I can't wait to go see this tonight. I know everyone has been skeptical cause of Michael Bays involvement but I'm still excited.

I'm skipping it and going to see Guardians of the Galaxy instead.

I thought the movie was so much fun. I know the critics are killing it but the kids and fans of the turtles should love it for the most part. Too many negative people always want something more and more serious. Not every series has to be like the dark Knight trilogy.

This movie was about 4 brothers who will do anything for one another and their friends while having fun doing it.

Fans of the Turtles will like it? I think that's exactly the people who have zero interest in seeing this crap, myself included. I would never pay money to see this.

I saw it last night and absolutely hated it. I grew up during Turtle Mania in the early 90s and while I wasn't excited about Michael Bay producing, I was looking forward to the reboot. I was even willing to give Megan Fox a chance; HUGE mistake on my part. This film wasn't the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we all know and love. I think we have a front runner for Worst Picture at this year's Razzies.

I skeptically saw it the other night. I was not sure I was going to like it because when I think of Ninja Turtles, I think of the 90's cartoon and the movies that came out then. Even the original films, at least to me, came off as a live action cartoon at least when it came to the turtles.

However, I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. I was concerned because I didn't like the look of the new turtles. They looked as if they had taken steroids and were too buff for my liking. But, they grew on me as the film progressed and I thought Megan Fox did a good job. However, I think I enjoyed the flop computer animated Ninja Turtles movie that came out a few years ago better.

I went with some pals of mine to see this over the weekend since I was a big fan of the original cartoon and had seen all of the original live-action movies. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The first half kind of dragged on because when you've got someone like Megan Fox, who brings almost no personality to every role she plays, as the lead human character then it doesn't work. During this portion of the movie, it was more 'April O'Neil and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' The four guys voicing the turtles were actually very good, especially the one playing Michelangelo, and Will Arnett is very funny as the cameraman Vernon Fenwick. He's always been a great comedian. Something that did not work was that Eric Sacks, played by William Fichtner, had his past explained and the Shredder and Japanese girl Karai did not.

I liked it and I also grew up during the turtle craze in the 90s, but when I was a kid I was obsessed with that Coming Out of Their Shells live tour that played at Radio City Music Hall so I'm probably not considered a turtles purist. I did miss Sherie Rene Scott's April though. And the songs.
That's right! Underscore mother-fu@#ers!

I went back to see this yesterday. It's still not an awful picture, but it was much more noisy than the first time I saw it. It was also kind of unnecessary to have April O'Neil to take a photo of the turtles while they were all escaping from the foot clan and have Vernon stare at her buttocks.
