Shrek turtles not withstanding I think this may be a fun dumb movie.

Nickelodeon being involved makes me worried which may just be because of The Last Airbender but the blame there might be more on Shamalayan.

 Jane Levy should've played April. I don't hate Megan Fox like most people, but Jane Levy is a wholesome looking redhead who manages to be pretty without having that unnatural "I just spent an hour having makeup applied" look Megan Fox tends to have in every movie she's in. Oh well.

Ensign_Ricky posted:Every time somebody links the trailer on my Facebook, I ask the same question. If I had to guess, they'll play it out that Shredder and April's father created the "ooze" that mutated the turtles, but it wasn't intended to be used on the turtles themselves. As in, keeping sort-of in line with the story of the turtles being created by accident, when someone transporting the ooze loses a container and it drops into the sewer or whatever. They'll probably go into the ooze being some sort of super-serum type thing that's supposed to make someone invincible/stronger/faster/etc. for some other purpose. The movie looks pretty fun though, that initial shot of Leonardo looked pretty badass and I kinda like the CGI aside from the scrunched noses deal. The Shredder outfit looked awesome too, I kinda agree that Fichtner wouldn't have been my first choice for that part outside having a voice that might fit how people expect Shredder to sound. And yes, I want to see all the characters eventually if the first TMNT movie does well, including Krang, Bebob, and Rocksteady.

Maybe I'm giving the writers too much credit here, but I think Fichtner's Shredder might simply be the leader of the New York branch of the Foot Clan, while Karai is the leader of the Japanese branch. Oroku Saki was their mentor, and he's dead by the time of the film. Until the end of the film, when Fichtner Shredder is defeated, and it's revealed that Oroku Saki isn't dead at all.

This is as good a time as any to remind everyone about the horrible shot in the 1990 TMNT right after Donatello says "It's a Kodak moment," he laughs and you can see the actor's mouth inside the mask mouth and it's the stuff of nightmares. Right at 56:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HxooNxRnS0

Intentional or not, it's great that a franchise that started as a comic book that was an amalgamation of 80s comics tropes (teenage drama, mutants, ninjas, funny animals) is now a blockbuster that's full of '10s blockbuster tropes (CGI creatures, origin stories, Michael Baysplosions)Pixeltendo posted:I have a hard time picturing Fitchner saying the line: tonight, we dine on turtle soup! They're saving that line for the tie-in rap by Macklemore, obviously.

Tezcatlipoca posted:Every iteration of Ninja Turtles looks doofy as gently caress. Exactly. Monstrous pro wrestler kung fu mutant turtle monsters emerge from Manhattan sewers at night to chew the scenery. Imagine how they smell. They have noses now, you don't have to imagine.  If there's any justice, Fichtner will whip it out Bison Dollars style 24/7 and survive for a sequel.Going to keep a running count of how often Megan Fox bravely defies direction to deliver an ironic line straight. I'd like to thank the Academy.

Hands up everybody who grew up on the original Eastman and Laird Mirage books in the early 80's, and feels like TMNT was ruined the second Archie Comics turned them into the mainstream crap that apparently everyone else in the world loves and now feels like is being ruined by Bay's reinvisioning. Or is it just me? gently caress, I'm old... Anyway, the original TMNT, give em a shot and see just how far they've fallen. No skateboard. No jokes. No Rocksteady or Bepop. Sometimes April was black, sometimes she was white. No stupid crap. Well... Ok... There were the Triceratons... http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Classics-ebook/dp/B00IU2F2XU

Not a ninja turtles movie without Krang and SHredder. Oh god this looks terrible. I will never watch this. I grew up on the ninja turtles and owned virtually all the toys. All I did with my friend was play ninja turtles and gi joe and transformer. This isn't the same. Buried like many turtles before it in my youth will be my memories of this franchise. I can't get over the new look. They look just so loving stupid.

One of my favorite parts of the first movie is when one of the turtles pokes himself in the face a couple of time with a lollipop when trying to get it into his mouth. EDIT: OK, it wasn't a lollipop but still hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HxooNxRnS0&t=568s Renoistic fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Apr 1, 2014 |

The reason TMNT2K14 look the way they do is the same reason Bay's Prime was given lips: the people making this film feel like audiences will be able to identify better with more human like turtles -- they'll be able to convey emotion better. General moviegoing audiences would recoil at actually realistic anthropomorphic turtles:
