mind the walrus posted:Well yeah the movie was her last big chance to salvage her relationship with Michael Bay/Michael Bay's people after she acted like a brat on Transformers 2 and her meager attempts to give herself a career outside of Transformers completely failed to take. What's funny is the Honest Trailers douchebags immediately pointed out how the movie objectifies her to a crazy degree. they reshot stuff so it was closer to the cartoon? why, did they think that half a dozen goons getting all on twitter was going to inspire a boycott and cost them $50 million like seriously who gives a poo poo

Wicker Man posted:It has the TMNT movie as the 4th. Is it any good? Yeah its pretty good. The story about the bad guy and the monsters and whatever wasnt too good but it moved things along. The real point of the movie is the strained relationship between Raphael and Leonardo, and thats really good. Also the action is good stuff.

the first movie holds up well because it was based more on the tone of the original comics (which were themselves a piss take on the grim n' gritty style of comic that was popular at the time) and the movie delt with some pretty mature concepts - what is a family, how do you cope with losing a family member, child soldiers, etc. the second movie is a lot worse in retrospect because it came out when the ninja turtles themselves were a legit children's phenomenom and the saturday morning cartoon was mega popular and the toys and video games were flying off store shelves. the entire movie is much more brightly colored than the first, and the there's a lot more slapstick and kid friendly humor, and of course there's a vanilla ice dance sequence. it'd probably hold the attention of a kid now-a-days too, but it doesn't offer a lot for adults the third movie was a turd because it basically took all of the established characters and setting and threw them away and put the turtles in a bland adventure that ultimately doesn't matter because ~*~time travel~*~. it was a little more faithful to the comics, in as much as the later volumes got really into time travel and alternate dimensions, but it didn't really push the boundary of weird otherspaces enough to be interesting. instead it took NINJAS and put them in FEUDAL JAPAN and it was just painfully obvious that the turtles were going to be heralded as legendary heroes or whatever

Donatello is the smart one, but we can't just trust people to figure that out if they're somehow watching this knowing nothing about TMNT whatsoever. Let's give him nerd glasses just to be safe.

By that point the turtles were already a phenomenon with toys and games and poo poo. I have no idea what went on with the second movie's tonal shift, but I suspect its entirely studio meddling.

The first movie is taken pretty closely from the comics, actually. I think the only real difference is which turtle ends up in a bathtub coma and in the comics they'd decapitated Shredder already once at the end of issue 1. (The one they fight later is magically reanimated worms, duh.)

Yet another film that proves CGI characters can have more life in them than Megan Fox (then again, so would a lamp). I had fun watching it, especially that ridiculous sequence where they're going downhill. Also had a chuckle when that one dude is like "they're aliens" and she's like "are you an idiot" and then they look at the camera and the nerds in the audience who were pissing poo poo over Michael Bay destroying their childhoods squirmed a little in their chairs.

Wrong people that keep claiming the 2nd movie is good, answer one question for me. What exactly is the secret of the ooze? It's right there in the title but the movie is so poo poo they forgot to give the ooze a loving secret. It aint "it mutated them!" cause that was no secret.

I would have to view it again but I am mostly certain in the 1st movie they are shown to be aware of their origins. Edit: Yea, 25 minutes in Splinter tells April the origin with the turtles sitting right there chipping in their 2 cents. https://youtu.be/UyKntwBEB0I?t=25m31s Cyberball 2072 fucked around with this message at 09:06 on May 29, 2015 |

For the second movie they tried to recreate that formula with another small budget and more no-name cast and crew (and MASSIVE studio interference telling them to cut out all that violent ninja poo poo and instead have them fight with yoyos and deli meats) and it pulled in an okay box office. The third film had an embarrassingly bad box office and was demolished by Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Beethoven's 2nd and Last Action Hero . (It did, however, do a lot better than Coneheads which also came out that year and is the only other movie of note by the guy who directed the first TMNT film. Well, unless you're old enough to remember Electric Dreams.) When Bay's TMNT came out I was really mystified as to how the gently caress this obviously malformed abortion of a movie could have come into existence so I did a bunch of research into the production which ended up as some essay-length effort-posts in Cinema Discusso if anyone is interested. The tl;dr version is that the film was coming in 2 years late and 50% over budget so the studio closed down the production, fired the writers, brought in a new guy and went "Here's all the scenes we've filmed, we can't afford any more effects so you figure out how to connect all that together without costing us any more money" and he went "Make 50% of the film about April O'Nei!l" which is why you hardly get more than glimpses of the Turtles until 20 minutes into the film.
