Honest Trailers 2014 turtles movie
 

Lol.....Corporate Reboot Cash Grab Turtles.

That's trippy, I was just searching to see if they made one of these a few hours ago. Not their best in terms of presentation/voice, but they definitely hit a lot of the right points.

Most hilarious thing I've seen from this YouTube channel. :lol:

Expected funnier :ohwell: they didn't point out anything we don't already know.

They warned us in their Transformers honest trailer, :lol:.

:D Was hoping it would be a bit funnier, but had been waiting for this one to turn up. I mean how could they not? :lol:

Hilarious.

And yeah, completely true.

EDIT: Oh wait, except for the whole "it's a kid's movie" thing. Once again, kid's movies don't have to suck to be kid's movies.

That was great, but gotta agree with TrickorTreater, this "kids movie" mentality is stupid. Do people hate their kids that much that film's this bad are ok as they're made for kids? News flash - so is Disney, so is Pixar, so is Star Wars! Being a kids film is no excuse for being a bad film. If anything you've got more responsibility to get it right not an excuse to get it wrong/not care.

Oh and I'd happily watch the Ninja Rap on a loop for an hour and a half rather than the 2014 mess so Turtles definitely were "better in my day" (at least on the big screen)

I find this pretty funny lol

I seen this, But they aren't all that amusing, Especially when they are poking fun at a property you loved, But they are just doing this for entertainment purposes anyways.

"That gets the spirit of the main characters right" -- isn't that kind of the most important thing to get right with this movie?

Yes, but it still needs to have a story and a plot that makes some sense.

What if their spirit was right but the entirety of the film featured them having relations with one another atop hot coals & broken glass?

That literally makes no sense.

That wouldn't be them getting the Turtles spirits right in the first place! We are talking about character portrayals.

And yet the Turtles barely even featured in their own bad movie.

Kinda sorta getting the Turtles right on the most basic level doesn't make up for the awfulness of the rest of it.

And I'm not talking about JUST on a filmmaking level. Important Ninja Turtle lore is completely erased in favor of some half-assed, poorly conceptualized and executed made-from-whole-cloth new backstory that makes Megan Fox the holy center of this movie's universe.

Even IDW, in all their origin changing, was able to keep the Saki/Yoshi dynamic.

Yoshi doesn't even exist in this universe. The director made that painfully clear.

And of course, as I mentioned previously, it's a poorly made MOVIE too. The video brought a lot of that to attention though.

I didn't think they got the spirit right anyway. Leo does nothing, Raph is closest to normal but never has a going off on his own because he's pissed at his brothers, Mikey is a creep and Don is way to over the top nerdy.

j/k ;)

Not their best, but still entertaining as usual. Wanna watch the movie again now. :lol:

What. The hell. Is this? :P

My thoughts exactly.
I never even watched the movie. Just the trailer was enough to convince me it was going to suck. Of course some sheeple liked it and blamed everyone who didn't like it for "hating change". But come on. This movie has 0 integrity.

Still better than The Next Mutation though. :P

... don't make me come over there. :trazz:

Honest Trailers. Honest, as always. Fun twist with the kid, though.

They did one for secret of the ooze as well and it is just as hilarious!!!!!!!

Yeah, I saw that too awhile back. "No ninja, no ninja NO!!!" :tlol:

And do what? :lol:

Honestly, the little kid voice with the "You know it's for kids, right?" I've always heard that voice in my head whenever people type the exact same thing to defend it. :lol:

I honestly never looked at any of those Honest Trailers videos before. My wife and I went around watching a ton of the trailers for other movies we like or want to see, and I gotta say, not only are they super-clever, not ONE WORD about any of those movies is wrong. :lol: I almost died watching The Lion King one.

So what if it's poking fun at a property you love? I still love those movies. I love them MORE since I can recognize that they're far from perfect and a lot of those "flaws" are pretty hard to ignore. Usually the good stuff overpowers the bad stuff.

I didn't watch them all, but it seemed like they had to really reach for the Ghostbusters one. That was the only one where it was like they ran out of flaws, especially because it's not even dated visually. All they had was "Casual Smoking" and "They cropped out the Token Black Guy", that one kinda let me down. Just because the rest were such a riot.

In their Guardians of the Galaxy video they actually admitted they were reaching. They even admitted that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a good movie and that they had to resort to nitpicking. :lol:

It happens. :lol: I give 'em credit for trying. They put together a great presentation from all the ones I watched, regardless. Some movies are clearly easier to pick apart than others. The Superman IV one was great. "Seriously... these are all the same shot." :lol:

It's kinda like a roast. Everybody knows these things but it's all in good fun. If ya can't handle your favorite movie or whatever being poked at, jokes on you, ya crab. :P

I'll tie you to a chair and make you watch NM on an infinite loop... Clockwork Orange style! :tlol:

I ain't 'fraid o' no ghost!

Funny as usual ! ... but still love the movie :lol:

Not necessarily and it's certainly doesn't make it okay to get everything else wrong.

Also I'm not sure I agree that it got the "spirit" of the main characters right at all really.

One of them is dead and another has retired. ;)

Well there was that comic where the Turtles teamed up with the Ghostbusters... :twink:

Non-canon. :tcool:

Canon to IDW TMNT actually. It was actually referenced in the main book.

That's comics though my friend. This is a movie thread; different canon. ;)
