I mentioned TMNT because it would be nice to see a bloody TMNT movie, after seeing some nice blood shots in District 9. And after all, this entire website is in tribute to the TMNT, in case you hadn't noticed, so why not bring up something about the Turtles?. I don't see anything saying that we aren't allowed to talk about TMNT in other threads.

So, I ask you to please back off with the childish insults, it's not necessary. I come here to have fun with people with other interests, not to be made fun or for no reason whatsoever. If you have a beef with me, then send it my PM's and keep it off the message boards.

Nobody mentioned TMNT anywhere. It was just a random ass comment to make.

You wanna whine about R-rated ninja turtles? Please. Go to the TMNT section, you have lots of friends there.

This movie has soured all other movies for me. I'm not trying to praise it as the greatest...who knows what movie that is? But, it is definitely my favorite. All other movies I watch now just feel...less entertaining.

Why, exactly?

Because blood = mature content and good story telling.

This is how I felt. I also felt like they should have picked a different setting for the film. The connection with South African apartheid was too unsubtle and at several points hurt the credibility a little for me.

But hey, you can do a lot, lot worse in terms of summer blockbusters.

I liked it and talked a lot about the ideas and theme walking back home. That's pretty rare.

Wow.

I saw this saturday night. There were plenty of things I hated or that annoyed me. Special effects were great especially considering the small amount they spent. I liked how the origin of the aliens coming to earth was summed up through the documentary and the focus was 20 some years later. That's unique for this type of movie.

I didn't think it was a bad movie, just an alright movie. I can't believe the hype this is getting like it's some kind of masterpiece. I mean a handful of people in here have claimed it their favorite movie of all time. lulz. I guess I should expect that from a board like this.

Hey I never claimed to be the messiah of movies, but am I not allowed to have a favorite movie that isnt....uh...the "godfather" or something at the top of a "best movie" list? lol

It was a great movie, very enjoyable, very intense, and I thought Christopher and his son were very loveable characters...Now for someone raised on 20 years of ...mostly...hollywood scheme's, crap, and raped franchises, I felt that this was a total breath of fresh air. Simply the best time I've ever had in a theater...Now, you or everyone else can dislike it, kinda like it, or disregard it my friend, but lets not forget the term "favorite"

It's not just "people on this board" calling it a masterpiece, it's getting huge critical praise. If you didn't like it, that's fine, it doesn't mean you have to be a douchebag about it.

Saw this on Friday night and enjoyed it. I liked the story as well as the as action and I think a sequel would be neat.

*Brodie* · 08-18-2009, 12:09 PM

I kind of agree with SnackPants. I enjoyed the movie just fine, But it felt strange or weird. Not being entirely sure why I felt that way, I've kept pretty hush about it.

Its an incredibly decent movie, but far from this cinematic powerhouse everyone is touting it as.

Agreed.

I saw it, liked it alright but I wasn't blown away by it at all.

I don't really feel like I was being a douchebag about it. By "board like this" I meant heavy, sci fi loving board. It wasn't meant as an insult.

I do find it humorous you called me a douchebag considering your posts are consistently cold.

*Cure* · 08-18-2009, 04:58 PM

YOU GUYZ, I don't want you two fighting! I love both of you! <3

I like how you went and edited out the part of your post where you called me an asshole.

And for the record, I found District 9 to be a disappointment, I just thought your first post was a bit insulting.

*gobo* · 08-18-2009, 06:01 PM

This movie sucked.[/counteractingthenotentirelyundeservedbutoverexagge ratedasskissingthismovieisgetting]

*Mr. Snackpants* · 08-18-2009, 06:23 PM

On second thought I love this movie.

It's like you're trying to make a constellation out of emoticons.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-18-2009, 06:30 PM

I went to see it after hearing everyone going all "OMG! See it like NOW!"....I thought it was a pretty good film. Not mind blowing but it'll definatly be put on my "buy on DVD when it comes out" list.

Im glad we got to know the aliens (Christopher and his cute son mostly).

I was also warned that the film was not for the squeemish. I laughed when people blew up (especially that Nigerian gang leader). I don't think I've seen that bloody of a movie since Robocop.

The one thing I didn't get was that everyone was saying the events occured 20 years ago. 1982 - 2010 (computer screens and such said that was the year) is not 20 years ago... 28 years ago yes...but not 20.
