Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Recommended Posts

those spoilers

 

 

i don't like mythologies changing to movie adaptations unless its thoughtfully done....that doesn't sound anything other than an over simplification for the sake of putting a M bay spin on it

Oh god I see what they mean about a dark tone!!

 

It has the same vibe to it as an end of a Trilogy/'end of the world' film, like Transformers 3.

 

Lighten up Bay you bastard! This is the Turtles!!

Megan Fox and Michael Bay, way to ruin a film. I did chuckle at the end though.

*Sees the trailer start with explosions in a tower*

Me: Whose decision was it to start a Turtles trailer like th-

*Michael Bay's name comes up on-screen*

Me: ...Right.

 

I don't really know what to think of this, but as long as they keep some turtle-bantering, it should be alright.

Your both right, April's Dad and Mahone to be Shredder worked together to create 'the heroes the world needs'.

 

... because the world is crying out for over sized Turtles, that scare the bejezus out of everyone and have to hide in the sewers.

I embrace a new take on the mythos.

 

Also this movie introduces Karai, who is in the cartoon.

 

 

 

 

 

And who is fucking sick.

Agreed. If they hadn't done a new take people would be crying, "Looks so generic. What was the point in making a film if you're just going to rehash old stuff?"

 

Lighten up you miserable cunts.

It's going to be transformers. But with turtles. That's it. Won't be the best movie ever but it will have cool bits and parts that make you lol... but it won't win any awards. Not really sure what people are expecting.

Or it could be the TMNT equivalent of Nolan's Batman.

 

Which I believe many of the people in this thread originally whinged about.

"Heath Ledger as Joker? Stupid casting. Nobody will ever top Jack Nicholson."

Won't be a nolanisation. The humour is already too heavy for that. It could still be good, and honestly it looks like a lot of fun - but it's not going to be genre-defining like the batman trilogy was, and I doubt it will provide anything new story-wise. But it will be entertaining, which will be enough!

Thinking about it, we may still be missing a lot of details. It's entirely possible that April's dad was attempting to make superhumans (unsuccessfully) and some of the chemical he was developing ended up in the sewers and miraculously worked on a group of turtles.

I think that's far more likely than they set out to make giant talking turtles to act as heros.
