How fucking hard was it for them to not give the turtles pedo rapist lips? ROFL...

It's better than the stupid costumes they had in the old movies. Those were so obviously costumes, I shudder just seeing screenshots. I'd rather obvious CGI than obvious costumes, this ain't theatre.

What fucking costumes are you talking about? The suits they used because cgi wasn't invented then? Yeah, they sure did an awful job...

Please stop talking out of your ass.

You don't add pedo lips to goddamned turtles if you don't have to...

No you don't, but, why is it so criminal to do so? The TMNT were originally turtles and were magically transformed. Who is to say that the transformation gave them lips or not?
I never thought Shredder would be so huge, or Splinter so damn small... that is just being pidantic... and I have to admit, these shows are pretty much for the younger viewers
that may or may not know much about them... they be the new audience.

But, once again, more boom factor in these movies and I bet they are also competing with the mass of anime that is around now.

I never thought they would put Shredder in a giant robot suit, but they did. Hence why they clearly don't give a shit about what they're doing.

I used to watch transformers. Honestly, what substance are you expecting from a transformer movie? The good transformers fight the evil transformers, that's as far as I've ever seen from the cartoons or the 3d thing with the animals.

I think it's us who should stop thinking the stuff we liked as kids had so much depth and substance. We loved it as kids, but it was aimed at kids, meant for kids and, in the case of the transformers, the main aim was to sell toys. Ninja turtle was mostly the same. There's absolutely nothing sacred in any of the childish stuff we watched in our youth.

Now that we're adults, don't expect them to still be aimed at us, because it is not.

Edit: I've watched and read again a lot of the stuff I used to consume as a kid, in some kind of insane nostalgia trip the last few years. Honestly, seeing them through the eyes of an adult, I can't stand to watch most of it anymore. At some point you get older, forget the pink tainted glasses, and move on.

Did I say NO ONE was allowed to come post about it? Nope. But, it's not gonna stop me from bashing it either. Until people stop paying to see every god damn Michael Bay movie under the sun, he'll keep making em. Shittier and shittier no doubt. He was literally quoted in saying "As long as it makes money." I'm so glad people enjoy supporting that kind of artistic expression. I'm sure at this point if he took a shit on your face and called it a movie, you would still shell out your 10 bucks to be "entertained".
