It's no different than you having the 2014 movie listed as your favorite movie in your signature.

But I'm not the one saying this movie is already great or awful. There's no way you can judge the whole movie before you've seen it!

I hate every single Theatrical TMNT Movie, (technically I should change my signature to Turtles Forever) and I prefer that one-minute trailer to anything we got before so of course I'm gonna put it down as my favourite.

Difference is I have an actual reason instead of 'OMG Megan Fox, she's terrible in every movie before this and that one character is totally gonna bring the whole thing down.' Or 'Michael Bay? Jonathan Liebsman? That's it. Movie sucks!' Cause as we all know EVERY Director is either good or bad. There are no intermediates and they have no potential whatsoever!

So your reason for liking it is "I hate everything else so this has to be the best by default." whereas people that use the reputations of those involved in the production to predict the quality of the new movie are completely off base. Interesting.

And there couldn't be people that watch that same one minute trailer and feel the opposite of what you do, right?

Difference is those people are comparing the previous 90-Minute Films to these one-minute trailers and even worst...concept arts.

I'm saying IMO that one-minute trailer was more enjoyable than the entirety of the previous films. I'm not saying the movie's gonna be great, but it's a more valid reasoning than comparing 90-minute movies to this one-minute trailer!

Agreed.

I totally agree

Agreed again.. Directors can get worse and get better and it is all in the eye of the beholder.
I like Liebesman's style. I love Bay's over the top action "lets have a great time" style of making films. From what I've seen so far "esp. from that last trailer" I am actually pleasantly surprised. I think there was a lot of personal passion behind this film with some of the people involved. Just around the corner my friend.. Hope we get the 2:24 trailer this week

What if people are judging the movie on its own merits based on that one minute trailer?

*cough* I mean... I'll just.. be over here... (Honest question though, I mean no judgement or accusations or anything.)

NM will never be buried - it lives on forever in my heart.

... not this again. Disliking Fox's casting because she has not turned in good performances in the past is a perfectly valid reason. If she pulls a decent performance out of her butt in this movie, then I won't have an issue with her casting anymore. At this point in time, I still have an issue because until I have been shown otherwise, her casting has been based on marketing rather than ability. It's great to keep an open mind and give someone the benefit of the doubt, but it's unrealistic to expect people to go through life not judging anyone based on their previous work.

It'd be like expecting the next Nickelback album not to suck.

you realize you are mad at people for doing the exacting same thing you are



Judging a movie BEFORE it comes out


and yes you saying this movie will be your fave movie of 2014 falls under the same logic than those saying this movie is bad BEFORE they even see it


neither side has seen it,,therfore neither side should be making such bold claims

you know what movie is my fave of 2014 ...Captain America..followed by spiderman..because i saw them

This is a new level of sunshine pumping. Plus this is completely contradictory. That's your opinion though - can't argue with what you like or dislike.

I said my favourite TMNT Movie is the 2014 version, not my favourite movie in general!

If you actually payed attention, you'd notice those were all TMNT-related posts on my signature.

Who says I'm judging this by directors or actors. Im basing this on the fact that I'm a tmnt fan and this sure as hell isn't tmnt anymore than Legend of Chun Li was Street Fighter or Dragonball Evolution is DBZ.

I understand you love the turtles. I understand you wish this movie would succeed. But stop being blind and see the movie for what it is. A horrible case of fixing what isn't broken mixed with making things extreme for the sake of making them extreme.

Years from now whenever we get a GOOD tmnt movie done right people are gonna look back and wonder what the hell you guys were smoking when you defended this crap so faithfully. Might as well say Batman and Robin was a masterpiece that blows The Dark Knight out of the water.

It doesn't really matter because you still haven't seen the movie. I just can't grasp the concept of picking something that I haven't seen as my favorite anything.

you are claiming the same exact thing..thats what we are saying..so to yell and fight with them for saying they dont like the film when you have it listed as your favorite is the same exact thing

It's a completely different situation. They already hate the movie for not living up to something that has a running time of over 90 MINUTES! That seems a bit presumptuous IMO.

I'm not saying this is a good movie, I just prefer that one-minute trailer to everything we have in the past.

but again

at the same time you are saying its your favorite turtles movie based on a one minute trailer


like it or not its the same exact thing you are calling them out on that you are doing


look at it this way..if tomorrow i came on here and said "Avengers 2 is my favorite over Avengers phase 1" then you guys would question what i am basing that off of considering i have never seen it outside of leaked set photos


you are taking a 1 minute trailer we all saw and saying this is your favorite TMNT movie out of all 5 we have..yet you haven't even seen the whole movie yet just the trailer

I don't hate the movie. I just don't like much of what I've seen so far or much of what the people who made the movie have done before, so my interest in seeing it has been declining for months.
