Well, crap I did buy a BUNCH of Orange Crush. (Don't tell Raph...)

EDIT: Also OP, don't think I didn't notice the strategic use of "Second Time Around." Well played.

I quit soda like 5 years ago. That stuff will rot out your insides.

I did contemplate on buying one of the basic figures from the movie. Now that our LCS is having a moving sale. But, I decided I've seen enough on reviews, the figures stink, I don't need a perosnal hands-on experience.

I didn't see the first one on cinema, and I might not see this one either, just don't feel excited with it being a continuation of the PD universe.

[Jester]

I'll admit, there's more about this sequel that I can say has me excited than there was about the 1st movie....but it's not enough for me to buy a ticket.

I know everybody wants more ninja-esque Foot soldiers, but even the "commando" Foot soldiers didn't stand a chance against these turtles. Wtf is a dude with a sword gonna do to a giant bulletproof turtle? Poke him in the eye?

Could just be different soldiers for different tasks. There was lots of ninja-type Foot stuff filmed for the first movie, but it was cut. I assume because they removed Sacks as leader of the Foot, those scenes no longer fit.

this is where im hoping Green is pursuing more of a soft reboot. im okay with keeping the shells bulletproof, the shells alone, but tone down (a lot) the 'hulk-ness', and we got ourselves a good fight. ninja v ninja.

Basically, it's probably going to be American Ninjas logic: walking in all black karate gi with a Kuzukin, tabi socks and carrying a sword, will give you superpowers and make you a unstoppable killing machine.

[chrisdude]

If I had to guess, I figure these ninjas look like ninjas because they were doing sneaky things, like tailing April. They probably were geared up to face the turtles.

But hey, the "soft-reboot" thing could totally happen. I don't want to sound like I'm denying the possibility. I don't know if they want confusing continuity issues, though. Like, "Why are the turtles small and not bulletproof, but the movies still called TMNT 2?" I seriously doubt they'd do that. BUT, in terms of franchise structure and reboots of comic book movies, they're trying everything, these days.

Drowned myself in promo stuff. Pizza Hut pizza, Crush soda.

Saved so much money.

Foot Ninjas looking like Foot Ninjas? About goddamn time. I'm not going to jerk them off because they did one thing right when it should have been done to begin with.

Megan Fox is still April, Stephen Amell is still a bland-looking Casey. And the Turtles will still look like this movie's Turtles.

Yeah, no. I saw it at home, for free. They didn't get a dime out of me.

Pretty much. I don't get this 2014 movie fans saying us "haters" will flock the movies to see when almost literally everyone of us just watched it for free. And yeah i wouldn't spend a cent on anything from this iteration.

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

put me down on the saw but didnt pay for the first movie crowd...wont pay for this one either


also people need to move away from this random idea its a soft reboot



its not , its a driect sequel. there is nothing reboot about it, they are just ignoring facts they put in themselves

you dont reboot full or soft with the entire original cast...the most recent tmnt soft reboot is 2007...it was established characters in a new story

[pennydreadful]

Yeah, I'm another one who didn't pay to see it - I'm not even sure if I'm going to watch the second one, even for the purposes of being able to mock it with impunity. You reach a point where the spork factor of mind-numbing stupidity is outweighed by the pain of actually enduring it.

I reached that point about 40 minutes into the first movie.

[Walkabout]

I still haven't seen the first Bay Turtles movie (and have no inclination to)

I might end up checking this one out, but I'm very sceptical to say the least.

There's a RiffTrax version, if you're a MiSTie.

Here's a foot Ninja

[Candy Kappa]

Eh, he looks underwhelming with the early 2000's superhero looking get-up. And no bug eyes. Hopefully, if they do introduce more ninjas looking Foot, they need the bug eyes, it's a part of the franchise.

Works for me! I approve.

Now PD needs to improve on other parts of the first movie... like having a coherent script, not ripping off Amazing Spiderman, and actually giving Shredder and Splinter backstory.

is that ninja wearing leather pants

Okay, that Foot Ninja looks like an actual modern, fictional ninja. Thumbs up for something in this flick after all. Idk, maybe I'm getting my hopes up, but I think Dave Green is taking this in a better direction than Jonathan Liebesman did.

Agreed.
