Reading these threads is depressing me right now...

...which is unfortunate because I enjoyed the f**k out of this movie. And that's coming from someone who also watched "Guardian of the Galaxy" less than 12 hours before the Turtles.

So, carry on guys. I won't be back here for a while.

TURTLE POWER!

You liked a movie that some people don't like. That's all there is to it. You need to rethink things if differing opinions are leaving you depressed.

*samxsteal* · 08-08-2014, 04:02 AM

It Is Really Up setting The Amount of Pressure Put on people Is ridiculous Heck alot of it is from people who haven't even seen the movie against people who have.

But that Just how these Forum Work You know.

This is hyperbole, but what you're basically saying is that if Jews and Islamic folks blowing each other up is bumming me out, then there's something wrong with me.

I loved the movie and half the comments I've been reading are from people who DIDN'T watch the movie...but are being spurned by others who have and didn't like it as much as I did. These same people are like "Yeah, yeah, see? I KNEW it was sh**ty! Glad I didn't waste MY ten bucks."

People will have differing opinions. And this is the internet, so those differing opinions will be especially aggressive.

As someone that objects to the movie and despises it, I'd just like to tell you to not let opinions like mine get to you. I don't let opinions I disagree with upset me. We're not out to make YOU upset personally for liking the movie. If you like it, that's legitimately great and on some level I envy you for that.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I'll be hanging out at the Nick and Toy boards if you need me.

That really is a tragic thing that's happening. This is a movie. A fictional, moving-picture.

No, you're completely right. But I respect YOUR opinion because you watched it and judged it for yourself. And that's all I'm saying: we, as fans, should at the very least give it a shot.

Again, it's hyperbole. But the simile still rings true: there are beliefs I cannot control, but depress me to witness.

There's enough information available that people can make informed opinions on the quality of the movie without seeing it. I plan to see it at some point because it's TMNT, but I'm not going to financially support this version of the turtles because I honestly think this looks like a train wreck of a film. (It's pretty much been stated to go in and shut your brain if you want to enjoy it)

*Netkeeper* · 08-08-2014, 04:16 AM

Yeah, I honestly haven't gone to see it -- I've just spent a lot of time lurking. After all, my post used the specific phrase "I object to the movie" for that reason -- I do object to it, but that doesn't mean I won't see it eventually anyway.

Don't want to financially support it? Then steal it! F**k Bay and PD and torrent it on Monday! But at the very least, watch it for yourself before making a decision, as informed as it may be.

Well, after you do, fair is fair. I will tell you this, and this is the most honest assessment of the film I can give you: there will be moments you like, moments you love, and moments that will piss you off...but in the end, you'll be happy that you get to hang out with the Boys again.

As if the current great cartoon doesn't already exist.

strawberryfields · 08-08-2014, 04:30 AM

What I find funny is that a lot of people actively watch the Nickelodeon children's cartoon then attack the movie for being unrealistic and cartoonish. How are some able to enjoy children's programming yet tear the new movie apart?

One's a cartoon and one is film that the filmmakers themselves have said is "realistic"

A movie about 4 ninja turtles will never, ever, be realistic

Because the show has better writing, better directing, better characters and also makes sense and is fairly consistent within its own "world". It's a better product and a better story.

Boom. Roasted.

madyankees · 08-08-2014, 04:37 AM

Why be depressed bout what others think? I thought it's a fun movie. That's all that matters

*Netkeeper* · 08-08-2014, 04:38 AM

The cartoon is marketed towards children. We expect childishness.

The movie is rated PG-13.

Its a children show for children. Not attacking fans of the cartoon but jesus christ if you can watch that **** you should be able to enjoy the new movie

Better direction and writing? Its a kids cartoon made to sell toys...
