Jeremy and I give our thoughts on on the follow up to that movie that barely starred the turtles. This one might fare a bit better but still has a lot of issues. phelous.com / phelous
Yeah. Nothing will ever be worse than Next Mutation, even if I still kind of love the PR crossover. Venus De Milo was a terrible idea, but I would kind of like to see her re-attempted by Nickelodeon or someone. With competent writing she could be great as a guest character.
awe i like stephen amell as green arrow id like him to be green arrow in the dc movies thats a shame i was looking forward to seeing stephen amell as casey johnes
the first live action movie though the 1990 one isnt really that much better though the turtles had no personality in that one they were all the same character i love all the series though loved the original animated series the 2003 animated series and the current TMNT 3D animated series
@Phelan Porteous The way to describe this film is if cross the original 80s cartoon and The Secret of The Ooze. Toned down, no deaths, cartoonish and full of jokes for the kids. Look while it's not good, I'll give them credit for being faithful to the cartoon. Like at least they got Bebop and Rocksteady right, they're just bumbling henchmen. Krang does look like what he is in the original cartoon, and the turtle van is there… for just the beginning. But the problem is it's an exposition heavy, the only time there's action is at the beginning, the river chase and the final battle with Krang. Not to mention it's so cartoony to the point where a plane's cockpit it open and the pilots fall out and they have parachutes. Krang's overall entry is the film is random, he shows up in the beginning and then comes back in the last act. Stephen Amell performance is just too excitable by bad directing he's given. Megan Fox (nothing against her, I mean ever) sleepwalking through this and Laura Linney is pointless. Tyler Perry is actually having fun playing Baxter Stockman and the actors for Bebop and Rocksteady actually were alright. Shredder however I'm mixed about but then again, not every episode of the original cartoon had Shredder as the main villain. Not to mention I don't know why Will Arnett is brought back in this. But listen, if you let Michael Bay "ruin" your childhood, you never had a childhood worth holding onto. Stop playing the victim card whenever Michael Bay or other filmmakers does something with the 80s. *mic drop* The only recommendation of the film is a rental: 6.2/10.

*Jack Gattanella: It also got a D and some shit from Chris Stuckmann. Even Jeremy Jahns, who liked the movie, didn't give it a "buy it on bluray" let alone "awesometecular". It seems that people who were fans of the 80s cartoon like it more than those who just watched it, and all revieweres more or less admit, that this movie is loaded with fan-service for the old fans. Which is why I trust those reviewers who are not gigantic TMNT fans, since they won't fall for the fan-service that easily.
+bigevilworldwide1 Let's make a $150 million+ movie that can only be really appreciated by people who watched a kid's show in the '80s and shouldn't be watched by anyone else... Seems like a sound business strategy. I'm sure Paramount's intent with this film was to wholly exclude people who haven't watched every single piece of Turtles-related media ever. Plus, it seems like Allison is pretty big into the old show, and if anything she was MORE vitriolic toward the movie.
I just saw it. I'll say that I really like the way these movies depict the turtles both visually and as brothers, which makes it even more disappointing how literally everything else about the movies is either unnecessarily bland (as was most of the first one) or disastrously stupid (as was most of this one). If you took out nearly every scene without the turtles (or that included the turtles in delivering horrible exposition), this would be a fun movie, but the plot and means of exposition are so fucking awful it's almost impressive; at times this felt like a movie written for preschoolers but with swears. If they could just insert these turtles into a movie that made a lick of sense and didn't feel like it was calling you an ugly poop-assed idiot to your face every five minutes, they'd easily have the best one in the entire franchise, but they're miles away from that.
I'm really glad I'm not the only person who didn't completely hate this movie. It was fun. not a masterpiece, but it felt like an episode of 80s tmnt. beebop and rocksteady were great. my biggest problem was clunky exposition. But the animated show had that and everyone gives it a pass.
Agreed. I just bought the first 3 seasons on DVD. The movie definitely shows how silly things can get. To me they did get Beebop and Rocksteady right. Krang sorta felt like the 87 one too. I just had fun with it and tried not to take it too seriously because if I did, I'd probably be disappointed. We are after all at the mercy of these Hollywood writers and M Bay. Unless someone comes along and does it better we are stuck with what we get. Would be nice to try to do it differently if one could do. 😆
I'm kinda let down after the buildup of Allison & Brad's review! Given how much they hated it and how certain Allison was that you'd really hate it, I was surprised with your mixed review.
