Will you Add the New Movie to your DVD/Bluray Collection?

LeoRaph · 09-25-2014, 08:40 PM

This is more of a question to those who found just a few too many inconsistencies with the new movie and overall just didn't like it as there is no doubt those who liked it will add it no questions.

Will you add it to your collection?

I won't be adding it to my collection. This to me is along the lines of next mutation, it's there but I don't want it. I've never added next mutation to my collection nor do I intend to. With this one I can barely even remember it, it was just too freaking fast. Like next mutation it just isn't Ninja Turtles to me, it felt as if they had just been tacked on to a movie that was so poorly written it could have been anything. It also didn't help making them supporting roles in an April O'neil movie.

There were just far too many 'mindless dumb' things in it (I'm working on my own review I'll post it eventually) that I just can't add it to my collection. It doesn't help that the one thing that I truly remember hating in this movie was Raphael. The design should have been a red flag (Leo despite unnecessary bamboo armour clearly got the better end of the deal), to me this is with no doubt the worst Raphael ever and I remember not liking 2K3 Raph to start.

But at least the 2K3 Raph 'seemed' like a meathead who had other colours in him where Gregory Abbey gave him depth and shades which you could hear in his voice. Unfortunately, Alan Ritchson could not. He was a one dimensional meathead through out the entire movie, even when there was supposed to be emotion Alan's voice didn't carry it like the better Raphael's Gregory Abbey, Nolan North, Sean Astin and the #1 Raph of all time who set the bar Josh Pais. It also didn't help he could throw a freaking shipping crate but not move robo shredder and his freaking sunglasses & toothpick defied gravity. Donatello, Leo (Pete Ploszek), Mikey could be better with solid intelligent writing but nothing could save this Raph.

That being said, I think once it becomes available on a stream I will watch it again to see if I'm being too harsh as I quite honestly can't remember much that I liked but for the life of me I just can't put it amongst my collection. I just can't...

How do you guys feel?

*Powder* · 09-25-2014, 08:46 PM

If I can get it cheap, or as a gift, yes. It's turtles, can't have an incomplete set. Even if I do wish it never happened.

*TurtleTitan97* · 09-25-2014, 08:48 PM

Not gonna happen.

*Bry* · 09-25-2014, 08:53 PM

My opinion on the movie is still "you couldn't pay me to watch that again." So... nope, not a chance.

I'm not a completist about this sort of thing, though. If I hated a specific installment I'm happy pretending it never happened. I collect, but only the parts I enjoy.

*Netkeeper* · 09-25-2014, 08:59 PM

Only if I can find it secondhand cheap a few years down the road. No sense in directly giving Bay my money for a disaster.

*Coola Yagami* · 09-25-2014, 09:13 PM

.......hell no. For the same reason I won't get New Mutation or the Christmas Special. Just hell to the **** no.

*Cure* · 09-25-2014, 09:17 PM

Yeah, I'm gonna get it for sure.

This explains my plan to actually get the DVD or Blu Ray...on the cheap that is. I have Turtle Tunes, Turtle Christmas and at least the movie cut of East Meets West on VHS (my reason for not picking up NM on DVD is it's edited. I'd like it as it originally aired, please.) As Powder said, it's Turtles...and it's video...I have worse pieces of TMNT A/V media in my collection.

Guess I have no business in this thread then.

*ProactiveMan* · 10-02-2014, 07:41 PM

"A Worthy Piece to my Collection"? Sure. I've got the Octagon on Blu-ray; I'm not going to draw the line at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

*shuriken* · 10-02-2014, 07:47 PM

Nah. I'm happy owning the Turtle Movies I like.

cloud · 10-07-2014, 12:02 AM

I'm a sucker with movies based on characters I love. I collected the box set of the Batman movies because even thought I didn't like Batman Forever that much and dislike Batman&Robin I still am interested in the behind the scenes materials. Same reason I am interested in getting the 2014 Ninja Turtles movie(Besides the fact Amazon has a statue gift pack). To be honest, I was not impressed with the 2014 movie and find it disappointing in how it just quickly told a poorly thought simplified new origin story for the turtles and Splinter. They movie did get the personalities of the turtles and made Megan Fox's April O'neil and Vern likable. The humor in the movie works very well.

Leolead · 10-07-2014, 06:03 AM

I can't wait to dissect the movie, and find all the easter eggs!

*MrPliggins* · 10-07-2014, 07:11 AM

While I enjoyed the movie, I voted "no". I don't usually buy movies anymore because they normally just collect dust on my shelf. The last one I bought was "The Avengers", and that's only because I was an extra and wanted to freeze frame it to see if I could spot myself anywhere. So it's been like 2 years since I have purchased a movie. However, if I see it highly marked down one day I may pick it up.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-07-2014, 07:26 AM

You were an extra in "The Avengers?" That's cool, Mr. Pliggins.

As for my stance on this, no, I'm not going to get it. I didn't waste my money in the theater seeing this so there's no way in living hell I'm going to bother spending money on a
DVD for this piece of sh*t.

What are you going to do if you can't find any?

For a start, we'll get to figure out what's written on back of the turtles' shell and Mikey's bandana.

mexichrist83 · 10-09-2014, 08:50 PM

I will not be buying this. The movie was a whole lot of nothing and I honestly have no interest in ever seeing the movie again, to be honest. However, it would be fun to own just to be able to show people how dumb and bad it is and riff it.

While there are very few bits that were even slightly decent or entertaining they are certainly not worth the price of purchase. If there was a commentary track I would be very interested in hearing what the filmmakers had to say about this movie but I still could not justify that as a reason to own this. I guess the only reason I could see myself owning this is if it was gifted to me by someone who didn't know that I didn't like the movie but that's about it.
