TMNT 2014 BD/DVD Release Dates & Exclusives

[Leo656]

I'll get it because I'm an asshole.

Just a stupid asshole who has to have "everything".

Basically, I have the Next Mutation DVDs so I might as well have this pile as well. But I'm in no rush and I'm not happy about it. It's like a sense of doomed obligation more than excitement ("Well, it's TMNT, so, I haaaave toooo..."). If I drag my feet I might even be able to get the "special" one Used at my local FYE for a couple of bucks. I predict seeing a lot of these trickle back into stores in the Used bins starting sometime around February. So, anyone who "Has" to own it but feels guilty about it, just know You Have Options.

The only Bonus Content they should include would be one of those "You Have Our Deepest Sympathies..." cards. That would be most appropriate.

Not you too...

You haven't even seen it yet!

[Leo656]

The wife needs to see it yet. She needs closure. But like I said, like with the G.I. Joe movies, FYE Used Bins exist for a reason. Y'know I found Spider-Man 3 there for like 4 dollars? I mean, I overpaid, but still, I got to fill out my Spidey collection without too much guilt.

The Guilt was reserved for actually seeing Spidey 3 twice in theaters. Stupid, stupid kid. We all make bad decisions.

Just tell her to watch all the trailers together, then imagine another 55 minutes of boring. Afterwards you can use the 20$ you saved to dry your tears.

I can give the 3-D Blu-ray as a gift for Christmas since I'm also going to get the Target version with Raph on the slipcover. That way I can have my Raph Blu-ray with extra Blu-ray disc and the exclusive Raph statue! Sweet deal.

wish i had the money for pre-order

[Shark_Blade]

Should put my order in as well.

Gaze upon the horrors of our Shame Drawer!



Eventually, at best, this movie will join the rest above - something bought for $1, saved to have a few drinks and laugh at on some night we're feeling especially goofy.

Because you're right - it'll hit the cheap bins and pawn shops very quickly. It's pointless to pay full price. Just be a little bit patient and you'll get it used and/or cheap - the only way it's worthwhile.

That is EPIC!

I'm closing in on 300 BD's at this point. I only own 3 in your "Shame Drawer".

Well done.

I'm definitely not buying this thing on DVD.

The Turtles deserve way better than for me to contribute any amount of money to the bottom line of this pile.

Haven't paid, never will. FO' LIFE SON

The Daredevil Director Cut is actually excellent.

SERIOUSLY! I don't get you people at all.

This is why it sucks. This is exactly why playmates doesn't care how crappy their toys are. This is Why Bay is building a second mansion with his own movie theater. WHY should they care? You're voting for the crap by buying the crap. You are making all complaints void!

Somebody explain this behavior to me please!

I get that some of you liked the movie, that I get. But If you thought is sucked do absolutely anything else with your cash, like ANYTHING AT ALL!

It's Christmas for you, not Platinum Dunes. They get nothing for being naughty.

Find a charity, a Toys for kids program, a foundation, please, find someone who needs that 20$, and do something good.

I'm pretty guilty of this, as I have been with all other TMNT incarnations I've been critical of. My reasons for paying to see it at the cinema more than once and for buying the DVD may not be the same as Indigo's or anyone else, but I can fill you in on my reasons:

I can honestly tell you that there is something in each TMNT incarnation that I love, even if there is also something that I hate. For example, in the PD film I loved certain moments of interaction between the turtles, I loved the sequence where the turtles are running over the rooftop and the early vigilante scenes. Equally, I've been fairly critical of other elements (which i don't see any need to repeat here).

But I've always been very open about the fact that I believe that every incarnation has something slightly different to offer. They each form part of a rich TMNT universe. Even the Next Mutation (overall I thought it was pretty silly, but I loved that Splinter played chess with a blind man in Central Park). Whilst the PD film will never be everything I wanted it to be, I do take enjoyment out of parts of it.

It's also human nature to shout louder about the things we object to than the things we love. I've been quite vocal on these forums about things I didn't like about the PD film, but in truth there was also a lot that I did appreciate in it. Some may think this hypocritical, but to me it is balance.

So I will buy the DVD and I will enjoy watching it, as I enjoyed a few trips to the cinema. It's not that I consciously want to reward PD for mediocre film-making, it's that the film forms a small part of a large picture and as a fan of the franchise I intend to include it in my collection and revisit the elements that I loved from time to time.

[Davetello]

I probably won't buy it. I don't like the film so I don't see the point. I own the rest of the films, but this doesn't appeal at all.