Yea... this movie CAN'T be the worst of this year. Ever Since I was born i was Dope Ever since I was born I was Dope Ever Since I Was Born I Was Dope. Every time.
Hmmm....i still am hopeful for it being enjoyable for me. Should I at least give it a shot if it's better than the last one? I'd wait till it came out on the internet first.
Holy shit, Phelan . . . you've lost some major weight. Much admiration, since I need to do the same. Still, definitely a different fellow from your CA days.
Tbh i rather sit through these ninja turtle films then watch Transformers by Michael Bay. The first one was admittedly the only good one of the series. Then it went all repeat from then on. Yeah new robots in the films and its explained how more showed up and all that but 4 was really confusing and man i walked out of there. good thing i only paid 1 dollar to see tht movie (dollar theater around where i used to live). But yeah I'd much rather watch these then those movies. They get the personalities good, and the choices for the turtles are good ones, and the fact that they're doing new stuff with them is intriguing lets just hope we don't go back in time again good god that one sucked
Whoa! What kind of a diet does Allison have you on? Looking good. Anyway, Casey's character kinda pissed me off. He hardly wears the mask and there was no goongala. F minus minus.
Haha I like that Allison must have done it but thanks. Yeah, this really is the weakest version of Casey. I'd even take the 87 "LAWBREAKER" Casey over this and he barely did anything.
Phelous, would you have preferred more Madea or less than what we got in this turtles movie? If more, than I rest my case. The movie should've just been called. Madea saves a shitty tmnt michael Bay sequel. ugh, 😝
The first Krang scene was like... you ever do all the work for a group project, have to catch the other person up on all the stuff you did, and then explain the ONE thing they have to do?
Hey phelous if u were to choose right now what u think is better the tmnt movie or the ghost busters movie which of the two would u actually review to tear apart?
Well if you would like to educate yourself on what TMNT truly was...here's where the 'dumbest backstory' came from.. way back in the original comics. turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Nobody
Haha I just watched Midnight Screenings and both Brad and Allison were actually expecting Phelous to go on a violent rampage over this movie in his review!
Do you know who would have made a better April? Scarlett Johansson still playing her Black Widow character. Just in a banana yellow jumpsuit instead of her black one. Would have fit seamlessly into this movie and in a good way. If you're going to do superhero action schlock, at least do it right, Bay.
+The original MRjguill Well, what can I say? The Dominion has eyes in every part of the Alpha Quadrant. We also enjoy all things 80s pop culture. Bet you didn't know that.
Christie Greenwood No I didn't lol. So you must know Weyoun 5. He was my favorite Weyoun. 😔 The 80s also had the best music. Talking Heads. That's all I have to say 😏
The interesting thing about Krang's voice by Brad Garret is that he has Pat Fraley's "blessing" with it. They're good friends apparently, and in a letter to someone on the Technodrome forums, he said that he was excited about the casting. If anything, Krang sounds like a non-Scottish Bill Nighy with a stuffy nose, but for how *huge* he was, it worked.
StaticOrgy Phelous is no longer part of Channel Awesome. When he was a part of them he did horror reviews, but when he left he felt that he no longer needed to review those films and chose to review other things, like those animated knock off movies
Perhaps Shredder and Krang should have been allies before they meet. As in, Krang contacts Shredder via telecommunication, and Shredder's goal in the first half of the film would be to open a portal to get Krang into Earth.
Why do I keep missing the release of movies like TMNT 2, Through the Looking Glass, and the Angry Birds movie?! Oh right, because nobody wanted any of those movies to exist....
Whoopi Goldberg basically looked like a Ninja Turtle in the first movie. Tyler Perry was great in Gone Girl. Krang was pretty awesome despite having limited screen time. Shredder doesn't look like Megatron which is a good thing.
I felt the biggest problem was they had funny krang from the 87 show but only boring shredder from the prequel - so they couldn't build the awesome chemistry the old villains had. I think it might had been better if they just would have left shredder out completly, because all the scenes with old saki - you could easily replace him with krang and let him order around Baxter.
