Reviews of the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie
In lieu of going to see the Michael Bay produced TMNT movie myself, I have opted to watch reviews of it. Below are the embeds of the three I watched from Matt, Pat, Woolie, and Liam of Super Best Friends Play, James Rolfe and Mike Matei of Cinemassacre, and Doug Walker of That Guy With the Glasses. (If Noah Antwiler of The Spoony Experiment does a review/vlog of it at some point later on, I'll edit this and include that one as well.)
The embeds are in both the order I watched them and, coincidentally, the order of most hate to least hate, as well as most spoilery to least spoilery (though they all contain spoilers). The Best Friends get way more into the nitty gritty (and somewhat nitpicky), whereas Doug takes more of an overview approach (and goes off on an interesting rant against Michael Bay and about film-making in general), with James and Mike somewhere in between. The consensus seems to be that it's a pretty bad movie, as expected, but not as bad as Turtles 3. (Is it weird that I just did a kind of mini-review of reviews of movies? >_>)
As for me... I'll probably see it eventually, after it comes out on DVD or whatever, but I'm not going to be watching this thing in the theaters. I don't know... I might go see it in theaters if some of my family members want to go at some point. I'm undecided, at this point, but I'm leaning toward not.

(EDIT) Since the above video has been switched to private, for some reason, here is the link to the same video on the actual Cinemassacre site. Leaving the embed here, though, just in case it ever gets set back to viewable again, and if it does, just disregard this edit, I guess. (/EDIT)
