Moth Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Here is a video from a tv show this morning, the trailer will be coming out later today. I think it looks alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIC6NFFksyc[/youube] EDIT- just released [/vdeo] I don't know if I should like it or hate it. I wasn't the biggest fan of TMNT when I was a kid. Formerly known as The General Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrk Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Cant help but think of the Goonies when Michelangelo takes off his mask. Quite looking forward to this film tbh, the nick animation, which I was forced to watch because of my son, is actually surprisingly good. I liked the turtles as a kid but I was initially put off by the new art style of the nick animation. Just hope its better than what happened to Transformers, that looked really good until they released it. Edited March 31, 2014 by xrk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still haven't seen the new cartoon because of the art style and animation, I usually hate the 3d cgi type shows but I've been hearing good things about it so I might give it a try. Right now there are three things I don't like, Megan Fox as April, The design of the turtles, and the story seems to be focused on April too much. I'm unsure how I feel about Danny Woodburn as splinter, its mainly his voice. I'm more open to William Fichtner as shredder as long as they go with the reincarnation story, then it would make more sense that he is white and called eric sachs. xrk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 As far as it being based strongly on April - are we only basing this info on the trailer? Remember, she was a strong role in the original film as well, and it didn't seem tooooooo April heavy. Or are our worst fears true and the leaked script is the basis for the story? xrk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatDog96 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It's just with Michael Bay producing and how transformers was and then the trailer came it seems like this will be the same type of movie, there was one line on a picture I seen "The turtles must work with fearless reporter april o'neil and her wise cracking cameraman vernon fenwick to save the city..."

Whatever the original comics were like (Im planning to take a look at those) that alien stuff sounds wrong. I hope thats not whats happening, even if the ooze is extra terrestrial I am really uncomfortable with the turtles being alien. If thats what you mean by original script. Im now in my thirties and looking forward to a film about the turtles lmfao. Edited March 31, 2014 by xrk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienTwo Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah, but F*CK Megan Fox as April O'Neil. That is just wrong... CatDog96 1 http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u330/AlienTwo/GTA/PMBO/PBMO%20Porch%20Sig_2_zpsz7irpplx.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerukal Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) The Turtles look pretty alright, aside from Mike and his... face problem. I don't know. It might be the nostrils? But I think It's definitely the lips. I'm not used to them having lips, at all. Maybe get rid of those? I don't know. I think they look modernized and "badass" almost. But I cannot for the life of me imagine them doing any of the acrobatic "ninja" stuff they did in the shows. I mean sure, the shells were big in the animated series'. But they just look so bulky and armored up in the movie that I can only see them as head-to-head warriors.

CatDog96 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 They're too big and look too human and its weird, I also dislike all the stuff they have on they're meant to be ninjas you can't sneak around, do flips and fight with all that stuff on. this is the perfect look to me, they're the same size as humans and they don't need to wear all this stuff to show their personality because you can get that from the things they do and say.

Xerukal Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Honestly, I liked their appearance from the 2003 animated show best. Although the muscles are a bit exaggerated, lol. The fact that they have clearly distinct shades of green also helps to give each a different feel. Man, I liked everything about that show. He looked seriously menacing back then. Good times.

CatDog96 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I love the 2003 show, the designs were great, it was my favourite master splinter design. Best theme song too. My favourite shredder is the one from the new comics Xerukal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I loved the 2003 theme, but the Nick theme is the best. Kinda sounds like it's being sung by the creepy dude from the Rebecca Black video... I like Flash Forward too. f*ck I'm an old dork. ...just for fun, watch the turtle cure world hunger or something. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz7aEev7U0Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienTwo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) The more I look at the preview, the more I see the resemblance between the turtles and that freaky Xenomorph/Human hybrid from Alien Resurrection... sink Mike's eye sockets a few centimeters and give him 20 years of smoking history and boom.

CatDog96 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 two of the voices have been recast Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo, & Tony Shalhoub (Monk) as Master Splinter. I like the new Splinter voice better and It would be good if he did something similar to what dustin hoffman did as shifu from kung fu panda. Knoxville as Leonardo I think he would've been better as Raph or Mikey, I can't imagine him as leo though. AlienTwo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthYENIK Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I'm all for claiming the "Michael Bay is just producing" card. I said the same thing about the Friday the 13th remake, and I ended up liking that movie. But this has sh*t written all over it. In other words, from what I've seen, it has his creative fingerprints all over it. The making the Turtles big, the casting of Megan Fox, the casting of a white guy as Shredder and Johnny Knoxville as Leonardo, and the lens flare fest that makes JJ Abrams question it's use. I know it's just a trailer, but it looks like Transformers 5, but with turtles instead of robots. My guess is that Bay had gone further along as director of this, than we thought he did. I'm gonna stop now, because I hate judging movies before I see them. But sometimes it's just involuntary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would care as much if I wasn't such a 80's Cartoon TMNT fan as a kid... http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u330/AlienTwo/GTA/PMBO/PBMO%20Porch%20Sig_2_zpsz7irpplx.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Maybe you're forgetting just how bad the original TMNT was... I'm optimistic. I'm saying this as a guy who dug most of Transformers, so, grain of salt there. But I'm pretty stoked to see this, no matter if we see turtles destroy five hummers, a black hawk helicopter, AND an aircraft carrier in slo motion with American flags flying in the background.

AlienTwo Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I know... it was bad... but I want a movie that has April O'Neil as I remember her, Beebop and Rocksteady, Krang inside his Android in the technodrome... They should just give me a boatload of cash so I can make the movie I want to see. http://i516.photobucket.com/albums/u330/AlienTwo/GTA/PMBO/PBMO%20Porch%20Sig_2_zpsz7irpplx.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatDog96 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yep it will probably be sh*t, Im disappointed this is the movie we get, it's been 20 years since the last movies and if this movie is bad I don't want to wait 20 years for a reboot.

CatDog96 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think the splinter design is great and the voice is good, I remember reading something about them wanting the action to be like The Raid, so i'm looking forward to the Splinter vs Shredder fight even if the rest of the movie is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatDog96 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Concept art for Splinter & Shredder. Splinters concept art looked perfect. and It would of been cool to see on screen, but I still like the movie design with the topknot and fu manchu. And then theres this picture that looks like a transformer thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerukal Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Woah, that concept art of Shredder is incredible. Love that design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikolibrety Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 The movie will be directed by the director of the godaful sequel to that godawful clash of the titans reboot film. Now Michael Bay will probably get most the hate but hes made 2 good movies: The Rock and Pain and Gain. This has the worst miscasting ever, Knoxville as leonardo when he would be better as an michaelangleo and an white guy as shredder along with obviously megan fox as april o neil.
