Didn't see him. Tbh I'd be perfectly okay if we never saw him again. He was a shameless whitewashing of Oroku Saki.

Literally no-one cares.

How insecure must you be if you can't make it through two posts without broadcasting that some poor female being has become the prisoner of your loins?

Wow this movie actually looks like a lot of fun. From that brief moment we saw him, I already kind of like this new Stockman. And Bebop and Rocksteady running wild in a tank?! This movie seems to have the potential to be big, loud, stupid fun and that's an improvement over the first movie's just plain stupid. I'm looking forward to it now.

Still there's quite a lot to dislike.

Has a character ever delivered a line that so obvious you actually route against them? The whole exchange between Laura Linney's character and Raph of "what are you, super heroes?" and his response of "we're just four brothers who hate bullies and love our city" is eye rollingly bad. On a deeper note it seems that any defenders of the origin who argued we'd get more backstory involving Hamato Yoshi are up **** crick seems these turtles fight the Foot because they are just darned nice guys.

Again I really hope that the turtles retain their anonymity but it seems they are determined to work that in. Also the whole sliding through a sewer pipe was pathetic the first time we don't need it again. I get the powers that be thought the turtles sliding down a mountain on their shells was genius - don't overdo it.

Also we're getting Megan Fox telling us that there's going to be more turtles in the movie. Do not think having her give the interviews saying this sends the wrong message.

The promise that we'll get to know the turtles a lot more was something they incessantly promised last time. I remember Jeremy Howard and Alan Richson making big points to say how much depth the characters would have and they wont be one-note like every other version. (All told I don't think that's much of a problem in previous versions most of which steered clear of that problem) and it turned out the movie featured the most one-note version of the characters yet.

Also I don't like the dismissal of them not wanting Dark Knight-esque aspects in this series as if that's a bad thing. Let's forget how the turtles are kinda supposed to be stylistically dark. In fact isn't Dave Green's twitter header the famous panel of Raphael from Mirage's TMNT #1. If anyone paid attention to such things I think they'd get a very different message about the movie he was making.

Exactly. You're giving us the splash of cold water we need right now, Galactus.

This is still built on the garbage foundation of the first movie, and with all of the characters and "toyetic" stuff crammed in, what are the odds that it's going to deliver an actual decent story? If all you're looking for is Fred Wolf cartoon fan-service and dumb/loud action CGI spectacle, then sure, I'm sure this will deliver what you want. But if you were disappointed in the last movie on a story level, there's really nothing here to suggest that this will be any better.

STOP SH*TTING ON MY FAVORITE CHARACTER'S LEGACY.

This is a pretty familiar feeling by now, isn't it?

Well, yeah, it matters a lot. Because that completely changes who the character is. Just because he puts on a hockey mask doesn't mean it's the same end result -- it just meant it looks like it on the surface.

I never said he was the director. He is, however, undeniably steering this ship.

Eric Sachs was nowhere in the trailer.

No TMNT fan can tell me this is not the kinda trailer they would've loved for the sequel to the original 1990's movie. Bebop & Rocksteady lookin awesome, none of dat Tokka/Rahzar BS! Baxter Stockman being the memorable goofball he is. Shredder actually humanised instead of a giant roided-out monster but still just as intimidating. Casey Jones kicking ass and being smug about it. The Shellraiser. Basically everything except Megan Fox and the KNOWLEDGE of Michael Bay's involvement...but even back then, you wouldn't have given a **** about those minor details.

If you didn't like that trailer then that's just cynicism at it's finest. That Tank scene alone is more ambitious than anything we've had involved with the Turtles since...well, the snow chase scene in the last film.

I can & will tell you that. This is not the kinda trailer I would've loved for the sequel to the original 1990's movie.

It's a great trailer for what it is, I will definitely give them that, but it's not at all like that film universe, nor would that one have made sense going in such a different direction.

Not really, there really isn't all that much to Casey's character (especially the 80s cartoon; sorry Casey fans), and there certainly won't be in this movie.

The Turtles still have human clothing, noses, and Don is still wearing those awful glasses. Sure, they look better than the first film, but they're still not the Turtles we know and love.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: It's gonna take more than Bebop, Rocksteady, an actual Japanese Shredder and Casey Jones with Dimension X thrown in to convince me to see this in theaters.

You, sir, are awesome.

I'm suprised about the lack of anger and rage in this thread. Like, no sh*tstorm? Remember when the first movie came out? I flipped out, got in a few fights, partially responsible for getting the whole section shut down (twice). Where are all the new users to start fights with?

Folks have come to their senses. No use beating dead horses or singing premature praises.

Probably because everything is expected this time around. We know what the Turtles designs are, first time they were a shock/surprise.

Hmm, good question, didn't see hide nor hair of him; and to be honest, nor did he even cross my mind until you asked about him.

The grieving process has moved on to the "acceptance" phase. Well, sorta.

I'll admit, I at this. Barely recognised you Powder with that avatar.

But Secret of the Ooze did, right?
