What did you like about TMNT (2014)? - Page 4

*Powder* · 09-19-2015, 02:43 PM

Probably, yeah. I think there's a demo reel or something with a brief clip of it, so that's likely it. As for tryna find logic in that script, wouldn't it be easier to prove God's existence or cure AIDS?

*IndigoErth* · 09-19-2015, 03:08 PM

Sure, but it's funner, albeit less meaningful, work. lol

*TrickOrTreater* · 09-28-2015, 02:16 AM

"I only saw Batman once."

And when it ended.

*Guitar_Raph* · 09-28-2015, 04:15 AM

Gotta give it to the elevator jam, where Mikey drums with his weapon.

~~Leo656~~ · 09-28-2015, 08:51 PM

If by "give it" you mean The Finger. That whole scene was probably THE corniest goddamn thing I've ever seen. I'm seriously dumbfounded how anyone actually found that enjoyable. Then again, with this fanbase, little if anything shocks me anymore.

& lest anyone call BS I have concept art of failed mutated Foot Soldiers as well as a shot of April/Vern in the facility where the men are being experimented on, clearly from a scene that was cut. I'm not gonna bother posting them unless someone requests it, though. I'm lazy.

I'm requesting it - or a PM if you'd rather

@ 50 seconds April & Vern are in the facility where Foot Soldiers were to be mutated

The concept art for them I will PM to you.

~~Commenter 42~~ · 09-29-2015, 12:46 AM

Yep, that's a room full of unremarkable mutants in the making. A pretty big scene to cut if you think about it.

*Shark_Blade* · 09-29-2015, 08:48 AM

Leo's dorky "Well, miss... we're ninjas" (nods with fists clenched together)

Splinter freaking out when he found out the boys went above. Power tail attack moves.

April attacking Shredder and delivering the final kick.

Turtle van scene, where Raph sheepishly smiled at April.

Some of these little subtle things are my favorite stuff...

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 09-29-2015, 01:42 PM

Mine too. And I may catch some flack for this, but I loved that elevator scene, for its purely goofy improve value.

*Coola Yagami* · 09-29-2015, 06:30 PM

Megan Fox, her ass in particular. Honestly the only reason to waste any sort of money on that movie. And I guess the elevator scene.

*Powder* · 09-29-2015, 07:11 PM

So then you're saying the trailer was worth $10 or more, 'cause the one shot of her backside, & that elevator scene, are in it. I saw the trailer a whole bunch of times, for free.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 09-29-2015, 08:32 PM

Ditto. I'd like to see that myself.

Hmmmm. You know, I could have just watched the trailer and saved myself the torture (and money) of seeing the actual thing.

Personal gripe with all movies is that the Turtles themselves never defeat Shredder. So far the only cartoon version is the OT and Don in SAINW.

For real! I swear it has to be one of the first rules in storytelling that says, "Don't make your main character(s) really wimpy and helpless when finally faced with someone of equal skill, to the point of needing to be rescued by a member of the supporting cast." Because then it's like, whose movie IS this anyway?

In the old movie, it at least kinda made sense, because the entire story began with Saki and Splinter and ended with them, but it still kind of sucks in a movie called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (unspoken subtitle, in parentheses, "...Get Their Asses Kicked By The Only Guy They Were Ever Really Interested In Fighting In The First Place, And Have To Be Rescued By A Decrepit, Hunchbacked Rat"

). But at least it had some logic to it.

Like everything else in the new movie, April being the one to take down Shredder had NO purpose, except to put an exclamation point on the fact that it was in fact, "The April Movie." But yeah, the Turtles do have a history of not doing very well in Movie Boss Fights. Pretty crummy if you ask me. It always makes them look like they can only beat up flunkies. Sigh.

Y'know who else has a sh*tty fight record despite being the main character? Lion-O from the original Thundercats. Every episode, I swear... "Help me, Thundercats!"

You never saw He-Man pullin' that sh*t.

Even more embarrassing when you think that in every Turtles movie the supporting cast always defeat the villain.

TMNT 1990- Splinter

TMNT SOTO- Kills himself

TMNT III- Killed by Wic (Casey's ancestor)

TMNT 2007- Casey and April crash the Cowabunga Carl van into the main villains.

Turtles forever- Bebop and Rocksteady plug the laser back in

TMNT 2014 April kicks a Katana into Shredder

Man the movie Turtles track record is a bit sad don'tcha think?
