Fat Spanish Waiter Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 You guys are too awful to appreciate a good war movie. Stick with Woody Allen. That sentence automatically makes you funnier than Woody Allen. Congrats. Damned with faint praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The vibe of the TMNT trailer felt too close to Transformers to me. I know Michael Bay is producing it, but he's not directing it. It was a more serious than I was expecting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't know what to say about the turtles movie. Do they wise crack? Looks like it. Do they eat a lot of pizza? We don't know. Where's the foot clan? Why are they nine feet tall? Whatever. I'll wait for a second trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The vibe of the TMNT trailer felt too close to Transformers to me. The flying robot/metal debris is a Transformers staple and that's dead giveaway that he has some input in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Got one guy's defending Bronies, another one's stoked for a film where the first on screen visual is "A NICKELODEON Studios Film." The fuck is wrong with this place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antacular Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I read "it's a delight!" with enough zest to warrant a like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bustronaut Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That is certainly a trailer for a 2014 "blockbuster superhero movie" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The new TMNT trailer was attached to HTTYD2. My kid: "We can skip that one, can't we?" Me: "WE SURE CAN~!" Thank God my daughter shares my zero fucks given attitude about this shitty movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligerbusa Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 That trailer wasn't bad overall but those horrifying turtles telling April they'll find her was legit creepy. And then she faints because it's the only thing she does. And then fucking Skrillex kicks in. "So, they're aliens?" "No, that's stupid, they're turtles>" HUR HUR HUR. The only reason that line is in the movie is because everyone complained when Michael Bay said they were aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 It looks like a mid-90s Fox superhero movie of the week, like Generation X, but with terrible CG instead-of goofy practical effects. TNMT 2K14 wishes it could be as awesome as M.A.N.T.I.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Thing about TMNT is, it works best (and I am going to flat out say the original comics are the best it ever worked) when it's completely absurd, but presented completely straight. Giant anthropomorphized turtles who are A.) Teenagers and B.) Ninjas is an incredibly ridiculous idea, but it should never be laughed at in universe. Play it perfectly straight, and let the humor come from the basic premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 There were only about 8 things I hated in that second trailer. What's the eighth? (I assume the first seven are four turtles, Megan Fox, Shredder-terminator, and Michal Bay.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligerbusa Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 A lot of people have picked up on something from the trailer... William Fitcher's Eric Sachs (aka the Shredder) is seen talking to a shadowy figure and he says something like, "We've taken your armor to the next level". Well, someone brightened a screen cap and found that the man in the shadows looks like the new Nick version of Oroku Saki. Mark Dacascos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I can't defend how this is looking. I may have to skip it and it pains me to say that as I really did love all things Ninja Turtles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not really sure the best place to put this, but I'll drop it here. Super bizarre excerpt from Grantland's review of the movie by Wesley Morris: Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael go from a gang of pizza-loving brats into a clan that seems crossbred with a tag team of the professional wrestling program of your choice. (Mine: TNA’s Impact Wrestling.) Wesley Morris: Pulitzer Prize winner, Vince Russo fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Wanted to like it, but the Turtles were barely even characters in it. Listen, I can have fun with a popcorn movie, but this movie was way stupider than most. For sure a lot of what happens in the Fast sequels could never happen, but at least I can make sense of it. Was just hard after coming off the high of Guardians of the Galaxy and seeing what was done with Groot and Rocket to see the Turtles and Splinter so poorly handled. And seriously, I get that Splinter is a rat, but he simply looked hideous to look at. In the original 1990 movie he looked like a cool sort of grandfatherly rat, kind of like Yoda is this cool, sagely grandfatherly lizardy elf. Here, Splinter looked like he carried the Black Plague and I wouldn't want to go near him or talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
