Trailer up!

[Kingpin]

That's three movies I'm looking forward to in 2007, Spider-Man 3, TMNT and Transformers.

Speaking off...

Aw c'mon Spengs, it's like MasterSplinter said... it's meant to tease... he's also gone on record saying he doesn't want anything leaking before the movie... with Turtles there's a specific theme that's always consistant in every vision of the franchise... these Transformers are something new and unique...


Anyway, I'm psyched. The tone is perfectly gritty and moody, something that is so very strong in the first movie and works with the Turtles using shadow for cover with their Ninja training.

The animation is nice and fluid, and they feel like they're got 'mad ninja skilz' (Pardon the l33t) But they can obviously do stuff that the stuntmen (As impressive as they were) couldn't do in the foam suits.

The revised head design looks really good in comparison to the older teaser posters, and even the logo looks good (The one on the old posters was great, but it was taken straight from the cartoon)

My only minor gripe is that the NYPD squadcar (Despite having the official logo, it seems) looks more LAPD... but that's a minor visual thing.

I remember music figuring very prominently in Hellboy, but I can't say that I remember it as being distinctive to that movie... the way Batman music is distinctively Batman, for example. I want the TMNT to have their own recognizable leitmotifs too. But if they don't... meh. I've got my own for them anyway.

There are also mp3 previews on the site.

My personal favourite posters:





Gotta love the bit of lighthearted tone they're taking with Mikey.
