrupt the final fight for an impromptu beatboxing session.
I definitely didn't hate this, got a little kick out of the beatboxing session on the elevator. It felt... appropriate.
I like how they physically differentiated the Turtles rather than just all the same with different weapons and masks. I'm not gonna feel bad about seeing this at all. I'm not gonna lie. I know.. it's the coolest thing to automatically hate anything associated with Michael Bay... but that is stupid. He has had plenty of movies, not just Transformers, though people like to ignore that fact.

No harm in your opinion, but every single summer there is someone like you saying that the movies suck so bad this summer. There has never been a summer full of all good movies, people just have a tendency to look back and only remember the good ones. The now colors the past.Aiddon said:
If you aren't gonna see it, cool. If you don't like Michael Bay, cool. But you cannot possibly tell anything about the pacing of the movie in a clip that is 1:47 long. Looks simply to me like they were injecting humor(or at least trying) into the fact that they are sitting on an elevator for 50+ floors. I would imagine they are going to try to put humor into as much of the movie as possible, which I am not against at all. If they do that half as well as they did it in Guardians of the Galaxy, it will be just fine.SomebodyNowhere said:
Aaaaaaawwwww!!!!
When they ran and I saw the hundreds of badguys I was already expecting to relive the old Turtle fighting game from the SNES! Running forward with my brother beating down everything that came in our path!
Well, got a smile out of me with the elevator beatboxing.
Not sure if I'm going to watch this in the theathers, but I am going to watch it sometime, that's for sure.

You know what the character designs looks like? They look... Like some kind of mutant... turtles...
I'm really having no problem with the creature design. They always were bigger than a regular person, and it wasn't a problem in the previous movies or the cartoons. Here at least the muscle mass might make their feats of strength more believable.
Besides... They are turtles! Hardly creatures known for their lean physique!
What bothers me, honestly, is the Shredder and his military foot clan. Power armour? So we've gone from ancient assassin clan and their martial arts expert of a leader to.... Modern military goons and power armour? Hope there's some twists to the concept.
In any case, it is looking like a solid fun popcorn movie to me.

Nope. The setup, interaction, mannerisms etc. work for me.
But I can't get over how BAD the CGI looks. The Turtle design doesn't do it for me (and it's not only the noses... They're way too bulky...), and the Shredder design is too bling.
Sorry. That's going to be one of those movies that I want to like, but simply can't. Well, my loss I guess.

I feel bad but I liked it. No way in hell I'm gonna see this in theaters but it might warrant a redbox rental unlike the transformers movies. Bay is such a massive Manchild that he may be a better fit for a TMNT movie than we give him credit for.
I was thinking of seeing that. Are you one of those people like moviebob who just doesn't like The Expendables, or did they somehow fucked up the third one?Aiddon said:

*drumming fingers*
Yeah, what this guy said. If someone had said 'beatboxing in an elevator' to me I wouldn't've watched it. Having seen it, though, this felt right. And I don't mean right in the sense of "slavishly reenacting the old tv cartoon," I mean this would've been the kind of thing we'd have done when pretending to be them as kids.
Also, I like the distinction between character types. Raph always was the bruiser of the bunch, and I think the changes in character design are ok and not overdone.
Not sure I'll see it in the theater because I don't really do that with much and GotG is waaay higher on my to-see list, but I'll definitely give this a watch at some point - which is more of a chance than I gave any Transformers movie after getting suckered by the first one.
You no what's probably the worst part about this? This movie is probably passable (BARELY), but the whole thing is brought down by our expectations of Michael Bay, even if it's just the role of executive producer.FinalDream said:
P.S. What exactly is an executive producer? I know an in-house game dev producer is usually the man responsible for moving the product along, but isn't the XP just where all the money comes from?
I think Mikey's design looks the most sensible, though that might be only by comparison to the others.
Raph looks like some sort of reptilian gorilla-man, Leo's proportions look all kinds of weird and his shoulder-pads exacerbate the problem, and Donny appears to have received a liposuction treatment so extreme it's warped his shell.
Knoxville sounds so very wrong as Leonardo and sounds worse the more I hear. Maybe it's just me but does Donnatelo's VA sound like the Nostalgia Critic to anyone else?
I liked the lift ('elevator') scene but it was somewhat anti-climatic to have them running out full-battlecry only to then, much more quietly, jump up onto the roof, out of breath. Also the long shot afterwards makes me wonder how high they jumped in order to get onto the roof since there was nothing visible for them to have jumped from.
I'm really surprised no-one has commented on the 'foot-clan' wearing 'brown-face' masks...
