The NEW Official Trailer Discussion

[mistajee33]

The skateboarding looks sweet.

I'm glad they didn't show much more. This is just enough to keep me going. The trailer is perfect now. Have some patience and wait, it'll be worth it in the end.
The turtles need to emote in this movie which is something the earlier films lacked. In order for this to be accomplished the faces need to have certain elements otherwise it would look too cartoony and take you out of the movie.
For instance, if they went with faces closer to these:


In order to have the mouth open wide (like with Mikey) and then smaller (like Leo's) skin on the face would have to appear and disappear as needed. This is what happens in cartoons and would look very out of place in a live action movie. Things need to be accounted for in facial structures including natural folds and lines in the skin. If you want convincing real world Turtles that can do more than grunt that is.

Ya they're puffy looking but again I think its just the briefness of it. Pausing it, like we all do too.

I still think the glasses are the issue not necessarily the lips. Theyre accentuating his eyes too much. Making his overall face look nerdy.

It'll look better in full swing and not these brief expressions.

The only thing that bothers me is Don's glasses. Like...really? Is he really gonna wear those things the whole time? Oh well.

But I saw someone mentioned that Don still has a tooth gap? I kept looking for it and didn't see it, though I admit that actually does leave me worried. If this movie borrows TOO much from Nick there might be a healthy dose of obnoxious AprilxDon shipping tainting all of Don's character throughout the whole thing. I really hope not.

Dude I couldn't agree more. I seriously wonder who the lead designer was on these. They're so busy, in fight scenes you're not going to be able to tell what's going on.

My biggest complaint is the size of them. If they're that big, how can they be ninjas? This is an overarching problem with comic movies now though. There's never a doubt the heroes will win. I can't find drama in knowing someone is never going to lose.

The best example of what I'm talking about is, the Foot beat the Hell out of Raph, Splinter gets captured. Ahhhhh, I guess I'm just hoping for something to change this movie, but it looks like they've fumbled at every turn.

[TigerClaw]

This scene with Raph, I wonder if its the same building he was at, when he smacked that Foot Soldier outside from the TV Spot?

Or it could be from the Subway?

anyone have any links to a 1080p version yet?

I doubt it because, We seen April spend some time with Raph in those behind the scenes pic

Looking at the screencap.... Raph looks like a green gorilla.

[Raph's Girl]

Donatello looks like a fish... Also, I swear I had that same pair of glasses in the 90's....the frame design colours look familiar.

It looks like you got nothing to worry about. It looks like the only thing from the Nick cartoon that this movie shares is that the Turtles have different heights and builds. That's pretty much it.

Ooooh ... Donnie....

[demonsweat]

Incoming screenshots (warning, big pics):

Spoiler:

No gap tooth, btw

New trailer and no ninjas, no martial arts. I don't even know why I'm letting myself get disappointed anymore. Still can't get over those faces and Don looks utterly ridiculous in all that gear. What ninja walks around loaded down with eighty pounds of junk? Typical Hollywood garbage, favoring overstylization over functionality. Case and point - that skateboard looks like it would be impossible to ollie. Good thing it has built in rocket power.

That shot of Shredder entering the lair (?) looks cool, though.

Does he really need acne? sryuously? isn't all the nerd gear enough, did you really need to jam that nerd stereotype in there? And how does he have acne, he doesen't have human skin, reptiles don't get acne...
I am done, this is pointless, not chance in hell this perversion of TMNT is gonna be good in any shape or form...

He doesn't have acne.... You're inventing things in your head now.

The CGI looks a lot better than some of the stuff in the most recent Hobbit film.
Those orcs looked and moved like they were in a computer game...

[NinjaPug]

Why didn't they just release this version originally? I'm so tired of the "it's just a mask" scene.

This trailer made me hate the look of the Turtles even more.

Holy hell. He just looks hideous, and the taped-up nerd glasses are such a dumb touch. LOOK, HE'S A NERD, HE'S A NERD YOU GUYS. Typical Platinum Dunes level of subtlety, I guess.

They all do, really. Yeesh.

Consider me still very unimpressed. A second viewing of Guardians of the Galaxy on August 8th it is.

[BlueKatanas]

Is it just me, or does it sound like Donnie is in the middle of shouting "Krang!"

?

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

I bet even his momma thinks he looks **** ugly.
