The first movie wasn't dumb though. Ok, yes the concept is ridiculous; but they played it completely straight, and it was about as perfect an adaptation of that as you're ever gonna see. The first film is amazing as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. The concept of giant talking turtles fighting underground ninjas is ludicrous, but they treated it as you said completely seriously and told a really good story. |

Add Casey Jones into the sequel, and I may be turned around with this whole thing.

It is better than the Last Airbender, with comparing Nickelodeon movie it is better than the Last Airbender. It is bad, but it at least not boring, Last Airbender was boring.
But what the hell, first of all Michael Bay got his bad guys mixed up, instead of the Footclan we got Cobra instead. The Footclan aren't even ninja, they are just terriost that use guns and bomds and modern techlogy. Maybe Cobra Commander lend Shredder his henchmen.
The origon story, they got rid of Himato Yoshi, he doesn't even excist, so Shredder obcession with Splenter and the Turtles is because ah....., take over the world. Instead Yoshi replaced with April's dad. Uggh.
And instead of Casey, we get Verne, who is kind of a April's love interest maybe, did they ever know about his character, Verne plays for the other team if you know what I mean. If I am Whoopi Goldberg character, I wouldn't just fire April, I would have had her commited.
As a Karai fan, I was happy they didn't really screw up her character too much, I wish did more, get more of a character with her, instead they give her backstory to that Eric guy. I thought perhaps in that chase battle in the snow, you could have had the Turtles save her life. Perhaps that did happen, but it wasn't clear, because explossion and effects take top priority over character moments and story telling. Perhaps when Eric said to April a girl with dead daddy issues I understand perhaps referring to Karai, I doubt it though. We don't know even if she if she has any ninja skills or jsut like the rest of the Foot, just people with guns that has minimal martial arts ability, But perhaps her doing much is good thing, less chances to screw up her character.
What happened to Eric, did he get away? I thought Eric would be defeat either killed or arrested.
It was an okay movie, not as bad as I thought it would be, better than The Last Airbender, that is something they can be proud of I guess.

What Whoopi Goldberg character should have done to April O'Neil after April was talking the turtles, 1:44 to 2: 14 of video, that is more realistic.

Awesome news. I still think it's hilarious how much you dislike change in your comics but how much you love Bay's take on these franchises. |

I believe in paying for everything or getting it from add supported sources. But this year I decided if anyone wants to watch Bay movies they should do so through nefarious means. It needs to stop. |

I just saw it, thought it was decent. I don't get the massive massive hate it's getting.

You'd watch 90 minutes of a mayo jar if bay's name was stamped on it somewhere!!! ...ok, that was uncalled for. But still!  Bayonnaise? And 90 minutes? More like 163 minutes. A new phrase has been coined! People will be known as watching the bayonaise when they put up with the same crap over and over again. I also hope the Wacky Deli reference isn't lost on people. |

I do wonder if people know that Bay did NOT direct this. He's a producer, I think.
Also, dude made Pain & Gain. He can make whatever he wants after that.

Complete and utter shit, and that's just because I can't think of a worse thing to call it. I feel genuinely angry about having spent money to see it.

It had a few cringe worthy lines , but overall a pretty decent movie - Megan Fox did all right in the role as well
