It's official now, nobody likes this movie.

Bay, stop raping my childhood.
>>
Jeez it wasent that great but I dident think it would be this hated.
I wonder what the metacritic score is.
>>
>>83656307
TMNT was never my thing, but i loved transformers and was hype for the first one.

Why must he do these things to us?
>>
>>83656312
Auctualy come to think of it that score does make sense I liked it but only just so I guess it's not that odd to get 34%
>>
He should've adapted Street Sharks. Radicool enough to incite nostalgia, but not 'important' enough for audiences to have high expectations.
>>
>>83656327
Alright yeah the metacritic score is 40% and I can't see many people giving this movie anything higher then a seven so that tomato's score makes sense
>>
>>83656334
thats actually not a bad idea.
>>
Really the only two disappointing things about it for me was that Shredder didn't get a fight with Krang and the Turtles didn't get a full fight with Beebop and Rocksteady.
>>
>>83656301
why does 59% of the audience liking it count as failure/popcorn spillage? Shouldn't that be an average grade edging towards them not hating it.

It dident have enough fight scenes in general

And the small fight they did get was decent while it lasted

>>83656355
They encounter them once and come to blows for about 10-20 seconds and then the plane they're fighting on crashes so it becomes more of a comedy bit with both sides trying to grab the Maguffin while being tossed around.

Steven Amell is the worst Casey Jones adaptation I have ever seen

Michael, please, I am fucking BEGGING YOU no...scratch that PLEADING WITH YOU to read a fucking comic book

Never has there ever and I mean fucking EVER been a single TMNT adaptation where Casey woke up one morning and said "I wanna be a cop and or a detective!"

Casey is a murderous psychotic street thug who screams GOONGALA! to put the fear of god in his victims eyes before beating them within an inch of their lives. Casey is only "calm" when he is hanging with either April or Raph

How can one director suck so badly at his job?

I liked it, but I set my standards really low. I was impressed that they soft rebooted Shredder and the Foot into actual ninjas. Turtle personalities were spot on, art style is still garbage but grew on me. Bebop and Rocksteady are definitely the highlights. Overall felt a little slow and the soundtrack was lackluster - they played a few soft classics, but after the trailer with Tricky, I thought they'd jam the fuck out.
>>
>>83656301
Isn't that like, the 2nd best score for a TMNT movie?
>>
>>83656449

Won't lie...I sort of missed the white business man who was suppose to be the original shredder till fans bitched loudly at Bay to rewrite the script

This overacting Asian man wasn't doing it for me also Tyler Perry was too fat to play Baxter Stockman couldn't they find someone...thinner?
>>
>>83656449
Oh yeah, forgot one thing, the ending credits had GO NINJA GO NINJA GO and I was glad that I was one of only four people in the cinema because the others left as soon as the credits came up and I was free to lose my shit
>>
>>83656462

Real talk...TMNT 1 is a piece of shit...but yet I still prefer it to TMNT 2

Namely because Leo/Raph's "disagreement" over the Ooze is the worst plot element of the movie and it hardly gets a resolution because Bay can't write character progression
>>
>>83656385
At least it was a decent comedy bit
>>
>>83656504

Marvel movies have fucking brainwashed me

I fucking sat all the way till the end of the credits waiting for something to happen...like Krang going to all the other Krang and telling them to prepare an invasion for earth and then suddenly BOOM Triceriton's start attacking.

I would expect most scores be be between 4 and 7 maybe 3.5 and 7.5
Anything lower is probably just mindless bay hate and anything higher is missing the several glaring flaws in the movie
>>
>>83656515

You think Bay is gonna make more of these movies? They don't really make as much of a return profit as the Transformers films with Transformers 4 being the biggest return profit he's gotten thus far.

Also fire the fucking marketing idiot who released this movie and X-Men apocalypse hardly a month from each other in the middle of everyone having massive super hero fatigue.
>>
>>83656301
59% liked it. That's higher than I expected.
>>
>>83656522
Me too, I was waiting for a cut to Dimension X, or some Triceras, or maybe something featuring Baxter having a sample of the purple ooze. They're signed on for a three movie deal, I hoped they would tease the next installment.

Eh I always stay because I like to watch the credits.

Wow right when we're getting a fucking 5th Transformers movie soon featuring Omnicron.

What else is there to cover? They can do the Dimension hopping angle and meet Usabi Jimbo. They can do the Demon Shredder Arc...hell if they really wanna reach they can do the jump to the future arc.

>>
>>83656572

It really was a stupid marketing decision to release this film during the Summer of Super Hero movies where a new hero movie is coming out literally every month and everyone is starting to get fatigued.
>>
>>83656572
That's a good point
Critics will watch a movie that they expect to be crap the audience mostly expected something decent when 41% of those who expected to like it got burnt that's a problem
>>
>>83656301
kids don't rate movies so no
>>
>>83656590

The movies biggest problem is Michael Bay doesn't understand how pacing works and plot lines get dropped as quickly as they're introduced

Like the fucking Leo/Raph plot

and Mikey getting what he wanted in the end but he doesn't end up wanting it anymore.

>>83656587

There was only one kid in the whole theater when I went and saw this movie

Hell this has been like a recurring thing with all the superhero movies I have been seeing its namely fat autistics and old people.

