How did your quote on my post get a tribute to espy?True, but neither does a high rating. lol
We can keep going back and fourth on this issue, but in the end, we both just cancel each other out.
Actually, most of his movies have bombed ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_bay#Criticism), and he's now on this endless quest to reboot and remake every classic he can get his hands on from New Line Cinema and just ruin them completely. (Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, TMNT, etc etc etc) I will admit, I enjoyed one or two of movies (The Rock, & Bad Boys), but it stops there. I don't mind explosions, I'm a old school Arnie and Stallone fan after all, but the movie has to at LEAST entertain me. A movie with a stupid story and endless explosions is not entertaining, and that's why his movies bomb, time and time again. In fact, I'm shocked each and every time someone hires him. It seems like after bombing 5-6 movies, he'll FINALLY do mildly good on one, and then he'll get picked up by someone. lol
As for the Turtles, well, you can count me in with the rest. lol
I don't know about all this "People don't want to enjoy anything anymore" stuff, but people are very protective of the things that they love. A lot of us TMNT fans are protective of the franchise, because it was a big part of our childhood. I think most everyone can relate to that in relation to anything.
I'll say this much, I knew the movie was going to be garbage, at least in my eyes, the second they announced it. It didn't even have to be done by Michael Bay, cause I knew they were just going to re-tell the same story, and again use CGI. The same thing happened with the last one that got made, and who the heck even remember that one?
Here's my reasons why I didn't like the new one:
- First off, we don't want endless CGI nonsense. The fans want the live action, puppeteer goodness. I mean, the turtles THIS time around look TERRIBLE!!!! The look of the turtles are EXACTLY in line with what Michael Bay wanted to do, which is say they were Aliens.
- Secondly, the stuff they did to "The Shredder", from changing his name, to the look, to basically making him like "The Silver Samurai" from "The Wolverine"....it was all just terrible. You know what made "The Shredder" so awesome in the original? They kept him simple, quiet, and realistically intimidating. They also stuck to his story, instead of making things up all over the place.
I'll give it this much, the humor was there in bunches, and that was nice, but they just need to leave that franchise alone.
Sincerely,
- A die hard TMNT fan with TMNT tattoos.
They did give 2 thumbs up to Beavis and Butt-Head do America though.
I agree 100% with you on that last thing.
Except it wouldn't have been better. It would have just left us wondering and debating what the licensing holdup is.
---------------They were vague and just said summer. Summer still has a few weeks left, so it's no big deal yet.
They probably only announced that there will be a kickstarter to stop all the requests for Addams Family.
Maybe they are trying to line up a cool stretch goal or making some videos for the kickstarter launch. Let's not be so pessimistic and quick to panic.

Exactly... they'll say something like "we have no news at the moment... when we know you'll know" as usual...
And if that happens... wich one will you play with first... TAF or kate upton???...and Kate Upton is going to show up at my front door, naked, telling me she's there for an oral exam.
