(better that though then do a 'King Kong' and add effects that are clearly not finished)

for TMNT 2, they are gonna have to go bigger, Just because of Bebop and Rocksteady, Those two characters are known to cause quite a bit of destruction in the City. They are like a force of nature.

Taking out "violent" action beats and replacing them for bad jokes would certainly fall under what Bay did.

I love that you're still trying to blame Nick even though this movie's problems begin and end with Bay/Platinum Dunes/the writers.

dude you don't want to have a practical conversation, you just wanna slam Bay. That's boring. I'm trying to figure out why certain fight moves were filmed and not ILM'd in post. I say it comes down to time & money.

Or Megan Fox screen time was more important.

For every 'required' eye roll-worthy butt shot (for any movie), a little bit of awesome dies.

And...I say it comes down to Bay wanting more stupid jokes. Which is a fact based on an interview he gave.

Why is your baseless conjecture more practical than my fact from the guy himself?

[B-Man]

Yeah he said he added humour cause the film's tone was too serious (you know what tone means, right?). He didn't say "we reduced the action & put jokes in its place".
How do you come to the conclusion that adding jokes means also having to simplify fight choreography?

[Candy Kappa]

didnt the extra material show martial arts that wasn't in the movie?

Because the more you add of something but want to keep the same run time, the more you to have remove something else to put it in its place. In this case, some of the action scenes just had to go to make room for more jokes and Megan Fox bouncing around and bending way over. Is that really so hard for you to understand?

There's some conjecture lol. You're assuming they had a runtime set in stone. You're assuming those two shots of Fox were added later (they weren't). You're assuming the additional humour wasn't largely done in ADR. We're all just assuming here, cept I'm making practical assumptions. And if you're gonna add your 10 cents, actually watch the featurette I was talking about first so you have some context & I don't have to walk you through this convo.

I'm not saying they were added later, I'm saying they had a certain run time they had to fill and when it came time to decide what stays and what goes, for whatever reason they decided a good shot of Megan's ass was more important than some full on martial arts action, so that **** has got to go.

Not a difficult concept to grasp. Can't imagine why he's having a problem understanding it.

[B-Man]

I get your point, I'm just saying those four stunt guys worked their asses off & delivered the martial arts action we wanted to see. Very little of it was in the film. And for all the reasons for PD to not include it, I don't think runtime is one of them (this is the same team who made Age Of Extinction nearly 3 hours). I think they ran out of time to complete all the FX shots in the brawls, that's why we got the bare minimum.

Which is sad, a shame and a waste of good talent. They kept pushin this crap month after month. It wouldn't have hurt another month or so to get some of that action down. It could have improved the movie. And if they had to sacrifice fart jokes and whatnot..... no big loss there.

Came across this and what I'm assuming is prob the Leo one.

Why aren't/weren't these things more widely available... >.> Why not, I dunno, put them for sale in stores. Might buy one of those if they were.

That beanie is actually pretty cool.

It's strange that it's taking so long for some countries.
The movie was released in theaters here (in The Netherlands) in August, yet the DVD/Blu-ray won't be released before February 25th.

What makes it even weirder is the fact that the Australian Blu-Ray I got back in December has Dutch subtitles, even the Bonus disc.

[THGhost]

Got my Blu-ray in the post today. Tis sitting nicely in my shelf next to Turtles Forever.

All I need now to complete my TMNT collection is the Nick series and... Next Mutation? Not so sure about that last one.

[Vicky82]

Yeah, I got my Blue Ray today, I got it in Sainsburys after I finished work. Will watch it later as there's nothing good on tv because of the football match