My little cousin really enjoyed the film so perhaps I will buy it for his Xmas. But other than that I don't see the point. Cam't imagine I will watch it again any time soon, so no point buying it at £15 - £20 or whatever.

Well done.

We're on a mission to get as many terrible comic/video game/etc. movies as possible for as cheap as possible, then have some MTS3K-style date nights where we have a bottle of the bubbly stuff and laugh at them mercilessly. I think I married well.

The Super Mario Bros movie remains... elusive.

Seriously.

I mean... hey, if someone legitimately enjoyed it or really wants to own it, more power to 'em, that's fair. But I'll never understand the people who hate this movie, hate what it represents, and then continually reward its makers with their hard-earned money. You do that, and you are literally voting for more of this with your wallets.

Certainly give it a watch, you will surely enjoy it

[SS Kakarot]

The movie was in theaters here (The Netherlands) in August, meanwhile the release date for the DVD/Blu-ray has still not been announced yet.

A lot of movies that were in theaters around the same time are being released now.

Some of those are really good though, or at least not AWFUL. Supergirl and Hulk are both... questionable but decent, or at least they have much MUCH more going for them than those other ones. I also enjoy Punisher; I mean, yeah, Travolta. But on the whole it ain't bad. The Russian steals the whole shebang, of course. No lie, there was a HUGE pop in the theater when he busted in. I heard some dude all the way in the back row like, "Aw, SH*T, that's Kevin Nash, son!" Everybody actually started rooting for him until they remembered whose movie they were watching. That was classic. I'll always love that movie for that memory alone.

And yeah, Daredevil Director's Cut is SO much better. Just check it out, you won't regret it. The playground fight is still there, BUT they fixed a lot else. The extended plot makes the WHOLE movie fit together better. Plus, Coolio! The scene where he testifies in court is Golden. "So, then you went home and passed out from drinking...?" "Smokin' weed, mostly." I can't remember the exact quote, it's been a few, but it's a great scene. It's actually one of the best Director's Cuts I've seen, because it's not just a few extra scenes put back in to make it longer, it actually fixes the entire movie and raises it up a grade. Don't dawdle, go peep that sh*t.

Legend of Chun-Li is the biggest piece of sh*t I think I've ever seen. There's nothing enjoyable about it, even ironically. It's just a piece of f*cking garbage from the inside out and I really can't understand how movies that bad get made. Like, of all the people who could have gotten the rights to Street Fighter, you get someone who decides to make it completely unrecognizable on every level. I can't remember the last time I got so ANGRY watching a movie. And I'm not even a huge SF fan, I like it but my wife's the fanatic. I was just like, "Oh, GOD, every single thing about this is AWFUL" and I really wanted to kill someone. I hate it SO bad.

I can't imagine Super Mario Bros. being hard to find, every FYE around here has a bunch of them for like $4 used. Then again, this is NJ, not The Land Of Beavers and Maple Syrup, so I'unno how things work up there. Maybe it's a customs thing and they simply can't bring copies of SMB into the country at all because they're afraid it will spark homicidal rage and turn people into terrorists. They'd have a point.

Oh, totally! Even some things I might call "bad" have redeeming qualities, or some great cheese/camp value. There's no way I won't love watching a couple of Lou Ferrigno Hulk movies.

My wife got super excited finding a cheap copy of Howard the Duck, and I guarantee we're gonna enjoy the hell out of that stinker.

Nash as The Russian was perfection, and that fight scene was easily the highlight of the whole movie. And I really like Tom Jane as Frank Castle. Wish he had a better overall movie to do it in, but he probably made it a lot better than it would have been otherwise.

All right, that's officially at the top of the list! I've heard that the Coolio stuff actually made the overall plot make sense in a way it... really didn't in the theatrical cut, so that's a plus. And Coolio himself's definitely a big plus too. Also, I always liked Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin, and especially since he died a few years back I think it'll be nice to revisit that.

Yeah, none of this surprises me. My wife and I are both really into fighting games and definitely Street Fighter in particular (though she was always more of a Mortal Kombat fan), but... we'll see on this one. It might be the real endurance test of the bunch. Definitely won't hold up to this piece of magic:

Hahahaha! That's a solid theory.

I'm surprised, really. I've looked at every pawn shop and every discount bin in town and I've never seen a copy. We actually got the point where we debated ordering it online, but that feels like cheating. And there are... other options... but not having a physical copy breaks the rule.
