Did the new trailer change your mind?

Really isn't far off today's cartoon. They can dispatch Foot with one blow, too.

We already had a grounded TMNT. Let's have a crazy one. #TeamTechnodrome

yes~ I'm all for impossible action logic! as long as it looks cool XDDD
and Donnie deflecting bullets looks cool!

if you wanted something realistic then watching a movie about ninja turtles....or any superhero movie isn't the best place to look XD

Bingo Bango. This is something completely new for a movie iteration of the Turtles. Huge and insane.

Why stay stuck in a box forever doing the same things over and over and over and over? Changing it up might work and it might not! Why not try though?

This trailer is amazing. There's some awesome footage, and I'm even more hyped for this film. I didn't like the music choice towards the end. I liked the music the trailer started with. All in all, an amazing trailer. Kudos to the people behind this project. Hurry up August 8th.

[Tora]

I am more pumped than ever to see this thanks to this trailer.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I'm still not completely convinced, but after that trailer I am definitely more optimistic.

Right now my only complaint is that Shredder seems a little much. All of the knives coming out of him? I would prefer the old armor which was simpler in comparison.

The turtles look better than I expected previously.

i think there will definitely be a more traditional shredder look as well

[D Piddy 1982]

I thought the new trailer was epic, and I've been a staunch supporter of this movie since day one, however there were a few moments in the trailer that I thought were pretty bad and/or made me cringe.

First up when Leo says "Back off Raph". Cringe alert.

Second when Megan says the "They're Turtles" and then "They're Ninjas" lines. Awful.

Thirdly. The Dubstep really didn't fit with the rest of the trailer. Again pretty poor selection. As much as I "enjoy" Bangarang I hope there isn't any dubstep in this film.

A final thought, and this may have been mentioned already but I haven't had a chance (or the time) to scan over the forums for this. The alleged Oroku Saki character we see - is it me or does it look like he is dead or mummified? I believe Sachs is talking to a dead guy in a sarcophagus...just by the way Sachs is speaking to him I get the impression he is dead. Maybe Sachs is trying to resurrect Oroku Saki? Just a thought/theory...

Other then those 3 points above, I can't wait. Still gutted...GUTTED...we have to wait until October in the UK. Absolute joke!!

[Refractive Reflections]

Slightly both for the good and bad, after viewing the second trailer, the voice acting for the Turtles was sooo bad. They made the Turtles so hard to have "supa fly" slang ("Let's Rock and Roll", "That's what I'm talkin' about!"), and I cracked up hearing Leo's "back off Raph!" line. That's was supposed to be threatening? And Don's bo deflecting bullets now? ROFL

On the positive side, I'm actually somewhat interested in seeing the Channel 6 news crew way more than the Turtles or Shredder.

...But otherwise it didn't change my opinion too much for the film. Seems like it will have the flashy, "bad ass" aesthetics that will overshadow whatever minimal character depth or plot the movie will have (analogous to a fast food meal having minimal nutritional content but loads of superficial taste); like a Bay-associated film would have and moviegoers apparently enjoy (according to the revenues).

Since we're talking crazy and outlandish action scenes (Don's bo deflecting bullets), maybe 2014 Mikey will pass gas and light it up to destroy whatever the Foot Clan are doing? Or maybe the prongs of Raph's sais can launch out like rockets and cause destruction? Besides, why is Don even wasting his time with a bo? Pssh, throw away that archaic piece of weaponry and grab a machine/laser gun!

[Warboss74]

The trailer hssn't changed my mind, and has made me more upset about the film. The Shredder is laughably ridiculous especially in the scene with the blades popping out is supposed to be the badass money shot. The action isn't impressive at all. It's just so disappointing that this is how they went about doing a big budget TMNT film.

[ObiWanFan4life]

Well, yes and no, but mostly yes. While this trailer hasn't completely sold me on the movie, it has given me the possibility that I won't HATE it. I like that moment at the end where April says "No, they're not Aliens, that would be stupid". It's brief, but it gives the impression that the movie has a sense of self awareness. Also, that moment where William Fichtner is talking to that guy in the shadows has me sort of intrigued.

[madyankees]

I'm even more hyped. I actually think they might be funny in a good way

[Candy Kappa]

The trailer was the best we've seen to now, but no. It did not change my mind, it still looks bad, the Character Models look terrible, not a fan of Megan's acting, not liking Leo and Splinter's voice.

But, the Trailer did make want to watch it on Netflix as soon as it hits the place, rather then catching it whenever I remember it.

[CyberCubed]

The trailer made the movie seem like its for dudebro's and hipsters. I can't see any kids liking the movie and us hardcore fans will be turned off.

But I'm sure the casual dudebro's will like it, they're the same people who buy Call of Duty every year after all.

[terrorblade]

You're insulting more than half of the people here.

[Garfield]

Yes it did.

All of my previous gripes still stand, but the trailer is fun and the Turtles mesh well in the kinds of things they are doing. the jokes were funny to. I willing to put my issues with the designs to the side and see it, It got me interested.

[IndigoErth]

At this point I think we could potentially agree that to some degree, at some angle, most are a "hater"...

I liked Leo's "Back off, Raph," and staunch supporters cringe? Haters.. Just pulling chains a bit of course, but still...

I've never assumed this movie will be terrible, my only issue the entire time has been the looks of them.... Trailer makes it looks fun, ok, though I'm cautious about it since a well made trailer is supposed to appeal enough to make you want to see a movie. Now and then the trailer ends up being better than the thing itself, so.. Not sure that would be the case here, but we shall see. I just think acting like a 14 year old who just hugged Justine Beiber is a bit premature. (As is I guess, fairly speaking, acting like a 40 year old who just assumes a Beiber song will be crap... Although... lol)

The "Back off, Raph" is just a little too gravely for Leo. But then when he's speaking later on it sounds exactly like how I'd imagine Leo would sound. But it also sounds like it could almost be a different voice. So, I dunno, I'm kinda not sure what to think at this point. I'd have to hear more from the performance to see how his voice fluctuates.

that line, BACK OFF RAPH!, sounded so different from LEO's others lines, that it made me question whether or not it was actually Leo who said it.

Same here! It made me think maybe they are still tweaking the voice or something. I definitely don't think he says it when we hear it in the trailer. "Let's rock and roll" sounds so different, too.

I actually agree with you. The best kind of franchise film is for the fans AND for, as you would call them, "casuals". That's what's making the Marvel films so profitable - the guys behind them are comic book fans who also know how to make good movies.

The people behind this film are the exact opposite. They don't care about the franchise, want a quick paycheck, and are inherently terrible at making quality films.
