Cinemablend predicts the new TMNT Movie to Bomb at the Box Office

I don't disagree with Cinemablend here.

They are not wrong about the 2007 movie. Come on guys, pay attention to the threads here... the 1990 movie is talked about way more than the 2007 one. Even Turtles Forever gets more discussion!!! So for them to say it was forgotten by the fanbase is not thaaaat big of a stretch (and fanbase aside it was certainly forgotten about everyone else :p).

The 2007 movie isn't very good. The turtles looked pretty good. Some of the fights were good. Otherwise it's a total wash. Story is crap. Villains are the very definition of forgettable and generic. And Splinter looked dumb as hell. Those are just my initial thoughts

I could go on!

And you can't ignore that the designs have been very controversial. Every forum I go on that has a thread on the film... it's nonstop trashing on how the 2014 movie turtles look. I'd say bad impressions outweigh good at least 2 to 1.

Meanwhile... other examples of 2014 reboots/redesigns... such as Godzilla? Getting pretty good reception. So it's not just "internet hates everything" syndrome.

I'm not convinced it will bomb... but I'm not predicting a big success.
