Will you Add the New Movie to your DVD/Bluray Collection?

This is more of a question to those who found just a few too many inconsistencies with the new movie and overall just didn't like it as there is no doubt those who liked it will add it no questions.

Will you add it to your collection?

I won't be adding it to my collection. This to me is along the lines of next mutation, it's there but I don't want it. I've never added next mutation to my collection nor do I intend to. With this one I can barely even remember it, it was just too freaking fast. Like next mutation it just isn't Ninja Turtles to me, it felt as if they had just been tacked on to a movie that was so poorly written it could have been anything. It also didn't help making them supporting roles in an April O'neil movie.

There were just far too many 'mindless dumb' things in it (I'm working on my own review I'll post it eventually) that I just can't add it to my collection. It doesn't help that the one thing that I truly remember hating in this movie was Raphael. The design should have been a red flag (Leo despite unnecessary bamboo armour clearly got the better end of the deal), to me this is with no doubt the worst Raphael ever and I remember not liking 2K3 Raph to start.

But at least the 2K3 Raph 'seemed' like a meathead who had other colours in him where Gregory Abbey gave him depth and shades which you could hear in his voice. Unfortunately, Alan Ritchson could not. He was a one dimensional meathead through out the entire movie, even when there was supposed to be emotion Alan's voice didn't carry it like the better Raphael's Gregory Abbey, Nolan North, Sean Astin and the #1 Raph of all time who set the bar Josh Pais. It also didn't help he could throw a freaking shipping crate but not move robo shredder and his freaking sunglasses & toothpick defied gravity. Donatello, Leo (Pete Ploszek), Mikey could be better with solid intelligent writing but nothing could save this Raph.

That being said, I think once it becomes available on a stream I will watch it again to see if I'm being too harsh as I quite honestly can't remember much that I liked but for the life of me I just can't put it amongst my collection. I just can't...

How do you guys feel?

If I can get it cheap, or as a gift, yes. It's turtles, can't have an incomplete set. Even if I do wish it never happened.

My opinion on the movie is still "you couldn't pay me to watch that again." So... nope, not a chance.

I'm not a completist about this sort of thing, though. If I hated a specific installment I'm happy pretending it never happened. I collect, but only the parts I enjoy.

Only if I can find it secondhand cheap a few years down the road. No sense in directly giving Bay my money for a disaster.

I preordered it, to get that Raph statue. Then I cancelled it.


I'm sure my kid will want it though.

No. I have like no desire to see this again. Maybe I'll catch it on Netflix a few years down the road.

No.

I rather watch the few turtles scenes which are available on you-tube.

Too much Megan Fox for me.

Edit: Oh I actually like this version of Raph...

I've already pre-ordered it on Amazon, so I'm not allowed to answer "no" to this... But, admittedly, the more I think about this movie, the less I like it. Every time I think about it, I'm reminded that it could have been SO much more than it was.

Agreed. On both accounts.

Ill definitely own this movie.. the day it releases.. I gave it a 7/10 but it is not the worst live-action TMNT movie ever made, in my opinion, and I own them all so bring on the blu ray!!

Yeah I'll be getting it on release day. I'll get the exclusive Raph version from Target and I'm still debating the Amazon one because of the Raph statue/figure.

I'll get it, for completion sake. I haven't seen it yet, so it'll be a surprise for me when I watch it.

I'll be picking it up because it was a lot more fun then I thought it would be. It is along the lines of Transformers, while not what we grew up with a new take on something I loved. I can't compare it to any of the other versions, because it isn't them and that would be unfair. As it's own thing it was enjoyable and held to the heart of TMNT. Is it a masterpiece? Of course not. However, it is not nearly as bad as people are harping on it being.

I'd rather settle with having a DVD copy of SOTO than a movie I never saw nor had interest at all, so nope.

And I'm not exaggerating the SOTO part either. I actually found myself enjoying slightly more than my first time watching it on TV.
