Gas or Hope
 

What is that feeling in your gut about TMNT 2 so far?

So that really was meant how I thought... lol

Hmm... presently I'm going to have to go with light indigestion.

More like Indigostion.
I'm so sorry.

:tlol: Har har. It's a rare condition.

Uh well, here are my thoughts on it. It's probably going to suck. Visually speaking, TMNT fans might enjoy the designs of several characters better this time around and the cinematography might just look like just another action movie, so I'm fine with that.

What worries me is the writing, the director might be new but it still has the same writers (minus one) from the last movie, and we all know how that was a little too "inspired by" the Amazing Spider-Man and the Wolverine. That was especially shameful considering that not only did it take from really recent films, TMNT had plenty of material to adapt on it's own, there was no need to copy from something else or at least not to that extent.

Also, I fear this new movie might also take the worst part of the Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, the build up of too many plot threads and/or characters. In addition to the nine major characters returning, we'll have at least five new characters coming into the picture. This could lead to yet another cluster **** movie...

The inclusion of MORE characters that I like into a sequel to a movie that sucked balls, that is bringing back everyone except the director, gives me absolutely zero hope.

I have less hope than I did after Bay announced the Turtles would still be mutants before the first film started filming.

Zero hope.

Like I've taken one too many laxatives.

Explosive diarrhea, the burning kind that makes you pass out in pain.

There is no hope for this movie its still the same production crew and writers from the first one. They never owned up to any of the problems the movie had in the first place. If anything the only reason we are getting Ninjas and other mutants in this movie because the higher ups at Viacom weren't happy with the toy sales of the last movie.

Its a giant toy ad for ids and that not always and bad thing if you have a competent staff but the first movie proved that we didn't.

You know, that's something that I'm curious about. How well did the merchandising for this movie preformed? I hardly see anybody carrying anything related to this movie.

As for me, well, it's really hard to say. There are some things that look to be an improvement (hopefully a more active Shredder, a new Karai, an interesting choice for Baxter Stockman, the foot clan as ninjas) but there are still other things that bother me (the overcrowded cast of characters, basketball player cameos, a Victorious Secret model, April not getting a recast). I want to say that I am curiously optimistic but with the same writers and producer, it's hard to get my hopes up.

I'm probably aiming for it will be slightly better but not by much.

First movie was great fun, this one looks even better and crazier! Can't wait. :)

ditto to be sure

First one was great, this one looks even greater! :tlove:

Gas or hope..weird options.

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy, but I'm somewhere in that zone~
But for the first time in forever~[/Frozen]

Hope it is.

Oh, you get that, too? I thought it was just because I had too much dairy products.

I have hope it'll be another fun summer popcorn flick. Hoping for anything beyond that from Platinum Dunes is unrealistic/pointless.

I have hope that it will be more enjoyable than the first one, which isn't saying much. At the very least, Bebop and Rocksteady antics should keep me entertained.

I think this one will definitely be an improvement over the first. But I'm not sure by how much.

And I thought I am the last movie lover online :lol:

Everything so far looks like a huge improvement! Can´t wait to see the first pictures of the turtles!

I'm just so curious about them,too. :) Do you think they will change the design?

About the movie... I have mixed feelings. At first, I found the TMNT movie good and interesting but later the good emotions just faded somehow. I got aware of some mistakes of the movie and... I don't know what to expect. I have positive feelings, tough. :)

I would say no. They will most likely stay the same, but to save a little time for the people who make the animation, they can cut some of the "extras" they wear, for example dons ridiculous amount of tech stuff on his back.