Megan Fox really is Wooden Plank Lady. That is NOT April. Seriously, she is an animated piece of plastic and not an actor. I'm sure she's a great person, but FFS, she is soooo bad at her job. Can't she go take up space in a fandom I don't love? Well, I love the 80s cartoon, not this crap.
"And when he goes rogue, he roughs up...people's glasses!" "In the original he's beating the s*it out of bad guys! But here he's throwing CDs! CDs NUTS!" "But that was a Vanilla ICE CD that he threw, so that's a reference! That's a point!" Given the first one decided April created the Turtles, why didn't they change it here so that VERNON is Casey Jones, having created it as a persona for himself so he could be part of the team?! Seriously--he SEEMED like the kind of guy who liked watching hockey and wrestling but he isn't good at either so he just makes up this scraggly vigilante and names it after a goalie who wore the mask and a wrestler famous for his long hair! Then the movie opens with the Turtles going after some bad guys and here comes who we think is Casey only for it to be Vernon screwing up at just the wrong moment so Raph and Leo have to come to his rescue and mock him!! They could be training him in the sewers and he complains about getting hurt, always wanting time outs to recover, but if they'd given Will Arnett the CHANCE he could've been just as good as Elias Koteas!
Nope, they aren't in the least. Fans don't go back to the 80's show well all the damn time. You can do a drinking game on how many times they mention that show like it's the only part of it ever.
I haven't seen this movie yet but I had a feeling it would be more or less disappointing from the trailer : / Have you seen the 2003 animated series Pheleous? I would love to see someone's review on it, I've always thought it was a weirdly solid show for something that aired on Kids WB for years. It's what got me into the most recent turtles comics (which are also wonderful).
I just can't get over how bulky and weird the turtles look. They're so big?? They don't look like they could actually do any stealth or really athletic thing???
It seems like they totally wasted their shot at launching a Mutanimals spinoff. It could have been like Ray Fillet coming back in time to ominously warn them about stuff...in a dream.
From the preview, I got the impression this one would be better. What really tipped me off was that there was only one shot of Megan Fox. Why does she keep getting work in big budget films?
The original MRjguill I don't remember exactly who you mean, but I agree regardless, since Megan Fox could've been replaced by pretty much anyone. Calling what she does in this movie "acting" seems like a degradation of the concept.
I'm reminded of Phelous' rant about Jen from MK Conquest lol. Guess that pretty much sums up Megan Fox's acting lol. And btw the actress I'm referring to is Jaime Pressley.
Funny how Brad pretty much was way more accurate in your response then Alison. Which is nice because while I'm sure this movie fucking blows....a simple "Rah rah hate everything" gets kind of boring. Your mediocre pro and con list- very much enjoyed
And you want to hear something ironic? Some reviewers like IGN actually said that a lack of Megan Fox apparently was a bad thing. ... Look it up. Apparently, that was a negative on IGN. Mind you there are several plots in the film, but for there to be a less Fox than what we normally have to put up with being a bad thing makes me feel as though the wrong message could be sent.
I love how in stupid movies no one just goes to Walgreen's to get a $12 burner phone. They have to go to some shady dude despite prepaid phones being sold on every street corner.
Gonna see this based on black nerds review. Normally I like your stuff but at this point it seems like no matter what Bay does you and others are always gonna find something to whine about.
Interesting... I think I've watched like 80% of your videos, and I never saw you as skinny as in this video. You look way better nowadays, with a little more meat on your bones, ACTUALLY, haha...
i knew phelan would feel this way. allison and brad really overreacted. it was quite obnoxious. they definitely arent actual turtles fans. UNSUBSCRIBED!
Cinema Snob said I should see Phelan's reaction :P
Haha I might not have been as angry as he hoped. Still had a shit ton of complaints though. ;)
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous I don't know why people humor Michael Bay
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous He more so was look forward to you being neutral towards it.
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous Yeah... He said he'd be suprised if you were just alright XD. They're the only reviewers I've seen that hated it.
TheGotenza
I'm with them Lol
Fucking Brad brought me here.
Yeah. Nothing will ever be worse than Next Mutation, even if I still kind of love the PR crossover.
