Based on ticket sales, not so much on audience approval.

Please don't attempt to correct my posts. Over here it's quite a different story unless you were one of the children who saw it.

I've seen it twice and it got a applause both times. Personally I don't think it was applause worthy but the general public seems to like it.

"So there's a couple of deleted scenes, but really what you're seeing is the best of what we shot."
Confirmation that this guy needs to be fired and so does the writers for making the script only for 100 pages.

Anyways the interview did answer alot of questions that needed to asked.

He actually did say a lot of the fan criticism was valuable so at least he's respectable in that sense!

Well you're right about that...
But despite that, He's still not a very good director.

How come everyone gives Marvel Studios props for fixing the whole Mandarian disrespectful fiasco in IM 3 AFTER the fact. Meanwhile PD's listens to fans, changes the title from Ninja Turtles back to TMNT, even though from a re-boot branding perspective the former makes more sense.

Then ontop of it they changed Shredder from a military general named Shraeder to Eric Sacks a white businessman weebo, back to the origin of the character who is a Japanese ninja master. All in time for the release of the actual movie yet people continue to give Bay, and PD complaints?

Such bias. Ever shifting hall pass for certain studios, and pdocution teams. While other ones get an overly critical eye, even when it makes little sense.

I don't even like Marvel films. I like some of the characters, but I find most of their films to be bland and boring.

I have been on board for this movie ever since the first trailer was released, I pretty much trusted everything they said and I was already aware about the fact that they do listen to fan critiques. This convinced me that there was a chance that the film might actually be good despite that most of the people involved in this film don't have the best track records. Yeah, that all changed up until I saw the film...

I don't think that gives them any more credibility than Marvel who have a strong foundation (unlike PD) and just simply build on top of that.

Bland, boring, formulaic. African American sidekick, bland / un-intimidating Power Ranger villains, too many jokes undercutting tension. See the exrtemely overrated GOTG for example. Yes, I agree with you.

Fun characters though: Robert Downey Jr., Drax are fun to watch ... even if their movies for the most part are MEH.

But I'm asking why do MS get a pass for changing a character to it's respectful roots AFTER movie backlash. Meanwhile people are now complaining white washed Sach wasn't the Shredder, even though PD wanted to please fans and changed him back to being a Japanese ninja master in the actual film?

They can't win with you guys.

They already won me over ever since the trailers were released, so it wasn't difficult at all to get me to like this film in the first place.

Even if they were trying to please fans, they didn't have to sacrifice the whole plot of the movie for that very reason. I was one of those people who didn't even care if Shredder was white, all I was asking for was a great TMNT film.
And sadly I didn't get that.

I thought it was a good interview, And hes right about Superheroes sequels, Sometimes they try to do more of the same like the 1st one.

Hopefully with TMNT 2, They can focus more on the Turtles.

If he directs a sequel, hopefully he can prove me wrong.
But I doubt that's ever going to happen.

He lost all my respect after flat out lying about what really happened behind the scene of this movie. He's no different than bay.
