I'm sad to say I will NOT be seeing this in the theater. I don't know if I'll ever watch it. It just looks atrocious and the turtles do not look very well "updated." I cannot get past those odd noses and Shrek-like faces. No one ever really had a problem with the way they were originally designed and sure I am cool with some changes, but there is so much unnecessary accessories and junk they have on. Why does Leonardo have armor like Rufio from "Hook"? they all look friggin' creepy.

I just don't feel like I'm in the turtles world. And sorry, Fox, you are no April O'Neil.

If you don't like what you see, speak with your wallets and don't go to the theaters to watch this. The studios listen to our money.

Little late in the game for this dont ya think? These exact thing have been reasons for major battles on these forums and as soon as it starts to take off in another direction things like this just have to come back full circle like you havent been keeping up with the times. Not trying to be a dick, but my god!!!!

You guys.....I think I'm going to boycott because Viacom just bought the franchise.

Agree to disagree.

And it's back up to 90% at the moment. Whoo. Wonder what it'll end up at?

If it's genuinely as good (or better?) than Captain America: The Winter Soldier, I am gonna love this movie. Just got my tickets to see it after work tomorrow.

Yeah, I saw it at 97% then going down, But who knows, It could go back up because, The reviews start pouring in on the day of the release, Sometimes the Reviews are under an embargo until a film is released.

However TMNT has a review embargo that will be lifted this Sunday.

Coming this Sunday, Expect a ton of reviews from many of the Movie sites like Collider and so on.

Both sides bring up good points. I'm on both sides here. Like for example April. They choose Megan Fox to play April. People say they hate how she acts, she doesn't look like April,etc. Others have this so called open mind about her. They need to see the movie before they say its horrible or good. To a degree everyone is picky. You can't be truly open minded. Pretty sure 100% people disagree about how they were going to make the Turtles be Aliens. So the way I see it there are two kind of people in this world. Picky people and less picky people. In the end nobody is open minded.

Not a bad way of looking at it. Everybody's got a hang-up, some just have more of a hair trigger than others.

You'll enjoy it. It was a light and funny film. Great visuals.. I will say though.. If Groot and Raccoon weren't in this film.. I wouldn't see anything special about it besides the awesome production value. That Raccoon is now one of my favorite characters ever. Every single word out of his mouth was funny lol.

[SPOILER]there is also a scene with him crying.. I wont spoil it completely.. but it was heart breaking. The entire theatre went " awwwwww ". He has a really cute friendship with Groot. [SPOILER]

Is this fact or according to you?

Sanjuro · 07-31-2014, 09:05 PM

Just saw GotG.

Word of mouth is going to hurt TMNT as well. A lot.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-31-2014, 09:12 PM

I'd probably go see this if I had money to burn. Looks alright. I don't know anything about the franchise so I don't really care, but I'unno, that raccoon guy's got some moxie.

Forget August, GOTG won the year in my book.

Just got back and that movie has me on a huge high right now. I loved everything about it. My expectations for this were extremely high and they were exceeded a ton. Space operas are my jam to begin with but the characters and the humor were top notch. James Gunn killed it.

Loved it. A+. Bring on 7.28.2017
