RSS Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Did 300 score a perfect 10? Does a Neil Gaiman-approved Stardust adaptation move past Alan Moore's estranged V for Vendetta? And do any Fantastic Four movies break the Top 10? Unless you're a super-fan who can remember every audio contribution I've ever made, read on!

Malpractice Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 The fact that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gets a 6.5/10 is complete and utter bullshit. It's better than every single movie on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 HA! It's good, but not that good! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malpractice Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 HA! It's good, but not that good! :laugh: the only one that i could possibly accept as a better movie is X-2 and maybe Stardust but calling that a comic book movie is stretching it quite a bit.

slothian Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Dude, I think your avatar gives you away on this one!! As Yoda says, Turtles I is a good movie in regards to the fact it's a fun, family action flick - hey, it was the first film I ever saw in the cinemas and I was a HUGE Turtles fanboy back in the day!! Having said that, if you're not around my age (22) or older and thus weren't around for the late 80s/early 90s Turtles explosion, the film isn't going to have all that much to show for itself to new fans. And that's just Turtles I - lord knows where you reckon II and III should be placed!! Compared to the 7 films above it you think less highly of, I reckon you could make pretty decent arguments for it challenging it's immediate neighbours (Ghost Rider, Blade, TMNT, Spidey 3). BUT come X-Men, I'd have no problem making arguments myself for why TMNTurtles isn't in the toppermost quarter. It doesn't have the consistent quality of X2, the stunning action visuals of 300 or the themes to provoke debate that V For Vendetta did. I'm not saying you have to make a blue screen, slo-mo, epic Turtles film with a love angle to make it a 10 in my books, but I enjoyed the CGI treatment of the Turtles a bit more - if they'd tightened up the ending and remembered to include Donatello a bit more, TMNT could have made an 8.5 or something similar. But thanks for your comments!! I was worried that this article series, which is *basically* just me listing what I've ranked films, wouldn't get any feedback accordingly, but I'm certainly happy to argue the positioning of each film on my chart!! Oh, and as for Stardust, check out my article called Definition. That's what I'm using to determine which movies I include for review.
