Is there an excitement for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot at all?
I feel none whatsoever. I expect the movie to bomb in a major way.
I know it has the Michael Bay/Transformers boost. But I'm not moved by Will Arnett, Whoopi Bitch Goldberg or Meagan Fox as the acting anchors. And the turtles look stupid.
It doesn't really have a lot of competition the weekend it opens. Twister 2 (or whatever that tornado movie with Whori from Walking Dead) and Step Up #19 are about the only legitimate threats that open the same day. So unless Guardians holds it off, it will probably win the weekend but I really don't expect it to do much after that.
And speaking of movies I don't see the need for?
The latest rumor has FatASS McCarthy on as a Ghostbuster in the upcoming Busters 3, now said to have an all-female busting cast. The idea of bringing Ghostbusters back after the death of Ramis is a monumentally bad one. Just leave it alone. If that bloated slab of whale blubber IS the lead? I definitely won't watch it and will consider suing.
There's also a Night at the Museum 3 coming out outlining clearly for all to see how useless Ben Stiller and Robin Williams have become. Look for a Tropic Thunder 2 starring Stiller, Nick Swardson, Margaret Cho, Dice Clay, Michael Richards and Larry the Cable Guy. Featuring Sinbad hilariously playing a white guy and Tyler Perry as an Afghani woman. Cameos by Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and a constantly slumming Robert DeNiro.
