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.

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?

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".

I'd be far more interested to see the same poll done in six months or so. There was a lot of opinion turnaround on the last movie once the hype wore off.

Are YOU a plant? Hmm? Leafy tendrils unable to click that "no" button?
He's prob just a plant from a rival company with another film out about now, perhaps X-Men: Apocalypse or Warcraft trying to weaken the numbers prior to its release.

( I wonder if that ever actually happens. o.O)

Agree. It's been interesting to see some of those who were massively hyped up defenders of it kind of cool off and become a bit more neutral.

Don't know if it will be quite as obvious of a shift with this one, since the vast majority at least acknowledge that at least some aspects were not great, but yeah.

Couldn't agree more. I was ~9 or 10 years old when the first movie came out, and it wasn't a huge deal. It was big, but not huge, to me, even at that age TMNT were an underground thing.

Then SotO came out. That was, what I think anyways, the start of "Turltemania". They were %^&$ing everywhere. Seriously, 5th grade school clothes shopping, I had everything TMNT socks, sweaters, everything. You couldn't go anywhere without seeing them. They were being sold in everystore, they were licensed to everything. TMNT at its peak now, is big for TMNT, probably the biggest its been since then. But it doesn't even come close to how big it was.

Anywhoooo. Didn't see the new movie, still voted, because I can't wait for a reboot. I really hope we get an actual Mirage comic trilogy. Would kill to see the Collected Hard Covers on the big screen. Bring on the Triceratons, and Zog. But yeah, movie looked like the same thing they did last time.

BTW, I was right. Every villian the turtles fight have to be enormous. The TMNT were designed so big that nothing normal human size is an opposition. Rocksteady and Bebop look the same size as the Turtles.

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

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.....

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.
