What's your honest opinion on Megan Fox?

[CyberCubed]

What do you think about Megan Fox?

I don't think she's a good actress at all, as she was previously a model before she, "fell into" acting and it was only because of her looks. There are some truly talented women out there who can actually act but Megan Fox is not one of them.

In terms of looks, I don't think she looks as good as she did in her early 20's. She had kids, and plastic surgery on her face, so its not really surprising. When I look at her she does nothing for me.

[NinjaPug]

I don't hate her like most of this board does. Are there better actors than her? Of course. There are also worse actors. While my preference for April would've been someone else, I definitely don't hate the choice. There are other actresses that I would've hated.

Personally I first i was super upset with her being cast and yes other Actresses that i and other personally would loved to have sen cast were dismissed in favor for Megan

This make me think something Though (and though this will not hold water to just about anyone on these forums) she was picked over all those actresses. Why? I know what most people will say. But there must have been a reason for her being picked. I will await my final judgment till i see something more concrete.

As with All actors they all tend to have terrible roles listed among great ones. And i understand she hasn't had a standout role yet but there may still be hope.


As for being a model before hand then becoming an actor. There are tones of actors that started out as something other then an actor. And many of them have Become great actors over time.

As far as i have seen though one of my worries was the over sexualization of Megan and so far from what we have seen there isn't much of that and i think that's great. The only Potentially Overly sexualized aspect is her on the trampoline But seeing as she was apart of a news story Unless the have cameras points are her ass i think its fine. Its definitely no transformers, short shorts, tube top, with sweat scene.

[electric_sheep]

she just sucks, plain and simple, she can't act.
she doesn't look that great anymore, she's in the movie only to be in skin tight pants...

[slingtheory]

Honestly I feel like I haven't seen her act enough to judge her as an actress. Every role I've seen her in so far she was cast as nothing but I eye candy. I respect that in a lot of interviews it seems clear that she is aware of that. And for what its worth she was never shy about calling bay out on his crap either. I don't think its a coincedence that she has a lead role in this micheal bay produced movie but maybe they'll give her an actual character to play this time. This might be her chance to prove herself.

My thing is they fired Her the got rid of her she didn't quit, they throw her out and she left on very bad terms and yet she still got this role. I know every looks the to whole sleeping with people thing but really :trolleye: That just over blown just because shes considered "pretty" and "overly sexual" mean she has to sleep around with people. I mean i could be wrong but there something else there that we just dont understand yet. Im hoping she preforms the crap out of this role and prove everyone wrong.

[TurtleTitan97]

Not a fan of the casting at all, but it's still better than Fitcher as Shredder, so at this point I'm okay with it.

[Donatello19]

I don't know...I don't hate her, but I'm not a fan of her either...

[Powder]

Not a fan of her acting & looks-wise she's vastly overrated.

[TrickOrTreater]

She's hot. That's about it.

[tmntmikey23]

i not a fan of her but we only can see how she is right but if it was up to me someone more younger and has no children should be playing the part my (option) i like the turtles actors but the foot clan not to much shredder might be good but still have to see the promo

[pdizzle]

I don't know...I don't hate her, but I'm not a fan of her either...

This for me, and as far as her being hot, she was in the tf movies but everything else she was in she just looked like she had a drug problem......

Do you really have a problem with her playing April because she has children in real life?

[Donatello19]

I personally don't think she's that attractive. She's not ugly, but I don't think she's as hot as everyone makes her out to be.

What actually matters is if her acting will be any good. And judging by her previous roles, I'm not expecting too much...

[Jester]

Meh . . .

[Anton Chigurh]

She's hot. That's about it.

Your only post that I agree with

[Walkabout]

She's very easy on the eye.

On the other hand, I think she is an abysmal choice to play April and I have not seen any evidence that she can act her way out of a wet paper bag.

[Anton Chigurh]

I speak my mind. I'm not afraid of clowns. It's one thing to state the obvious that Megan Fox isn't a great actress. We're all in agreeance. It's equally blashpemous to even insinuate she isn't sexually attractive to any red blooded heterosexual male. As if OP and his 15,000+ posts wouldn't jump at the chance to be with her. Pffft.

