It's probably going to be higher score than Warcraft.

I'm 100% confident about the movie being rotten after all the smoke is clear.

Of course it will. It probably sucks.

Don't worry these are the British reviews, it probably change when it's released in America.

I mean, not to pick on someone who might have struggles with communication... but oof, that review was painful to read.

... wait, what? Is this explained at all, or does he just have the ability to teleport out of nowhere?

Well, the first BayTurtles scored lower than BvS. I'm sure that this movie has lower expectations than there were for Batman v Superman, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll have a higher score. Movie critics at least try to be (or appear) objective, so I don't see them being too kind here, based on what we're hearing and what it's a sequel to.

Saw it today, and I must say I feel its only slightly better than the first one. Its a more coherent film, as far as films go, but fans of the original comics/ original 1990 film will most probably struggle through it. It has to be remembered that this is a film made for kids, and we're not going to get the 1990 film again (which ironically was also made for kids but was not dumbed down or cheapened by the need to fill more seats). I am not a fan of any of the cartoon characters, (Bebop and rocksteady/ krang) but this film plays like a feature length episode of that show, with lots of product placement and cultural references thrown in for good measure. Casey Jones is a security officer (?) Shredder is known only as "The shredder" - and never given a name, they speak of the retromutagen as the "purple ooze" and the relationship or lack thereof between Krang and The Shredder is ham fisted. the whole film is ham fisted, clunky, rushed and pretty gaudy. There is no real sense of threat, because the bad guys are never established beyond bebop and rocksteady, despite them being the "errand boys" - The desire for something gritty and full of heart in a TMNT film goes unfulfilled once again! ah well, always have the 1990 film!

These turtles aren't.

None of the turtle versions are Japanese American, they were all born in America. IDW turtles are probably close to being Japanese American.

It's responsible for the movies, 2003 series, and the 2012 series. Whether you love it or hate it, is irrelevant. It IS responsible for introducing so many people to the characters. The same way that the 60s Batman introduced people to that character.

I actually grew up with it , and I was a huge TMNT fan since day one, but honestly even when I was kid, I only liked the turtles and the characters, I hated everything else about the show, I just loved the overall idea and when the 2k3 show was made I was so relieved that my favorite characters are finally getting a good show, yes , I still get that nostalgic feeling when I see the original cartoon, and I still collect the old figures, but damn I dont wanna see this cartoon turtned into a live action movie with all its stupidity, and its not the definitive TMNT, yes its how people knew about the TMNT franchise but that doesnt mean that every single live action movie has to be a copy of the 80s cartoon to get everyones aproval...we need something new, the IDW comics has bebop rocksteady and elements from all the adaptations of the turtles but still has its own flare, they didnt dump the whole comics down just to introduce new characters.

I think it will. Granted, TMNT isn't an academy award winning film, but BVS, that was just a long drawn out depressing pile of crap that met nobody's expectations. Turtles at least has some things going for it that make it an entertaining film. Guaranteed it gets higher than BVS. No sad Megan memes.

[Foombamaroom]

Damn, this thing is getting torn to shreds. That's really unsurprising.

[Autbot_Benz]

wait for its release on friday when actual reviewers review it like Schomes Knows Chris Stuckman Black Nerd Richard Roeper Jeremy Jahns etc.

Oh I get what you are saying perfectly. To me, it was the 1990 movie. It felt like a big kids/ adult version of ninja turtles and at 8 years old, made the show start to feel amateurish to me. I looked forward to the films from then on, until Ninja Turtles 3. Then I kind of lost interest in the turtles for a while. I never watched the 2003 show. I was grown and doing other things by then. However, I did still pick up the comic books and when the 2007 movie came out, I started catching up on the 2003 show.
