all joking aside, if you enjoy it, good for you. I can only speak for me, but I'm certainly not asking you to share my opinion. I don't like his vision of these franchises, TF's or TMNT. You may not like my opinion or what seems to be a rather shared opinion of how bad his Transformers movies are to the overall canon of the franchise, but you definitely asked us and the fact of the matter is we don't owe you one. We choose to for the sake of argument.

As far as the sheer exposure of the TF franchise to the masses based off of numbers, I don't equate making a lot of money with quality of an artistic endeavor. If that's the case lets call Justin Beiber the most talented musical artist of the new mellenium. Do you think he is?

I believe there currently exists far better representations of the TF's than what Bay did. I don't know if his TMNT will be any good, I can't say for certain...but I can say that if somehow, the turtles end up being aliens...there's gonna be a lot of pissed off fans. That's a fact. Even if this movie makes a billion dollars worldwide.

But to be fair...there are far worse things for today's youth to be exposed to. So I don't mind a new generation gets to watch these characters on screen and become interested