Totally agree, any straight guy that says that he wouldn't "hit" that is a goddam liar.

Whoa guy. I don't want you to think I'm saying she slept with bay to get the role. Its probably just that they made up and he offered her the part because they've worked together before. She got the role not because of her acting ability but because she knows bay is what I'm saying. Even still I think she might be ready to try to prove people wrong. I imagine she knows what people think of her and she wants to show them what she can do. At least I hope so.

I was really referring to you exactly but I get what your saying but i think the extent in which the they know each other so that how the got the job it a bit of a stretch. Especially since they parted on such bad terms.

He made her wash his car as her Transformers audition.

When asked about the footage, he said he has no idea where it is.

[CowabungaMikey]

They just choose her in Transformers because she's pretty. They just choose her for TMNT because she was in Transformers. I don't really like her.

[Shark_Blade]

She's hot and her acting is fine, never had a problem enjoying her performance. She can hold her own on screen. :tcool:

And she draws! Respect for fellow artist. :D

In the movie...she better either show her tits to Raph. Show her ass to Mikey. Or go the F Home. Because that's the only talent she has...


(Well, it did say 'honest opinion' on it.)

[Candy Kappa]

I do not care for her "acting" abilities, she needs some tutoring. At least she isn't as bad as Kristen Stewart or Shia Lebouf. But, that isn't a very high bar.

Even better if she showed them to Ralph

[chrisdude]

I don't care for her. As an actress, I've never seen her try. Maybe she can pull it off, I just haven't watched her in a role that demanded anything of her.

As eye candy, nah. She would be a pretty girl on the bus, but in the realm of Hollywood actresses, I don't think she's so hot. When people do that thing they do here, where they rattle off the names of every actress who's ever had red hair, suggesting they play April, I think they're all better looking than Megan Fox. Emma Stone, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Olsen, Amy Adams...

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

My honest opinion?

I have one word for you:

Meh.

It's not the worst thing that could have happened to this movie.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Yeah, i think that Anna Kendrick would have been better for the role.

She certainly looks better.

[ObiWanFan4life]

My honest opinion?

I have one word for you:

Meh.

It's not the worst thing that could have happened to this movie.

Yeah, that's a fair assessment. It's what I like to call "The Jessica Alba Effect". Whereas many people disliked Jessica Alba in movies (the Fantastic Four movies especially) for not being an actress. But after a while, people stopped caring and left it be, which I feel is happening to Megan Fox right now.

[HeroTurtlesFan]

Well, the only things I've seen her in are that old sitcom "Hope and Faith" and the Transformers movies...

But I like her just fine. Certainly not holding any kind of fanboy vendetta. She looks good in the few shots we've see from the new movie, so I am more than willing to give her a chance in this.

[Lou 500]

There were so many other choices but it just feels like she was picked because she was in Transformers and is Bay's favorite.

[TurtleMikey]

Megan Fox is a fine actress.

Much better than people give her credit for. And really underrated due to her looks.

I think she'll do fine as April; a role she campaigned for.

[BubblyShell22]

Not a fan of hers at all. I'm leery about her being April, but I guess I'll just have to see the movie first before I can really judge how she portrays her. Still not happy about it.

[d3m01iti0n]

April to me is an Irish-looking redhead. As far as Megan Fox is concerned, I have no clue if she can act. She is typically cast as eye candy, and shes not my type. I mean I wouldnt throw her out of bed but you know what Im saying. Now Christina Hendricks on the other hand......

Well of course. If Megan Fox offered herself to any of us we would all probably f*ck her but that's besides the point.

I've always seen April as more "cute" than "hot" in all previous series. April is a girl next door, she's never been the hot babe.

Quoted for truth. Thats how I see her.

[Kurai]

Not a fan of the fact she's in the movie. She's not an actor, and is clearly only there for eye candy. It shows how little faith that Platinum Dunes have in this franchise that they don't even bother to get a decent actress to play April.

[Slade]

I've only seen her in Transformer's. I thought she was kinda hot. Nice body. I think she was had a prettier face before. Can she act? Ehh...nah. Do I want or think she will be a good April? NOOOOOO!!!!

[plastroncafe]

From the interviews I've seen of her, and read, I think she's intelligent and a genuinely nice person.

