Plus if they're only breathing by mouth, TMNT 2 Raphael would've died within 5 minutes after being captured.

Nope, he's right. They've always had nostrils. Cubed has spent years subjecting himself to unimaginable torture without even realizing it.

How hard is it to fathom, "They've always been there, you just couldn't see them"? Fairly obvious they were just never drawn, the same way some artists skimp on nose or eye details.

That's CC for ya. Riding a horse into the ground and beating it into a sludgy, frothy paste.

And did you not see this on the first page?



Here's some more examples:

Seriously, the turtles have been mutated into humanoid form. Humans have nostrils so even if turtles didn't already have nostrils, they would have them after being mutated. Seems like a very small nitpick if you ask me. You won't even notice them once they start kicking some shell. And of all the things that are wrong with this movie, why focus on nostrils?

Don't bother lol.. I've posted so many pictures of turtles just to get shot back down with a million desperate reasons as to why these turtles shouldn't have them. Even the 300 VFX artists had no idea what they were doing.. if only they came here first.

I also find it absolutely hilarious that just bc a few Critics have some bad things to say about this movie.. some are acting like it's going to be a total failure
Everyone knew what the story was gonna be with the critics. This movie will make plenty of money.. and it will have a sequel... and then before ya know well all be back here singing Kumbayah to each other gearing up for round two! So... cheer up buttercups

I still dislike the look of the Turtles in the movie. I've liked their designs in every previously incarnation until now.

only design im not to crazy about is Raphaels, the other turtles look fine to me.

[SwiftNinjaFox]

I felt like they notably changed Mikey after negative reaction to the "just a mask" and the final product looks a lot like I initially was hoping to see. Less emphasized nose (widened them a bit) and smoothed the color contrast on the lips. I can handle the faces. Still not crazy about their clothing design overall, but that can change from film to film, really.

I still don't like the plastron and lack of the side bridge, though.

All that said, however, I agree with you. Raphael looked most traditional in early glimpses, but he turned out my least favorite because of his size, face design, and I don't like the full head cover.

[M-Frame]

I love how everyone clowns the genuinely clever Michelangelo mask gag and dies laughing at every Marvel movie one-liner when you can see 90% of them coming from a mile away. I enjoyed the Avengers but you have to admit it was a little overrated. Am I the only one who'd like to see a little more Tony Stark/Iron Man and a lot less RDJ "Vince Vaughn-ing" his way through all these movies??? Dude doesn't even bother acting anymore. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't watch superhero/comic book movies looking for improv comedy. Marvel studios has gone waaaaay too far with that ****.

...But I digress. Of course this movie is exceeding fans' expectations, genius!!! That shouldn't surprise anyone when you consider how badly brain-dead half-wit fanboys were bashing the movie Before It Even Began Production!! A lot of these butt-hurt clowns were so-called "purists" and "die-hard tmnt fans" whose knowledge of the franchise began/ended with the OT, toys, and the original movie trilogy!! I say ignore the haters, know-it-alls, and overly nostalgiac hipster douchebags riding the "Michael Bay's involved, so it sucks" bandwagon!! Lighten up and give the movie a chance! Be reasonable, everybody. Judging by the reviews, it won't be the second coming, nor will it be the Holocaust. Worst case scenario, it'll be like the previous movies, except a lot edgier in terms of action and comedy. Sure, that ain't exactly what I wanted, but we've seen worse and I'll take it for what it is.

They haven't changed a thing nor would they. Its only lighting and expressions that change. I think some people are starting to just get used to the new looks and are finally admitting it. Bottom line is the turtles personalities are there.

I agree that Marvel is starting to get a bit formulaic and some of the bantering is even starting to get old because most of it doesn't seem to lend much to the story.

A lot of people were too caught off guard by the new looks and Michael Bays name to even notice how clever the mask gag was and how it totally fit Mikeys personality. Wah these aren't my turtles. No **** its a new rendition and probably not made for you then.

I agree about everything you said about the haters and nostalgic purists.

*nod*

And figuring a lot of the first glimpses we had of them were either very quick/limited, distant, or contrasted by hard shadows, it's made a world of difference the amount we have seen at this point compared to then.

Some shots still... eh.. but in plenty enough of other views though, yeah I feel a lot better about them now than I did before we got all this other footage and they gave us better reason and ability to find the love for this version.

Yeah it doesn't seem like a good idea to force your significant other to watch a movie neither of you really want to see. I'm guessing both of you are going to have the same problems with it.

I'm willing to bet CUBED knows exactly what's he's doing, and truth is, people respond, so he'll keep doing it, because people always respond.

Couldn't agree with you more! Especially about Marvel Studios.

Not many Marvel films (like Iron Man, Captain America, Avengers) have fart jokes (which this new flick apparently has Mikey farting), which someone had to (unfortunately) tell me...so I give Marvel the pass over this new Turtles crap...

Hey bro...been a while, watching any of the latest footage, whatcha thinking about the fights?

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

Didn't watch any of the footage...like someone said, I should stay out the new film forum if I'm not even going to watch the new film anyway. I just wanted to step in since a close friend had to tell me that (which is, ugh)...plus he had had to tell me that Raph doesn't do martial arts but just 'Hulk-stuff' and that he's pretty much a pussy (gets his ass handed to him by the Shredder) with no bad-ass scenes to call his own except stuff like 'raph killing the humvee' scene...

So...great....good luck with that, folks. Can't help if I'd like Raphael as a bad-ass martial artist and not a 'Hulk' wannabe. Oh well, again good luck with that folks. I mean, hey he's only called a NINJA turtle and did martial arts in every other film/cartoon/comic...and I trust my friend when they tell me this kind of stuff..

Funny enough, for all the action they've shown, I'm still waiting on the Raid style fights we were promised by Eastman...then again, the showdown with Shredder at the end is shaping up to be something else. Hopefully it'll surprise us both, but either way, there's always a sequel, lol

[Sumac]

Such a flamebait from some people here, it's not even funny. Or rather it is funny, seeing how those people were registered on the forum just yet. While I don't believe in conspiracies (human stupidity is the reason for many odd things) certain events around this movie suggest that it maybe not...so simple here.

If there is someone behind this, I guess, they threw all their resources to bash people who dislike movie. I doubt it will improve situation, because if movie is **** - it will stay **** and no amount of plants would be able to salvage it.

But I guess, their target maybe not even sway the opinion of people, but to present everyone who dislike movie as "braindead half-wit fanboys" to descredit them and make general audience think that another Bay-o-rama will worth spent money. At least until word of mouth will kill it, if it is really bad movie.
