*Allio* · 06-08-2016, 06:13 AM

Cons:
3rd movie will be Megafox the movie again.

When they makes these movies, why not have some kind of poll to see what the fans really want? Do some actual research.

The poll results would've been:

1. Rocksteady and Bebop
2. Krang
3. A Turtle Van that shoots manhole covers

Did the Angry Nerd and Black Nerd like the movie? I kinda see the Black Nerd liking anything TMNT related, but what did James have to say?

I'm not sure, but if he can't possibly say anything bad about it. It's like TPTB watched any one of his TMNT-related videos (I've seen them) and gifted him exactly what he asked for.

True... but I'm sure he would have wanted Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang in a GOOD movie.

This is kind of why I shook my head when I heard they were going to be in a sequel. Because I have waited forever to see those 3 in a TMNT movie. Just.... not... THIS movie. Not anything that had any relation whatsoever with the first Bay movie. Then they had Judith Hoag, again, she deserved to be in a better movie, and from what I heard, they ended up cutting her scenes out completely?

I honestly thought this movie was gonna blow everything else away just because of those three. I honestly thought the movie could have sucked twice as many balls as the first one 'but... but... but.. Bebop and Rocksteady!' I guess I'm surprised so many people saw through that.

I honestly expected all the crazies that so desperately defended the first movie to the high heavens to watch this one and make it earn twice as much money as the first one. I was seriously expecting Avengers numbers just for Bebop and Rocksteady alone. I guess a lot of them finally opened their eyes, or didn't fall for the same trick twice.

You know how you see all those posts on FB, usually from... a particular demographic about, "OMG, I saw a man not honk at another car for cutting him off... #faithinhumanityrestored!!!"? Well, this is a bit like that, but for me. Impressive.

Well, Mike Matei (The Robin to AVGN's Batman) has been bashing it on Twitter from the get-go, but I don't think he's seen it yet. Not sure about James but the two of them are usually on par opinion-wise.

Hmm now I'm even more curious to what AVGN thinks.

*Andrew NDB* · 06-09-2016, 01:55 AM

I'm surprised no glowing review from Harry Knowles yet. He's usually the first guy on the block bought with "pwesents."

Skipped around a bit. Yep. Big thank youuu for Bebop, Rocksteady, and Kraaang! Big ZOMGs on this. And then they sort of putz around and lament the 1990 movie.

*Coola Yagami* · 06-09-2016, 02:40 AM

Yeah, I'll watch it after I seen the movie to avoid spoilers. But the general point is that he loved it?

They even admitted it's actually mediocre ignoring the nostalgia elements and that they're probably never going to rewatch it ever again.

*chrisdude* · 06-09-2016, 05:06 AM

Funny.i had just watched this over breakfast. They weren't blown away, but I think they had realistic expectations. This movie was really about putting that cartoon on the big screen. And they were right to point out that it wasn't meant to be some classic film we'd be watching in twenty years. And, really, if you consider that it draws nearly all is inspiration from that show,, so much of what they do makes sense. I would think one could appreciate that, seeing as how so much of that has been purposely ignored in all the turtles movies. It's as lot of fans'' favorite stuff, or all they know of the franchise, and they've been waiting forever to see it

We didnt really watch one this time

*myconius* · 06-16-2016, 10:09 AM

even though OotS did poorly i still want to see them spin out another sequel from this franchise.

but instead of the CGI characters they could have the actors come dressed up like this?
it'd save em a TON on budget!!!

think about it??? since Shredder was frozen in the last film maybe they could re-cast Vanilla Ice to play him???
