I disagree. The “Average Joe” hasn’t really said much, as the vast majority probably don’t even know about all this hoo-ha. The Average Joe’s you’re referring to are people who run movie news sites and blogs and whatnot. They’re not really Average Joes, either, but just people jumping along for the ride. They exist within the same sphere as Internet fanboys. Also, and it has to be noted, there are a lot of people out there who outright hate Michael Bay, so they'll always jump at the chance to partake in a witch hunt when Bay is involved. I doubt that many of them truly
care about TMNT.
By “Average Joes”, I mean the people who don’t really read movie news sites, post on forums or who know nothing of a film before watching it apart from the trailer. The kind of people that just treats going to the cinema as a night out. Those are the kinds of people that the studios are seeking to capture the attention of. And, reading the script, it really does read like the kind of film that has the potential to do well with the “Average Joes”. All the major ingredients are there.
