The last time I checked rotten tomatoes, there was 1 rotten review for the movie and no fresh ones.

Yeah give it time, they will all pile up soon, we will probably see them on Rotten Tomatoes tomorrow as it is holiday weekend.

No mention of Rock Soldiers, I don't think. Shredder is annoyed and irritated by Bebop and Rocksteady but there is no OT-style nagging and whinging.

One thing I forgot to mention was that the room wasn't even half full probably because it was an early screening. When I looked at the seating charts the next 2 screening they are almost full, only seats that are left are near the front.

Jenna was your room full.

Wow. Straight up praise from that reviewer. I wouldn't rate it that high. Although, I did enjoy it.

I usually try to go in the afternoon when I go to the cinema here in The Netherlands.

I saw the 2014 movie three of four times and it was always about five or six people, even in the first week!
I also saw the movie in the UK once (as I happened to be in London in September 2014), I believe it was 20 to 30 people then.

Last couple of movies I saw (Batman v Superman, Civil War and X-Men) had about 12 to 15 people in the first week.
I saw Civil War again, about two weeks after the opening, there were about six people.

It's done. Confirmed lit.

[Jasey Cones]

Watched it today and I really liked it...

(For context I like the first movie but am well aware of the problems it has)

Megan Fox was crap as usual but not in it enough to bother me.

Overall the pace was good. After everything I knew was gonna happen from the trailers (Bebop Rocksteady Krang etc.) it was great that it didn't take too long getting on with it.
~
Arrow as casey was a bit poor (he wasn't Casey jones in my opinion) but not offensive.

Liked that Shredder could teleport and wonder if this was a nod to the massive problem in the first movie when he suddenly is in new york (faster than that guy in a chopper)

Bebop and Rocksteady were as good as I could have hoped. Not too gritty and ruined but not as stupid/comedy relief as the original cartoon. Enjoyed watching them

Final battle was a bit average. Shame Shredder wasn't about to add some ninja action to the whole thing. but it was ok.

Loads more Leo this time after not really featuring in the first movie, but all turtles represented well.

Only one minor problem in the river scene when raph is suddenly back with the others after landing near the turtle.

Overall a cracking addition to the Turtle-verse and probably the best movie so far.

[Jasey Cones]

I might just add tho,

This is very much a family film. Anyone hoping for some mirage/idw action will be disappointed. Its loads better than the transformer movies tho.

I'm 100% confident about the movie being rotten after all the smoke is clear.

From Guardian's review:

...here we’re asked to cheer heavily weaponised pizza guzzlers against a cabal of non-Caucasians, in a way that altogether uncomfortably aligns turtle power with its white equivalent.

So the bad guys aren't white, and that's a bad thing? Is that what he's saying?

I um...Wait what? But the Turtles are Japanese American?

The Reviewer is most probably a UKIP follower, think most of the Guardian are UKIP followers.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Of course, if they had turned Baxter Stockman white like in the OT, the reviewer would have bitched about that instead. You just can't please these types of people.

I'd laugh so hard if this movie has a higher rotten tomato score than Batman/Superman.

They gave it 3 stars, so far a couple of reviews have been 3 stars out of 5.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Critics and audiences alike were pretty hard on Batman v. Superman for being such an abysmal pseudo-intellectual film, whereas I don't think anyone expects anything from this film. I'm sure TMNT will have a higher score.
