I also found it very surprising that Leo said absolutely nothing.

His personality in that movie amounted to "is present," soooo...

The only parts that felt emotional to me are :

1) the scene with the baby turtles and splinter

2) the whole scene of the lair fight and also when shredder tells the turtles to drop their weapons. I found this moment emotional with the ost.

3) when raph rescues his brothers and yell "Leo". I like his facial expression like "what did they do to my bros ?"

However this movie is an awful mix between serious, goofy and emotional moments. It doen't have a main ton. Liebesman really did a bad job.

That is a wet fart.

Watching that, I felt like the only way to get any emotion from that moment is if you brought that emotion for the characters from previous versions of the franchise, not the movie itself. The writing was pretty incompetent.

Yes, but...that would require Show and not Tell storytelling, and that doesn't involve nearly as many actual explosions.

This also coming from the director who said adding the Yoshi/Saki rivalry would be "too complicated."

We're dealing with a bunch of geniuses here.

That was such a big excuse and nothing more, it had to be. Even if you choose to add a little of your own flavor to the backstory, how can the basic foundation of something already laid out for you like a guideline be "too complicated," yet you freely run off in left field to seek out unnecessary complication by trying to somehow force ~~April~~ Megan Fox to have some sort of magical hogosha connection.

Complication... no. A wrongheaded sense of trying to be unique...yes. *sigh*

By the law of averages there is at least one person out there who fapped to Megan Fox during her air-time in the movie. So someone touched themselves.

*IndigoErth* · 03-18-2016, 06:02 PM

That was not the question!

I know it played in 3D, but I'm not so sure films can touch you like that yet.

Really though, looking at a plank of wood would have been cheaper if that was their goal...

Would that one person be you?

It touched me in all the right places.

So much wasted money.

Oddly, I guess they could have given the guy (Leo) a few more lines were it not for paying the other guy (Knoxville) more to say them.
