Who actually liked the 2014 movie?

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I know this movie gets a lot of hate but it's not like it was the worst thing the turtles ever starred in. I had a lot of problems with this movie but to me, the designs and what they were going for with them had potential which may not say much for the final product. I would take this over TMNT 3, Coming Out of Our Shells, We Wish You a Turtles Chirstmas, Turtle Toons, and that one train special.

If you liked this movie, what did you like about it?

[B-Man]

Yeah dude. I fail to see how in a franchise that gave us Coming Out Of Our Shells, Turtles III, We Wish You A Turtle Christmas, The Next Mutation, how this is somehow a big offender. I also suspect there's people here who secretly like it but are afraid to be in the minority & would rather be amongst the majority. But yeah I'm a fan. It has its problems (like any movie) but I'll take it over the 2007 CG flick any day.

[Shark_Blade]

I love it. The design, April, Shredder, fight sequence, camera angles, rich colors and soundtrack. Omg the soundtrack is epic.

This movie tie or even top the first movie for me.

[B-Man]

I watched the 1990 & 2014 back-to-back the other night & had a blast. They make for a great double feature (also 'Batman' & 'Batman Returns' - I highly recommend watching these together in one night).

I'm on-and-off with this movie. I think there are - to say the least - extremely valid reasons for people to hate it. There are things that should have been done that weren't, and vice versa; and I think it was most definitely handed over to the wrong people. But I'm still capable of sitting through its entirety and finding satisfaction. Not a total let-down for me, but could have been executed much, much, MUCH better.

[The Stryker]

I like it a lot. It's just a fun movie with really neat action scenes. The snow mountain sequence and the fight with Shredder are probably my favorite action scenes of any movie this year honestly.

[Gunpowder]

I have to agree about that snow mountain bit.

[TigerClaw]

I loved it, I'm happy that the Turtles are back on the big screen.

[Duke Nukem]

I guess I kind of like it, but it's hard not to think about what it could have been when watching it. I plan to buy it eventually, especially since I need a 3D Blu-ray so I can make use of having a 3D display, but I'd rather buy the Casey Jones DVD before I worry about that. I don't agree that it was better than TMNT 3, but definitely better than the musical tours and such.

The fight in the lair, or on the rooftop?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The turtles' lair was very well-done, and very detailed. Shame we spent so little time there.

I liked the new Master Splinter, even if all he really did was advertise Pizza Hut. He made good use of his tail.

Sachs was an interesting character, if an unnecessary one. I liked him so much that I rooted for him the whole film.

And I almost liked Raph's speech at the end, when the turtles are (supposedly) plummeting to their death. But it was used as fodder for a stupid joke the next scene, so forget that.

I feel the same, despite hating his addition (Baxter could have done exactly the same stuff in the film). But Ficthner is very charismatic.

It would have been pretty bad ass if Sacks actually did get away. The Foot gets framed for the toxin, the Turtles eliminates Shredder, and Sacks could have in the chaos snuck away with bags of money or something, or hog the glory for exposing the Foot's plans and then run for Mayor or something.

[samxsteal]

i think it obvious to anyone i loved the movie. Loved the action. Loved the actors loved just about everything

[Autbot_Benz]

I too loved this movie. The turtles looked good, Splinter was badass Shredder looked cool. I agree with B Man we have gotten worse turtles crap than this movie. The Action scenes were awesome too.

The rooftop. Though I did like the lair fight too.

It just felt good to me. Broad daylight, you can see everything and it lasted a decent amount of time. After so many movies setting their final fights in the dark and rain or not having much of a fight at all....I dunno. It stuck out to me.

[CyberCubed]

The only thing I liked was...um...maybe the snowmobile sequence?

Everything else was awful. From the ugly Turtle noses, the bad personalities, bad Shredder, bad everything.

Then let me tell how I see it.

Among most of the bad versions like the second, third and arguably fourth movies and the Next Mutation the title characters were the stars and each of them tried with varying degrees of success not to treat them like one-note jokes. The stories may not have been strong or compelling (although some aspects of all of them had merit) but made general sense. There's no huge logic holes within the context of the world they created or things that really made me sit up and say "oh c'mon"

But the biggest reason is that none of the other stuff was anywhere near as high profile. Nor did it come out at a time when a lot of the franchises peers are treating them with respect and putting out movies of much higher quality. It's easy for me to brush off 'We Wish You a Turtle Christmas' and Coming Out of Our Shells Tour as harmless, silly fun because they were low key and or came at a time where it couldn't do any damage the franchise. There was no better time than now to put out a big budget movie when so many would be interested and they blew it. In my opinion it's damaged the franchise far more than all the bad versions put together.
