i just watched it hahahah and your right but at the same time there was alot of the same stuff as well. i love watching international trailers

Inception, lol.

For some reason international trailers seem to have more action...I'd love to see an international turtle trailer. Like one tailored for Japanese audiences, Japanese trailers are always action packed, don't know why, but I'm not complaining.

I say, say what you gotta say. If you were the type to insult and offend people you would have already been banned. Or at least warned.

That should tell you a lot about just how "confident" TPTB are about the movie. A teaser length trailer for the second trailer? With even the first one at teaser length too?

Hm. Seems like they don't want you to see too much.

I seriously doubt that's even a factor

i minute and a half is d decent amount of time to show what need to be seen with out giving to much away.

Hell even the 30 sec spot did amazing. trailer times aren't and issue in in all honesty the 2-5 min trailers are a newer thing.


There s whole video about why movie trailers suck

I agree to a point...its seems like they want to show enough just to hook you in, but wont reveal too much for fear that it'll ruin the movie going experience. They seem to employ the same strategy when releasing material for Transformers, back by same company and all.

I dont however get how their current releases for the Turtles shows a lack in confidence. Everyone seems to agree that August will be dominated by Guardians of the Galaxy...and for all the arguments about the lack of Turtle marketing...people seem to forget that Guardians (at the time of this writing) only has ONE official trailer out, and character spots, that last only 30 seconds a piece, and just rehash footage from the trailer - yet nobody is saying that Marvel doesn't have faith in this property.

Minus some of the negative fan reaction, I dont think PD, MBay, JLiebsman or anyone else involved has nothing but confidence in their product, and will show things when they are good and ready...and their marketing guys say its time. Shoot with the anniversary just around the corner, who's to say they arent waiting for that, or comic-con.

anyways. rant over.

I think they are scared sh*tless of what bad word of mouth will do and sprout from even casual TMNT fans. Show the bare minimum, just action shots, 3-5 second money shots of various Turtles in action bits, Shredder, Splinter, vague monologue... you'll see. They're scared to death to let the actual story and tone out there right now to maximize that ever important first weekend.

I can't say that has never happened before, but I will say I hope that isn't actually the case here. Again, Marvel only has one trailer out for GOTG, and ppl already predict it'll be the monster hit in August (I'm one of those ppl) - so I don't think lack of footage demonstrates a complete lack of faith, but agree to disagree.

And a little off topic...You mentioned story and tone...I just started reading the IDW comics, and I cannot believe how drastically they changed their origin. I was initially upset, but after allowing myself to settle, I realized they hit all the right notes, kept the same key elements, all while giving the story a new twist...it actually makes me feel better about what changes they might introduce in this new movie-verse.

Hellyeah!!!!! Can't not begin to explain how tortuous the wait is for this movie. Jesus Christ I wish August would get here already. So excited. Hope they surprise us with a movie adaptation from IDW. That would rock so hard. Also kinda wish there was a movie game coming. I know movie games aren't the best but to have another TMNT game would be dope. I really Out of the Shadows even though it had flaws. I loved it,it had so much potential. Only if RedFliy had a slightly bigger budget.

I agree. I really don't mind if they make a few changes to the origin as long as it makes sense for the story their trying to tell. I really hope what that one person put up about seeing a test screening was true cause it didn't sound that bad to me.

I think your right with that last sentence. But it just seems judging by most of your postings on here that you really want this film to do terrible, and there's nothing wrong with that. I strongly disagree with the assumption that they are " scared to death " bc they are not giving to much away. Some would say that they don't really want to see too much and have anything spoiled. Changes and reshoots are a normal thing these days esp. with CGI heavy films. Trailers are really meant to create more questions than answers leaving you wanting to go and have those questions answered. I don't think that this has anything to do with confidence. Its not the first time a film has had its first and second trailers be under 2 minutes.. They are doing a good job keeping people at the edge of their seats with suspense and I think with this next trailer they're going to drop another Bomb on our heads. Just a feeling I have. The first trailer was an absolute success, in terms of creating mass interest. It set the internet on fire and pulled in 31.4 million views in its first week. Last I checked that's more than ANY trailer for any movie out this year. There is obviously a method to their madness and its becoming clear what that method is. Quality over quantity. I suspect that in the next 3 months we will get some full length trailers keeping peoples interest peaked and creating even more questions. Maybe even more controversy if that's even possible lol. 130 million dollars they better be confident in this film lol that's a butt load of money.

Yeah. It's weird to me to see some people comment like they want the film to do bad. I mean hold off judgement until you've actually seen the movie. Me I'm so ready for it. I feel we're all in for a pleasant surprise. I hope it does what the first Transformers movie did or a little bit better. And those views on Youtube aren't anything to just ignore. I really hope the public doesn't listen to the butt hurt fanboys cause I really think this will be a pretty fun movie.

That's what im thinkin.. I like that Gif of Donnie. If you look closely you can see Mikey also fighting a foot soldier. It looks like that scene will be pretty intense. I cant wait till next week to come back here and discuss the new trailer. When people aren't being nasty this forum is actually a lot of fun. Its kind of addicting lol. Like I said before these are exciting times for Turtle fans.

Okay, this is the sort of posting that starts fights right here. People who don't agree with you are apparently butthurt, and people who have decided they don't like what they see and don't want to see more are unreasonable for forming an opinion without watching the movie.

Let's pretend for a minute that the turtles were played by four nude men in body paint, the film is a horror comedy, Leo is serial rapist and instead of mutating as a result of ooze, they were magically transformed by eating a cursed tuna sandwich. I'm guessing you wouldn't like that, even if you only knew all this from seeing a short teaser, because it sounds terrible, and even if you haven't seem the entire film, you already know that what you have seen you hate so much that you can't imagine enjoying the film. That's how it feels to me when I see the turtles in hideous character designs, clothes that reduce them to stereotypes, an airhead actress, both major Japanese characters played by white men, and a director with an absolutely abysmal track record. This is not what I want from a Ninja Turtles movie. This is not the new direction I want the franchise to go, because I'll be forced to stop supporting it and stick with only my love of previous TMNT projects. So yeah, I feel fine saying I hope this film does poorly, because it's pretty reasonable to for me to expect that I won't enjoy this film, and I don't want to see more projects like it. It's possible I may eventually watch the film and find out that it was a good movie despite all the things I hate, but they chose to show me what I've seen, and I'm making my decision based on the information available to me. I'm in no way obligated to support this film before making a decision about it, and buying a ticket would be supporting this film.

So can we please stop this childish "butthurt" business?

Yeah I agree looks almost samurai like, 4kids was able to pull it off, but I always prefer the Ninja look.

And I think thats what everyone fears, but I am confident Nick will do their best. If platinum dunes can't get it done, I guarantee they will find someone who will. This is Nick's action franchise, they will do what they have to to keep the franchise popular in the mainstream.

I know Shredder is not really supposed to look stealthy as he is openly the leader and all of the armor gives him away. I just feel like if he had to vanish, he could. In this, the suit almost looks more like one a jostler would wear. Like it would bog him down or something. I haven't seen the finished product yet, so we'll see.
