Will you Add the New Movie to your DVD/Bluray Collection?
 

This is more of a question to those who found just a few too many inconsistencies with the new movie and overall just didn't like it as there is no doubt those who liked it will add it no questions.

Will you add it to your collection?

I won't be adding it to my collection. This to me is along the lines of next mutation, it's there but I don't want it. I've never added next mutation to my collection nor do I intend to. With this one I can barely even remember it, it was just too freaking fast. Like next mutation it just isn't Ninja Turtles to me, it felt as if they had just been tacked on to a movie that was so poorly written it could have been anything. It also didn't help making them supporting roles in an April O'neil movie.

There were just far too many 'mindless dumb' things in it (I'm working on my own review I'll post it eventually) that I just can't add it to my collection. It doesn't help that the one thing that I truly remember hating in this movie was Raphael. The design should have been a red flag (Leo despite unnecessary bamboo armour clearly got the better end of the deal), to me this is with no doubt the worst Raphael ever and I remember not liking 2K3 Raph to start.

But at least the 2K3 Raph 'seemed' like a meathead who had other colours in him where Gregory Abbey gave him depth and shades which you could hear in his voice. Unfortunately, Alan Ritchson could not. He was a one dimensional meathead through out the entire movie, even when there was supposed to be emotion Alan's voice didn't carry it like the better Raphael's Gregory Abbey, Nolan North, Sean Astin and the #1 Raph of all time who set the bar Josh Pais. It also didn't help he could throw a freaking shipping crate but not move robo shredder and his freaking sunglasses & toothpick defied gravity. Donatello, Leo (Pete Ploszek), Mikey could be better with solid intelligent writing but nothing could save this Raph.

That being said, I think once it becomes available on a stream I will watch it again to see if I'm being too harsh as I quite honestly can't remember much that I liked but for the life of me I just can't put it amongst my collection. I just can't...

How do you guys feel?

If I can get it cheap, or as a gift, yes. It's turtles, can't have an incomplete set. Even if I do wish it never happened.

Not gonna happen.

My opinion on the movie is still "you couldn't pay me to watch that again." So... nope, not a chance.

I'm not a completist about this sort of thing, though. If I hated a specific installment I'm happy pretending it never happened. I collect, but only the parts I enjoy.

Only if I can find it secondhand cheap a few years down the road. No sense in directly giving Bay my money for a disaster.

.......hell no. For the same reason I won't get New Mutation or the Christmas Special. Just hell to the **** no.

Yeah, I'm gonna get it for sure.

I am getting it release day. I can't wait to see it again cause unlike 90% of this forum I loved it

I preordered it, to get that Raph statue. Then I cancelled it.


I'm sure my kid will want it though.

No. I have like no desire to see this again. Maybe I'll catch it on Netflix a few years down the road.

No.

I rather watch the few turtles scenes which are available on you-tube.

Too much Megan Fox for me.

Edit: Oh I actually like this version of Raph...

I've already pre-ordered it on Amazon, so I'm not allowed to answer "no" to this... :lol: But, admittedly, the more I think about this movie, the less I like it. Every time I think about it, I'm reminded that it could have been SO much more than it was.

Agreed. On both accounts.

Ill definitely own this movie.. the day it releases.. I gave it a 7/10 but it is not the worst live-action TMNT movie ever made, in my opinion, and I own them all so bring on the blu ray!! :)

Yeah I'll be getting it on release day. I'll get the exclusive Raph version from Target and I'm still debating the Amazon one because of the Raph statue/figure.

100% Yes! Iv'e not even seen the movie yet, but it's still on my christmas wish list :P
That is of course, if it's gunna be released in the UK by then...

I'll get it, for completion sake. I haven't seen it yet, so it'll be a surprise for me when I watch it.

I'll be picking it up because it was a lot more fun then I thought it would be. It is along the lines of Transformers, while not what we grew up with a new take on something I loved. I can't compare it to any of the other versions, because it isn't them and that would be unfair. As it's own thing it was enjoyable and held to the heart of TMNT. Is it a masterpiece? Of course not. However, it is not nearly as bad as people are harping on it being.

I like the way you think sir. :)

Pfffff.... Nopetinope. I think ill rather get something better instead, like Manos Hands of Fate.

I'd rather settle with having a DVD copy of SOTO than a movie I never saw nor had interest at all, so nope.

And I'm not exaggerating the SOTO part either. I actually found myself enjoying slightly more than my first time watching it on TV.

Probably once I find it cheap.

This explains my plan to actually get the DVD or Blu Ray...on the cheap that is. I have Turtle Tunes, Turtle Christmas and at least the movie cut of East Meets West on VHS (my reason for not picking up NM on DVD is it's edited. I'd like it as it originally aired, please.) As Powder said, it's Turtles...and it's video...I have worse pieces of TMNT A/V media in my collection.

I'll only buy a special "no nostrils" edition if they release it. No TMNT DVD will sit on my shelf with nostrils on the Turtles.

Jester you are hilarious :lol:

I'm starting a petition for an extra-large nostrils edition. Just massive nostrils, from their lips to their eyes. We can do this.

Now that is hilarious :lol: :lol:

If I like it, then yes.

Of course I will. I'm slowly collecting all things TMNT. I'll get it even if I don't like it.

Meh. i'll download it from torrents. Just for the sake of it.
Maybe i'll watch it once, just cause the cam versions are low quality.
It wasn't good enough to be worth spending money on.

For the price it will cost, I could buy a couple packs of smokes and a couple steaks to throw on the barbie.

Guess I have no business in this thread then.

Most likely, but probably via a strongly hinted gift idea.

Throw in a cold virus and it would be a winner for sure, esp with special edition snot bubble print packaging and added in Mikey snot jokes.

It is a TMNT movie so why the hell not?

This is like asking "is water wet"? :trolleye:

Then this one's for you!

Nope. I don't like spending money and having things around me that I don't like, especially when there are so many other great TMNT things that I can have around that I actually like.

Maybe to those who LIKE it. There are still a good amount of people here who DON'T and Truly Believe this isn't TMNT and just a cash grab who are able to objectively state their reasons why without being unnecessarily insulting to other members.

I didn't like it. I've stated why. I won't be buying it. Simple. Agree to disagree but no need for the attitude dude.

I like how all the other movies are almost unanimously decided as.... TMNT 1 the best, TMNT II not as good, TMNT III horrible, TMNT 07 mostly bad except for the Raph vs Leo fight.... but this new one has such a strong divide. I remember 2007 had a bit of a divide too back when it was new, but nowadays most everyone agrees it really wasn't all that good save the Leo/Raph fight.

Kinda assume a few years from now most everyone will look back and see how lame this one was and wonder by the big divide.

He didn't have attitude. He was simply stating that if it's a TMNT related thing that he's buying it. He's not calling anyone out at all.

No need for the sensitivity.

I don't think so.

He could have said is water wet? With excitement not an eyeroll. It's the equivalent of saying what a dumb question. Not being sensitive just calling crap.

Anyway, I don't want to start something but have a look at the difference and you tell me.

This is like asking "is water wet"? :trolleye:

This is like asking "is water wet"? :tgrin:

Clearly they convey different things.

Are we really at the point where we are arguing about the semantic use of an emote?

Kill me now.....
