Do you like "TMNT: Out of the Shadows"?

*Andrew NDB* · 06-08-2016, 03:42 PM

C'mon. This one's not anonymous.

*miru* · 06-08-2016, 03:42 PM

I am divided. It seems fun, but the damage it is doing to the franchise... unbearable.

*MrTMNT2012* · 06-08-2016, 03:44 PM

I liked it...despite it's *MANY* flaws.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 06-08-2016, 03:52 PM

I feel honorbound not to vote until I've actually watched the film.

I hate everything about it, but not having actually experienced it... I plan to <harumph harumph> view the film through less than approved means this weekend to verify that, yes, it is indeed everything I hate about the franchise.

But until then, all I can do is echo the words of our great late President Richard Nixon:

"I AM NOT A PLANT."

yes.

the moments dealing specifically with the Turtles were a lot of fun to watch.

the others, not so much.

at least when I buy this on blu-ray to rewatch, I wont be skipping through the first 20 mins just to get to the Turtles.

Archon_Turtle · 06-08-2016, 04:05 PM

I voted that I'm a plant...since these days I could actually be considered one.

*Bry* · 06-08-2016, 04:07 PM

Where's the "Ha, good one! I mean, there's no way I'm actually watching this" option?

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 06-08-2016, 04:07 PM

I don't see YOUR vote, Andrew.

...

Are YOU a plant? Hmm? Leafy tendrils unable to click that "no" button?

You never really know, these days...

But a "No" from me would mean I've seen it. I've not. I'm just actively projecting bile onto it from the minimum safe distance, closely monitoring my giger counter to make sure I don't accidentally get too close.

this thread is pretty much like my 'Did you specifically like the movie' thread

That's exactly what I was hoping for.

With the major difference of we can see (and judge) who voted what.

Yeah, it'll end well and civilly, I'm sure.

*neatoman* · 06-08-2016, 04:27 PM

Yeah this movie sucked really hard, imagine Transformers 2 with way more of Skids and Mudflap.

Also, I haven't found that vodka yet.

I'd give it a 7/10 as an OT fan, a 6/10 if you're strictly speaking as a movie fan in general.

The movie had a simple plot, but the character interaction was pretty funny that it made up for it. The Turtles themselves are also vastly improved personality wise over the previous film.

Leolead · 06-08-2016, 04:57 PM

Hated the handling of Casey, Shredder and to an extent, Baxter But especially Casey.. Amell was a terrible choice. Too many plot-holes regarding Krang and I didn't care for the Ultra-cartoony tone or/and physics either. 4/10. I liked the first one better.

I'm surprised. I didn't know you somewhat liked it.

Yeah I liked it, would give it a 7.5/10

*Krutch* · 06-08-2016, 05:32 PM

As I've said before, i'm the kind of guy who can enjoy We Wish You a Turtles Christmas on some kind of sick level, so, it doesn't take much for me to give it a pass. (The only TMNT thing I've watched and actively didn't like was the 2014 Turtles movie.)

Out of the Shadows at least had some nice, small character moments and felt like a Turtles movie the 8 year old version of myself would have loved to see. It's a big, stupid, fun family flick.

It's still not even close to how I'd approach making a Ninja Turtles movie, but, hey. I'll find enjoyment where I can get it instead of writing off the entire product as garbage.
