Fans' opinion of a new reboot
 

Do you think there is anyway we can reach out to Viacom/Nickelodeon about a proper reboot of the TMNT movie franchise? Like a mirage style movie like the first one. I feel that we are in an age where fans are more vocal and have a say on what we would like.

I doubt it, honestly.

yea...don't pay to see the second one...like at all...pretty much just dont go see it or watch anything about it

There's no financial incentive for the studio to make a movie to cater to a small, and shrinking, niche market. Especially one with an effects-laden premise like TMNT.

Best we can hope for is a fan film of some sort.

No because I don't think Nick has any say in the movie since Platinum Dunes is the one doing it. As The Boston Ninja Turtle said, the best way to be vocal about it is to not buy the DVD and to not see the sequel.

Do they understand what a proper reboot is though. The Nick show has done pretty well, at least in terms of the kind of version it's aiming to be, so not everyone with Nick is clueless, but with a movie... I dunno, somehow I have a feeling a lot of their role has been to just sign off on things and give their ok while letting film makers do whatever they please as long as it doesn't seem incredibly absurd (like aliens). With a big name like Bay in there they prob just let him and the rest of his team do what ever.

IMO fan power is prob more effectively aimed at pushing for better with the sequel. To keep that slight sting from criticism of the first still present enough they may be a bit more mindful this time. Even those who are in love with the first film still could help the next by acknowledging their own negative points alongside the positive.

The 2014 TMNT movie is officially the most successful movie of 2014 combination of theater, dvd, and digital sales. There is zero chance they blow it up and start over.

Um....Ok....Where'd this come from? Guardians did 2x as much as TMNT. Heck, theatrically speaking, TMNT is #13 in box-office receipts for 2014. It'd have to trounce several films claim that spot. Heck, online estimates for Frozen at $161,380,104 in DVD sales and another $146,646,441 in Blu Rays for a total of $308,026,545. I'm sure that flick is killing home video sales.

I don't think that's right. At all.

Yeah, I imagine Platinum Dunes is pretty pleased with the money the first film generated. I doubt we'll see another film reboot for at least another decade.

I'm loving this. Couldn't be funnier if it was scripted.

This is such a non-thing and they're trumpeting it as if it is the crown jewel of 2014.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Can't stop laughing at how absurd and incorrect this statement is.

Source on this please.

No reboot for another 20 years. Or 24 years to be precise. Anyway, most peopl love it judging from the sales.

We're doing fine as is now, loads of enhancement and improvements can be made in the sequel for sure. Maybe introducing new technology technique. It's not surprisng how sequels can be better than the orignal i.e. like Terminator 2, Toy Story 2, etc.

This.. sorry man.. give it another 25 yrs or so

As a fan of the new movie and excited for the sequel, I don't want a new reboot.

Yeah, I don't want another reboot either, And I was fine with the new film, Its just I'm not one of those super hardcore fans, that only likes one thing, I'm very open, and appreciate all incarnations of TMNT.

If people give you **** for liking something, that they do not like, Just ignore them and move on.

It was apparently the most Feminist movie of 2014, according to Forbes.
So I guess it has that going for it?

Makes one wonder if the was another TMNT movie that I've missed...

Or just how bad the rest of the movies that came out this year really were...

2014 couldn't have been THAT bad...

Shut the f*ck up.

I'm so sick of THIS bullsh*t.

Not for another 20 to 25 years.... just how old do you think some of us want to have to be by then? :lol: I don't even want to think about it.

Someone just make more decent movies between now and then, doesn't have to be reboots, I don't want to wait until I'm legit old. lol

And there's the evidence.

When you like something that someone else doesn't, They result to yelling and saying expletives.

These are the kinds of things you have to ignore.

Jesus christ, evidence of what? What are you talking about? You don't even know.

remember when even bad movies were a fun experience


and movies where made by people who actually cared

TMNT is a money making brand, especially when you push the spectacle angle. Of course it made money, but it made nostalgia money. You can only go to the well once if you screw up, and they screwed up.

If TMNT was the only superhero flick in 2016, it would do ok. Since it's not, and they're being cheap, well...

Oh look who just signed on. This should be fun and hard to read.

No, you're one of those fans that like anything if it has the name TMNT on it.

I consider myself a "super hardcore fan" as you put it but I'm very open to any incarnation of TMNT especially if the people behind it care about the franchise (see Nick show/IDW). In fact, this PD movie is the only version of TMNT that I legitimately hate. It has no redeeming qualities in my eyes. The people behind it don't give a **** about the characters or mythology. All they care about is $ and thanks to fans like you they got what they wanted.

That doesn't sound like your open at all, You gotta be a fan of all things, TV, Movies, Video Games, Comics.

Exactly.


Yeah, I TOTALLY only love one version.

That one version being the original cartoon, the original movies, the 2003 cartoon, the 2007 movie, and the new cartoon.

Totally not open to new iterations of the Turtles as long as they're good.

It's bullsh*t apologist speak for liking a sh*t movie. "Oh teh movei isnt bad, you jus a HATER lol :trolleye::trolleye::trolleye:"

See?

I'm not open because I don't blindly accept a poor movie simply because it has the TMNT name on it?

That's not being open. That's being a sheep.

Zero chance it'll take that long. Especially these days, established franchises don't get to lie dormant for long if there's any money to squeeze out of them. We'll be seeing a reboot pretty soon after this iteration has run its course.

I'm not expecting a Mirage adaptation necessarily, but if they do want to go in a different direction for the next go-round, taking more cues from the comics would be the smartest option. This movie series is bound to be remembered poorly, so I can see them wanting to "Batman Begins" the next round to give it a shot in the arm. Fingers crossed.

So alla y'all - if you want to see that happen sooner than later, please stop giving Platinum Dunes your hard-earned money. :twink:

Check your own post that he was replying too, homie. You took condescending shots at people and dropped a "****" yourself.

Glass houses... :trolleye:

That's not what open-mindedness means at all, though. Being open means you're willing to consider something on its own merits and give it an honest chance. A lot of people approached this movie with an open mind and tried to give it a chance, and wound up hating it because it was a bad movie.

What you're describing is putting on the fan-blinders and liking everything regardless of quality, just because it's a part of the property. Which is actually crazy closed-minded itself - you're not open to seeing the flaws in anything. Open-mindedness goes both ways, negative or positive. If you've got a bias toward being positive about everything, that's not being open-minded at all.

You don't have to be a big lover of all TMNT stuff to be a "real" TMNT fan. Someone who is open will try said TV shows, video games, and movies, but might not necessarily like them.

Do all Star Wars fans have to love the Star Wars Holiday Special to be open?

Friggin' hypocrites.

I don't like a lot of the things about the movie, especially poor creative descisions the 'learning martial arts from a book' thing. But I DO NOT want a reboot. I do want bay gone, I do want a new writing and directing and producing staff, and I want a 'GI Joe retaliation'-style continuation moving away from the first one's mistakes, but I 100% DO NOT want to sit through another origin AGAIN! Give me Bebop and Rocksteady, and Krang and the technodrome! Retelling the Shredder story again just to get the 'cycle of vengeance' B.S. incorporated? No thanks, I won't be getting a ticket!

Some people just needs to learn to deal with it, This new version of TMNT, The TV Show, and the new Movie, Are aimed at a new generation. Some people just don't like change.

you do realize by just accepting you do more harm to your beloved franchise

JESUS

You do realize there are people here who hate the movie but love the cartoon right?

Or does that just not fit your personal bias?

I love the new cartoon and the new movie, Its made for a new generation, Your just trying to instigate things, For that I'm just gonna ignore and move on.
