It's quite clear they are more concerned with the toys. So, like the old cartoon, the movie will be a massive toy advert for parents to buy for their kids after the movie ends.

So then we got some questionable cast/story news, and people said "we still haven't seen the Turtles, let's wait." So then, we get a look at the Turtles and Shredder, and when some people don't like them, a few others say, "We still need to see a poster..." Then we get a poster, and people are like, "Well, it's not the *official* poster," or, "Well, we need to see them in motion..."

If the movie ends up pleasing me, I'll say I liked it. But at the same time, I bet if it does suck, certain folks are gonna be like, "Well, maybe we still need to wait for the Director's Cut before we make a decision." The blind faith and desperate want/need to like the movie is puzzling, to me.

As if we can't already tell enough by NOW, as individuals, to form a preliminary opinion. A few months ago, I would have agreed. But we've seen enough in just the last week to say, Yes, some people are entirely justified in thinking they won't like it.

That said, I wanted to hate Man of Steel and I just couldn't. So ya never know.
I feel the same. I'm both dreading the film and looking forward to it. If I like it, I'll be surprised. If I dont, well then... oh well. I gave Dragonball Evolution a chance in theaters, knowing it be bad but not knowing just HOW bad. Last Airbender looked good from the trailers but was really... gross in it's full length.
That's where trailers make or break the movie. Or, really, any marketing.
Some posters dipect a movie's tone and "story" better than the movie does. Sometimes trailers show the best, most exciting stuff from the film and the actual movie falls on itself.

I love, and own, several movies that a general audience hates. I dont care. I loved them for what they are. It's even more fun when the clerk questions my purchases. Speed Racer and RIPD, both on BluRay, for example. Why am I wasting my money, I would be asked. And to buy them in HD?
Because, although not perfect movies, there are parts I enjoy enough to watch the movies again.
The Dark Knight Rises and Man Of Steel; two more movies I often see mentioned, even here on the 'Drome. Generally it seems these movies are disliked and tarnish a franchise. I think both are great films.

I was pointing out a few things. The Staff was something I noted but didn't see anyone mention. Maybe it's something he created?
I think I'm still the only one to point out the kanji on Don's bandana tails.
