Cinema Sins: Everything Wrong With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

[THGhost]

Not sure if this has been posted before. The forums appear to have been shifted around a little. It seems only fair that the 2014 movie should have its own board.

[Bry]

Almost 23 minutes long!? Ohhh, this is gonna be good.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

only 4 minutes in and this is pure gold


EDIT:...ha smegamatron!


that was beautiful

[Bry]

I'll have to finish watching this later, but so far it's glorious.

And hey, notice how the rooftop jump sequence they showed at 6:06 is basically just a worse-directed, overly contrasty shaky-cam version of the 0:57 mark in this?

[Candy Kappa]

It was mighty entertaining, and had a few tidbits I missed when I was watching the movie.

[Bry]

Thanks for reminding me how deeply unpleasant these designs are to look at, Cinema Sins!



Great video. And they caught a few ludicrous things I didn't notice myself (though they likely had to watch the movie more than once to put this together, and... no thanks), so now I think even less of the movie, somehow!

[Commenter 42]

They didn't mock that terrible intro animation sequence, or mention a ton of the issues I thought jumped out, but they noticed things I didn't. Even so, I could easily add another 30 sins.

Ugly designs are ugly. I just don't understand what there is to like about this at all.

Been waiting for one of these to turn up, it didn't disappoint.

One I was surprised they did not cover and I still want an explanation for:

April takes the photos, all four of them are right in front of her when she's standing on the ladder with her camera at the edge of the rooftop. She tries to get away and Raph yanks her ass back up there, meanwhile, somehow, Leo, who had been right there with his brothers, has...taken off and climbed the water tower? (Very quickly I might add.) For...? No reason other than badass leader dramatic entrance?

Although when April is yanked back up there, Raph himself does mysteriously jump down from somewhere, with no time to have been anywhere other than right in front of her.


Also, it hit me the other day, the elevator... Don't those things have cameras?

Some poor hired clueless non-Foot security guard sitting in front of monitors is freaking out. Or at least is planning to sell video evidence.


That is kind of wild about the Almanac movie placement though. Shameless ad insert, but a seemingly meaningless title suddenly actually being something...

That would have been an amazing short movie.

I'm sure someone will be in shortly to tell you.

[Galactus]

There's a few obvious things I thought they missed as well as a few they picked up on that I didn't realize myself.

Mr cinema Sin was wrong when he said Mikey's rocketboard didn't appear in any other part of the movie besides the snow chase.

Mikey Used it in the lair fight to get to april and he used it on the rooftop when they were going back to the lair.

I do agree the whole Sewer water slide thing was a little silly.

[Bloodsucker]

So The BAY is going to make another movie that is not our Ninja or Transformers http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Micha...her-69180.html

Yeah, caught that, too. Although one question remains... when we see it during the snow chase, where was he keeping it? o.O

By all appearances he'd left it at home when they were captured and I doubt Raph brought it along.

in his turtle shell like a battle shell turtle

[Gunpowder]

Haha, friend of mine sent me this earlier today, basically as soon as it was uploaded. Funny stuff. That bit with the misplaced comma in the google search was absolutely cringe-worthy.

Vid is amusing (if you can get past that dudes voice) but felt a little late to the party. All these flaws/nitpicks have been flogged to death on the internet since August. They were even wrong on a few things. Though the Vern-knowing-it-was-April-calling-from-a-payphone thing made me feel real stupid for not noticing

interesting I had no idea Raph brought Mikey's rocket board along

[IndigoErth]

Phine, I take it back.

Wtf Raph, really? Next movie he'll bring a change of pants, too.

[ToTheNines]

I just wanna say: Vern was listening to the George Michael classic "Careless Whisper". Not Kenny G.