...

OH! You want to talk about how much you want to bang her, and her worth as a bangable object. Oh, well. I'll just leave you to your objectification then.

I know, right? I mean its Megan Fox in a Michael Bay movie, we should talk about her chances at winning another Oscar to place upon the mantle with her numerous other acting awards. Im sure the scream/faint she will inevitably make when she first meets the Turtles with be full of gusto and really draw the audience into her plight.

[UGHShellshocked]

I personally can't get a read on her when it comes to acting skills but lets face it she will probably get an Oscar before Leo does.

[plastroncafe]

No we don't.

[the fixer]

Never been a big fan of the typical Hollywood bimbos. Unless they were in Baywatch. :p

Seriously, she wasn't in my top 100 of actresses I would've liked to see as April.
So I was pretty flabbergasted when they cast her. Especially after that whole deal of Fox comparing Mickey Bay with Hitler...
Oh well. we'll see...
It could be worse. They could've gone for Paris Hilton.

[Candy Kappa]

I don't think he is clever enough to grasp that...

[ShindoNinja]

Hot or not, fox is horrible in everything I have seen her in. I would honestly rather see someone like Emma Stone cast as April... not because I think she is more attractive, I just think she would fit the part better.

[tmntmikey23]

No we don't.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

If Megan Fox did an interview in which she could convince me that she actually was a true, bona fide fan of these characters (like she knew of the comics, the old movies, and more) and took this role because she was Passionate about playing April O'Neil (instead of 'hey, I know Michael Bay. Here I am'), then maybe I would give her a chance (does it sound superficial? Yes. Does that still say she has great acting talent? No. But me knowing that she 'Gives a Crap' would help a little bit...at least for me.)

It just seems like most people working on this project are because they were pals of Michael Bay, or just for the Money. And it seems that everyone involved would just go "oh yeah, that one cartoon from the 80's, right? Sure I remember that."

Sure, passionate people doesn't always equal 'great movies'. But, hey, prove us wrong and say 'hey we actually want to do this because we Love these characters' instead of 'hey, we can make some $$$. Cool.'

That would be refreshing.

Sooo, you see nothing wrong with the thread basically degrade into how much Megan is worthy of being spank material. it is really creepy seeing people only care about her looks as if she was a plaything and not an actual person.


It's good to know most people priorities about April O'neil as that they can fap to her, instead of having a decent performance for a movie. Yoga Trampoline away! :roll:

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Megan Fox was done with Bay after Transformers 2. Had a huge, public falling out. She got the role because she is a self proclaimed turtles fan. It's probably from the cartoon, and toys like most people. But hey, that's still a fan. Why would she have to be versed in all the different iterations to be considered a fan?

She sought out the role because she liked the material. Same way Christian Bale was a fan of Frank Miller's Batman, and sought out the role in the reboot.

But who says you have to be a fan of the literary character to do it justice?

Heath Ledger went on record saying he didn't read comics, didn't like them, liked Jack's performance in Batman '89, and enjoyed Batman Begins. He had interest in taking on the role even though he wasn't a self proclaimed "fan" of the Batman mythology.

Results? The best Joker ever. You don't have to be a fan to do something justice either is what I'm getting at.



First, the Heath Ledger comment is pointless. You said it yourself "he enjoyed a previous film as well as Jack's performance in Tim Burton's flick". So that means he was versed in Batman in some way/shape/form (I never said it had to be STRICTLY the comics, now did I?).

I have never heard her say that she was a 'big turtles fan' so not sure what you mean. And even if she said that, did she mean it or was she full of it (because yeah, no one has ever stretched the truth in Hollywood.)

And when did I say that 'she would do it justice?' In fact, I doubt she could ever do it justice (and yes, even for a character like 'April') because she consistently has shown a poor lack of delivering dialogue in a believable manner, and is simply a weak actor that is only getting jobs strictly from looks (from seeing the Transformer films, Jennifer's Body, & Jonah Hex...to me personally it proves that she isn't a great actor at all).

I think my whole point is I would ease up on her if I knew she was doing this for some kind of passion instead of just a paycheck. Not that she'd be 'Great.' Not that "oh she is a fan, okay she will be Okey Dokey!' But 'ah okay, she actually gives a damn about it other than the big bucks."

