You've really been listening to 90s music recently, have you?

I was waiting for someone to do that LOL! As soon as I saw riffraff in Cubed's post I just KNEW that was coming. He's right BTW.

On topic, I guess we will just have to wait until the next mivie comes along and hope it is better. That's really all we CAN do.

“Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows” in 3D opened to an enthusiastic crowd at the Palace last night, Friday, July 1, and will run through Thursday, July 7 at 7 pm every night.

There is no Monday matinee on Monday, July 4.

Megan Fox, Laura Linney, and Will Arnett headline the cast. The turtles battle Stomach Tumor, Shredder, a lady ninja, two mutants – Bebop and Rocksteady – and and dartardly Baxter Stockman, played by Tyler Perry.

Great, Michael Bay has given the Turtles cancer.

(Seriously, "Palace Manager Marcy Horst," what the hell.

Also, "dartardly"?)

I don't know...

Rather than take the high ground and not pay and not see these movies..

maybe I'll take a different approach.

If this is what fans want, just keep supporting it until they get tired of it. maybe that's the best revenge. keeping something they used to love around far longer than it should be.....then they can't get their newer 'better' thing...

sigh.
remember the days when hollywood respected the older, built in fan base? no ? me either..

So, since so many TMNT fans are younger, I would advocate for a movie that can please them and adult fans/casuals.

No offense, but that is what they tried in the last two movies. They tried making the first Turtles 'for casuals' and when that didn't take they tried the more childish approach in the second movie. As such, it didn't work and now movie Turtles are sorta seen as a joke. Plus for younger fans, their main exposure right now is to Nick, not to FW or to anything older. Any movie 'geared' towards them might as well just be a live version of the Nick show.

You do know this approach would not easily be for the kiddies, right? I'm not opposed to it at all (as it would make TMNT reputable again) but with your earlier statement about making the movies even more for the kids, this kind of confuses me.

Since a third film in the current style seems extremely unlikely at this point I think they'll leave it a little while and try again (assuming the whole comic book movie bubble doesn't burst first but we've no reason to assume that at the moment).

Personally I'd love them to do a loose adaptation of the IDW series. The first 12 issues could be the basis of a solid first movie (though they'd obviously need to give the Shredder conflict a definitive resolution for the film as it would need to stand alone rather than assume sequels were a guarantee).

Of course they could also opt to do lower budget direct to DVD/Blu Ray sequels to the current franchise if they really wanted to continue it.

I'd love to see a film take the turtles to a more classic-looking Mirage/OT/Henson style, with an original story and a new cast and crew. Pull from all sources of turtle lore equally, and give us something everyone can enjoy.

It'll never happen in a billion years, though
