That's really Uncool Yagami.

I'm not saying how they should feel. I'm just confused as to where the nostalgia is coming from when there is none. Or did I miss the scene when the turtles were fighting bebop and rocksteady with robot foot soldiers while actually looking like themselves? It barely looks and feels like a tmnt movie. Or is the nostalgia coming from Megan fox to remind us of the first two transformers movies?

You know if you had asked me before I saw the movie I would have told you how adamantly I opposed a sequel. I was going off of leaked info, the pictures of the Turtles, and just nostalgia of how it should be. I had those fan boy glasses on and I wasn't going to see the movie.

Then I had a friend who wanted me to so bad he offered to pay. I felt justified in seeing it as i hadn't given any of my money to see it. I really liked it. It was far better then I thought it would be. In fact I would go as far as saying it is my second favorite Turtle movie, first of course the original.

The heart was there, the humor, the action it all felt like TMNT to me. So now I'm stoked for a sequel I can't wait to see what they add to the mix.

I Agree With This Man.

Plus we can expect Casey, Bebop and Rocksteady in the sequel. That's totally awesome.

We can? Casey, I can understand... but where are you getting Bebop and Rocksteady from?

*Powder* · 10-01-2014, 06:31 PM

Liebesman himself said during interviews at SDCC that he planned to introduce all 3 characters.

Considering we got barely any character development in the first film, it makes perfect sense. Let's just introduce tons of characters & not explore any of them in depth!

but you know.... they'll say cowabunga, and there's pizza. Maybe they'll even have Bebop and Rocksteady say 'toitles' once. And all will be forgiven.

Story, character depth, well-shot fight scenes, actual heart and effort, pssssh, who the hell needs all that crap, we got Bebop and Rocksteady, right?

According to the recent interviews of Brad fuller and Andrew form, I suspect that the sequel might be even worse than than the last. Since "Entertainment" is all that matters to them apparently.

That's what I mean. Similar to this movie cause hey, turtles are in it, everyone is gonna overlook all flaws and mess ups because hey, Bebop and Rocksteady.

Pretty much the Transformers formula. The movie makers assume the audience already in one way or the other know the characters.

As with PD TMNT, we never see Raph do the things he apologize for in the "emotional" speech he had at the end. But we know by default Raph is the badass loner who bullies others but still got a mushy center inside. He wants to go solo, but we never really see why he wants to go solo. it's just who he is.

Casey in a PD movie, will probably never be explained why he fight crime, cause we all "know" from other media why he does it.

Sadly I don't think any comic book movie will ever live up to fans' expectations. Hell, even the original Superman movies had their flaws.

You can never please everyone but you can please most people.

Comic book movies are actually in a place were they really are coming into their own but these guys hardly tried to please the fans.

More than that it really doesn't work as a movie in itself. The flaws - which even the fans of the movie agree are there are way too big and too numerous that I would argue if this wasn't a TMNT movie those flaws would matter a whole lot more to them.

Avengers. Guardians. Winter Soldier. Hell people still claim the Nolan Batman trilogy is amazing. So no, some comic book movie do please the majority.

Yea, but every movie has its flaws. Even the ones you just mentioned had WTF moments...

True, no movie is perfect, and yes they all have flaws. They still pleased the majority. And they didn't have half as many flaws as this one had. They definitely didn't have the violent divide that this one does.

Wrong. It's just a bad movie to us. Has nothing to do with being it's own take. We all like the IDW books & Nick cartoon. But there is a huuuuuuuge divide over the movie. That says a lot.

Xiewin · 10-04-2014, 08:07 AM

Yeah I'm going to have to agree with Powder here. I was completely on board with this movie, until I actually saw it.

*Katie* · 10-04-2014, 08:17 AM

Ok, let me put it this way since you don't understand:

I do not like the old toon. Also, I think a lot of the Mirage stories are dumb and boring. But I appreciate that people like those incarnations. It's not bad, just not something I'll ever like. But so what? They aren't wrong for liking it and I'm not wrong for disliking it.

The divide over this movie has a lot to do with people having hopes and expectations that a certain tone or version or whatever was going to be portrayed...and it wasn't. Some can get by that, some can't.

*NinjaPug* · 10-04-2014, 08:19 AM

I don't just see it as a bad TMNT movie...to me it's just a bad movie period.

DarkLightDragon · 10-04-2014, 08:21 AM

I chose not to watch it because it looked like an unappealing film. Not because it wasn't being my ideal take on the Turtles.
