From TMP:
Michael Bay's comments about the new origins of the Ninja Turtles (or what's now being called Turtlegate) hasn't sat well with fans; myself included. Through a few of my rantings on the site, I've made it known how I feel about fanboys hating things simply for the fact that it's something different. So rather than just bitch about something on the Internet like a lot people do, I'm going to actually justify my reactions and negative feelings. One thing needs to be made clear, I'm not hating on the new film. I haven't seen it, so there's no telling how good or bad it might be. Instead, I'm expressing my dislike for this new idea that the new film is taking. It just doesn't work for the Ninja Turtles.
When a messiah is needed, does it matter how a planet gets one? That's what we'll discuss in our Dune Part Two Review!
On the big screen, numerous Dark Knights flaunted their abs and flexed their muscles for the audience; however, Christian Bale's Batman physique remains the greatest.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is the latest of the rebooted Planet of the Apes series and is a solid movie despite not being on par with the previous movies.
Is it really such an important distinction - wether their aliens or not? And if we are being completely honest here, the original cartoon was a huge departure from the original comic book, which from what I'm told is a lot more mature. I don't know, maybe I'm just jaded. I don't think I'd be interested in watching this movie no matter who made it. I went back and revisited the older films and it's true what they say, you can't take it with you.
it's a pretty bit deviation from the established origin.
though it depends.
if they're still brought up by splinter and they keep the martial arts theme it could work.
whether they're born the way they are or some radioactive goo turns them that way is a relatively minor detal compared with the meat of the story, which is being found by splinter and trained in the martial arts, and splinter's connection to shredder and the foot clan.
but still, it feels like a step too far.
what was micheal bay thinking? this alterations are not acceptable.
Hopefully things will all shake out and we'll get a good movie. At the very least Bay isn't the director and doesn't have total control of the project.
Wonders if this would be a big deal if Bay didn't have anything to do with it
