She's a regular girl who falls into some extraordinary stuff. Was she drawn to be pretty, well, yeah, but that doesn't mean she's supposed to be sexed up. Her purpose is to be the turtles' link to the human world, not their crush or yours.
^^ All of this. I too found Hoag attractive, but that's neither here nor there - that's not the purpose of the character. It's not the duty of every female character to give the watchers a boner.

Wish I had watched TMNT(1990) instead of that YouTube video.

I know, right. It's such a lame, disgusting, childish thing to trash a movie because an actress wouldn't make the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit of the Week.

I can think of many well known, popular films that has a female lead I'm not really attracted to, at all. For example, I'm not really attracted to Carrie Ann Moss. Does that make The Matrix, the first one, and/or the actress herself complete garbage?

Is that what really defines a good movie/actress?

Yeah, I'm not really too fond any of the "Everything Wrong With" or Honest Trailer vids. All they do is nitpick everything to death with such the mentality of junior high schooler. Very rarely do they actually make a true, valid criticism or on far less rare occasions the validity was intended as anything more than a simple jest.

Um... you guys know that these kinds of videos are made primarily for entertainment and many who do kind of bad-movie-reviews do films they even like and/or have a personal nostalgic relationship with. Don't take everything so serious.

Not all of them though.

No, but I really didn't get a "hate"-vibe from this particular one. Sounds more like he's having fun finding things and pointing stuff out.

True - it's probably just my sense of humor. I found Plinkett's Star Wars prequel reviews hysterical, this one just didn't do much for me.

My problem is it's a complete rip-off CinemaSin's "Everything Wrong With" series.

believe me, I know

I lived in the city for years, and I once saw a guy duck into the phone booth (yes, a phone booth), and urinate, because apparently finding a bathroom was too difficult a task.

Likewise, sounded only like friendly poking to me, esp of things that aren't bad but only potentially funny because they're (purposely?) so obvious. Now if he had spent too long talking about each little detail in an obvious effort to try to demoralize it... yeah.

Meh, I don't usually have a problem with several people doing a similar thing, more to watch and choose from. He copied the style, but not a specific content. But that's just me, opinions are divided, I know.

what i personally cannot stand is how this guy gets called out on his own youtube page for ripping off CINEMASINS, and instead of addressing it in a civil matter, like giving a clear explanation, maybe stating that he really admires their work, and it inspired him to do this thing...but no, he straight up just curses people out, making himself to look like even more of a DB.

it possible, IMO, to like the content a person produces, and just dislike them as a person. im sure we all have examples of that

Exactly. People would not have cared about four mutant turtles and the giant rat. They would have in fact thought it was an average occurrence.

They'd probably just get yelled at during a fight for holding up the commute!

Only thing I didn't like about the original movie is the fact that splinter was a pet that watched his masters moves from his cage. I hated that. Other than that, I can't find anything wrong with that film.

And Raph's disguise didn't even work that well. Remember the taxi he rolled over?

Passenger: "What the heck was that?"
Driver: "Looked like sort of a big turtle. In a trench coat. You'r going to LaGuardia, right?"

Guess they really didn't care that much.....
