Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (2016)

[JAWS]

how come PIXAR can deliver movies that adults love, adults even cry over
and can even win academy awards?????? ah???????

Isn't marvel movies for "Just for kids" Too? i mean, spiderman....that's like, for kids, technically

How come kids cartoons can be more serious and entertaining than some of these movies?

I never understood that whole "This is for kids" cop out. Im not saying You, im saying the guy in the video. some of the greatest cartoons or movies were made FOR kids.

Good point... However Spider-man and other comics had a long history of being and where popular way before the Cartoons. TMNT had a great run in the comics but exploded when the children latched onto the show.... Now if you are a fan of the TMNT comic then I can understand the outrage.. But IMO the outrage should be there for every single TMNT show or movie as they are all directed at the kids... These new movies seem to be more in line with the cartoon show... Those who are fans of those cartoons should not be all that surprised by these movies IMO.

I guess that was my point.

But I do think you make a good one.. However when people think of TMNT they tend to think of kids cartoons and toys... That is what the movie is aiming for. Could they be better movies?? Sure. But a movie based on a Saturday morning cartoon show is now going to get the respect that a 50 + years Marvel character has.

Those Pixar films and some of the Marvel movies are actually well written stories with good character development. I can't say there's ever been a great TMNT movie. The 1990 film is my favorite, but mainly because of the look and design of the turtles and environment. I also like the actors. However, the story is just as dumb as the last tmnt film, imo. The new one looks to be just as silly, just like the 80's cartoon, but that's fine.

I agree pretty much with this. Personally I did not hate the first one and I find some things to enjoy about the Transformers films... IMO get rid of all that dumb Bay humor in the Transformers films and you would have some pretty great action movies.

But that's exactly what the 80's and 90's cartoon was, a kids show to sell merchandise. I think the new film is giving fans of that show what they always wanted to see, so I disagree that they didn't care at all. Plus, they seem to have learned from the criticism of the previous film.

I agree again

The 1987 MOTU movie completely ****s all over these Bay-Toitle moofys.

Whatever floats your boat

The OG Henson TMNTs are the benchmark.

I don't think so.... But others do. I just thought of all the TMNT films and cartoon shows of the 90's, it was the best one.

Personally I found the new film to be a bit more enjoyable. Only because I find the original to be unwatchable now. I will probably find the new one to be unwatchable soon enough

I don't even get the appeal of the teenage mutant ninja turtles or how it's thrived for all these years. What a dumb concept.

Cowabunga d00d!

Because the cartoons and toys were for kids. It's not hard to understand. Most ( not all ) of the movies and TV shows ripped apart on this forum by 30+ year old men are made for 10 year olds.

Aren't you forgetting something?

 

[RIDDICK]

Sorry, still in shock after that P-ness joke in a movie "made for 10 year olds"...
Could easily forget something possitive.

The theme, man!

 

[RIDDICK]

I can listen to the classic theme whenever I want.
Not to mention it wasn't anywhere in the actual film.
And my ears are bleeding when I hear CD9.

I'll stick with this version of turtle power.

The only thing that could make that more 90's, is if Macaulay Culkin
shows up screaming

Same can be said about a grown man dressed as a rodent fighting a killer clown. We love it cause it's not of the norm and it has high nostalgia. We love batman and tmnt cause they give us enjoyment and are different and unique.

Lol. The nitpicking on this forum is high. Every time a hot toys figures is announced or a new movie comes out sombody already has a 30 page essay saying why they hate.

It's funny that even in a dolly/funny books forum, TMNT are still frowned upon

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Only Christopher Nolan and Frank Miller can save the Turtles and give the brand respect...like they did with Batman

Difabio giving the thread a cheeky poke, I see.

What kind of a world do we live in, where a man - dressed as a BAT.. gets all the cred?
