Transformers Movie VS Turtles Movie in 2007

NeoBix · 07-15-2005, 03:42 PM

It looks like the new Transformers movie (with Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg behind it) will be butting heads with the new TMNT movie in 2007 for the #1 box office spot.

TRANSFORMERS, ROBOTS IN DISGUISE!

Transformers!! More than meets the eye!! dun dun dunnnn dun dund dunnn!!! Ok, I'll quit singing the theme song now.

Transformers>Turtles.

Period.

Don't shoot me.

*DrSpengler* · 07-15-2005, 05:15 PM

It's sadly true. But hey, as long as they don't open on the same day or anything Turtles still has a chance.

NeoBix · 07-15-2005, 05:23 PM

Yea I was thinking that too Spengler, good point.

and Zarius how could you say such a thing!??! BLASPHEMY!!

I pick TMNT!!

I never really cared for Transformers... though I think the toys are cool.

did see some episodes of power rangers, but i never got into it as i did with turtles.

and i did seen a old movie of the power rangers, god damn, it sucked big time.

hope people will use their heads and watch the new turtle movies instead.

...Who's talkin' about Power Rangers...?

verminator_x · 07-15-2005, 07:38 PM

oh my fault, sorry.

There DO happen to be Power Rangers fans on this forum, and our ability to use our heads is absolutley fine. Whilst I agree with you the first movie was a pile of crap, even when I watched it during MMPR's worldwide popularity, the series has evolved since then, and is nowhere near what it used to be.

And no, I won't see the new Turtles ahead of Transformers, it takes first and formost place in my fandom priorities, that is'nt a case of "not using my head", it's a case of "guess what? I like this franchise BETTER"

Well that's intrestin'. Its also good know that Bubba Ho-Tep is gonna have a sequel. Its gonna be called Bubba Nosferatu. Can't wait the see that in theatres. Hopefully MGM makes the movie. MGM is apparently interested but has no intention of making the movie at this time.

*KROW* · 07-15-2005, 08:47 PM

Hmm... Quite the conundrum.

The Transformers movie released back in the '80s was a big hit, then the turtles came with a successful cartoon and then three movie hits of their own, overshadowing the Transformers.

Then the Transformers came back with a series of cartoon programs that responded well with the audiences. Soon after that, however, those cartoons went away, gone but certainly not forgotten.

Then the turtles returned with a new cartoon series right on the heels of the dwindling of the Transformers' latest cartoon. As the hype and popularity of the TMNT grew and grew, the Transformers sneakingly began another resurgence through comic books.

Now both franchises are clamouring for attention through the big screen, and both have been in the process of it for a while.

I guess you could narrow it down to who's winning in the toyline department, if you want to look at it through the children's eyes. The TMNT are winning the race there. So... perhaps the wider audience will want to see the turtles movie more, since it's the most fresh in their minds.

As for the rest of the moviegoers, two words: double-feature.

*Buslady* · 07-15-2005, 09:51 PM

I'd rather see TMNT than TF...and I like TF...grew up with those.

*Spitfire* · 07-16-2005, 01:10 AM

<*Comment Deleted by Mod*> I hate that show, robots never appealed to me. I mean sometimes they look cool but robots that turn into firetrucks aren't my thing.
With Spielberg behind it Transformers will wipe the floor with TMNT. Not that I expected TMNT to do that well in the box office to begin with. It will either bomb and make no money but still get good reviews becoming a cult classic, or it will get trashed by critics and everyone will go see it >< Either way I'm watching it...so yeah...

Mod Edit:

That was completley uncalled for.

lilonardo · 07-16-2005, 04:18 AM

I am supportin Turtles!

Transformers is good too, so I'm supportin them too!

On the other hand, the Transformers movie opens July 2007, Turtles opens May 2007.

*That Matt Guy* · 07-16-2005, 08:30 AM

I'll probably not pay to watch either one, so.... yeah. But, I'd rather see a Transformers movie than another TMNT film.

Michaelangelo|DAH · 07-16-2005, 08:56 AM

I'm definitely all for TMNT, never really watched Transformers when I was a kid

... the new TMNT movie won't appeal to kids only, will it ?

*BigApple3AM* · 07-16-2005, 06:07 PM

I suggest everyone go see TMNT at the theaters. Yeah we know you can just download it nowadays, but wouldn't it be cool if TMNT made a huge splash at the box office again? It'd be even better if it beat Transformers out (or turned out to be a better movie, either one).

Long story short just go see TMNT in theaters if you're a true fan.

PS Don't give me true fan bullcrap like "just because I don't want to pay $7 in theaters it doesn't mean I don't love tmnt just as much as you" any true fan would support the franchise rather than kill it (illegally I might add).

*Masked Ninja* · 07-16-2005, 07:51 PM

Transformers just weren't something I got into as a kid. Nor Power Rangers (I didn't like the cheesiness and plastic suits. Which is funny to me now... Power Rangers=unbelievable, but dang I liked Turtles! *laughs*)

So I'm definitely going TMNT. *crosses fingers and chants* please please please don't ruin the movie... please make the Turtles be cool...
