Michael Bay To Remake TMNT As Aliens

Nidi62 writes "We all know that Michael Bay loves to put 86 minutes of explosions into a 90-minute movie. But it appears that he has found a new way to screw up a movie. He is directing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot in which the turtles are not created with ooze: they are 'from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.' No word yet on whether he's consulting with George Lucas on how to totally destroy the origin and essence of a classic story." Responding to criticism, Bay thoughtfully explained that fans need to "chill."

I mean, FFS, it's in the goddamn name. It's like remaking Pirates of the Caribbean with Cowboys instead of Pirates.

I've read it, but sadly the additions didn't live up to the quality of the rest. I laughed a lot while reading it, but mostly during the parts that were in the original. The dojo scene with Lady Catherine was entertaining, but most of the other new parts just left me wanting to skip on to the end of them. It seemed like a waste of a good concept. I keep meaning to pick up some of the others in the series and see if they were better executed.
