I enjoyed it whenever the Turtles were on screen. Any time there were no Turtles, I f***ing HATED it.

Thats how I felt, but hate is such a strong word. I would say disliked, cringed at times? Yes....

Awilkes8 · 08-12-2014, 09:52 PM

I find that I have way more things I disliked than things I liked, but I also think that's me being hypercritical and I did leave entertained at least.

When there's money involved, those who reap the benefits off of others, rarely feel bad at all.

Ughh I really hope this trilogy doesn't turn out to be like Transformers. Is it too much to ask for a good turtles movie?

*CyberCubed* · 08-12-2014, 09:54 PM

The entire movie was off. We barely got to know these Turtles, there was no time to simply get used to their personalities or chemistry (or lack thereof) together. It just went from action scene to action scene.

The worst part about the movie aside from the half-baked plot was that these Turtles just weren't very likeable. Even ignoring the designs their personalities came across as parodies of themselves stripped down to the bare minimum.

All Don did was say tech talk, all Mikey did was make jokes, all Raph did was get angry, and Leo just said calm or leader-y stuff. Its like someone took the bare minimum of their personalities and made it work.

It shoudn't be, and that's the sad part. Their story is pretty straight forward, no reason to get all complex. See, for me, it's not the story, but the brotherhood within the story, and the Turtles are so easy to identify, I just don't understand why it would be difficult to make a good TMNT movie.

This. Omigosh please let him voice Leo, not just Mocap. I can't imagine how he can remain calm after all that work done only to have your movement but not voice in the movie. Basically being a puppet. He's a strong guy not making a scene so far..or maybe he's contractually obligated not to.

*CyberCubed* · 08-13-2014, 12:27 AM

The more I think of this movie the more and more I realize what a mess it was. What on earth was the point of 3 huge action scenes back to back? The 3 Turtles are only captured for like...10 minutes because Raphael gets to the fortress immediately in the next scene.

The adrenaline scene was awful. It was meant to be funny when they were jumping around but they came off as borderline retarded.

I also dislike Shredder's look more and more. He looked like a bland robot with knives coming all out of him instead of Shredder.

I thought you weren't gonna see it because the Turtles' nostrils gave you nightmares.

I mean, I swear, the last person to bitch so much about anyone's nostrils was Lindsay Lohan's coke dealer.

Does Cyber do anything but Complain ?

Sometimes he talks about Batman.

Yeah, I feel for the guy. Leo too. Think its quickly become my main dislike... Really hope they will hear out fan feedback that wants Pete to have a shot at it next time.

I'm sure after spending so long portraying Leo he's a million times more connected and familiar with the guy than Knoxville who seemed to admit in a video to not even doing any research... Pete and Leo, fingers crossed for you guys.

From Platinum Dunes, probably?

Midnight Mutant · 08-13-2014, 03:30 AM

I dunno. Neutral I guess. It's not as bad as I expected, but not great either. Just so-so. I have no strong hate or undying love for it so...neutral.

Leolead · 08-13-2014, 03:44 AM

I loved it, my family loved it, my friends liked it (then again before this movie they weren't big fans of the Turtles)

I liked it alot. It was fun seeing everyone wearing turtle shirts and laughing and clapping. The movie was FAR from perfect, but imo it was entertaining.

Who is the "Mtv generation" these days, I thought it was those who originally grew up on it way back and are "old" now.

Because that said... 35 here and I liked it enough to consider checking it out again. It's not perfect, definitely some issues there, but hoping they will be resolved/improved in the sequel.

*CyberCubed* · 08-13-2014, 04:10 PM

The plot was dumb and silly, but the worst part were the Turtles themselves. They just weren't likeable. You HAVE to make the Turtles likeable to care about them.

It's like someone wikipedia'd their personalities and gave them a few lines of dialogue per each trait and that's it. And those god awful glasses on Donatello, whoever thought it was a good idea to have Don wear glasses all the time needs to be slapped upside the head.
