In fairness, that is one seriously low bar to clear.

If you want drama, watch the animated series, there's plenty of that on it, but for movies, they gotta go big, cause the movies are for the big event stuff, if you want the more quieter stuff, you read the comics or watch the TV show. |

How many movies have you seen in your life? I'm sure most of the good ones had good scripts, direction, fulfilling story and characters and so on. What you're saying here is that being "big" means you can't have any of these things and thus it's a positive is the movie is actually bad. This is the most bizarre defense of these movies you've made yet. What you surely should be advocating is that this movie does have a good script, compelling story and characters not that it's better for not having any of these things. |

in movies, you gotta go big, the audiences expect that, and they wanna see Turtles kicking ass. a movie is good for me, when it check marks the things you expect on big summer popcorn movies, no one wants to see a movie that's just the Turtles talking and no action, you gotta balance that stuff within 2 hours. |

TMNT doesn't have to be The Dark Knight, it's supposed to be a fun movie parents can take there kids to see.
I don't understand why people want there comic book movies dark. lol this sequel takes his cues from Fred Wolf, which itself is a fun show, and a big majority of the audience remembers it I remember in an interview Megan Fox saying, the new movie isn't The Dark Knight, since its a lot of fun and such.

It's for all ages, but kids are a big part of it, cause we were kids when we first watched the original series and 90s movie.
Imagine if you were an adult when TMNT first came out in the 80s cartoon, as an adult you be saying, Oh this is for kids. Fortunately I was a teen when it came out and I loved it, cause I was the right age for it. |

There's nothing wrong with writers actually making a real effort and coming up with something that's more intelligently written and doesn't treat the characters as some kind of overblown mockery. |

And do you remember the 1990 movie was darker than the first toon (with some light-hearted moments, obviously)? And we ended up liking that movie the best.

That was a story that was pretty dark, it was adapted in the 2003 cartoon, but it deviated from it, and Nick series will have an episode titled City at War as well. if they do another big event in a TMNT movie, it'll probably involve the Triceratons, but then it would be another alien invasion type movie again, since TMNT 2 would have covered that. |

That will never happen considering they're hell-bent on making these movies as goofy and cartoonish as the Fred Wolf cartoon. City at War was an intelligently written story which is something these writers can't pull off.
