While there are very few bits that were even slightly decent or entertaining they are certainly not worth the price of purchase. If there was a commentary track I would be very interested in hearing what the filmmakers had to say about this movie but I still could not justify that as a reason to own this. I guess the only reason I could see myself owning this is if it was gifted to me by someone who didn't know that I didn't like the movie but that's about it.
Another option is just rent it for a day. Then give it back and never look back. I'd be rolling my eyes as the people in the commentary would go on and on about how awesome the movie was.

Yeah, you're right that's exactly what it means.

I think subconsciously I forgot to put rent it out as dvd hire stores seem to be going under now with netflix in the US and quickflix here dominating both with mail dvds and streaming.

As it stands right now, definitely not. This movie was so crushingly bland and disappointing to me that I see no reason to own it, especially considering I'm somewhat short on cash these days and could use it to buy any number of things that would be more entertaining.

I'll go ahead and rent it from Redbox when it arrives there, just to give it a second chance and see if my opinion changes. In the unlikely event that it does and I'm somehow struck blind by the magnificence that I supposedly missed the first time around, I may consider a purchase somewhere down the line. Of course, I'll bet dollars to donuts that it'll suck just as much as it did when I saw it in the cinema.

By and large, I've given up on this one. Here's hoping the sequel will be a little better.

I might either rent it on Redbox or watch it on YouTube before I make that final call.

Of course, at worst it's the 2nd best film in the franchise. Was entertaining. I can fast forward through the boring parts as well. Why would any TMNT fan not want to own this movie? Hmmm ...

You're kidding right? Apart from your indirect insult to those who 'genuinely' didn't care for it and have stated their reasons in this thread and many others you have partly answered your own question. You shouldn't HAVE to Fast Forward TMNT.

How can anyone that actually consider themselves any kind of tmnt fan want this in their collection? Did they even like that original show/movies/comics?

I think ghost rider is awesome but I'm not buying his crappy movies.

Because maybe people like this movie and you don't?

And anyway, how would you define a real fan?

Coola won't stop until he pushes his opinion that 2014 movie sucked as fact. He can't let it go that some people actually enjoyed this movie.

Both sides could do well to just let it go...
Spoiler:




Ok the last one was mostly because it made me laugh. Mostly. (Though not wholly directed at this particular group; internet in general.)


Rest up TMNT fans, for in the not too distant future we'll be able to start agonizing over sequel details.
