IMAX[edit]

It is indeed an IMAX film, albeit in limited release. For some strange reason the article was edited to exclude that categorization. Restoration, this time to stay? [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.118.13 (talk) 20:58, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What part of IMAX do some people not understand? I give up and guess this thing will never properly be categorized as an IMAX film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.251.118.199 (talk) 00:01, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

is tmnt one of the worst fims off all time?[edit]

is teenage mutiant ninja turtles one of the worst films ever made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.72.210.21 (talk) 00:55, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No. Turtles is not one of the worst films ever, it is not even the worst Michael Bay film ever.[2] -- 109.79.75.247 (talk) 00:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it is not a Michael Bay film and shouldn't be mentioned as such. --Pissedgreenlink (talk) 06:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Negative reviews[edit]

Some editors are ignoring the sources. This film has a score of 22% from Rotten Tomatoes and 31% from Metacritic, and Metacritic specifically says "generally unfavorable reviews". Objectively the sources support stating that the reviews were "negative" or "generally negative".

[3] The reviews were not mixed, it was not correct to restore that claim. [4] It is not even WP:NPOV to say the reviews were "mixed to negative"

Again, according to the reliable sources, the reviews were negative.
Having said that reviews aren't everything, you might still be able to turn your brain off and enjoy the film on some level.[5] -- 109.79.75.247 (talk) 00:44, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly the recently added "Fan response" section[6] is not based on reliable sources and includes unreliable audiences scores, ignoring WP:USERGENERATED. Unless reliable sources can be found (instead of Youtube videos, blogs, and fansites) it should be removed. -- 109.79.167.172 (talk) 14:54, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was waiting in case there was any possibility of it being salvaged (unlikely) but an editor has gone ahead and removed it. Thanks. -- 109.79.167.172 (talk) 00:01, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing out just how out-of-policy it was. oknazevad (talk) 00:18, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Box office success information seems off[edit]

This article seems to denote that the movie was a box office success based off of a Deadline article's "experts" calculation however looking at their data I don't see where they calculate in what the movie theaters were actually paid, selling tickets is how movie theaters pay their bills and their employees.

The only information listed is Domestic and Foreign releasing cost both set at $65 million. which could be the movie theaters take but that's a wildly odd number for two reasons. First they should be percentage of the gross as of course they're tied to the ticket sales... those two numbers being exactly the same would be wildly coincidental. Second it would mean domestic theaters only took 34% and foreign theaters which usually take much more than domestic only took 22%...

that is also wildly irregular as theaters generally take 50% domestic and 65% foreign as of course international requires more fees... which leads me to believe those aren't the theater numbers and those numbers were completely left out of their calculations. At the end of the day, usually a movie that makes 500 million off of $125 million budget is a flop, that is to say usually loses money, because the movie houses take half or more.

It just seems this is may not be the most reliable source for data and it'd be nice to get actual figures from the studio or a more reliable source before claiming it was a success, I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying I'm not seeing convincing data on what the movie theaters were paid anywhere and they must have been paid. 104.136.82.24 (talk) 23:56, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The news article says they're including ancillary revenues. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Cast list in Infobox[edit]

The cast list in the Infobox was changed again recently.[7] The documentation {{Infobox film}} recommends listing the starring cast based on the poster. The starring cast are not listed in the billing block of the poster.

What source is being used to set a reasonable limit on which cast to list or not list in the Infobox? -- 109.78.199.198 (talk) 05:08, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
