I am bringing my child to see it. I care nothing about the legacy of TMNT or that which must honor the past. I just want to see a cool action movie with some turtles kicking some arse. It's that simple really.

Michael Bay

Noses on the turtles

Bay


The fact that Shredder looks like a fricking transformer

Toe Thumb as the female lead

It's PG-13 for no good reason.

We'll be alright. The noses still bother the sh** out of me, but I'm hoping for 1 maybe 2 chuckles. Their voices don't even make sense to me.

Could they not bring these guys back?

I can get over the actual turtles but the costume elements look ridiculous. Like the clothing and accessories need to tell us about the character because Michael bay and his stooges don't know how to convey any singular traits to establish a character

They're not really difficult characters to write

Leonardo - leader/responsible
Donatello - nerd
Raph - a-hole
Mike - party dude/likes pizza

I think the NYC element will make it feel wrong.

I agree. This is how I felt about how they represented Gotham in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

I thought that was the only element missing that the next batman series could do well and distinguish itself with; however, those movies are still awesome and while gotham isn't a real place, the people were...

but crappy new York is essential to everything turtles. you can have crime in a pristine gotham, but garbage and junk are kind of an important part of the turtles recipe...I don't know that you can do without it

but for good measure, most everything else will blow way worse so no need to get too stuck on it. Snowy mountains, hummers, robot shredder...couldn't they get someone who knows something about ninja turtles to make the movie?

Leonardo has to do a sideways back flip to introduce himself to april, landing on a ledge to make him look like this gargantuan figure (like transformers)

this is essentially transformers with ninja turtles...whoopi Goldberg? are you fricking serious?
