Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I thought it was better than any of the past live action ones...
And it's mainly for one reason...Shredder is a bad ***.
All that being said, I feel like this movie knew what it was going to be, so it decided to embrace it and do it right. In some ways, it was like a satire on a typical Michael Bay movie. Really odd, but really...I kinda dug it.
Not an Emmy winner, but certainly a good enough popcorn action flick for me to enjoy.
I do wonder how this movie would have played out with an April O'Neal who doesn't have the acting ability of a piece of wood, but oh well.Too Old To Game Club
Urban Meyer is lol.Comment

I dunno how Meagan Fox gets rolls. "The looks of a porn star and the acting skills of an amateur porn star"

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I didn't like that
SpoilerSplinter learned his skills by reading a book
I also don't understand howSpoilerThe turtles got mutagen to heal Splinter, when Shredder feel with the mutagen in his hand
Plus many other things that didn't make sense. Still enjoyed the movie for what is was. But it was a weak story line.Comment

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I was a huge turtle fan growing up and this movie just plain sucked. It seriously pushed April as the hero and she didn't leave the damn movie for more than two minutes. Plus the inconsistencies within the movie likeStuff like that annoyed me. I'm a stickler for details and this just didn't do it for me.Spoilerwhen they said April's father died. Splinter said he saw him die burning down the lab. Oh boy said he shot him. Which one was it? Also, April decided to save some animals over her pops? Why was she even there? Why'd he put her life in danger?#WashedGamerComment

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
Had low expectations going in and it turned out ok. I loved the turtles, the personalities were great just everything else was a big meh.

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
The story and origin were awful. I don't know how someone wrote this and thought it was an acceptable origin story. Just really awful. Full of plot holes. It definatley deserves its rotten score. But at least my 8 yr old son liked it. As a huge turtle fan its absoutley diapointing that this is how they return to the big screen. Anyone know if Michael Bay is going to have a hand in desroying ghostbusters as well?Comment

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I went in with pretty low expectations and have to say it wasn't a complete train wreck. There were several funny moments. This movie had Michael Bay written all over it. I will say that they nailed the personality of the turtles spot on.
My biggest gripes were thatSpoiler1) The turtles were HUGE and indestructible--basically Superman x4 and 2) Shredder looked like a transformer--all he needed was a decepticon logo .....which was necessary since he was facing 4 nearly invincible foesComment

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
My thoughts are basically this:
1) The origins was ridiculous. It made the whole movie feel very isolated, contained, and small. Dude wants to take over one city? The only person in the movie not directly related to April was Shredder.
2) Personalities were all great and I actually enjoyed the trite action hero role for Raphael completely with action hero-y stances and toothpick chewing. I even liked April's character despite being playing by Megan Fox.
3) CGI was turrible. Just turrible. It was cool and had a nice effect when the whole scene was CGI, but all the live-action and CGI scenes were distracting to me.
4) Both Shredder and Splinter were badasses, but damn if Shredder didn't look like ****ing Lord Zed from Power Rangers.
5) It really made me want to watch the cartoon.

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I pretty much felt the same way. I feel like if they would have cast someone a little more charismatic than Megan Fox as April that this would have turned out to be a lot better.My thoughts are basically this:
1) The origins was ridiculous. It made the whole movie feel very isolated, contained, and small. Dude wants to take over one city? The only person in the movie not directly related to April was Shredder.

I have to say though I'm surprised it wasn't as terrible as it was looking like it was going to be. I'm actually alright with them going ahead with a sequel. Not that I'll be rushing out to go see it but I think they can make a solid improvement from this one. Plus I really want to see Casey Jones.Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches.

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I'm still trying to reconcile the turtles new look and how out of place they and Splinter look in scenes with humans. Never gelled well with me.

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
Agreed. They could have toned it down with all the tech on Donatello. Too over the top, IMO.Last edited by GAMEC0CK2002; 12-22-2014, 09:11 PM.Comment

Re: Michael Bay Tapped To Relaunch Live-Action TMNT Franchise
I gotta say its better than i thought it was gonna be. Most of our qualms stem from the fact most of us grew up with the classic tv show. but the look of them gave changed dramatically over the different series. The movie drew on many of those styles. The story was forgettable just a bad guy vs good guy movie but the originals were too. The new movie was less grounded in reality which is noticeable especially if you enjoyed the original 2 movies. We don't need every scene to be action set pieces. look back at the fight scenes in the first 2. no big explosions. They were simpler but they were better since its not sensory overload as it is with cgiBecause I live in van down by the river...Comment
