Wellllll, This Doesn’t Look Promising
Well I heard that they were making a live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which didn’t sound like the best idea, even if we do look at the old ones through nostalgia tinted glasses.
Surprisingly, I don’t have a problem with Megan Fox as April O’Neil (what, like you need an Oscar winner for that role?), but this picture was too ridiculous not to post. I understand how CGI works, but still, this is why acting is harder than it used to be when you have to keep a straight face opposite something like this.
Who knows, maybe this will be an instant classic against all odds? But more than likely it will just be on Netflix Instant a few months after release with 2.7 star rating.
It’s Thad. How can that not be a good thing?
I don’t understand why people judge movies like this before post-production. Of course it’s going to look ridiculous until effects, lighting, etc are added.
Michael Shannon (‘Zod’ from Man of Steel) said that he looked absolutely hilarious and found it incredibly awkward and weird while acting with his CG suit (said it basically looked like pajamas). He also said he thought there would be no way that it would look cool; but he changed his mind as soon as he saw the finished product.
So, I guess wait for a trailer?:)
me and a couple friends watched the first 2 movies recently. thought i too might have had my “tinted glasses” of nostalgia for these movies. they… arent actually bad at all.
Damn, thought this was dead in the water and they left it. Guess not
Why wont it die? In this scene we have Ralph and April flirting to a nickelback power balled. Really you would think with the comic book movies getting it right with good directors and actors , that they could at lest do the same with turtles.
Oh, you can’t judge the movie based off that. Everyone loved Gollum and that was Andy Serkis scurrying around in a pair of mocap pajamas while trying to sound like he had a hairball in his throat. Not that I expect this movie to be anywhere near as awesome as LOTR, I’m just saying you can’t judge based off this. Frankly, anyone who can act while looking that in the face has some actual acting ability as far as I am concerned.
It’s apparent how bad they want animatronics dead and for that I already think this movie sucks, come on guys, I really don’t know who’s trying to kid themselves otherwise >:/
