Most of the Turtles merch is from the current cartoon and not the movie. I have no idea who the movie is supposed to appeal to. It looks nothing like the current show, and I haven't heard of any adults that were fans of the 80s show who thinks it looks anything but awful. It looks way too serious and straight up bad.

people who grew up with something don't think the new versio nof said thing looks good. i am shocked.
Well reviews are out and it is bad. The current cartoon is fun and the comic from IDW right now is great. One of the original creators actually works on the comic which probably why it is so good.

Its fuckin' ninja turtles laffo at people getting up in arms about it.
Listening to the Shamrock interview now, shit's legit.

Me neither. Either it's good or bad and this Turtles always just looked like shit that of course would come out if Bay's company.
It never dawned on me but one of the weird things is that they have lips now. It was was a decision made on getting them to emote/animate better more realz etc.
Not saying I will go see it in theaters, but I will at some point.
It's not a Bay film it's a film produced by his company.
The director of Turtles did amazing work such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Wrath of the Titans or Battle Los Angeles.

People need to shut up about Bay's involvement and instead realize that the actual director has made nothing but shit:

So it's a Bay film when it's negative, but it's not a Bay film when it's positive. Got ya.
Mike Tenay would produce the theme song.
Who said anything positive about the new TNMT movie?

Michael Bay is like Cena. You can't fucking stop him.
Transformers 4.
Domestic: $241,868,334 24.1%
+ Foreign: $763,800,000 75.9%
= Worldwide: $1,005,668,334
edit: Wow he produced the Purge??? I think that did well too.
The last 2 transformers movies have both earned a billion each worldwide, that's really nothing to scoff at.

Babies like turtles movies, and there's more babies than grown folk. Who cares though?
Hmmm. According to Box Office Mojo, all his movies were profitable.
First of all Bay films are not fun and playful. These days they are miserable experiences that wear on your sanity.
Secondly I said it's of course shit that would come out of his production company because everything Platinum Dunes has done was shit.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

The only good thing to come out of TMNT is the Vanilla Ice song.

No doubt. I also enjoyed them just fine. Way better than part 2. Glad Bay got away from that style.
It certainly isn't Kevin Nash cause he sucks.
I thought you were cool...

Try going to OT and then you'll run back here lol.
I bought a talking Ninja Turtle action figure yesterday for my six year old nephew's birthday. Kid loves them, I felt a weird sense of pride knowing kids these days still dig the same shit I was into as a kid. It is hard enough to relate to them, but Turtles I fucking know.
I love TMNT. My son loves TMNT as well. He knows that I think this new movie looks incredibly bad. I can sense that he still wants to see it, though. It's depressing. I may have to take him.
My wife pretty much rolls her eyes whenever I say director so and so made X movie and coming up Y movie. She doesn't give a shit.
If she doesn't think she'll like the movie, we ain't gonna see it together.
Luckily she is on board with most blockbusters so I don't have to even worry.
Don't crush his dreams. Let the kid make his own mind. Be a good dad. Take him.
I would agree. T4 was very hard to sit through. I have absolutely zero attachment to the movie, toy, or cartoon franchise. That movie was diggity dog shit. For every reason a movie can be bad. Bad acting, bad directing, bad editing, bad script, bad camera work (THOSE FUCKING DUTCH SHOTS MADE ADAM WEST BATMAN CRY), a handful of really bad effects shots, and it is 8 hours long. It did have the so bad it's good thing going for it at times. Other times it was just a chore to watch.
I really don't have Michael Bay hate, as the only movies of his I've seen are Bad Boys 1/2, Armageddon, The Rock, Pain and Gain, and T4. T4 was the only one I didn't like.

Goddamn jmdajr you know you can edit one post to include more than one right. Triple posting up in here.
My boy has practically all of the TMNT action figures, new and old. It's great. We've had a few massive battles with every character. Even made up a game with dice rolls and stuff where I was the bad guys and he was the good guys. I rigged it so he would win, of course.
Welp not sure if legit but...
IT HAS BROCK'S DEATHCLUTCH LOGO ON THE SIDES.
You were the bad guys and you didn't rig it so YOU won? What are you teaching this kid about business and banks?
That TMNT sucked too, ugly ass costumes.
Hey, I might be the kind of dad who lets his kid make up his own mind about religion, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let him like a Michael Bay movie.

That's a good ass game
The second film always sucked and there are literally a dozen iterations of the Turtles.
On another note: Twitch had a good run. Now they are implementing their own version of content ID for audio.
Good point.
