Could Platinum Dunes TMNT2 be the best one yet?

With such a star studded cast, could Platinum Dunes TMNT2 be the best one yet?

In other news, somebody's anus is ripped wide open by a horde of screeching monkeys taking flight.

Platinum Dunes' marketing department cheques finally went through?

Okay, I'll bite... best what yet? BayTurtles movie? It's the second one and the first one was hot garbage, so... very possibly, sure. Platinum Dunes movie overall? Not a very high bar, but that's relative to their track record - even "the best" venereal disease is still a pretty unpleasant thing to have. Best TMNT movie yet? HAHA NOPE.

And I'm curious what you mean by "star-studded". As far as I can tell, the only genuine "stars" in this movie are Laura Linney and Tyler Perry, and those are likely to be small roles. Will Arnett might qualify, but he's not leading-man famous. Maybe Megan Fox qualifies based on name recognition, but her career was dead before she was tossed a BayTurtles life preserver. Stephen Amell is somewhat well-known for Arrow, but nothing else - a far cry from a "star" at this point. Who else is there?

It's the GIF that keeps on giving.

It's going to get a lot of use in the next few months.

How can we now that ? The film comes out in 2016.
However it's still a Bay movie, so it will never be better than the 1990 one.
I think it will be better than the 2014 though because they can't make worst than this one

Ha.
Hahahaha.

Star studded somehow equals "best one yet"?

My response to that... sitting here like Nick Mikey while Donnie tries to explain quadratic equations to him.

Celebrities present does not inherently make things better. And in this case where they should NOT be the focus... it would only make it worse.

The first film was about product placement. The second seems to be celebrity placement.

Will they ever grasp the fact that the Turtles - and through them THEIR actors - are the stars? I'm guessing either by the 5th sequel or never, which ever comes first. If Bay & Co. ever want to show they are really worth anything as film makers, not just businessmen, they'll figure that the hell out. But that would require them to actually care about film making as an art, not just as a money making scheme.

That is the only correct and true answer to such a question.

Just because big names are in a movie, doesn't mean they will be good. In the first BayTurtles movie, Will Arnett could have been amazing in it, but there was nothing for him to work with.

*Cure* · 07-30-2015, 06:47 PM

Maybe. Could also be the worst one. Won't really know until it's out.
