That's very good. And so far, that video seems like it has more actual Martial Arts than the new movie does

Have you seen the stunt people working on this movie??? REALLY people seriously think that they have these great stunt people and aren't going to use them???

That makes absolutely no Sense.

The martial artist working on this movie as just as good and use a similar style to what you just watched.

seriously My favorite is the
"Awe man this is just some stupid April movie wit the turtles in the background."

"these TURTLES SUCK i never wanna see them again"

Kind of mixed messages don't you think?

Goodness. It drives me crazy when sites like this misrepresent still images, or even pieces of footage, contributing to the confusion factor already surrounding this film. I wanna laugh it off, but I LOVE THE TURTLES, like everybody here, and I smh every time I hear somebody talking Turtles, and getting everything wrong...some guy I came across last weekend told me he thought their was gonna be a girl turtle that once he described the story he heard, it was the storyline for the live action next mutation show. I felt compelled to educate him so he knew what he was getting into with this new film and not be completely misinformed.

.........Yup. Just how I predicted people would react. This is a Megan Fox movie. Not a tmnt move.

Kevin and the production company Obviously knows thought Kevin keeps saying dont listen to was you see written on line, Hes been involved with this movie for closed to 4 years, Was brought on right after Johnathan was brought on and Johnathan wanted keep this thin as close as they could. it baffles me so many people are SO adamant that this movie is so terrible. If Mbay wasn't publicly involved none of this nonsense would be happening

I thought I might put this here. Samxsteal and all the other people who support this movie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for insulting you and making fun of you over the past few months. I was an asshole and I'm sorry. I hate the movie but I'm not going to criticize anyone's opinion about it anymore.


If you've been offended by anything I've said in this forum I'm very sorry.

Thanks, ~Snake

I don't want to turn it into an argument. It's My Opinion. I'm talking about seeing Martial Arts fighting from the Ninja Turtles themselves. And I'm just saying that I find it funny that I saw more Martial Arts in that homemade video than in both the trailer and a TV spot of the upcoming movie. Yes, I do think it's strange to see zero Martial Arts Fighting from the title characters themselves so far in any of the promotion when the film is called NINJA Turtles...and if the new trailer changes that, then great!

So, IF this new trailer (coming up soon) doesn't show any good glimpses of the Ninja Turtles themselves actually using Martial Arts...

Then yes, I would think that it is Mighty Strange that in 2 trailers And a TV Spot, there have been zero glimpses of the Ninja Turtles themselves doing any of the 'Raid/Fist of Legend' inspired Fight scenes that the makers mentioned over and over again.

Why am I beating this dead horse?

Because every single Martial Arts film (which yes, with a title called NINJA Turtles, I would think this WOULD BE a Martial Arts film) that I can think of has shown some kind of Martial Arts Fighting during their trailers when they came out. As well as every single Ninja Turtle movie trailer from the past 4 films have shown the Turtles doing some kind of Martial Arts Fighting (the only thing I can think that Didn't do that was the first/original teaser of the CGI film...and at least that showcased most of them moving and acting like Ninjas).

So yes, I find it strange that out of every single Ninja Turtle film trailer in the past and out of so many Martial Arts movie trailers that I can think of, this is one of the few that has showcased zero Martial Arts fighting so far...again, it's just my opinion. And again, if the new trailer changes that, then that is seriously a good thing.

It would be wise not to show too much fighting in a trailer, cause then your giving too much away, Trailers tend to do that, show all the good scenes from the movie.

Yeah, but I'm not saying 'show too much'. I'm saying the fact that they have shown none of the Martial Arts Fighting from the Ninja Turtles. None (and I'm sorry, for anyone who brings it up, but that 1-2 second clip of Donnie swinging a Bo does not count for me.)

Off topic...have you seen the trailers for the Raid 2...when they drop into a stance and they touch hands (Enter the Dragon style) I nearly lost it, epic.

I agree, but I'm wih RamboRaph...I want to see something. I don't want to see Donnie's back as he twirls his staff, or Raph surprise somebody and backfist him into the snow, I want to see some genuine Sword wielding, high kicks to the face, martial arts tricking action.

Is it here yet?...I'm foaming at the mouth. Need...more...turtles.

For GOTG, they had to introduce the masses to who exactly these characters are, what this movie is about, because NO ONE knows them (yes, I know this is an exaggeration, but you know what I'm saying). And for TMNT, a whole bunch of people know about the franchise. They really didn't NEED to introduce the character, we know who the turtles are. GOTG had the job of introducing their movie, the feel, and the characters, and that's what they did. The TMNT trailer was more to get people aware of the upcoming movie and excite them.

We know who the TMNT are, and we are interested in a TMNT trailer, featuring the Turtles, not April, Vernon and Eric Sachs.

At least the Guardians of the Galaxy at least showed all of the Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm just thinking that the studios are aware that people aren't fond of the new designs, so are just delaying showing them as long as they can.

I did see the trailer for the Raid 2. It definitely grew on me. At first I wasn't sure, but as of right now I do want to see it but it is not playing anywhere around here so will have to wait for DVD. And even the teaser for The Raid 2 did show Martial Arts Fighting.

And yes, that's what I am talking about. High kicks to the face, back kicks, expert Sai-wielding, let Mikey wield his Nunchakus and hit people in the stomach or back or face, or if you need Raph to be a brawler let him do stuff like a 'belly to back suplex'. You don't have to show enough to spoil the movie. But you can show A TASTE of the Turtles doing stuff like this, like every single Martial Arts film trailer that I can think of...
