RT:  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2014 currently has 17% positive critic ratings out of 40 reviews.

This reviewer basically says what I knew all along:  CinemaBlend:  TMNT review

This reboot is the worst kind of cash grab. A studio saw a brand name they could exploit for name recognition and (fingers crossed) nostalgia, put together a script completely devoid of any kind of emotion or creativity, and is now hoping that you’ll ignore all of that because of CGI explosions and identifiable pop-culture characters. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is entirely hollow, poorly put together, and will require an audience on its level of stupidity to survive. Don’t be one of its supporters.

yep.  And more younger viewers are flocking to youtube rather than fawning over hollywood.

Yeah, true.

I've been waiting for this one to get released though, just to hear how much of a disaster it is.

That's the problem.  They aren't expected to make good movies and never do.

I bet it still makes a bunch of money though.

No way.

I bet you Guardians will steamroll it out of theaters in 2 weeks.

This will all just be a bad memory soon enough.

The original TMNT black and white comics were definitely on the dark and scary side.     I have a few from my 1980's collecting days.

I guess am safe to resist the urge to run out and see it, considering the last movie I saw at the theater was saving private Ryan I guess I was more than safe.

I saw Transformers 4 about a month ago. (My brothers wanted to see it.)

What a total shitfest. They rehashed the same plot they used for the last two (Humans laugh off Decepticon threat and tell the Autobots to GTFO, only for Megatron to rise back from the dead, somehow, and start wrecking the humans' shit, which leads them to cry out, for the umpteenth time, SAVE US OPTIMUS!) The only little addition to the plot was that some fucktarded CIA director decided that all aliens were bad guys and went into 'Purge the unclean' mode.

The only decent flicks I saw this summer was the new Cap. America and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Your sarcasm needs adjustment. Yeah I'm pretty much done with seeing movies at the theater. I do get a tickle out of people who get all excited about a future movie when nothing really has come out about it, then get the downers when real facts come out.

The new turtles looked like shit. The trailer looked lame and boring. It might have had a chance if the TMNT were in their hay day but, but that's no longer the case.

- Make GI Joe suck so bad that any of the 30 minute cartoons would demolish your movie. Check.

- Make The Transformers unwatchable to the point that I thought someone was fucking with me. Check.

- Turn The Smurfs into some CGI shitfest. Check.

- Make TMNT horrible even when people thought it was going to suck. Check.


It's funny how all of the originals with 1980s tech were 100 times better (TMNT being in the 90s) and they've thrown 100s of millions at these things. All I'm waiting for now to complete the rape of my childhood favorites is for them to somehow manage to destroy Robotech.

This is kind of like complaining about a Godzilla movie.  It's a fucking comic book movie with Megan Fox.  It's a stupid movie made for stupid people.  What did anyone expect?  I'd consider it a cinematic triumph if you can watch it more than once without getting brain damage.

There's plenty of movies with implausible characters that are still good movies.  Hell, nearly every comic book movie is pretty wacky when you think about it.

Dude, they could have given that budget to Ciro Nieli (Exec. producer on the new Nick TMNT series) and he would have killed it.  

Shit, look at what a passionate director and writers did with a walking tree and talking raccoon.
