Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The first Transformers was amazing! The sequels all suck **** Grayson

Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The first one was a little too kiddish for my taste. 20ft robots, hiding behind a house from the kids parents, was pretty stupid. And beyond any redeeming factor after that scene. Just as annoying and cringe worthy as Star Wars: Phantom Menace adding Jar Jar Binks, and RDJ getting cutesy with a little kid in IM3. All movies just as bad.
 
Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The statues are cool looking but after watching the movie today, I'm not so sure anymore about wanting these statues, the movie was that bad...
I'm with you lol. I wasn't too into the new look of the turtles at first and thought the movie would change my opinion if it was good. However I really didn't like the movie at all and I don't think they should even continue with a sequel tbh.

Bay should just quit movies, they are all pretty bad.

Made 4 times its budget... So a sequel is happening.
 
Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I think it was a good kids movie, I'm sure kids 8-15 thought It was cowabunga dude :) thus the $477 million because these kids probably saw it 4-5 times in the theater. But as a movie for adults to see, I think it' fails... IMO....

I would of preferred a more mature darker overtone type of Turtle movie, more for adults then just kids... I think they made this movie to much like the cartoons with lots of cheesy one liners and a very thin story line... I think Michael Bay is great at doing action scenes, he just sucks when it comes to doing story. 5-10 years ago you could cover up a week story with cool special effects and action scenes, but people are used to those things now so the wow factor has diminished, now a days people want a strong story... IMO...

They do have a sequel listed for 2016, but I bet it does nowhere near as good as this one, because a lot of people saw this one out of curiosity hoping it would be good, now they know what to expect for the sequel I bet the gross take won't be as high as the first one..

I understand your point. But do you understand the differences between the percentage of adults that like TMNT to the percentage of kids. It would have literally been suicidal for them to make it a more mature movie... I'm shocked they even made it pg13...

You just said the majority of people that saw it were kids. That's why it made 400 mil. Kids are not going to support a sequel? Doubt that. Haha

I understand if you don't like it, but it was a pretty successful movie in both the state's and internationally.

Keep in mind a lot of an adults saw it also (probably only once) in hopes it would be a more mature movie about the Turtles, now that everyone knows it's just another kids movie I bet you'll loose a good size percentage of the gross in the sequel... Just a guess though... The really successful movies find a happy medium between making adults happy and kids wanting to see it 10 times :)

I think this describes the movie best from RT which gave it a score of 22%:

Critics Consensus: Neither entertaining enough to recommend nor remarkably awful, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may bear the distinction of being the dullest movie ever made about talking bipedal reptiles.

Anyways it's just my opinion about the movie.... I know some adults loved it...

Rotten Tomatoes is a joke! They are a bunch of followers. Tmnt got a 22%? Dumb and Dumber Too is currently at 25% and it might have been the worst movie I've ever seen. Noway tmnt was that bad. Rotten tomatoes is full of people who enjoy to tear movies apart.

Critics don't keep their jobs if they praise movies. The numbers I care about are the viewers reviews. 5.6/10. That's about where I put it. 6/10 was my score. But with krang/bebop and rocksteady rumored to be involved in the next film, there's definitely hype.
 
Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I'm already contemplating putting each turtle comiquette in its own shelf with their prime1 counterparts, calling it the evolution of the TMNT theme. :lol
 
Re: Prime 1 Studios Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Bun all this nonsense. The sequel will make more money, and the haters will go to see it. Maybe not all of them, but a huge chunk of them will go.

Dumb and Dumber not funnY? oh man, I am so looking forward to it. TMNT is ok, my 7 year old kid loves it... So, it's targeted for kids. Oh well, better than no TMNT at all I say. =)

Perhaps, but so did the transformer films and they were all crap too.

What your describing makes it even less.of TMNT film. Even though the original comics were tad more violent they were by no means "mature" or sophisticated. Trying to make a movie such just changes the Turtles like what many are complaining this movie did but in a different direction.

The old TMNT movie, I think I was about 9-11 years old. If I watch it now, it feels like a kid movie as well. So, not much has change =)
