Their sizes are a huge (no pun intended) turnoff for me because we don't get to see choreographic fights in a movie called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Combat involves tackling, shoulder charging, and deflecting bullets which are not what the turtles are known for. It's like if you made Batman as huge as Bane or Killer Croc and displays no martial arts and instead fought like a brute.

yep, but all this thoughtful stuff usually gets deflected with a simple 'but the movie was ok. wasn't terrible, wasn't good.. but watchable.'


it's like the new people don't come in as dedicated fans like the old people, and simply want to waste 2 hours in enjoyment...

that's all well and fine so long as you don't just dismiss the comments of the old guard with a wave of the hand. that's what the producers of the new movie we hate did ;o)
