I've not insulted anyone once, I've insulted the movie, I'll insult Michael Bay's production company and I'll insult Paramount... I have yet to insult anyone who liked the film, I've even said I CAN SEE WHERE THOSE PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM... stop being so sensitive when people present to you an opinion that doesn't match your own.

Anyways,... and I'm not trying to convince anyone (I'm really just trying to educate, because if this keeps up, movie companies will continue to cut corners - and this is an artform I hold very dear and care about, I need good movies not rubbish made by ego-ridden production companies) ... Its just, fact wise, the movie is bad. You clearly aren't as educated as I am when it comes to film/cinema (this is not an insult... its the equivilent of a science major telling me I don't understand chemistry the same way he does, which would be true, he's studied it, I have not... Ive studied film, you have not, this is obvious because anyone who has, would see why ninja turtles 2014 is what you DONT want to do with a movie -- its a cookie cutter formula of a script, that's only redeeming qualities are the turtles mannerisms and a few flashy fight scenes -- this however does not constitute a good film... look back at the HUGE errors - the storyline is contrived -- the whole thing was mutagen heals, yet Splinter (who has the same ooze in his blood) couldn't heal? But later they give him mutagen (which, where did they even get it from, Shredder had the "last of the ooze" on him when he fell at the end) - not to mention, that scene where they're falling, it was only in there to create a sense of emotional worry for the characters -- but the whole time, RAPH had his eyes open, how was he unable to see where they were falling and when they'd actually hit the ground -- its a forced moment of emotion and comedy -- the characters make choices that don't fit who they've been established as... the movie is very weak; its moment after moment of forced endeavours to make the audience feel something, meanwhile none of it feels/is natural... the movie doesn't follow an organic growth, its like a song preformed by musicians vs a song created by computer - its just not at all any good, its an exciting series of events jammed into a movie that cares little for any consequence or character growth. I mean, there is NO character growth in this film, the turtles dont learn any lesson... because there is never that chance for us to see their shortcomings... its mediocre and doesn't even hold up to the previous films (even the 3rd had more plot. development and character to it)... My end point, this movie is the equal to Dragon Ball Evolution (an awful adaptation)... its like all the Transformer movies (aside from the first) where its just gimmicks they know work on a vast majority... you want to enjoy it, fine, go ahead, but you should not hold it in high reverance as being a great TMNT flick... that's a very dissilusioned way of thinking. Its a mediocre TMNT film. The animated film released prior to this one had more heart and content to it. This is a mediocre film with a big budget... Can you please quit being arrogant,ShellBrain.