Venus De Milo was a terrible idea, but I would kind of like to see her re-attempted by Nickelodeon or someone. With competent writing she could be great as a guest character.
They made the Next Mutation Turtles less obnoxious in the PR crossover so yeah that's the best thing they were in which was pretty sad for that show.
awe i like stephen amell as green arrow id like him to be green arrow in the dc movies thats a shame i was looking forward to seeing stephen amell as casey johnes
the first live action movie though the 1990 one isnt really that much better though the turtles had no personality in that one they were all the same character i love all the series though loved the original animated series the 2003 animated series and the current TMNT 3D animated series
TURTLES FIGHT WITH HONOUR
@Phelan Porteous The way to describe this film is if cross the original 80s cartoon and The Secret of The Ooze. Toned down, no deaths, cartoonish and full of jokes for the kids.
Look while it's not good, I'll give them credit for being faithful to the cartoon. Like at least they got Bebop and Rocksteady right, they're just bumbling henchmen. Krang does look like what he is in the original cartoon, and the turtle van is there… for just the beginning.

More positive reaction than I expected. Allison and Brad were soooo pissed lol
It seems to be getting mostly... good reactions from what I've seen. But I trust Brad Jones so fuck no Im not seeing it.

It's a shame they didn't advertise it as "a stupid film if you haven't seen the 80's cartoon".

No,it's Venus
Its Zack. 🤨
why are you guys arguing?
👀 forgot I commented.
It’s so funny hearing them talking about a sequel.
Sounds like the science in this movie isn't just good, it's Dinosaur Adventure good!
What the hell!?!
+silentecho92able MY GOD!!!
I wonder how hard Brad and Allison cracked up when Phelous said this was better than the first one.
I just saw it. I'll say that I really like the way these movies depict the turtles both visually and as brothers, which makes it even more disappointing how literally everything else about the movies is either unnecessarily bland (as was most of the first one) or disastrously stupid (as was most of this one).

Came here right after watching Brad and Allison's :)
Me too :) watching back n forth.
Beebop and Rocksteady channeled their spirit animals
I'm really glad I'm not the only person who didn't completely hate this movie. It was fun. not a masterpiece, but it felt like an episode of 80s tmnt. beebop and rocksteady were great. my biggest problem was clunky exposition. But the animated show had that and everyone gives it a pass.

Too bad it was Sunday! That highway would have been full of witnesses tomorrow!
Dude. Where did you get that giant Krang? X_X That is so awesome!
*NEVER* betray the tech guy.
He knows too much...
Jeremy looks like Linksano in the thumb.
Passable...
Wait is the arrow in this movie?🤔
Maybe have seen this after the first movie review in 2016 (?)
but baxter stockman and bebop and rocksteady and krang are in it.
In Kung Lao Conquest voice, "Damn it Rayden, that doesn't make it right."
believe it or not s tetris movie is being produced
Yeah, that's partly why I was joking about that, also they just looked like tetris pieces.
***Spoiler comment*** I did love how Stockman and Shredder had basically the same ending
Haha both bullied and betrayed by their superior.
I'm kinda let down after the buildup of Allison & Brad's review! Given how much they hated it and how certain Allison was that you'd really hate it, I was surprised with your mixed review.
Yea... this movie CAN'T be the worst of this year.

I'm so fucking sick of that trailer, goddamn!
+Bear Van Helsing At least the ads for Neighbors 2 stopped.
It is interesting to watch this review and compare it to the review by that Brad Jones and Lupa did
Phelan Porteous what other cartoons and anime did you grow up with. Also did you grow up with Garfield and do you have a sweet tooth.
Hmmm....i still am hopeful for it being enjoyable for me. Should I at least give it a shot if it's better than the last one? I'd wait till it came out on the internet first.
It's brainless shit so if you want an actually good story no. Anything enjoyable is completely brainless.
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous dammit. Welp, back to binge the old movies! *goes into tv cave with pizza*
Don't you know that calling movies brainless or stupid is sexist now??
@@retrospectre2658 no it's not
Holy shit, Phelan . . . you've lost some major weight. Much admiration, since I need to do the same. Still, definitely a different fellow from your CA days.