I know, 'shame on me' for thinking that.

Dude, it's just Megan Fox. We're not discussing a talented or intelligent woman here. She was hired to be a piece of meat and that's what we see her as.

She has children now so perhaps she should retire instead of sticking her not-so-great curves on camera screens anymore. After all she belongs in the kitchen and should take care of the children.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

I mean you're a huge Stallone fan, he can't act particularly well either. But her serves his purpose.


Sylvester Stallone has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a little film called Rocky. Plus he has acted his ass off in films like Cop Land, Lock Up, and more.

So yeah, I DO think he can act pretty damn well.


And people are being melodramatic because they DON'T think the film will have the Turtles front and center. That they won't be the focus of the film.

They think that she will be the main focus of the story and the main focus of the film. And no one has said otherwise (and the reason people think that are because it has happened in the past...for example the humans in the Transformers being the main focus and the Transformers themselves being put in the background).

[UGHShellshocked]

They could always give us the olde Texas switch and recast April by the 2nd film.

IN all seriousness, from what people say about here who actually meet her she is a very nice Lady, And pretty funny. Amc guys have meet with here and have a lot of positive things to say about her most of which had next to nothing to do with her looks So i agree with you original statement

Cubed is obviously just a troll and rude to boot.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Meh, not much range in any of those roles. Hell, that guy from Captain Phillips got nominated for essentially being himself, a Somolian.

I'll be blunt. If you really don't think that there is a range from playing Rocky Balboa to playing John Rambo (who are two completely different characters & performances) let alone playing a character like Freddy Heflin in Cop Land (another completely different performance), then you simple don't know what you are talking about.

I thought i was commonly known that She was A comic nerd one reason she wanted to work on transformers was because she was a fan, shes also been known to love many other comic books.

[UGHShellshocked]

I feel like Sean Connery when it comes to Megan Fox

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bMKKv2PDM8

I don't think shes been offered that role that she can really show her acting chops in and lets face it in most of her projects she has just been there for the eye candy and nothing more.

Really guy? I find Megan Fox to be entirely overrated and not at all my ideal April or pretty much any other woman, but the woman is still deserving of some freakin' decency. She's a human being after all. Just because you see her as a vapid sex symbol doesn't change the fact that she's still very much human and has...you know...feeling and dignity.

Then again...I'm not even sure you're not a robot trying to understand humanity...so maybe you genuinely DON'T understand.

[Warhorse]

Well, I like her. She has potential (we seen it in Love the Way you Lie) and really, she's no better or worse than the other Aprils. And hell, her replacement in TF3 was a step backwards, not forwards. Could we have has a more fitting April, sure (I think the girl from GI Joe 2 would have been better) but it is what it is.

Eh, sometimes it's fun to **** with them at their own game. It's so easy.

[Lone Ranger Ninjutsu]

Well, while I hold no grudge against Megan Fox, who, in full honesty, I view as a very attractive woman, I still think this is a miscast.
I don't think she has the acting ability to play a variety of characters. While April O'Neill isn't exactly complex, she is definitive, and it can be a struggle to nail down a character that is so well defined for any actor or actress.

Megan Fox, in no matter what movie she is in, to me will always just be "Megan Fox." I always find myself forgetting the name of the characters she plays because they all seem to blend together in every film she's in. Partially because of bad writing, sure, but primarily due her poor acting skills.

I can assure you that the reason why I won't be able to see Megan Fox as April is NOT because she is a recognizable celebrity. When a talented actor and/or celebrity like Jeff Bridges plays in a particular role, I'm always able to identify the character he plays while the actor himself fades from memory in reference to his role. The reason is due of course to Jeff Bridges convincing performance. So when I watch True Grit, I don't see Jeff Bridges, I see Rooster Cogburn.
My main point being that I'm afraid that whenever I watch the new TMNT movie, I won't view April O'Neill as April O'Neill, and instead I'll view her solely as Megan Fox playing Megan Fox.

[CyberCubed]

The funny thing is Megan Fox terribly dates the movie. Years from now when we look back on it we'll say, "Wait, Megan Fox used to actually be the, "it" girl?"

