Megan Fox to star in Michael Bay's "Ninja Turtles"

Aliens, huh ? And after that we'll get Transformers x TMNT, we will learn that their planet is just next to Cybertron

Now crossover pondering was a staple of many a childhood but I think you just kicked any idea that it might be cool in the head.

Eh?

I watched TMNT and played with the toys and shit when I was younger but do I really care at this point? Not really. I mean the movie will be shit but probably just as shit as every other TMNT movie and show in recent years.

At least Michael Bay admits he makes movies for 13 year old boys instead of trying to praise his works as "high art" like other hacks in the business. He makes terrible movies but he's self aware.

Aliens. Have mastered inter-planetary travel, possibly even inter-stellar. Come to Earth. "Dude, let's live in their sewers and eat pizza!"
Seems legit.

Having faced societal exile for their deformed appearance and behavior.

It's really just District 9.

Ahhhh! Makes sense. So they're the Teenage Exiled Ninja Turtles.

Can't wait for TMNT The Movie--The Game.

Turtles in Time or GTFO!

Seriously though, Michael Bay sucks ass as a director and Megan Fox isn't a ginger, not to mention she can't act her way out of a paper bag, though I am sure she can suck her way into an acting gig pretty easily

Unlike many, I actually have nothing against Megan Fox, and thought she did ok in Transformers. But having watched various incarnations of Ninja Turtles, I think it's safe to say Megan Fox is the worst possible choice to portray April. Seriously, she looks nothing like her (in ANY incarnation), and I just can't imagine her grasping April's personality. I'm not even going to bother hoping that half the movie isn't the camera ogling her, like in Transformers. *Sigh*...

But despite all that, I know I'll probably see it anyway.

Transformers was ruined as much by Shia Lebouf as it was ruined by Megan Fox and Michael Bay. The script was terrible from day one and didn't work with how the series was originally written as there is no consistency to the story. What should have been a good movie series, was ruined by horrible writing.

The Transformers trilogy was one of those terrible movie series that I just absolutely loved despite everything. It's really weird. one moment I'll be ranting about all the problems it has, the next I'll be watching it and having a rollicking good time.

That said, I think Shia's problem was more the writing of his character than his acting. When Michael Bay wrote his character Sam, it feels like he just went "let's make him act like an older version of the same jittery character he played in Even Stevens, but a billion times more exaggerated!"

Last I checked, the new reboot on Nickelodeon is pretty popular and well-received (though I haven't seen it myself). Also, the 2003 series (the one I watched growing up) was really good too, and ran for a good five years or so. The only "slump" TMNT ever went through was most of the 90s, iirc.

the only good and true series is the 80's and 90's version with shredder, krang and the technodrome. and Donatello was always coming up with some cool and new crazy invention and vehicle.

Don't you mean 80s version? And meh. I tried to like that one, but couldn't. It gets props for introducing the characters and the originality in the writing, but basically every other joke consisted of, "Look guys, I bought a pizza!" *expects audience to laugh* It's funny the first time, but gets old really quickly.

Plus, I liked the 2003 version's characterization of the Shredder much more. but maybe that's just me.

Australia we didn't see it till the early 90's

Ah (not a one word post).

 

[Bladexdsl]

and the arcade games based off them were even better

Didn't they change the name to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" and heavily censor a bunch of the weapons and action in the Australian version? Or it might've been somewhere in Europe, I don't remember where...

 

[DiscostewSM]

So, in actuality, the movie will have mutants in it?

It's a cartoon of course it's gonna have some viewers, but the movies and games over the years haven't been that great...hell the last tmnt game I loved was probably back on the snes...

Good. At least this can be the nails in the coffin to the slowly dying franchise we loved as children.