Michael Bay's fucking terrible scripts make no sense

Also Megan Fox was in full "I literally need the money mode" all throughout the course of the film

Michael Bay probably still treats her like shit.

This movie was pure fun, I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. I set my standards fairly high as far as standards for action romps go. A flawless tribute to Turtles history, they even got a cover of the theme as opposed to that faux rap shit from the last movie. I look forward to the next one too, fite me.
>>
>>83656522
The appropriate after credits scene they totally dropped the ball on was Baxter turning into a fuckign fly. How hard could that have been, dammit!!!
>>
>>83656706

The plot is all over the place. Krang is hardly the "antagonist" of the film because we barely see him if anything Shredder feels more like the villain

Also, Donny "hacking" a piece of the Technodrome to find out what it was was total bullshit.

I dunno. I feel like I enjoyed this because I wanted more out of its setpieces and action than I did the plot. And it delivered on that level. My only conplaint is the weird 'should we or should we not turn ourselves human' subplot that felt wacky even for a Turltles movie.

Cinemascore listed it as A-, which is far more credible than Rotten Tomatoes.

I enjoyed it. It was fun. Casey was the worst part of the film. Arrow guy can't act. Bebop and Rocksteady stole the show.

Nigga, what the fuck are you on about? He's an executive producer. He had nothing to do with the films and they hardly resemble his directing style.

Yes it's mostly Turtles with only two scenes with any amount of solo April the first is at the very start and the second one is when Bebop and Rocksteady are being created

Have you ever got a 59% on a test? That's an F.

I know it doesn't really count for shit.
But in my opinion, I think the first movie killed this movie's potential. Nobody really liked the first one, so why would anyone in there right mind flock to the sequel? For the same reason I did "surely it will be a bit better".
You can tell by watching it they tried to give the critics of the first movie a more cartoon-like experience. But they're too weighed down by being connected to the first film.
There are a lot of improvements for sure and I loved that they used more elements from the comics, the 80's cartoon and the 2004 cartoon as well. It's that just for every laughably stupid cartoonish element that comes from previous media that everyone wants, there were bad casting choices that are unavoidable when they need to continue and connect Out of the Shadows to the previous film.
Megan Fox and Will Arnett in particular were terrible choices that cannot be changed now, despite being in the movie less than the first one.
As for Stephen Amell, it's not that I think he was bad, he was just bland, a true 5/10. It wasn't enough to dislike or love him, he was just okay. But as a Casey Jones, he and the writers have work to do.

And I think that 5/10 stands for the movie as well. It wasn't as a terrible movie, but it just wasn't a great movie either. It really tried to be different from the first. But it was too bog down by connection to it.
The Soundtrack at least was great.
>>
>>83660591

>Will Arnett
>Bad

He's the only one that actually has chemistry with the CGI mini Hulks. He's a joy to watch on his own and interacting with the turtles.

I wouldn't say that this movie is weighed down by the first one's decisions. They seemed to got around a majority of them, aside from the awful character designs that makes them look like niggers.

But the first one's awful reception certainly turned off any chances of the sequel making any money. It's a shame because this one felt Saturday morning as fuck. It doesn't need to be a fucking Civil War with it's so called political drama or BvS with its horseshit symbolism. It just needs to be a fun turtle movie.

>I seriously can't say what you people want anymore.
Wut? It should be very clear what people want.If we're going to settle for not having any standards as far as the plot concerned, it should at least be obvious that people want to see clear, well done fight scenes involving the turtles. What we got instead is a big buildup to Shredder only for him to do literally nothing, a few seconds of trading blows with Bebop and Rocksteady while the camera jumps around, and a few minutes of fighting Krang in which you can barely make out what's happening because they're either fighting in the background of Donatello hacking, the camera is shaking and spinning around them, or the camera is just zoomed in one of their faces.
Half of the action was shown in the trailers. It's not hard to deliver on what people want yet they continue to insist on stuffing the movie with pointless scenes focusing on the humans.

Yeah, everywhere else 50 is usually the threshold for passing.

But then again the tests aren't multiple choice, and there's usually a curve in difficulty with 25% of the score being tougher questions/exercises to separate the ones who studied the night before from those who studied the whole semester. American questions are mostly of uniform difficulty, I found.

Bay is the one secretly ghost-directing. The directors are just puppets to disguise his involvement (like when they wouldn't put M Night Shamamalama on After Earth). Bay is still the one in control. Hell, Bay was the one who wanted to make the turtles Aliens. He even came out and said it proudly "The Turtles are Aliens!". I hope Bay gets cancer and dies.

- get rid of Kraang
- get rid of Casey
- get rid of all that other shit

At the beginning, set up that the Turtles have been fucking up Shredder's flow since the last movie and he decides to fight fire with fire. He mutates Bebop and Rocksteady, and the film is pretty much 90 straight minutes of pure ass-kicking across Manhattan. Turtles get beat through most of the movie because they still can't work as a team, but in the last act they get their shit together and manage to beat B&R.

Boom. I just made Out of the Shadows a decent movie. Fuck, you can even throw in an after-credits scene of Kraang striking a deal with a destitute Shredder.