Tbh i rather sit through these ninja turtle films then watch Transformers by Michael Bay. The first one was admittedly the only good one of the series. Then it went all repeat from then on. Yeah new robots in the films and its explained how more showed up and all that but 4 was really confusing and man i walked out of there. good thing i only paid 1 dollar to see tht movie (dollar theater around where i used to live).

They get the personalities good, and the choices for the turtles are good ones, and the fact that they're doing new stuff with them is intriguing lets just hope we don't go back in time again good god that one sucked
The 4th one had the autobots being murdeous racists to humans. Fuck that.
It's so bad, I misspelled murderous.
I appreciate your concerns and respect your opinion but this one was just as good as secret of the ooze
Agreed
Frank Dailey dude on rt it has an higher rating its 37!!! you know what that means?!
absolutely noting because RT is never right about anything,
Dan Smith were just Sayin gawsh
or the Secret of the Splooge.
"Casey is basically the jokey version of Arrow" .....so the ACTUAL Green Arrow? Lol
***** I can see that lol
+1Dudelove That's what he/she said (Bralison).
Actually, the actors for the turtles signed on for a total of 3 movies.
huh, at least we'll have jackass Leonardo
Actually, Pete Ploszek did the voice acting for Leonardo in the second. Johnny Knoxville apparently did not return.
Whoa! What kind of a diet does Allison have you on? Looking good. Anyway, Casey's character kinda pissed me off. He hardly wears the mask and there was no goongala. F minus minus.
Haha I like that Allison must have done it but thanks.
Yeah, this really is the weakest version of Casey. I'd even take the 87 "LAWBREAKER" Casey over this and he barely did anything.
Stephen Amell is not a great actor. He sucks as Arrow and he sucks in this :/
The weakest Casey? As opposed '12 Casey who's always useless and gets happy when his own family is killed because "he can explore outer space now!"
+Chris Cecena (CallMeCmoney) Worst than coming out of our shells Casey,my dudes and dudettes?
+The Dude and arm pit hair.
Phelous, would you have preferred more Madea or less than what we got in this turtles movie? If more, than I rest my case. The movie should've just been called. Madea saves a shitty tmnt michael Bay sequel. ugh, 😝
The first Krang scene was like... you ever do all the work for a group project, have to catch the other person up on all the stuff you did, and then explain the ONE thing they have to do?
Hey Phelous, looking good. You loose weight?
I absolutely LOVED Bebop and Rocksteady. Definite high point of the movie for me.
Yes. They were great. They had great chemistry even they had a few bad moments.
+Tyler Hale they even had a weird penis joke.... It was still pretty funny though.
I can imagine phelan's face change when he found out Casey backstory 😌😐☹
Lol Brad was right
Hey phelous if u were to choose right now what u think is better the tmnt movie or the ghost busters movie which of the two would u actually review to tear apart?
Okay I guess? I guess Phelous, Snob and Lupa know each other terribly.
Would you say...
"Passable. Two out of five stars."
...?
do you think these incarnations will crossover with the current show
I'd rather not.
+Phelan Porteous
Imagine Seth Green's turtle arguing with his cinematic counterpart mirror universe or what
Well if you would like to educate yourself on what TMNT truly was...here's where the 'dumbest backstory' came from.. way back in the original comics. turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Nobody
Haha I just watched Midnight Screenings and both Brad and Allison were actually expecting Phelous to go on a violent rampage over this movie in his review!
What did you think about the idw tmnt game Phelous?
Haven't got to check it out yet.
Do you know who would have made a better April? Scarlett Johansson still playing her Black Widow character. Just in a banana yellow jumpsuit instead of her black one. Would have fit seamlessly into this movie and in a good way. If you're going to do superhero action schlock, at least do it right, Bay.
'On the oat side!'
Had a Mortal Komedy flashback there
'oat world!'
I loved his reviews on that. Damn it Phelous, do another whacky review on another silly 90s video game show. 😆
I liked Krang. The 80s voice or Gilbert Gotfried, who voices Krang in the recent series would not work in this movie.
"Saki, you foooool...don't waste time!" I'll take classic 87 Krang over any other one thank you.
Me, too! Everything in the 80s cartoon was automatically more awesome.
