10 Terrible 2014 Films That Tricked Us With Awesome Posters

10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Why The Poster Works: The Michael Bay produced reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise caused some controversy from early on, with a very different sounding origin story upsetting a lot of longtime fans. That was changed shortly after, but their new look still didn't sit well with some. In the end, it's hard to deny though that they actually ended up looking pretty cool, and this fairly simplistic poster brought a lot of sceptics around. The bright, saturated colours do a great job of separating the foursome, and having Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo all wielding their iconic weapons of choice was another nice touch. Why The Movie Sucked: While fans started coming around to the movie, no one was really expecting much from it, and they were right not to. It wasn't a complete and utter failure, but it also wasn't really entertaining enough to really have much of an opinion on either. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles certainly delivered in terms of action, but the villain was forgettable and the story even more so. It was just generic, but that didn't stop it from being a box office hit. A sequel has already been confirmed for 2016, so here's hoping they've learned from past mistakes. Based on the Transformers franchise though, don't hold your breath.
