TMNT: OotS, the Ghostbusters remake, or Star Trek Beyond?

Star Trek. It has the biggest fan base.

Ghostbusters.

Not for how bad it looks, but for how good it really ought to be.

I'm not seeing the issue with Star Trek. Granted I have just recently started watching the franchise (picked up Original series, Next gen, their movies and the 2 reboot films) and I'm only a few episodes in the original show (Charlie X was a great episode)

Star Trek. What Abrams has done is nothing but a disgusting perversion of Roddenberry's characters.

As much as I agree with this sentiment, I voted Ghostbusters because I feel it is a huge disservice to what Ramis and Ackroyd created. Star Trek has had a long run of good to great films and series but can always rebound from a bad step. Not so sure Ghostbusters can or should. They should have left well enough alone.

BayTurtles 2 all day. Whether or not you're personally feeling them, these Ghostbusters and Star Trek movies do have talent behind them. BayTurtles didn't. And I have no doubt that it's the worst movie of the three.

BayTurtles. The first one was an absolute disaster with no real improvement with the second one. Seriously, either reboot the movies again with a competent crew working on it, or just stop making movies all together if all you can make is crap.

And so much care was taken with Eastman and Laird's characters...

Hell, it was even bastardized when looking at it as a Fred Wolf adaptation.

Bay Turtles. Hands down.

At least the other two are trying something different.
What they're doing may not work, but at least they're trying.

Bay Turtles? That's just the same damn thing we see everywhere else.
And not done anywhere near as well.

So since you got your nostrils removed, how do you breathe?

I only hate nostrils on the Turtles. Not on anything else.

I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them. I hate them.

Out of these three movies, I had the lowest expectations for Star Trek Beyond. The last two movies have been disappointing, but they replaced the writers and director, and everything Simon Pegg and Justin Lin have said has been really encouraging. So I'm still looking forward to it. So I guess I can't vote.

Ghostbusters. All the reviews are over-praising it just to keep a pair of tits happy.

It wasn't bad at all, but we've discussed this at length and neither of us will change our minds.
