Idk if it's already posted, but Bebop and Rocksteady look so fake. The CG looks terrible. The flying ships do have me curious though. Wondering if it's something with the Utroms.

*Wildcat* · 12-10-2015, 12:03 AM

Barely realized it was released. It looks much better than I was thinking. Surprised they showed mutated Bebop and Rocksteady. They do look great.

The turtles look improved too. Faces don't seem as "ugly". They look nicer. I'm not talking cgi I mean they look better sculpted, especially Mikey. Clothes seem toned down too.

Glad they'll actually use the car. I like the sewer lid launcher. I hope the invaders are Krang. I'm pleasantly surprised with this so far.

Yep that is my main problem after watching the trailer!

I'm watching some reaction videos to the new trailer, Love seeing how the fans react to it.

They make something that you want, then you pay for it. If you want to steal the experience, that's your business, but don't try to make yourself sound like a hero.

agreed. his reasons and actions just piss me off. basically stealing, makes me wonder why people in this fandom even exist. hell, i support the first movie not because i am blind, but because i knew i would enjoy the film. i saw it twice, actually. and i am as gitty as ever for the second.

i really hope this guy gets caught one of these days,cause that just ain't right what he is doing and only encourages others to commit bad deeds. i'm sorry, but my god. what is wrong with people? you PAY for a movie. you dont want to pay and see it? get a friend to pay for you. or rent it on dvd. but dont sneak in movie theaters like a gat dang hoodlum.

I'm already anxiously looking forward to your running commentary on the drive to the theater, the wait in the snack line, your first sip of soda, and how absolutely amazing all of it is.

Thanks for keeping everyone up to date!

Mike's new face is MUCH better...
It's got a ton more camp...it's lighter, Fox managed to deliver a decent line.

B&R aren't the worst things ever... not great, but not knee jerk bad. Reminds me of IDW/ with a touch of Fred Wolf. Arnel WILL still suck.

It's not a 180 from the first one, but it's a solid 45...okay 30.
They still look like green monkeys, but definitely less ugly/less like the actors.

Actually it looks like there are 2 different Mike models in the trailer...one is definately better looking than the other...same with Leo.

This one feels like it has more Bay in it, for better or worse.
This proves Liebseman was the problem all along...

Not the movie I want, but I can see this doing better with little kids...very little kids...
Green got a lot of polish on this turd. Good for him. If you can work with that pile of garbage, and come out alive, dude deserves a commendation.

Gotta love the new subtitle - that's fun,

Can't get over how plastic the CG looks these days. Like the new mandate is to make things look as unrealistic as possible.

Baxter looks attrocious, just like I expected. chewing up the scenery

Feels like that shot of Rock galloping like MLP down the street was animated by Tex Avery. how bout some real world physics with your squash and stretch...

Paying for a good movie you've already seen and slipping into a different theatre works pretty well. That way you're buying a ticket, contributing to the box office of a movie that actually deserves it, and getting to hate-watch something you'd never directly spend money on.

*Slap-Happy* · 12-10-2015, 12:41 AM

This movie looks like it should be playing at a god damn theme park with all of those IN YOUR FACE 3D effects.

Also, Raph looks he's a Final Fantasy character or something. Terrible.

That's a lotta work, man, don't make me do stuff!

In like 6 months I can watch it on Starz for free if I feel like, or my wife feels I "owe" her a movie of her choosing, who gives a rat's ass? I ain't leavin' the house for this nonsense.

I've done that more than I should admit. Not gonna bother for this. I'm not 6.

I actually try not to eat or drink anything while at the theater, I would always have that feeling to go to the bathroom.

*Vicky82* · 12-10-2015, 12:42 AM

Looks like Paramount gave in and official released the trailer.

The bar's supposed to be higher, and it's frustrating to see this franchise's potential completely wasted while fans throw their money at it just because they think it's better than nothing. I think the property and the fans deserve better, but if most fans don't seem to agree, then I guess I'm just out of step.

its a shame really. The comic and even the cartoon are doing such a good job of bridging the gap and reaching fans across the board why is it so hard for this movie series.

It's mind bending. There's more subtlety in a Nickelodeon cartoon, than a live action movie.

Well, that works too.

That's likely because the cartoon's writers have a genuine love and appreciation for the full history of the franchise. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but the writers/producers there clearly care about the property and know their stuff. Platinum Dunes, on the other hand, only cares about monetizing the brand.

I know that you like to write what others are thinking, but isnt it kinda rude? You were saying to another guy to stop since everybody was talking nicely for once, in another post.

( don't get me wrong, your posts are always interesting)

~~Leo656~~ · 12-10-2015, 01:06 AM

It's just a little thing I have with TigerClaw. His unbridled hyper-enthusiasm for the most mundane of things just tickles me greatly.

It's not bad, just amusing.

I think you're right bry. Now that I think about it I've read interviews from both the the idw and nick teams where they talk about thier love for the franchise and its history. These guys are fans of what they're working on and what they put out shows it. Meanwhile the director of the last movie didnt even understand the importance of the feud between hamato Yoshi and oroku saki.so much so neither of those characters were even in the movie or apart of the story. gives you a good idea of who cares and who doesn't

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 12-10-2015, 01:39 AM

Well it certainly looks better than the last one. I like how they changed the turtles a bit. Honestly, I don't think they look that bad. My issue though is that they seem to have lost some textures from the last movie and they look a bit too colorful, like the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks in terms of lighting. Shredder and Karai look better than last time. Baxter could have been better, though. It's still too hard to picture Armell as Casey. He just doesn't look like he can play the part right. Rocksteady and Bebop, eh.....they're just there to me.

I'm glad that it looks like they finally have a set tone, even though it's not the tone I wanted. It gives me TMNT 2: Soto flashbacks and not in a good way.

Decent trailer, looks like it could (won't count on it) end up being better than the last film but it doesn't look like a movie for me.

Did anyone notice that Donatello has a SNES controller wrapped around his right arm?
