Official Movie Poster

[CowabungaMikey]

Aside from Don's glasses and Leo's pose, I really like this designs. I have hope in this film again.

You guys, think about it. Donatello's head is wider than a normal human head. Didn't it occur to anyone that since obviously they don't make extra wide glasses for a mutant turtle head, maybe Donatello broke the glasses in the middle and extended the bridge with tape so that the lenses are an appropriate length apart so he can see out of them?

If you ask me, that seems like a far more reasonable explanation about the glasses.

By that logic, Raph and Mike should have broken their glasses too.
Even in the on-set disguise shots with Megan Fox, they are wearing normal scene/hipster glasses.
We have yet to see if Leo owns some shades.

If the movie had nothing to do with Bay I doubt they're would be as much negative judgement like saying the turtles are too big or the clothes are dumb.

I can tell you right now, even if it was Edgar Wright, I would be saying "WTF" and doing the same thing all over the place.
Bay's name is an extra prick in the side when thinking of this project... along with the director.

He couldn't even fit in a taxi.

I'm just going to say, I have never seen that picture.
So, I'm observing normal sized legs on Raph (so, will they replace digital Turtle legs in the computer or not? Surprised the actor didn't wear "fake Turtle legs" on set.).
Also, Fox has Raph's sai in her boots?
And Raph is wearing yellow hipster glasses instead of his more Oakley looking ones from the "poster".

I can picture this 'art' perfectly on the imminent hip hop soundtrack album.
And that's not a compliment.

This one looks better

[FlawedCoil82]

Yea, Raphael's full head bandana is what bothers me the most. And then the extra gear they are wearing is the second offense.

[Gin Rummy]

Other than Donnie's overly nerdy specs. I really like the design. Realistic but not vomit inducing. I'm also okay with the title "Ninja Turtles" if that is the case. In fact it would help distinguishing it from the other films.

On one other matter, I am getting conditioned to Raph's bright green eyes. It's a small detail, but I can't help but be a tad disappointed that they seem to be blue in the movie.

What legal reason could Viacom have to get a picture of a poster at a toy fair taken down? They don't own the picture that some random attendee took.

Overall, I'm much happier with the designs than I thought I would be.

The one thing that's bugging the snipes out of me has to do with people constantly commenting on Donnie's glasses. You're assuming a lot. For one, due to his beak, there's no way he would fit in any regular pair of glasses, thus the broken frames and tape. Kind of a necessity there. The big assumption bugging me is that people are assuming that they only gave them to Donnie to "nerd him up." Here's the deal: if you work on computers and/or with wiring, small parts, etc. a LOT you normally jive better with having a pair of magnifiers - and not the ridiculous jewelry style ones, but a basic pair of reading glasses. Could I see them as a necessary tool that Donnie might have in his arsenal when teching? Yes. Necessary for the poster? Maybe not.

As far as Raph's full bandana goes, well, it screams '90s gangsta, and for some odd reason, I see it fitting him well. The sun glasses, despite some comments, look like they would just barely fit, but I could see them being used. (As someone who rocks frames, sometimes you deal with frames being super tight if it fits the need.)

The more I see the concept work, the less the noses bug me. Depending on what turtle-verse and background story you go with, it would make sense for the guys to have human-esc characteristics.

[D Piddy 1982]

Wow! Those images are incredible! First sniff of anything I've seen since the kids Mikey costume pic that was leaked!

I for one am very impressed and have some faith restored in this project.

I find it hard to comprehend why some people hate these designs SOoooo much?...each to his own I guess, everyone's entitled to their opinion. If we all liked the same thing we'd all drive the same cars, have the same looking wives....

Massively excited now...

That picture of the disguised Raph has him towering over Megan Fox, so they're definitely on the tall side. Six feet or taller, I'd guess.

And the 1990 Turtles were actually shorter than most humans, as in the comics and cartoon at the time:



(Granted, Jim Henson was 6'3", but they're all significantly shorter than him.)

It may be because I've been along for the entire TMNT ride thus far but I don't think these are all that bad.
Is it the direction I wanted for the movie? Nope.
I'm not the one making the movie though so until I make a TMNT I can't complain all that much.
I'll see it but I've got low expectations going in, which could be good.
I do have to say though this look would have worked better for a comic or one off series of toys or something.
Personally I'd have gone with the a mirage look (Peter or Kevin style).
I think it's the noses and lips that kill the design the most though.
They really remind me of the 90's Henson show Dinosaurs.

Yeah that's what a friend at work said and now I can't unsee that either.

[Jester]

Still not sure what I think. I agree with the whole "Fan Art to the X-TREME!" thought of Powder and I've been thinking of the taped glasses, maybe it's out of necessity rather than "NERD!!!!" coding. I mean the bridge of Donnie's beak is larger than the bridge of a human's nose. Just playing devil's advocate.

And with this new change in design trying to "express" themselves it's most likely hipster glasses. But who knows. It can be debated, it won't be explained in the movie most likely so it's just trivial really.

[electric_sheep]

every time i get even a little hope for this movie, i remember that Liebesman is directing and that Megan Fox is in it...

Man, you're as big a broken record as Cybercubed about White Shredder and TurtleFanForever about the Nick series.

You've expressed your view and metephorical heigharchy that everyone on here must have the same view, and the only ones that matter have the same view as you. Your narcissistic views and false sense of superiority can only be surpassed by powders sophomoric jests about the mentally handicapped people.

[powerlaces]

Based on the sloppy photoshop work I'm guess that this is just a poster created in-house by a designer at Playmates (using turtle render assets) and not the official poster of the movie.

[Plasticplayhouse]

i'm ok with most of the look. the lips are a bit distracting though. i wish they would be less large and less texturized. they should look more smooth.

Yeah Jester, was thinking the same thing concerning the extreme here from several descriptions. I'm picturing them with the normal turtle beaks with humanoid lips at the ends. Then someone else said that they look like goblins, so like you, not sure what to think. I've also been laughing because a good number of us are complaining about the clothes. I guess we've all grown accustom to a bunch of turtles in their birthday suits over the years? I certainly include myself among that number. I think the turtles were meant to be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMndcQI4l9k hehe but that's just me.

[electric_sheep]

not that different except head is a little taller and a shoulder pads are different color...
