And sure enough, We see him do that in this trailer.

i just notice Bebop behind Rock on his trike.

And, man, he is super strong to smack all those cars around.
Luckily the turtle are already mini-hulks.

You really don't. You really, really, really don't.

Supporting anything with the brand name just means voting for more of the bad stuff. If they make money hand over first no matter what they do, they'll deliver garbage, as much and as quickly as they can, and cash in. But if they have to actually earn your dollars then they're forced to try harder.

The only vote we have is with our wallets.

Yep. Expectations are so low that I'm just not expecting an Oscar-winning motion picture about 4 anthropomorphic mutated teenage turtles that were trained ninjutsu by a rat. You are right about that...

What I am expecting is the most fun movie experience I'll have in 2016 considering I love these characters from the first film because of how well-written and distinct they were and they seem to be amping it up even further.

How can you get over the faults of the PD movie but not the Nick toon?

Lol, I said I'd see the movie, I never said I'd PAY for the movie. I've got my ways of watching without paying.

Trust me, Cubed, they didn't. Go watch it again if you need.

Sorry if I got too intense there. I've heard my share from folks who vow to financially support "their" franchise no matter what, and I have never, ever understood that.

Good call, though. If you have to watch the movie, then by all means, do so without contributing to its box office.

[Raph's Girl]

*watches the trailer* Whoa.. liking the look of Rocksteady and Bebop. Is that supposed to be Shredder?? Im sorry.. I know he's supposed to be Casey Jones but all I see is Oliver Queen in a hockey mask and...speed skates....

[METALHEAD]

comparing the two..jesus this makes me so happy. even those who hate this movie must admit this is a dream come true.

I'll be more than happy to not waste my $$$ on this either. Like Leo says, 100x0=0.

[TheCollector]

Y'know, I may seriously live to regret this, but the trailer actually makes it look good.

And with the first movie even the trailers made me realize how **** it was going to be.

But this trailer, like I said actually looks good. Then again, I'll probably live to regret looking forward to this one.

If I give you directions to your nearest local cliff, will you please take a flying leap? Every time people are talking nicely, people like you try and stir sh*t again. Knock it off. So far people are talking nicely. Stop trying to screw it up.

It's amazing how most people don't or won't get this.

"But if we don't see their movies they might stop making TMNT movies!" Well... good? If they're always going to be this bad, then fine! That's no loss.

This one will cross my eyes eventually but like last time, they're not getting my money. It may even end up on my TMNT shelf, but only after I find it used on DVD for about $3, in which case 100% of the profit will be going to the fine folks at FYE. I may even wait until they do the Buy 2 Used Get 1 Free gimmick, in which case, I won't have spent anything, period.

And just so it's not ALL negative, I do appreciate the attempt with Bebop and Rocksteady. The designs aren't so bad, although I think Bebop looks better. but the execution? UGH. Cartoons! They look like cartoons. But there was some effort there to keep them recognizable, which is nice. And I like that they're big and dangerous. The effects just look like garbage, which I knew they would.

Points for tryin'.

I love how this trailer is getting good reactions, even from those swearing off the movie. Y'all talk about watching it without paying, but all I hear is, "This movie looks irresistible."

[NinjaPug]

Thought this was an interesting bit from the USA Today article:

The next chapter finds Manhattan again in jeopardy, thanks to a mysterious über-baddie pulling nefarious strings from afar

Gotta be Krang

[Technogeek29]

Aww man the new Turtles game looks good.

...Wait it's not a game? Nah the CGI is to bad to not be a game.

Actually, Rocksteady is not wearing a tank top.
Bebop is fat and doesnt have the turtle shell shoulder pads.

Because the Nick toon is physically unwatchable now.

It's fine for kids, but there is that element of absolute betrayal considering the first 2 seasons (mainly Season 1) were legitimately some of the best written cartoons ever!

PD movie is in a much more respected medium, therefore it already has a much tougher job; writing wise.

Not to me buddy. I'm able to resist quite easily. I'm in no way the audience for this kinda thing. I'll see it one day, "because it's TMNT", same reason I force myself to watch Next Mutation once every couple years without actually wanting to.

Plus, I've done horrible things and penance must occasionally be paid.

So yes, I'll see the movie one day but it's far from irresistable. It's pretty much everything I hate seeing when things I love get turned into movies. That's super-easy to resist!

See, I like plot and characters more than CGI and bad jokes so these movies are like Kryptonite to me. The last one, in particular, was like someone literally tried to make a movie that I, personally, would find zero redeeming value in. Like some kind of bizarre "Truman Show" thing. It's like someone made it JUST so I'd have something I could hate that much. Mission Accomplished. This is just more of the same, really.

I was just tryna fit in with you cool cats...

At least I'm not completely oblivious to what I'm doing. Your hypocrisy can be seen through light years away.

The Nick series was nominated for a primetime Emmy. BayTurtles was nominated for five Razzies.

The movies may have a "tougher" writing job, but they are flat-on-their-face failing at it.