Christie Greenwood You're everywhere my dear 😋 Yes, I grew up in the 80s. Alot of cartoons were much better than the stuff we have today.
+The original MRjguill Well, what can I say? The Dominion has eyes in every part of the Alpha Quadrant. We also enjoy all things 80s pop culture. Bet you didn't know that.
Christie Greenwood No I didn't lol. So you must know Weyoun 5. He was my favorite Weyoun. 😔 The 80s also had the best music. Talking Heads. That's all I have to say 😏
how often do you have to water that couch?
The interesting thing about Krang's voice by Brad Garret is that he has Pat Fraley's "blessing" with it. They're good friends apparently, and in a letter to someone on the Technodrome forums, he said that he was excited about the casting.
If anything, Krang sounds like a non-Scottish Bill Nighy with a stuffy nose, but for how *huge* he was, it worked.
I'm digging the hell out of Jeremy's glasses.
is the ninja rap is in this movie?
Not really, they just have a verse of it in the ending song.
Ice ice baby was on the jukebox in the bar.
i liked it i saw it opening night when i saw krang i was happy
Phelous! Would you consider making a review about anti-christ (2009)?
i would LOVE watch you trash it (it`s my favorite movie of all times).
He doesn't review horror films anymore
999haunted really? wow, why? he is so good at it!
StaticOrgy Phelous is no longer part of Channel Awesome. When he was a part of them he did horror reviews, but when he left he felt that he no longer needed to review those films and chose to review other things, like those animated knock off movies
+999haunted one day later, he reviews a horror movie
***** yeah! xD
Perhaps Shredder and Krang should have been allies before they meet. As in, Krang contacts Shredder via telecommunication, and Shredder's goal in the first half of the film would be to open a portal to get Krang into Earth.
Why do I keep missing the release of movies like TMNT 2, Through the Looking Glass, and the Angry Birds movie?!
Oh right, because nobody wanted any of those movies to exist....
Whoopi Goldberg basically looked like a Ninja Turtle in the first movie. Tyler Perry was great in Gone Girl. Krang was pretty awesome despite having limited screen time. Shredder doesn't look like Megatron which is a good thing.
something about that stoned-looking Phelous in the thumbnail is givin me the sp00ks...
wait is there a time when Phelous doesn't look stoned?
I felt the biggest problem was they had funny krang from the 87 show but only boring shredder from the prequel - so they couldn't build the awesome chemistry the old villains had. I think it might had been better if they just would have left shredder out completly, because all the scenes with old saki - you could easily replace him with krang and let him order around Baxter.
"Look I see their parachutes" "They're ok""
8:40 That moment when Phelan hasn't seen "Gone Girl".
Megan Fox really is Wooden Plank Lady. That is NOT April. Seriously, she is an animated piece of plastic and not an actor. I'm sure she's a great person, but FFS, she is soooo bad at her job. Can't she go take up space in a fandom I don't love? Well, I love the 80s cartoon, not this crap.
megan fox is just a sex symble and that dose not work with april and is this a family friendly movie or wut?
Master Spinchter is a Furry.............ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I wonder who downvoted this and why.
"And when he goes rogue, he roughs up...people's glasses!"
"In the original he's beating the s*it out of bad guys! But here he's throwing CDs! CDs NUTS!"
"But that was a Vanilla ICE CD that he threw, so that's a reference! That's a point!"
Given the first one decided April created the Turtles, why didn't they change it here so that VERNON is Casey Jones, having created it as a persona for himself so he could be part of the team?! Seriously--he SEEMED like the kind of guy who liked watching hockey and wrestling but he isn't good at either so he just makes up this scraggly vigilante and names it after a goalie who wore the mask and a wrestler famous for his long hair! Then the movie opens with the Turtles going after some bad guys and here comes who we think is Casey only for it to be Vernon screwing up at just the wrong moment so Raph and Leo have to come to his rescue and mock him!! They could be training him in the sewers and he complains about getting hurt, always wanting time outs to recover, but if they'd given Will Arnett the CHANCE he could've been just as good as Elias Koteas!
These guys are Turtles fans? I never would have guessed.
