Even with all these changes the Turtles still have those hideous nostrils/noses so I don't think I can ever enjoy the film. They still don't look like Turtles but like dinosaurs or Hulk's.

You sound like you'd date a Playboy bunny only to dump her because her toenail polish was chipped.

The fact that everyone is so stunned that there might be ninjas in a Ninja Turtles movie just proves how dire things have gotten. What should be a given is now a shocking piece of news. Should we really be impressed by this? It's like celebrating because a driver didn't careen off the side of a cliff. It's literally the bare minimum that's expected of them.

All power to them if they want to course correct, but this iteration is built on a foundation of sewage. I wish they'd cut their losses and do a proper reboot instead of clumsily trying to salvage it. Even if they manage to improve it tenfold it's still likely a far cry from good.

Now you're just being silly. Paper cut?

You should try accepting that other people may have different view than you. That's how the world works.

Why would people flock to a sequel to a movie they hated?

There's still nothing to say that these ninja couldn't end up being Foot Bots later on - I mean, didn't Transformers 2 have some sort of cyborg sexbot (sorry, "Decepticon Pretender") where they had a real actress and then added in CG later?

They could easily do the same with this ninja - use a real person for a chase scene and later on in a different scene, add in some CG stuff showing their true nature (for example, Raph bitchslaps one into a post and it explodes or falls apart into twitching, mechanical pieces). Seeing a ninja doesn't automatically mean we're getting ninjas - as Powder said, they could well end up on the cutting-room floor. Bay might watch a cut of the movie and decide he doesn't like the tone (again).

Earth To Echo, right? Why can't we get an already-established director who really cares about the material be the director for this film? Is that too much to ask? I'd rather have Michael Bay direct it over someone I've never heard of; that goes for the first film too.

You seriously need to let that go. It's not important.

Honestly, the look of the Turtlesin the first movie didn't bother me in the least. Apart from their size... they can look the same this time around and not bother me, as long as they were shrunken down a bit...oh and lose Leo's stupid bamboo armor.

Yeah, I've had about a year to come to terms with dem nostrils and all over designs and have largely hit the acceptance stage of grief.

At this point I wish one of the Turtles actors would sneeze in the middle of shooting a scene and just keep it in the film. If someone else ends up with hiccups that's a plus. Just include that stuff to make it more real. lol

Hey.... meanie. They're adding so many characters to this, the Turtles will need to wear bright reflective orange vests (like road construction workers or something) just so we can spot them.

Yep. It'll take a monumental goddamn overhaul to even get me to CONSIDER being positive about this thing.

Foot Ninjas looking like Foot Ninjas? About goddamn time. I'm not going to jerk them off because they did one thing right when it should have been done to begin with.

Megan Fox is still April, Stephen Amell is still a bland-looking Casey. And the Turtles will still look like this movie's Turtles.

Yeah, no. I saw it at home, for free. They didn't get a dime out of me.

Do we have a Michael Bay / Megan Fox echo?

One more who didn't pay to see the first one and won't give Platinum Dunes a red cent under any circumstances. I'm far from alone on that. I don't even plan to watch it for free. Once bitten...

FYE will get my money when I pick it up used. First and only thing of TMNT I've never dropped a cent on. Not even a figure or a poster. Just wasn't inclined.

I would have bought so much, just like for The Dark Knight, if this movie looked/was at all good.

Drowned myself in promo stuff. Pizza Hut pizza, Crush soda.

Saved so much money.
