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

*CyberCubed* · 06-08-2016, 04:49 PM

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.

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.

Thank you Krutch! I felt the same way. Saw it twice. The first time was just to *enjoy* it. The second viewing was more critical and objective, and it held up better than the first did. Yes, I liked it. More so for the character treatment of Krang R&B and the turtles but I quite liked the way it felt more like TMNT. Well, FW TMNT anyway. Which is fine since it clearly took a lot of its cues from that version.

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 06-08-2016, 06:02 PM

It was miles better than the first movie.

*TigerClaw* · 06-08-2016, 06:31 PM

that poll and the other one speaks volume, people loved OOTS, he just can't bring himself to the realization, that TMNT today is more popular then it was before.

Then why is it making significantly less than the movie releases in 2014?

You really say a bunch of asinine things

Ignoring the fact you said some other frustratingly naive stuff, this is outright wrong in every conceivable way. Nothing can touch how huge it was during "Turtlemania".

*Coola Yagami* · 06-08-2016, 09:45 PM

Idk. I'll see it when I see it. Watching it mostly for bebop and Rocksteady. Actually surprised it's doing so badly considering those 2 are in it. Only Micheal Bay can take something that awesome and somehow **** it up.

I do a weekly show for my shop, this week is all about my feelings towards this movie. Nothing better than listening to a couple of grown men get more and more frustrated over a children's movie.

As a grumpy guy in his early 30s this was set up for my demographic to hate it but I thought it was a lot of fun for a popcorn flick. Lots of fan service and some good interactions. Mikey saying "we're not monsters" with tears in his eyes touched me as someone who grew up with these characters. I've given the movie plenty of leeway and I understand people not digging it but personally I put all preconceived notions aside and had a blast

*Redeemer* · 06-18-2016, 09:04 PM

I just saw it and holy crap was this movie bad. I can't believe how disappointing the movie was.

I am honestly shocked how many people actually enjoyed the movie..... But I think that speaks more about myself and how I have grown or retracted as a fan of TMNT. The story of the Comics current and past have just set such a high bench mark that it has more than likely caused myself to set high standards for these movies.....

~~Cropsy~~ · 06-19-2016, 05:28 AM

This one was better than the first one i thought and had some decent action and 80's cartoon feel of it even with Bebop and Rocksteady finally on film.
