The NEW Official Trailer Discussion

[Radical Raph]

I love the new designs the more I see of them in action. There might be some that have legitimate issues with them, but I think most people just hate them because they're so attached to the original designs. But this is just a new take and I'm willing to give it a chance.

Because, to me and a lot of people, those original designs were perfect. People can make fun of the animatronics or such if they want on the previous films (which I would disagree with and seems more apparent lately from some folks) but the actual 'Designs' of the Turtles were Pitch Perfect.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Um...actually yeah. Kevin Smith, for example, has lamented multiple times how making double his budget back at a box office doesn't even break even because the studio will sink almost equal to the film's budget on marketing.

Which would mean 125 million budget...spending millions on marketing wouldn't be entirely out of the question. They *are* doing minimal marketing thus far.

Just have to keep waiting to see how it pans out as it gets closer.

I actually got...less interested with the latest trailer. As in, dunno if I'll see it opening weekend anymore level of less interest.

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.

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.

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

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.
