yeah Wayans was really good in this. he had the theater laughing every time. and i thought he was better than Channing Tatum, although he wasn't too bad.

We loved it. Mary had a fangasm... I never saw the show as much as a lot of people here have, but I watched it, just not really remembering it. But I thought it was awesome. One or two minor quibbles aside, I'd say it was a great action flick. Not usually a fan of "stuff blows up" movies, but this was fun. Already looking forward to the sequel.

Yo JOE!

Here's the big question:
Is it better than Transformers 2: The Revenge of the Fallen?

EDIT:Oh...Brodie and GK already said it was...ooops.

*Brodie* · 08-08-2009, 04:45 PM

That's already been answered. READ JESTER.

I so can't wait to see this movie

*TigerClaw* · 08-08-2009, 11:34 PM

Brandon Frasier had a little cameo as Gung-Ho.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-08-2009, 11:53 PM

Izzat who he was? Huh, I missed them mentioning the character's name...

*Brodie* · 08-09-2009, 12:54 AM

Pretty sure his cameo was supposed to be Shipwreck...Ski-doo and all. Everything leading up to the movie said he was Shipwreck.

Edit: other stuff on the net says he might have been Flint.

No.. He was Sgt. Stone. He's a Descendent of Rick O'Connell from the Mummy movies.

And the reason for Cobra Commander's mask was cuz they thought the original looked too much like a KKK mask. *lol*

In what way does a KKK mask constitute laughing-out-loud?

yeah, but i've seen live action versions of it and it doesn't look lame at all. it looks a heck of alot better than the version in the film imo.

and who thought it looked like KKK? the KKK mask looks nothing like Cobra Commander's mask. there is now reason why this couldn't have been used:

**GK Punk** · 08-09-2009, 10:30 PM

He would look really silly, especially with the rest of the character design style of the movie. It just wouldn't work well. I'm actually really glad they didn't use it. And the KKK thing was about the hood, not the face plate.

The one in the movie reminds me of a mix between the faceplate and battle armor helmet.

Fledermaus · 08-10-2009, 12:22 PM

That was such an stupid movie. But it was fun. Good, mindless fun. Much better than Transformers 2.

I hope this movie got dubbed for the Asian releases --

well i guess we disagree.

i had hoped at least one other character would resemble his cartoon counter part other than Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow

*The Stryker* · 08-10-2009, 12:44 PM

Comic convention costumes does not = Looks good in movie.

**GK Punk** · 08-10-2009, 12:45 PM

Storm Shadow looked nothing like the cartoon version.

Spoiler: loved the origin stories for some of the characters, though i wish they would've given more of what happened to Baroness. but liked the Storm Shadow/Snake Eye back story. wonder if Storm Shadow is really gone? Spoiler: also, why did they make Cobra Commander look lame? why couldn't they at least have gotten the mask to look like the cartoon? Destro at least looked like he should. Spoiler: also, now that the dude who's impersonating the President is in the White House, is he going to "pardon" Cobra Commander and Destro for the sequel? __________________ Add me: PSN/XBL; Nintendo Network ID: BDS-3.1.6; Switch FC: SW-3378-5206-8020 TMNT Fan Club: http://sot.ag/4jZR0 Visit My Wish List: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=30904 My Collection: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=40276

I hope this movie got dubbed for the Asian releases -- Spoiler: The Japanese character Storm Shadow speaks very obvious Korean in childhood and adulthood. I understand that the Korean actors probably don't know Japanese, but they could have easily found one Japanese speaker IRL or online to write out some romanized Japanese for the script. Korean is the closest relative to the Japanese language -- pronunciation would be a breeze. Whatever. It made the movie funnier and all the more enjoyable. __________________ We're calling it a freeway. Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena. Smooth, safe, fast. Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
