i almost wonder if that is the "15 years ago scene" as we "Meet" the turtles and splinter

Hmmm, interesting new shots.

I don't think my opinion has changed, I am still highly disappointed with the look of the turtles. The aesthetic to me is everything, but I am open to the "energy" of the movie. It seems to be hitting those well-worn action movie notes so I'm not hopeful but I do try to appreciate they are even giving this franchise another go.

I just still can't decide whether to support the movie or not by going to the theater.

As for the look, I think I get that they are going for a realistic thing, although I personally don't like it. Giant turtles are cool looking enough, I don't need all this stuff. Makes them look like the junk lady from Labyrinth, lol.

I agree with what someone said earlier, Don's glasses are probably just adjusted from a regular pair to something what would fit him. They could easily be necessary or just magnification for working on small parts. I'm curious to see if he really wears them the entire time.

The story structure is really odd looking so far. Will it really be more of a generic destruction movie?

I would like to see additions to the turtle look but lighter like these:

Agree i hope it does great.

Whens the next trailer? anyone?



Exactly. I think Donatello probably has so much going on that he can't be bothered with fixing his glasses so he just tapes them together.

I think it was great seeing more in the new trailer

This exactly really i dont think its a big issue.

hahaha im betting it the shot with donnie screaming for splinter or something else.

I'm glad Donny doesn't have the Nick tooth influence. i think he can do without the nerd glasses; he already has enough gear on him as it is. Shredder looked huge. Probably some mech type armor. That shot of Raph looked sick. He's got all their weapons. Saving his bros I assume. Hopefully we get even more footage than this next time. The close up shots looked good. The CG stuck out at times, but the footage got me a little more hooked than before.

I think it was a great second Or extend trailer, Not to much not to little just enough to get the buzz going.

I hope so this would be a gret time to Quell Fans outrage 'OMG DONNIES MOUTH LOOK STUPID" cuz his mouth happens to be open but any way. Getting character poster similar to the shot of mikey would rock and make people realize donnie wont look like that the whole time.

The only thing that disturbs me are Dons Nerd-glasses.
They look like the ones of my grandmother......honestly they are exact the same.....

I think this movie will be very entertaining

Overall, I liked the new shots, but I just wish they'd given us a NEW trailer, instead of just adding a few seconds to the first one to make it longer. More of Raph's and Donnie's voices was nice, though. At least, it seemed like there was more, since they were easier to hear.

Im sure they are just making him vision impaired lol and i like your idea lol.

Mikey look great i still love leo I think the look he has in the new trailer is a little distorted because of angry or anguish

This would be amazing and BA

I agree with this. They actually seem to grow on you, when I watched the first trailer I was a little put off, but time passed and as I saw the still images of them, I got to like them (or just got used to them, not sure which) same thing with this new trailer. I was really saddened by Donatello, but just looking at the stills of him, I like it! Especially the glasses!

And as far as "cuteness" goes; I wished they had stayed focused on Michelangelo just a half second more, he looks like his about to smile

[SwiftNinjaFox]

To each their own, I guess. I was kind of thinking I could get myself to roll with the punches, but the new trailer just threw me back down to the bottom of the mountain of acceptance. The more new stuff I see, the more I'm reminded that I really think they don't look good.

"Like Sisyphus, I am bound to hell..."

[jezza]

I've warmed to Mikey and Leo. But the look of Raph and Donnie really isn't doing it for me.

For Donnie, it's the glasses, when I first saw a shot of him, I thought he might be wearing night vision goggles or something cool like that, but the nerd glasses with the patch tape for some reason makes me really angry, it's a horrible and unnecessary nerdy stereotype. I've always liked that Donnie is the clever one, but he's never been so scrawny as to look like he would be beaten down by a bully for his lunch money. I'm not going with this at all. Also, his lips and nose make Mikey's first appearance seem like a real non-issue.

As for Raph, it's the full bandanna, I'm just not going with it. There's also something I don't like about his face, but I just can't quite put my finger on it.

Oh, something else. That scream from Donnie:

Um didn't we see Raph rescue Leo and bring his swords to him in the last movie? Getting so sick of bloody Raph.

Well, technically it was the whole family that rescued Leo. Including Mikey, Donnie, April, Casey Jones, and Splinter having their moments while fighting the Foot (which unfortunately was what, maybe 1 Minute Long at Most?) So it wasn't just Raph by himself saving Leo, they all did. And Leo, Mikey, & Donnie saved Raph in both the first and second movie (from being put in a knocked up/put in a coma or tied up & gagged).

[jezza]

All film writers see Leo and Raph as the drama setters and Donnie and Mikey as the comedy relief. I have doubts that will ever change.

[Jester]

That's true, RamboRaph, but you have to admit that the movies, TMNT included are quite Raph centric. (Turtles 3 is probably the least Raph centric focusing quite a bit on Mikey actually though Raph and Yoshi do have their plot point, and SotO could be argued to be Donatello centric, but Raph has a major plot point with Keno and the Foot.)

But see, that's why I can't really call the second film Raph-centric. He has moments with Keno but that's pretty much it, the rest is all of the Turtles together doing stuff. And I can't call the third film Raph-centric for the reasons you stated (because you also had stuff like the 'Mikey & Mitsu' stuff plus it seemed they gave Donatello/Corey Feldman more dialogue in that flick than any of the other Turtles).

The first movie I can understand, and the CGI film I can also understand someone saying it's 'Raph-centric'. But I'd call TMNT more of a Raph & Leo movie, since Leonardo has quite a bit as well (for example, starting off with the family falling apart because Leonardo isn't there and his whole Ghost of the Jungle stuff).

And there are other avenues too, like the comic books and cartoons aren't Raph-centric...even the 2003 cartoon at one point was referred to as The Leonardo Show, and some would argue that the 2012 cartoon is more Leo & Donnie's show than Raph's & Mikey's...

But yeah if I had the choice I would love to see both Raph & Mikey at the forefront of a film with some buddy-buddy banter between them.

[Jester]

I'd just love a Turtle movie to feature them all equally...and this probably won't be it either.

Well, especially not now with Megan Fox and Will Arnett in there. And let's face it, we all know those two are going to get A LOT of screen time that could have been put into better use to feature all 4 of them equally.

As said above, you have the Rat King as well that could be a great story, Leatherhead, Triceratons, The Neutrinos.....even the Punk Frogs....mayyybe!

The Neutrinos aren't villains.
