Ninja Turtles (2014)

[dmb9howell]

They're the world's most fearsome fighting machine
They're hero's in a halfshell, and they're green
When the evil shredder attacks
These turtle boys don't cut him so slack
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Hero's in a half shell... TURTLE POWER!

Fucking loved the ninja turtles. Had the turtle back pack and Trapper Keeper. I can't believe how bad they are going to fuck this movie up.

I would also like to point out I did not google that shit, that song is in my head for life. Remember the song they did with Vanilla Ice? Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go!

I just don't get why not be creative and create new things for kids these days that will belong to THEIR generation? Ghostbusters, TMNT's, Goonies etc. They were all our's (depending on when you were born - I was born in 1981) and they were all new to us. I still remember to this very day sitting and watching the very first episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with my 3 brothers. I remember the guy at the commercial break with the funny voice that said "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return after these messages" and we thought it was the funniest thing in the world.

Point being that sure when I was a kid we had Batman and Superman, but you're always going to have those guys. But we didn't have remakes of Howdy Doody Time or the Lone Ranger and the shows our parents grew up on. We had our own stuff. This day and age people seem lazy and just recycle other people's ideas, be it TV or movies. So lame...I also feel incredibly old now having said all that hahaha.

This movie will be horrible. But being a TMNT fanboy, I'm sure I'll see it.

On a side note: Noel Fisher's performance in Hatfields & McCoys was so convincing that I thought he was mentally handicapped. Apparently that's not the case?

Also without googling:

Splinter taught them to be Ninja teens
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines
Raphael is cool, but crude
Michaelangelo is a party dude
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Hero's in a half shell... TURTLE POWER!

Probably the biggest part of my childhood right there. Absolutely obsessed with these guys.

My 3 year old son just got into the new turtles on nik. We love it.

I bought him the original movie BD's and we have a blast watching them.

It began filming - http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/04/...begins-filming

"So far, the movie stars Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo and Will Arnett in an unspecified role."

So, will it suck?

Apparently they're "aliens" - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1364828.html

I don't think they're still going to be aliens. That was an old rumor/scrapped idea. But it might still suck. Either way I'm gonna see it.

I hope they scrap it, that is a terrible idea.

Not an old rumor. They are sticking with the aliens unfortunately. There was an article on Rotten Tomatoes recently about how one of the original creators, can't remember if it was Peter Laird or Kevin Eastman, was actually semi-defending the alien aspect and saying they are getting this movie pretty much right. The other co-creator, was quoted a while ago about how he thinks the whole idea is terrible and doesn't back it at all.

This is why the movie has been renamed to Ninja Turtles and not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as they are no longer mutants.

Transformers...big robots...hmmm...I know, Aliens! And explosions yeah! And Toe Thumbs!

Ninja turtles...hmmm...I know, Aliens! And explosions yeah! And Toe Thumbs again!

"The frustrating thing for me since I've signed on is that you hear that it's already got a reputation. I think people assume they know what it's going to be about, and those people are wrong. The assumptions, everything you read online is wrong. You want to tell everybody how great it is, and you can't really say why, but it is."

[fridge112887]

Despite what's been posted/said about NT, I'm still psyched about it. I grew up worshipping the turtles.

[fridge112887]

Not sure how I feel about this though......

I don't know whether he'll be the voice over actor or actually playing Splinter. If he's the latter of the two, then I'm really

[SoRight24]

This will be an abomination.

I really expect the first Transformers to be awful. So, I'll reserve judgement.

I really liked the Transformers movies. I don't understand the hate they get from most people.

It's the cool thing to do. That along with rag on everything Michael Bay does.

To be fair, he has quite the list of terrible movies to his resume. Complaints about him aren't completely unfounded.

Not to say I don't enjoy a few of Bay's movies, but overall, not good.

Armageddon
Pearl Harbor
Bad Boys 2
The Island
