Your opinion on Megan Fox being cast as April? - Page 2

*TurtleTitan97* · 01-11-2014, 08:50 PM

Can't say I like it. There are honestly much better actresses out there than her. But, whatcha gonna do?

*BubblyShell22* · 01-12-2014, 08:04 AM

Not a fan of hers at all, but I'll reserve judgment until I see her actually playing the role in the theater.

*Zachatello00* · 01-12-2014, 08:34 PM

Wait, Megan Fox was cast as April? What? This is the first I've heard of/reacted to this on the technodrome forums.

Are you being serious? This news has been known for almost a year now.

Hey, don't knock it. I bet that was a year of blissful ignorance.

She can play the "whore" like no other but I don't think she has that type of acting needed to play April or play a different range of character I believe. Plus all the other live action Aprils ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE APRIL. She's just her usual self. The one good thin is will arenett looks almost exactly like Vernon. Although I don't like his new brave persona I can deal with it.

*plastroncafe* · 01-12-2014, 11:11 PM

I'm more disappointed with Fox agreeing to work with Bay again, than I am with her being April.

I quite like Fox, and with a decent director and script I think she'll be fantastic.

Now we just need a decent director and script...

Although I have yet to see her range. Every roll I've seen is the same type of role. She's the "whore" or the sex symbol like the chick everyone wants to get with. She's excellent in that but I just can't see it.

*plastroncafe* · 01-13-2014, 12:14 AM

Can't see what? Her as April? You will soon. Though I would appreciate it if you wouldn't use the word whore. Unless of course, you are referring to a project in which she actually plays a sex worker.

Megan Fox never got any roles for her acting skills. She only gets them for her sex symbol status.

Although as I said, i don't think she's even that attractive anymore. She seems well past her prime. I don't even think she's pretty at all.

*Shark_Blade* · 01-13-2014, 02:04 AM

She's still pretty hot to me.

Konchadunga · 01-13-2014, 02:54 AM

I guess it depends what the role calls for her doing. If her role is more-or-less limited to retreading the character of Fred Wolf April; known mostly for being self-important, getting captured, and having big boobs, she should be fine. Yet that's not what I hope April is limited to; I'd like her at least to have the emotional depth of the first movie's April, and prefer to have her learn to fight at least a bit--and I'm not convinced Fox can pull it off.

So it's to be or not to be; whether tis worse to play a lame role perfectly or a good role badly.

HeroTurtlesFan · 01-13-2014, 05:24 AM

Quite happy, looking forward to seeing how she gets on and keeping an open mind (novel idea!) on the whole film until I've seen it.

And she's a "whore" in every movie. I used quotations. I don't see why it isn't proper to use that word. It's her role in every movie !!! And I know I can literally and physically see her as April, I have in photos but from an acting point of view hell no.

Your use of "scare quotes" does not change the fact that you cannot provide proof that Megan Fox has played a sex worker, and as such has never been a whore/prostitute. Your reliance on that word leads me to believe you are partaking in the act of slut shaming, and that is offensive. Please stop.

I couldn't bring myself to watch Jonah Hex, but I believe she played a 'whore' in that one?!

If I'm wrong forgive my ignorance. I didn't see the movie, but the commercials led me to believe she was from a brothel.

I don't hate Megan Fox. I actually enjoyed JENNIFER'S BODY quite a bit (even though most people didn't).

Is she my first pic as April? Heck no! But I guess we'll all have to wait and see... the movie might be entertaining...might be a train wreck!!??

I really dug "Jennifer's Body" as well. Really clever movie that, and Fox was great in it. Proof that with the right director and a good script she's fine actress.

But...HA! I didn't know that about "Jonah Hex." If you're talking about turtlefanforever I concede the point.

That's the same thing as a prostitute, and somebody already referenced Jonah hex, and I forget the name of the movie but she's a slut in it who sleeps with everyone and then gets sacrificed by some underground band and becomes a blood thirsty monster.
