Fuppin’ Michael Bay…
That man! Ruining movies all over the place!
It’s not just that I don’t like the individual movies that he makes, it’s that he somehow manages to take all of these varied and diverse stories and turns them all into the exact same film. There’s no nuance or dynamic to them, it’s just all 100%, all of the time.
Like TMNT, for example, you could make a really cool, dark, immersive film out of that. Like Blade Runner with more fight scenes. But no, it’s now basically Transformers with mutants instead of robots.
Megan Fox as April O’Neill? I mean, come on…

I feel this sums it up nicely:

Hah! So accurate.
You’ll be seeing orange and teal everywhere you go now.
He’s making them for a non English speaking market. Same as Avengers etc.
Surely the idea of most films like this is for an adult to sit down relax and turn your brain off for 90 mins. Slating films like this really is pointless, it’s for kids really anyway
The last one was so offensively stupid, it wasn’t possible to ignore the huge flaws.
Transformers, Turtles… what will Bay add to his list of missed opportunities next time?
On the other hand, the Doctor Strange teaser is out.
Raphael
Michaelangelo
Donatello
Leonardo
In that order.
Shamus is in it. That’s a bit mad. To be fair it looks a bit better then the first one…. Which I didn’t watch.
Starring Sheamus… Irish WWE ‘superstar’…..
Point of reference, they were Ninja Turtles in the US and Hero Turtles in UK/Irl, (and possibly elsewhere).
Why would you bother posting this trailer if you think it’s rubbish?
This is like totally radical dudes and dudettes.