[Jester]

You mean like Vanilla Ice and Cory Feldman...

[CyberCubed]

At least Vanilla Ice gave us a catchy song. What will Megan Fox's legacy in the TMNT fandom be?

[plastroncafe]

More relevant than yours?

[CyberCubed]

More relevant than yours?

If only I was in the movie as an extra. :cry:

[Cure]

I'm alright with Megan Fox.

[chrisdude]

We've read interviews with Fitchner and Ritchon, all of which we've analyzed and criticized to death. It is very likely that Megan Fox, and perhaps another cast member, will do a late-night show, leading up to release. And we can put Megan Fox's comments on the spit, then.

Also,

Michael Keaton > Christian Bale

[Jester]

Also,

Michael Keaton > Christian Bale
So....
Judith Hoag > Megan Fox?

I'm confused...

[chrisdude]

So....
Judith Hoag > Megan Fox?

I'm confused...I just like Keaton's Batman...

[BabyTurtles]

I don't mind her. I think someone else could have probably represented April better, but I don't mind Megan Fox :) she might turn out to be a great April~

[raph27]

Michael Keaton > Christian Bale
Yes. Thank you, sir. Finally someone agrees with me. :D:lol:

[plastroncafe]

For good reason, his is the superior Batman.
(Second only to Conroy)

I'm with Lone Ranger: We haven't seen a whole lot of range out of Megan Fox, there's some good stuff in "Jennifer's Body" but over all she gives a Megan Fox like performance.

Not a bad thing in and of itself, as there are plenty of actors in Hollywood who do the same. Sandra Bullock, Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise...just to name three.

But...there's more to a bad performance than an actor's ability to act. They're really only as good as their script and the direction they're given.

Take January Jones for example.
She's amazing as Betty Draper on "MadMen" but...was no where near as nuanced as Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class."

[TrickOrTreater]

Keaton was the best live action Batman.

Until Nolan/Bale came along.

Then we finally got a Batman that is the closest to how a Batman should look/think/move/act and feel.

And I say this as someone whose first movie in theaters EVER was Batman'89, who then became a lifelong Batman fan and who knows the entirety of the Burton Batman movies(as well as the Schumacher movies) by heart.

That's all I'll say on that.

[pdizzle]

I just like Keaton's Batman...

i very much agree with this.....

Megan was considerably better in Jennifer's Body then TF 1 & 2 and Jonah Hex. It seemed she had maybe more fun in it.

But who wouldn't have fun playing a devil may care demonic villain character.

[Vicky82]

I don't no who else was rumored to play April and I didn't pick any one in my opinion that I would like to play April.

It did surprise me she got the part because I thought she retired from acting after the issues during Transformers 3. I'm not a Megan Fox fan, I don't think much of her but there are actresses worse than her so It doesn't bother me that she's playing April. I rather see a well known actress playing April than a unknown actress.

I'll judge her performance when I watch the film.

[TrickOrTreater]

I rather see a well known actress playing April than a unknown actress.

What? Why?

And these women were also up for the role:

Jane Levy
Anna Kendrick
Elizabeth Olsen

[Vicky82]

Well just going by if i've heard of them, how much experience they have and what movies they been in.

I've never heard of Jane Levy, Anna Kendrick and Elizabeth Olsen i've even looked them up on IMDB and haven't seen any of there tv shows and movies.

[Lone Ranger Ninjutsu]

Voice acting isn't on the level of real acting. Apples and oranges.

I disagree. It's on an equal level.
Think about it. In "real acting" as you call it, the actor is able to use his body, face, etc. All of their natural assets. A voice actor? They have to encompass all their range and emotion with only their voice. It's absolutely acting. There should be no distinction between the two.

[Redeemer]

Michael Keaton > Christian Bale

I actually prefer Christian Bale, Michael Keaton just wasn't that memorable. The one thing I like that Christian bale did that no other movie batman did was he altered his voice when playing Batman and Bruce Wayne. Christian Bale's reasoning was bc Batman and Bruce Wayne are two different people.
Also it always bothered me when Bruce Wayne and Batman had the same voice, I mean come on if some here hears Bruce Wayne and Batman speak they will put two and two together, but it would be more difficult to put together with Christian Bale's voice altering.