Nope, they aren't in the least. Fans don't go back to the 80's show well all the damn time. You can do a drinking game on how many times they mention that show like it's the only part of it ever.
love tmnt
i just wished krang was shown more
This movie has more Dutch angles than Battlefield Earth
Way better then the first one great review
I haven't seen this movie yet but I had a feeling it would be more or less disappointing from the trailer : / Have you seen the 2003 animated series Pheleous? I would love to see someone's review on it, I've always thought it was a weirdly solid show for something that aired on Kids WB for years. It's what got me into the most recent turtles comics (which are also wonderful).
I just can't get over how bulky and weird the turtles look. They're so big?? They don't look like they could actually do any stealth or really athletic thing???
I always want to call this movie "Coming out of the Shadows" because of "Coming Out of our Shells"
its been 2 years already, you should do a phelous and the movies review for teenage mutant ninja turtles 2014 movie! lol
That is currently on my Patreon actually, heh.
Phelan Porteous
cool! hope its the next review to be released! hellraiser hellword review was hilarious by the way!
It seems like they totally wasted their shot at launching a Mutanimals spinoff. It could have been like Ray Fillet coming back in time to ominously warn them about stuff...in a dream.
Phelous starts to look more and more like Tobuscus.
ELI ROTH!!!!
Was he in this?
gantzisballs The guy on the left played Eli Roth in Phelous' reviews
Oooooo FACED !!!!!
Damn you Bay!!!
phelan where did you get that bigass kraang toy? it's sweet!
A mask company does it. You can find it on eBay
From the preview, I got the impression this one would be better. What really tipped me off was that there was only one shot of Megan Fox.
Why does she keep getting work in big budget films?
With nice tits, ass, hot face and a vagina....anything is possible 😊
The original MRjguill
Maybe she should be a porn star then. Also I don't find her particularly attractive - she's very fake-looking.
The original MRjguill
I don't remember exactly who you mean, but I agree regardless, since Megan Fox could've been replaced by pretty much anyone. Calling what she does in this movie "acting" seems like a degradation of the concept.
I'm reminded of Phelous' rant about Jen from MK Conquest lol. Guess that pretty much sums up Megan Fox's acting lol. And btw the actress I'm referring to is Jaime Pressley.
Funny how Brad pretty much was way more accurate in your response then Alison.
Which is nice because while I'm sure this movie fucking blows....a simple "Rah rah hate everything" gets kind of boring. Your mediocre pro and con list- very much enjoyed
I'm early, let me state a very repetitive joke to try and get likes
.
even though it won't work
April O'Neill has a developed personality.
If you mean in other Turtles media other than THIS sure.
Phelan Porteous wow... well it worked on some level
So... Tmnt Out of the Shadows is a prequel to the Tetris trilogy... That is actually a thing.
And you want to hear something ironic? Some reviewers like IGN actually said that a lack of Megan Fox apparently was a bad thing.
...
Look it up. Apparently, that was a negative on IGN. Mind you there are several plots in the film, but for there to be a less Fox than what we normally have to put up with being a bad thing makes me feel as though the wrong message could be sent.
Yeah, less black hole of enjoyment what a negative...
Why? We're they expecting her to quote Macbeth?
"0 / 10, I didn't get a boner."
I love how in stupid movies no one just goes to Walgreen's to get a $12 burner phone. They have to go to some shady dude despite prepaid phones being sold on every street corner.
I take it you haven't seen Brad and Allison's review cuz they absolutely hated this movie with a passion.
you guys are way too lenient lol
Meh, I personally loved it. I even wrote a review of it: fav.me/dagwz3f
haha was wondering how long it would take you to rant on this
Gonna see this based on black nerds review. Normally I like your stuff but at this point it seems like no matter what Bay does you and others are always gonna find something to whine about.
If I comment here, will you respond?
and if a tree falls...does it make a sound???
Another great video, Phelan.
I knew this movie would suck!
Why do you never reply to me?
Review all bootlegs Ashens did.
please shut up. no one cares what you comment. so leave already
Interesting... I think I've watched like 80% of your videos, and I never saw you as skinny as in this video. You look way better nowadays, with a little more meat on your bones, ACTUALLY, haha...
i knew phelan would feel this way. allison and brad really overreacted. it was quite obnoxious. they definitely arent actual turtles fans.
UNSUBSCRIBED!
edgy
HES STRANGE BUT CHAOS
