Member Drunken Monk Posted March 28, 2014 Member Share Posted March 28, 2014 I don't. Even with a mindless spectacle (doesn't mean without soul - which is hard to find in blockbusters these days) I want to keep my brain on. Well, you're probably the minority as these blockbusters keep getting churned out. I, for one, don't mind leaving my brain at the door as long as the entertainment is good. For example, I enjoyed "Pacific Rim" upon watching it a second time. The first time, I was being over-analytical and it actually caused me to dislike the film. The second time, I had a few beers and just took it as robots beating the shit out of monsters. I ended up fully enjoying it. It's the same with other films. If they just want to squirt adrenaline into my eyes then, fair enough, I'll hold off on being over critical, but the spectacle at least has to have some modicum of "good" about it. There's a distinct difference between "The Avengers" and, say, "I, Frankenstein." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted March 28, 2014 Author Member Share Posted March 28, 2014 I am going to have to throw some salt on that wound. You would have found out sooner or later. This guy is the Shredder. He doesn't really look like a Oroku Saki. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001209/?ref_=tt_cl_t7 No, but get this...his name is Eric Sachs or Sacks, and from the trailer, he was an associate of April's dad....oy vey....can we say Amazing Spider-Man?

If Eric Sachs turns out to be an android with a krang inside of it, I'd be ok with it but then the whole "your dad and I wanted to make heroes." thing doesn't make any sense. I'm all for taking some liberties with source material but why can't the shredder be Japanese? Same with Splinter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me awhile, but I just figured out the connection. Guess the Turtles now have the same origin than Spidey ? WTF ?! (perhaps Raphael witnessed his parents being murdered in some dark alley when he was 8, that would justify his temper...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member derwood Posted March 30, 2014 Member Share Posted March 30, 2014 I dont care how entertaining this film might be, the turtles look terrible, megan fox is terrible, & the shredder is now just another crappy evil businessman what is with michael bay and ruining long lasting franchises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted March 31, 2014 Member Share Posted March 31, 2014 I dont care how entertaining this film might be, the turtles look terrible, megan fox is terrible, Entirely agreed here. The turtles are awful and I hate Megan Fox. To think some wanted her to play Wonder Woman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Keung Posted April 3, 2014 Member Share Posted April 3, 2014 As much as I love Johnny Knoxville, that's worse than having Jason Biggs as the voice of Leonardo in the new cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member trueth Posted April 3, 2014 Member Share Posted April 3, 2014 As much as I love Johnny Knoxville, that's worse than having Jason Biggs as the voice of Leonardo in the new cartoon. The cartoon's pretty good. They just introduced Casey Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Secret Executioner Posted April 4, 2014 Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 Meanwhile, in Michael Bay's secret hideout... Our villain and his henchmen are pondering more elements to butt-rape the franchise and piss off Ninja Turtles fans even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Secret Executioner Posted April 15, 2014 Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 Am I the only one who think those Turtles look a bit too big ? Seriously, at points, I feel like I'm looking at a badly done Hulk... Anyway, nice to see the old running gag of April fainting and Splinter doesn't look too bad. Wonder what his backstory will be and if he's to be an ordinary rat or a mutant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Secret Executioner Posted June 25, 2014 Member Share Posted June 25, 2014 Megan Fox, who the fuck ask her to come out of her fox hole? Agreed, but even without her, the film still wouldn't look that great - the turtles look freaking retarded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Gwai LO Posted June 25, 2014 Member Share Posted June 25, 2014 What's a M. Bay trailer without a giant building falling down. I grew up on ninja turtles and I'm not gonna lie that trailer actually looked decent to me. I just hope they focus more on the martial arts in this one and from the trailer it looks like they did (to an extent) lets not forget either this is a kids movie and the ninja turtles will always be geared towards children 10 and under.
