I'm very excited for this movie. I really think this one will be loads better then the last. I loved all the turtles in the last movie and I expect lots more of that this go round. I liked like lighthearted and fun parts of the last one. Which I think this one will build a lot on. I love seeing bebop, rocksteady, krang etc etc.

The thing I like about the last movie are the actors who played the turtles. The major thing that bothered me was that we don't get a lot of time to get invested in them. Once they show up, it's action action action. From what they have shown us so far, this looks like more of a turtle centric film which makes me excited. Less secondary characters and more turtles!!!

They literally just called back almost the entire non-Turtle cast to shoot more stuff. I wouldn't be super-optimistic about a ton more Turtles in this one.

Like maybe, but where? How? Have to wait and see, looks like they have some juggling to do.

And never mind that they now have four OTHER completely CG characters to shove in there.

New CG characters: Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, Krang bot.

Returning CG characters: 4 Ninja Turtles, Splinter

As WELL as the completely CG Technodrome.

They could barely fit the Turtles into the first movie with just Turtles, Splinter, and Sheddertron in there.

But never mind that. We now have several other new live action characters that apparently have decent amounts of screen time plot-wise.

Casey Jones, NuShredder, NuKarai, Human Bebop and Rocksteady, Dr. Stockman, whoever Laura Linney is playing.

On top of Megan Fox and Vern.

Something is going to suffer because of all this crap.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-07-2016, 09:50 PM

Because apparently it's not a very long movie. Under two hours, I believe.

There's plenty "More" but not "More Turtles", I wager. The scenes they are in will probably be "Bigger" in the sense that the whole movie is bigger. But I genuinely don't see any way to get a lot of stuff out of them with everything else they have to do. At least not a whole lot that's intimate, character-based, "smaller" moments of any kind, I doubt there's a lot of that.

Some people won't care, but some of us do. It'd be nice if it wasn't all "funny" gags and brainless spectacle.

That sure would be nice.

The day this comes out is the day I'll be staying home playing Mutants in Manhattan, which actually looks awesome and fun. Not in a "I'm trying to fool myself into thinking this looks awesome and fun" way.

I agree and with the producers and actor all but saying was an issue last time and that they were focused and fixing. That aspect this time around I'm quite excited. I mean we've heard from a large group of the cast that they were going to take the essence of the elevator scene and add that to this movie 10x. Which I think is great.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-07-2016, 10:31 PM

That scene in the elevator isn't funny.

People who think more of that is good genuinely astonish me.

Kittens with string.

WE KNOW, we all know.

We're all stupid people enjoying stupid stuff we get it. You think we're stupid.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-07-2016, 10:55 PM

They say acceptance is the first step. I think one of them is "Penance". I'd start working on that next.

Don't you know Sam, we should all be exactly the same!!! How dare you like something???

People who don't have even the slightest discerning taste, or any semblance of objectivity, should NOT be setting the standard for what the general audience is given. Don't be f*cking obtuse.

"My favorite part of a movie, was four guys in an elevator bobbing their heads like f*cking spastics. That was funny, not a complete waste of time." Fine, whatever, please don't write movies for a living and please don't try and tell people what's good and what's bad, because you don't know.

Sh*t was corny, dog. Hate to be the one to tell you, since you didn't notice. Also: no Easter Bunny.

I couldn't find Harold himself saying those words but just hearing it reminded me of it all the same. Leo if you ever read Harold I'm pretty sure he'd be your favorite.

So my older son saw the teaser during the SB and wants to see it which is a bit surprising to me. He is typically not a super hero type. So this might have to be a $5 Tuesday watch or cheap seats at the end of the run.

I Krang bot definitely intrigued me on this one. However I still stand by I think this movie is going to be bad. Throwing out all the stuff they did wrong in the first one, this one is definitely going to suffer the same fate as Spiderman 3. There are way too many villains they are trying to pack in here. They should have waited to introduce the Krang after they got the real Shredder and B&R in there.

Chopperface · 02-08-2016, 10:44 AM

Aww man that was awesome! Love Kraang's look from the little we got of him, can't stop loving that this movie is happily embracing the zany **** that made this franchise awesome. This really makes me excited for their takes on folks like Hun, Bishop, Leatherhead, Rat King, Tokka and Rahzar (his 2012 design is to die for and would be amazing in live action) and all the rest.

The new TMNT movie franchise is like Donald Trump.
Don't you dare ask me why. You bloody well know it.
