This.

Are standards now so intentionally lowered (which is the only reason Marvel are still succesful at...well...anything) that we rely less on layered critical opinion and more on a short sentenced upbeat twitter echo chamber?

I don't have an opinion one way or the other on this movie, and won't form one until I see it for myselfv. We are our own best judge of quality

Who the heck talk about standards.

Were just celebrating good news that people are enjoying the movie. Calm yo tits.

It's not always we get to hear great news like this especially turtles movie. Salivate and embrace it.

But...we already knew critics were gonna hate this movie as they did all previous TMNT Movies.

The main issue was seeing how those casual/hardcore fans that were at first skeptical would react and I don't want to act like a brat and say I told you so but, I TOLD YOU!

*high fives*

Life is good.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for the skeptics that changed their mind after seeing the movie. It shows they are very honest and forgiving!

But if someone is still trolling this movie for whatever invalid reason, they don't deserve to watch it.

"Don't deserve...?" Seriously? This is not a Christmas present. It is a toy commercial. I'm 100% sure that if people see it and don't like it, it has everything to do with having a mind of their own, and zero to do with what they "deserve".

Christ.

Tell that to twitter/facebook accounts like 'BoycottTMNT2014' or hell, any of the thousands of people that don't want to like the movie just for the f#cking nostrils or those Anti-Michael Bay people that assume everything he does is automatically raping their childhoods.

Either you've been living under a rock or been seeing your own personal criticisms of the film as the end-all be-all for all the haters. Newsflash, not everyone has valid reasonings to why they don't like the film like you...

[Candy Kappa]

Apparently only Leo have a valid reason to dislike what we've seen so far... Guess the rest of us is just cube-lites.

RAWR Nostrils!

I would imagine it's largely bragging rights for one crowd over the other using it to "prove" they were "right" about the movie all along.

That seems to suggest that it's an indisputable fact that this movie is great and that the people who see and don't like it are being dishonest and unforgiving.

But if someone is still trolling this movie for whatever invalid reason, they don't deserve to watch it.

What if they are trolling it for valid reasons?

[Leo656]

Twitter and Facebook are full of f*cking morons, so no, I purposely don't pay attention to that sh*t. I barely even touch my FB unless I'm being booked for a show. It's stupid. It's a long-established fact that, in general, I f*cking hate the internet. Call that "living under a rock" if you want, I have a lot better things to do. I spend too much time on this place as it is, this forum is 9/10s my internet "home" or whatever, I barely go anywhere else online. How some of you find time to poke around every random corner of the internet is beyond me.

So, in short, f*ck those people and what they think, because I care less about what a bunch of life-losers who have nothing better to do than post "funny" cat pictures and videos and sh*t all day think or say. I care even less if, by some bizarre accident, any of their opinions happen to match mine. If they want spend their days trying to over-dramatically hyperbolize how bad OR good something is, especially something as pointless in the grand scheme of the universe as a goddamn movie, ANY movie, then they need to take their mouth-breathing, basement-dwelling asses outside and say hello to the sun.

Kindly don't lump me in with those people, okay? They're worthless human beings taking up valuable oxygen, and all they do is waste space. That "OMG u guyz Michael Bay sux" sh*t is their hang-up, not mine. Twitter. Facebook. Bunch of f*cking morons with nothing to do, shouting "Pay attention to me!" is all that sh*t is. There's a reason none of these people had a "voice" or a "forum" before the internet: They're nobody. If they had anything important to say, they'd work their way into a position in life where people would pay them for their opinions, now wouldn't they?

Let 'em have their stupid opinions. They don't mean nothin'. Why should you even care? I have nothing but disdain for people who 1. Live and die by social media, and 2. Put absolutely any stock in what people say on it.

Then what I said doesn't apply. Was it really hard to put that together?

Yeah, kinda, if only because a lot of people have given valid reasons and some other people refuse to accept that they are, indeed, "valid". So, since what constitutes "valid criticism" is pretty fluid around here, it's still pretty close to just being, "If you don't like it, you're stupid".

*I* got what you meant, but still.

[LeoRaph]

As much as I HATED the nostrils at first, there really is no way about doing a 'realistic' looking turtle without them. And they do seem to be toned down since the first pics. So I have come to accept them. I really do think Out Of The Shaddows Game while not needing them intentionally put them in to ease fans into the new designs for the movie and for the majority it seems to have worked.

What I still HATE with passion are the human lips, they are not needed for any other reason but to give face time to the actors....And I don't believe the whole emotion thing either, plenty of other 'creatures' have displayed more than enough emotion without them. Also, this Splinter is clearly more creature than human. I will say they have toned them down 'majorly' since the first reveal of them but it is something I will have to take with a grain of salt.

I am still on the fence to whether I want to fork out $20 dollars plus to see this movie rather than hire it on dvd for $7 in 6 months but I'm a sucker for action movies on the big screen and what I've seen looks pretty cool action wise so I'm gradually warming to this 'interpretation'. Reading the other post it seems there will be no where near as much depth as the first one. But I still have hope it will be close to the experience I had as a kid watching the first 2 on the big screen.

I just hope they handle the characters with some depth & specificity other than stereotypes and Shredder doesn't end up being one dimensional like Megatron was.

Anyway, here's hoping...

The OOTS Turtles actually strike a pretty good balance. The nostrils are pretty small and subtle, and they keep the iconic wide/big mouths and the designs and proportions are pretty intact and appealing. They're not my favourite TMNT look or anything, but they're not bad, and I think they'd look a lot better in a movie than what we got.

100% agreed. I've been saying this for ages. The best VFX artists make inhuman characters look real and emote well all the time. That whole "we had to do them this way" excuse doesn't fly.

[CyberCubed]

I assumed the Turtles had human lips so they and April Fox could have a make out scene.

[pingclang]

Maybe I'm weird but seeing all the positive/negative feedback doesn't make me wanna see it any more or less. I'll see it and judge for myself. At the end of the day, I'm going to see Raphael punch someone in the face on the big screen, something I have never got to do and that's enough to get me to buy a ticket.

[Xiewin]

Those out of the shadow designs creep me out more than the turtles in the new film.

Most people aren't small-minded, borderline-autistic racist f*ckwits like you, Cubed.

You have apparently not seen enough fan art to know that, that doesn't need to happen.

Saying the turtles look humanoid is racist? What is that racist against, Turtles?

I still dislike the look of the Turtles in the movie. I've liked their designs in every previously incarnation until now.
