The NEW Official Trailer Discussion

[sethmartin]

I'm wondering... What is the tower that falls in the trailer. What are the people running away from in the street. They are all looking up. Do you think they are looking up at the destruction or something else? What causes all of that destruction?

People hate it beacause it's new, Can't find a better argument? Have you maybe thought that people hate it beacause it doesen't look good?

That's what I wanna know

I think I broke one of my friend's rib. He couldn't stop laughing each time I randomly showed him various stills of the turtle face close-ups, particularly Donnie's hilarious mug.

As he left, he clutched his stomach in pain. It was glorious.

I'm not sure if they were just being lazy by using the same trailer and shoe horning in some new footage. The new turtle shots looked okay, aside from funny particular moments (Whats with donnies face?).

But since there was nothing new, can't really say it changed my opinion about the movie. Kind of blows that they decided to reuse the same trailer, just screams lazy to me.

It is pretty sad that for a new Live Action film in over 20 years, a reaction that it garners is being laughed at. And I agree. I did stumble onto those pictures of Donnie's 'Derp' Face (he's getting ready for a new Revenge of the Nerds movie) and I get why you are

[Casey]

I can't understand how they allowed them to look like this. It's just bad design. Not just turtle design-just plain bad and pretty comical. Who would let this slide? Leo looked cool in the teaser and first trailer even though Mikey was ugly, but In this new one... what were they thinking!?

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I swear. This trailer is pretty much proof that the studio is trying to spend as little money as possible on this movie so that they won't have as big of a loss later.

You guys weren't the only ones, I was laughing hard too. It came across as more like unintentional action-themed melodrama hilarity than anything particularly serious or ominous to me.

That's a great point. They've spent close to nothing on marketing...

[Wildcat]

Don's face only looks silly because his mouth is wide open and he's screaming, especially when we just see it so briefly. The glasses are out of place though. Probably looks better without them.

Other than that they look like we've been seeing. We've seen Don on the poster so we know he's not wildly different from the others.

Darn still no good shot of Raph.

Though I honestly think Raph, again much like Wolverine, isn't a good character to lead a show. My personal opinion is that their character type is best suited as a supporting character who frequently steals the scenes they're in. You use them subtly and they will naturally steal the spotlight rather than sticking them squarely in it. Though for a series, each of them should have a fair share of episodes that's focused on them.

I like how IDW has been handling each of them getting time cycling through into the focus.

If I had my choice? I'd rather see Leo saving the other three in this film simply because I would expect Raph to be the focal point for the movie that brings in Casey. How do you not give Raph screen time when you bring in Casey?!

Well...actually I'd rather scrap the "one saves the others" entirely. I think the first film should be very much a team film that never lets one take focus over any of the others.

Or, if their intention is to make a series of movies, make 4 movies. One Turtle gets a main focus in each one, with a lot of support from the others.

Movie 1: Raphael (villain can be Slash or something else)
Movie 2: Donatello (villain can be Baxter Stockman and can introduce April)
Movie 3: Michelangelo (insert your own villain that you'd want)
Movie 4: Leonardo (villain The Shredder in a final battle)

And in all four movies, sprinkle shots and sequences and such of The Foot & Purple Dragons throughout them.

Actually, the othe close-up with the always crossing eyes and poofy lips is way more hilarious then the "Firin ma lazar" screaming face.

[electric_sheep]

So anyone want's to help me count how much "nerd" stereotypes they crammed into one donnie? It's a to much for one man to handle...

[Donatello19]

Hm? New trailer? I gotta check this out...

*one viewing later*

Wh...what...what did I just see? Is that supposed to be Donatello..?

THESE DESIGNS ARE HIDEOUS! DONNIE LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE! HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP SO BADLY? IF I WAS A KID, I SWEAR THAT TRAILER WOULD'VE GIVEN ME NIGHTMARES DUE TO DON SCREAMING! IT GAVE ME CHILLS AS IT IS! I HATE THIS MOVIE THESE ARE NOT THE NINJA TURTLES!



Ok...ok..I'm sorry for...that. If the movie itself is good, then I can get over these nightmare fuel designs...maybe. Donatello looks TERRIBLE...ugh.

That's what I am thinking, I am not 100% sold on the looks in general but I like the showing of the emotional range. Also, I wonder if he has the glasses on all the time. And not gonna lie, that new shot of Raph looks pretty rad.

So spend as little money as possible marketing the movie to save money when the film cost 125 million dollars???? Yeah I don't think so. It's just early. Wait until mid June- July and you'll see promotional material, trailers, tv spots, and toys everywhere.
