not excited...
I'm actually a bit worried.

It was linked earlier on IRC.

I was always a ghostbusters kid, the turtle going into the hummer set off warning bells though. However William Fichtner being the Shredder means I will probably find time when it gets to DVD.

Should be labelled NSFW. It took everything in my power not to laugh.

Michael Bay, need I say more?

Normally no, however I reckon he earned a couple of points for pain and gain.

/Me returns back to David Cronenburg films.

I thought Micheal Bay had it with Megan Fox. This doesn't seem as dark as the original Keven Eastman/Peter Laird comics. Too bad.

Don't go, Ninja. Don't go, Ninja, don't go.

Honestly, the animatronic suits from the 90's looked better... plus, they had Vanilla Ice, too.

Well, hes already ruined transformers for us, now probably this. I guess if he continues along this childhood destruction path... I think its probably Sesame Street thats up next.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Sadly, that's probably his most competent made film to date.

Lets get the obvious things out the way:

- Turtles look too ugly (I know they are mutants but there is no need to make them look this bad)
- William fichtner as shredder. No badass japanese samurai looking dude as how we know shredder should look.
- Megan fox as april. Not redheaded, cant act, movie will most likely focus on her and not the turtles.
- The implication that the turtles were "created" by shredder.
- No Casey Jones (that we know of)

More detail:

I wasnt a fan of transformers growing up but even i could tell that they took the focus off them to focus on sam and megan in the movie and was ridiculous. I really fear the same happening to this film. Old movies understood that you dont have to have a human male/female main character as your lead, transformers somewhat got away with it but this film wont. If the turtles dont get more screentime than megan then this movie will bomb HARD and will destroy the reputation and any chance of fixing it. Speaking of Megan... WHY CAST HER?! She is single-handedly the worst actress right now and she isnt even that hot. I will still give this film a chance when its out but i dont want the turtles to turn from being cool to a joke and secondary characters. Like what happened to transformers...

Megan Foxx as April O'Neil, sorry, but in the original show, April O'Neil had a perceptible IQ, Megan Foxx does not. And since when were the Ninja Turtles Shrek wannabies?

If only they hired someone else to write her lines for her

Assuming she can understand the lines. Guess that would rule out anything besides being a slut.

Someone improved the turtle design in Photoshop (1 is the improved design, 2 is the design from the trailer). What could have been:

So by a show of hands, how many of you also think they' were trying to reach the Uncanny Valley?

 

[Youkai]

omg ...

they should stop with reviving the old series already.
I liked the Original Turtles Movie and I was a hugh fan of the original cartoon (called Hero Turtles here in Germany) and i was already totaly pissed off swing that new cartoon series ... who knows what they are making out of the movie but most attempts of resurecting the old stuff in a new style fails so Bad at least for all the old people I know who watched the Originals

So... someone saw the Silver Samurai from The Wolverine and thought, "THIS is our Shredder!"