[Vicky82]

Yeah and there's a saying 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't know'

(Sorry to everyone who think my opinions are strange and have bad grammer and spelling it's because i'm dyslexic)

[TrickOrTreater]

Yeah and there's a saying 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't know'

This makes no sense.

You'd rather have a bad actor you've heard of play a character rather than a good actor you haven't heard of?

[plastroncafe]

They all did varying degrees of voice/pitch modulation to differentiate between Bruce Wayne and Batman.
It's just that Bale's sticks out because of how outlandish it is.

Hands down, no question: Bale is the best Live Action Bruce Wayne we've had to date.

But his Batman...leaves a bit to be desired.
Of course I'm biased, the hamfisted romantic plot ruined the first movie for me. The second was should have been two movies, and the third was just ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, there are great things in all three.
Hathaway's Selina Kyle
Ledger's Joker
Morgan Freeman is always awesome.
Bale's Bruce Wayne.

But I wouldn't call them solid movies from beginning to end.

[Vicky82]

This makes no sense.

You'd rather have a bad actor you've heard of play a character rather than a good actor you haven't heard of?

Ok forget everything I've said, you are putting pressure on and it's getting me frustrated so it ends up harder and harder to explaine.

[Candy Kappa]

guy who did the new Dredd. .

o yes, a Bale imitator, except its completely different.

Dredd have a lot more natural sounding voice, it sounds real and believable, its his normal 24/7 voice, while Bale's Batman sounds like someone trying a bit too hard.

But, Bane in Rises takes the cake, eats it and eats Bale's cake while giving him a Glasgow kiss. Man, every time he spoke the movie became a non stop giggle-fest

[Walkabout]

As a hardcore Batman fan. Ummm, Absolutely not. Keaton is in firm 2nd place.

1) Bale's Batman Begins performance
2) Bale's The Dark Knight performance
3) Bale's TDK Rises performance
4) Keaton's Batman '89 performance
5) West's '66 caricature Batman performance.

The rest of them were garbage. Bale wins ALONE on shouldering a larger portion of the films burden by being the primary screen time holder, with the weight of the film being held up by his acting chops.

Yes, including his over looked performance in TDK, which is subtle and is the glue or anchor that allows Oldman, Eckhart, and Ledger to bounce their performances off of ...

Bale shows way more dedication to the role, nuance and enthusiasm for the subject matter. He had more range in the performance, at times playing like 4 or 5 different sides, or eras of Bruce Wayne's life.

It's no contest. I don't care if people find reason to nit pick his Bat growl voice. The character is over the top theatricality, so the voice makes more sense to me than a faint whisper. The character has always been described or portrayed as having a grizzly Clint Eastwood on steroids voice.

Keaton BTW totally phoned in his performance for Batman Returns. For the Conroy fans? Voice acting isn't on the level of real acting. Apples and oranges.

Bale has the intensity of Keaton, while also having the physicality he lacked. Greater respect for the source material. And actually displayed the various sides to Bruce Wayne. The playboy guise, the sincere Bruce Wayne, the theatrical Bat beast guise, etc. Plus a tortured, angry young man. And a depressed, death wish ridden older man past his prime.

Bale > Keaton, hands down. That's saying something because I like Keaton, Batman '89 was the first movie I saw in theaters and along with TMNT '90 were the only VHS I completely wore out as a child. Those films define my childhood.

Bale's Batman is the Emperor's New Clothes, Keaton all the way.

I laughed my ass off every time Bane spoke in TDKR too...Nolan's movies are way overrated.

[TurtleMikey]

And yet they're all good actors.

Megan Fox isn't.

Out of curiosity, how many Megan Fox's movies have you seen, outside of the Transformers films?

[samxsteal]

My condolences. :P

[MajorViolence]

I used to defend Megan Fox, saying it was unfair to judge her acting skills based off of her role in Transformers, because she wasn't so much a character as a breathing sex doll, so we never got a real opportunity to see her act. Then I saw Jennifer's Body and Jonah Hex, and I suddenly realized That actually was all she had to offer. She's very sexy, but has no talent.
