Seriously There a several Emotional Scenes The brother hood bond is Great The integrations with each other are awesome. Splinter and his Fatherly bond is great. None of that is Fake or hallow and is most definitely Earned.

No it isn't. I guess some of the bond between the turtles is good, but nothing else really works. The fact that Raph needs almost no convincing to leave a dying Splinter is a huge misstep.

Dear Sam, I havn't a clue what you've just written, however;

I've told you to f*ck off before. I dislike you. You don't take the time to proof read your posts, at all, so I assume you're an absolute idiot, or just really inconsiderate of others. I'm sure it's a bit of both.

The war is over buster, and you've lost. We've ALL lost, because of people, just like you, who insist on lowering the bar, for everything. 16% isn't even close to a passing grade. They trashed the franchise. Applaud all you want, theaters will be empty by the third weekend. 2014 toys will go in the bargain bin.
You really want to know why I'm so opposed to PD's movie? Check my posts.
I'm convinced you love this movie because you just don't know any better.

You cook, so how's this: this "opportunity" was a beautiful cut of 40 day dry aged prime beef, ready for the souvis, to be transformed into mouth watering perfection.
Instead, someone butterflied it, dropped it in a dry frying pan, and cooked it for 30 minutes in olive oil. Then they tried to serve it, customer complainedit was dry, so they scraped it off the plate into a big bin, and made burgers out of it. Burgers didn't sell, and the meat cost money, so well, screw it, make a chilli. Nobody wants the damed chilli, so let's sell it with Nachos and cheese!

And your buying those sad Nachos, for the same price as you would have paid for the steak, because of the Canadian Prime in the meat sauce. Not the same as having a beautiful steak though, is it. And you keep going back for seconds! More than that, you want to force me to eat them too!

Stop it.

First off Seriously this kind of thing is Allowed???

Second I haven't lost anything Supporters of the movie Haven't lost anything. Check twitter with the exception of a few trolls and some people who dislike the movie, Its pretty overwhelmingly Positive. Not only that but many of these people are saying they will go see it again. Heck i loved it So much Im going to see it twice tomorrow. I dont know Why you feel so Adamant about it failing like your life depends on it. But if that was the case I think your out of luck there Buddy.

Stop it.

Your the kind of person who ruined the Movie section.

Transformers 4 just passed $1 billion, and it has 18% on RT. Can we stop talking about that site?

[Radical Raph]

I really hope there isn't a sequel and we get a better reboot soon but I'm pretty sure they've ruined the turtle franchise for awhile whether this thing is successful or not. I guess if enough people like it then who am I to say they shouldn't have a sequel? But I want nothing to do with this version. I'd rather watch the old ones. And I'm not even a nostalgic purist.

Nah dude, Sam's been pushing my buttons for a few weeks now. he doesn't like that I made fun of him, now he wants to get me kicked out. I've been very polite in the past, and he keeps looking for a fight. This isn't the first row we've had, but I want it to be the last. I'm trying to make it clear, and will put him on ignore I guess, but why? Why can't he just stay away?

And actually, Sam is the one who ruined the movie section, not me.

So just put him on your ignore list and be done with it.

[ranger_scout]

The three characters I want to see in a sequel are Casey Jones and Bebop & Rocksteady.

Actually, he did.
We can do this all day. Why are you picking a fight with me? I've agreed with you in the past on numerous things, but now, you're up in arms?
Sam didn't actually read what I'd written, he simply regurgitated his ongoing rhetoric.
I'm a firm believer that the studio's are paying attention to the online reactions, so much so that they are willing to make drastic changes if word of mouth is bad.
I don't think 2014 should be the model going forward, in any form, and the opinions of the fans should be expressed to the max. It's because Godzilla 1999 was universally hated, that they made damned sure to reboot with fans in mind. It's because superman returns was panned that you got MOS (which I loathe, in both instances, but still). It's the hatred for TASM costume that they made TASM2 costume better, possibly the best CBM costume since Reeves in '78.

But Sam isn't discerning in his taste, and will accept just about anything, in the face of other fans desires, without bothering to understand why they're miffed. He's entitled to his opinion, sure, that's not my issue. it's that he blatantly ignores mine, and others. he doesn't present an actual argument, ever, and certainly doesn't try to make his opinion legible.

Yes, he caused the divide, along with two or three others that decided to shout down the naysayers.

Back to the topic:

If there's a sequel, I'd like it to be Battle Toads, or Street Sharks. In that way, I won't care what they do.

We all lost? Get the **** out of here with that nonsense commenter 42. Seriously, **** off. You do not speak for everyone on this site.

I ain't getting paid ****, the problem is that you are a hell of an unpleasant dick that is antagonistic. Has it occurred to you that certain people would get off your back if you stopped being an offensive little ****?

There are three I'd consider as the emotional scenes.

One with the trio and Splinter locking them out to save themselves, which was pretty good.

One with Raph and Splinter, which I felt was sort of quick to move on from.

One with the brothers during the climax, which I thought was pretty horrible as it had no support to build up to it. I liked Don's confession, Mike's was a throw away, and Raph's didn't fit in the context of the movie whatsoever. They didn't emphasize the subplot from the Blue Door script yet they kept this big catharsis from it. Leo.....got nothing. :/

That last one could be the victim of editing in the rest of the movie, much like April's dad dying in the lab he set on fire with him and his daughter in it, yet then saying Sacks shot him to death. I suspect an editing gaffe there.


*sigh* I'll see you guys when threads get unlocked again. It's coming...

[NinjaPug]

Wait.. April's dad dies in a fire yet Sachs says he shot him to death later in the film?
