I'm liking the look. Donnie looked stupid of course, but that's because he was yelling? I still don't like the lips.

I guess Mike's going to put on his bandanna a lot of times in this movie?

Are you arguing with yourself now? Kidding, kidding...

Don does look a little pockmarked on his right cheek, but I can't get a sceencap good enough to say for sure. Doesn't really matter, it is a minor nitpick and doesn't take away from the fact that they felt they had to visually nerd him up. I dunno. I see the taped glasses, the overabundance in gear... and I think, "this is what non-nerds think nerds look like." Stereotypes are laaame. It's why I can't get behind stuff like the Big Bang Theory; too many obvious, redundant jokes.

LOVE BIG BANG. But i get what your saying I agree the has alot going on i think the glasses in the right context will see normal IMO, as for the rest of his face it like people freaking out about mikey face at first and yet with this new shot i looks amazing and pretty normal. same will likely happen with Donnie.

Im pretty sure Leos are Green, mikeys blue, Donnies are brown And raphs are unknown

*Redeemer* · 04-30-2014, 11:21 PM

Hey did anyone else notice at the 1:00 mark one of the turtles has non of the gear on, looked more traditional TMNT style. It looks like Dons head band, but holding Raph Sai and has Leo's scabard on the back......

Has me puzzled. This trailer is the best yet.

But the face designs are still killing it for me. It looks like Shrek's kids finally grew up and were adopted by a rat teaching them Ninjitsu

Still can't get over my friend's question....

"Why is Johnny 5 behind Donatello?"

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.

really, why???
I thought it was the best trailer, just those damn faces.... also I agree with everyone else the market will be saturated the closer the movie gets.

Because JOHNNY FIVE IS ALIVE

Every time I see more of The Shredder walking or moving in that armor I like it more and more. I can at least say that I'm really excited to see him in action! (I'm not hating on every other character either. I'm just excited to see this different armored Shredder fight.)

Raphtastic · 05-01-2014, 12:26 AM

Well, I like *this* trailer better than the other one...but I can see it's going to be something where you pretty much leave your brain at home and have to adjust to or ignore the new design. Unveiling Donnie's face this way was an...interesting choice. I just, um, kind of can't help but instinctively hate it. Mikey looks better in the new shots and Leo is by far the best design. If they all looked more like Leo, I'd feel better about everything. Raph actually looks better than Don to me right now, which is a surprise. I still don't feel like I've seen enough of either to know how they'll really look in context, if that makes sense. Don's expression is just so weird in that little glimpse! It isn't the kind of facial expression that is really appealing on anybody or that would establish a good baseline for what anyone's face would look like normally. If he's making open mouthed, pursed lip faces a lot throughout the film (like a habitual, idiosyncratic thing), he's terrifying. The animation on the faces is obviously highly detailed and well done, but it'd be nice to get some friendly and fierce close ups on Raph and Don. And more shots of all of them speaking, laughing, smiling, sneering at opponents. 'Cause so far, I can appreciate the craftsmanship, but just can't help but feel aversion toward the design.

I know I'm hung up on faces, but it's how I relate to characters. I still don't have much of a real sense of the story and why we're supposed to care that the turtles or April are in jeopardy aside from "they look cool" and "lookit the badass fighting and parts of buildings exploding/toppling/whatever". It seems very much like it's a take our word for it, they're heroes and you are just supposed to care about the good guys kinda thing. I hope there's more humor and heart to it than we see here, but I'm not going to bet on that. We'll see soon enough! The action and effects will be pretty, at least.

Chris_a_Bunga · 05-01-2014, 12:39 AM

(Can't believe I am going to defend some things about this)

It's really funny all the hating thing goes in for this, and while I would have made more appealing visual choices and different scale issues and I wasn't on board with the casting/changes, all the negativity just makes me want to see it more. Maybe Donnie just can't see that good and there will be reasoning behind things he has, and I don't see the tape as much a nerdy thing as a fact this his head is too big for them. Hell, I know a lot of people with glasses and if they broke and they didn't want to go buy new ones or taped them together for any reason I'd think its punk as shiz.

I mean I def think they dropped the ball on this, don't get me wrong. And maybe their plan is working and I am warming up to it, but it really doesn't seem that bad. Plus I honestly think that new shot of Raph is pretty sweet looking. It doesn't look like the movie that I thought we'd get, and maybe that's a good thing because it will be something new and different. If I get this check list complete while seeing it I think I will be fine with the movie :

*Makes me laugh
*Makes me want to go skateboarding after
*Makes me want to eat pizza during and after
*Splinter is wise and does some ninja master work on some fools
*Shredder does some actual fighting
*There are scenes where I giggle a bit and think ("okay, that was pretty bad ass)
*There is actually "Ninja-Esq" things happening
**Wishful thinking that would automatically earn more respect from me- A live action mouser, even if it is a post credit scene or a set up to the next I WANT IT!

Either way I am going to see the movie, if it is terrible, oh well I still got the awesome old and ongoing comics, original toons and movies, and the Nick show.... My childhood and Adult hood are fine and are gonna be in August ..

raph does look BA

Ramboraph4life aka Matt · 05-01-2014, 12:48 AM

So, let me get this straight. Donatello is this Genius Scientist...obviously made his Proton Pack of goodies himself...and yet the best way he can think of fixing his glasses is just tape? Isn't that, I don't know, kind of stupid? This is the same character that can create a computer from spare parts in a junk yard, but the best way he can fix his glasses is just with tape?
