Are you talking about The Winter Soldier? O.o

I believe he may actually be talking about the early 90s not even a "B" movie Captain America film.

No, he clearly means the two Captain America movies from the 70's starring Reb Brown.

I assume he couldn't be bashing the Winter Soldier. Otherwise his opinion on this forum would never be trusted again. Indeed, he'd probably have to get a new name, license, and start afresh. Nobody would trust anyone who bashed CA:tWS.

The only problem with TWS is the whole.....nope no problem.

Now Iron Man two.........good but still the weakest. of the stand alone.

I'd put Iron Man 3 as worse than 2, but they're pretty neck and neck. IM3 was just too Disnified for me.

Ehh, to me I count like 2 action scenes in IM2. IM3 had some great ones.

But Iron Man 2 didn't have a ten year old boy who magically saved the day. It won a few bonus points when tony agreed he was blowing the kid off, just like his dad did. *


*i don't condone deadbeat parents, but felt this scene was necessary to stifle the pure Disney that was being shoved down our throats.

Ugh, I'd actually forgotten about that (it got lost somewhere between the butchering of AIM, Extremis and The Mandarin ).

Out of everything MCU (or actually, anything Marvel since 2008, X-men and Spidey included), IM2&3 and arguably Hulk are the only ones I wouldn't happily watch right now... And that's having already watched Avengers, Thor TDW, Cap TWS, GotG and DoFP in the last week. They are certainly anomalies in an otherwise Golden Age of comic films, but easily glossed over in light of everything that has come since.

I've never really understood the whole 'destroying my childhood' thing... If the original is so precious to you, surely you can just go and watch that instead? How does someone making a new version of it have any effect whatsoever on what came before?

Probably because it's not literal, and is intended as a joke.

Honestly not surprised.

Bay needs to make characters like April much much more insignificant in importance and screen time. Its like going to see The Avengers and having to sit through 2 hours of Agent Coulson watching the Avengers kick butt. You go to an Avengers movie to see Hulk smash Captain throw his shield and Loki act like Tom Hiddleston. TMNT is about the Turtles first and foremost.

But I hear Bebop and Rocksteady are in TMNT 2 so I guess we have that going for us.

It's pretty much a financial thing. CGI heavy scenes take a lot of resources, especially when the CGI is of the standard expected in modern blockbusters. Filling a screen with two hours of photo-realistic robots or mutant turtles will massively increase the budget, without increasing the expected audience (people who want to see CGI robots or mutant turtles will likely turn up whether they're on screen for 45 minutes or two hours).

And audience surrogate.

I can't wait to see how people react to a Bay produced Thundercats movie.

All I know is that a whole new generations of boys will find themselves questioning their sexuality when they see megan fox as cheetara

Ok. That looks fun. And Bebop and Rocksteady on the big screen, and they look badass, not just a couple of losers.

Only thing I'm not sure of is the turtles revealing themselves to the public like that.

Are we gonna see Krang?

That was my first thought as well with the wormhole thing.

Also, hyped for Bebop and Rocksteady!

Not sure about the Rhino's face (seriously, I never could remember which one was bebop, and which was rocksteady, lol)

But yeah... this looks even more fun than the first one.

Looks fun. Everything that makes Bayformers wrong makes Bayturtles right. Re-watch the original cartoons and you find the movies are right on.

I hope there is lots of funny villain dialog.

I didn't really like the first, but the elevator scene felt pretty accurate to what they're like really.

While I didn't particularly enjoy Bay's Turtles film, it certainly felt a lot better than the Bayformers.

Agreed. Let's just hope they actually get more screentime than what looks like Bay's latest hi--larious comic relief black guy.

So a Turtles fan I follow (Doug Walker/Nostalgia Critic) said the trailer actually looked much better than the 1st film. He did a review of that and didn't like it at all.

Having only seen the Nostalgia Critics review of the 1st movie, this one looks much better and sillier like the turtles should be.

Never been a turtles fan, just never got into it, but I'm curious how this'll turn out

Somebody get me a damn Heresy picture, STAT!!

The Bay Turtles movie was far from the worst TMNT movie. I know, I have seen them all. I'll watch this one too, just probably not in a theatre.

Off topic a bit, but it made me think..........

I think the nostalgia critic summed it up though, the turtles have pretty much spent most of their existence as a form of merchandising to kids. Everything that's come out has largely been variations on that, with one being no worse than the other. I thought the trailer looked good, in that respect, although there isn't enough bytes on the internet for me to describe what i don't like about it. I liked the original comic. But for what it is, it seems decent.

I think Michael Bay actually did a pretty good job with the Turtles, but that is partly because the Turtles are already more suited for his style of movies.

Did anyone else feel like Leonardo was too minor of a character in the first one? It felt too much about Raphael and April. (Though focusing on April was already explained as a budget issue). Either way, I'll wait for it to show up on Hulu or something, rather than blow money on seeing it in theaters.

Looks fun. Like a TMNT movie should be.
Micheal Bay, you have done good.

The 1990 movie is still my favorite of the bunch.
