Instead of the comic book versiojn - a parody of Daredevil wwith fricking Turtles, it'd be a parody of Batman with fricken Turtles.SlightlyEvil said:I've said for the past year that the ideal current TMNT movie would be like the original comics: a dark, gritty, and serious action film that seems unaware that its lead characters are FREAKING TURTLES, and becomes hilarious by its own seriousness, similar to Airplane!
Sadly, this appears to not be that movie.
See Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Inspector Gadget, etc, etc, etc.DTWolfwood said:yeah you don't spend hundreds of millions on CGI for a "Kids" movie. It's just a convenient excuse should people blast the hell out of this movie. Which from the looks of it, is going to happen.
Glad i'm going to see the Guardians of the Galaxy this weekend lol
Just found out the movie took about $120+million to make. which explains the dated CGI Bob was talking about. It'll break even and be profitable too (Smurfs made back their money 5 fold...) SO i take back everything. This is a terrible terrible kids movie.jmarquiso said:See Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Inspector Gadget, etc, etc, etc.DTWolfwood said:yeah you don't spend hundreds of millions on CGI for a "Kids" movie.

Not while BloodRayne and Uwe Boll still exists.wswordsmen said:This seems to be Michale Bay's attempt to defend his title as worst other franchise to movie adaptation ever. If he didn't already hold that title.
You know what that still sounds more appealing this TMNT film.ace_of_something said:What I'm getting out of this, is that my children would much prefer me to find some copies of the old 90's live action movies and project them on the side of the house.
Done.
You mean you haven't seen Transformers 2?Zachary Amaranth said:The downside is I now have to see this movie. Only because I have trouble believing anything could be this bad. This isn't a defense of Michael Bay (Who I dislike as a filmmaker/producer/anything that has him involved in entertainment) or the movie itself (which I fully expect does suck), just general disbelief. I literally cannot imagine a movie so horrible that it would border on a real-world "Springtime for Hitler" equivalent.
I don't think many were expecting the film to be good at all, fans or not. The group you're directing your snark at doesn't exist bro. I think at best most people were cautiously optimistic about something they hadn't seen yet even though their gut told them that pessimism was wholly justified. The group are people like my friends with kids who didn't care if the film sucked or not. They just wanted something to distract their kids with for a couple of hours.The Dubya said:Wait wait wait...wait....wait...
Are you telling me that a movie that looked every bit as shitty and derivative and unimaginative as blockbuster movies can get nowadays actually WAS every bit as shitty and derivative and unimaginative as blockbuster movies can get these days?
Seriously, I was baffled by how many people were actually looking forward to this crap. Whether you're a TMNT fan or not (which I'm not), how anyone couldn't see this trainwreck coming from a mile away is beyond me.
Actually this is a great review. It explains not only that the movie is a big bottle of suck-o-la cola, but why.Johnny Novgorod said:What's not normal is calling people who point this out "blithering idiots". I suppose Bob felt somehow threatened by that.Charcharo said:But... you are biased... Bob...
That is normal though.
Every month or so I decide to give Bob another shot at movie reviewing. Am I being incredibly unlucky or is he really is this biased/intolerant?
