Pics of Splinter from the trailer, he looks so different.

Is Splinter floating in mid air?

It kinda looks like he's balancing on his tail.

Y'know, while I agree there is something fake about Bebop and Rocksteady, can we not take a moment to remember the movie is still like 6 months out? If I remember correctly the CGI on the turtles in the first one wasn't fully polished at this point either then.

Also, I wish people could be happy with what we have at this point in time regarding CGI quality.

I mean at least we're not still stuck with crap like this.

If this were the first offering from PD instead of the second, I really think the response would be much more critical.

Agreed. People are already used to Hulks in a Half Shell wearing clothes.

Hell, I'm used to Hulks in a Half Shell wearing clothes.

Dear god. What if that was their plan all along? For everything? Totally fumble the first movie knowing they'd cash in on nostalgia alone, and then skate by indefinitely on the lowered expectations.

I'm going to quote this when talking about the movie.

I think the fact that this one actually looks better kinda negates that theory. Sure it still may not be that good, but it looks better then the first.

Plus more CGI, skating by doesn't usually involve more CGI, lol. :3

That's precisely what I mean, though. If people have rock-bottom expectations then anything looks good by comparison.

(Though I'm talking the story/full package more than the CGI alone.)

Let's see how much the CGI improves before we make definitive statements there.

And honestly, this shot of Rocksteady here pretty much is Scorpion King-level. I know this isn't final render or anything, but he looks like a last-gen video game.

Oh and hey! Look at Arrow Jones, skating on by...

*pennydreadful* · 12-10-2015, 04:57 PM

Again, I keep hearing "it looks better than the last one" - that doesn't actually mean all that much. I think a lot of undeserved slack is being cut here based on the first one. If this were the first one, instead of the second, I think people would be judging this one based on its merits as a film instead of comparing it to another luke-warm entry in the franchise.

I mean, all of the complaints and concerns raised prior to the trailer drop are still quite valid, and no amount of Xtreme Rhino Lips or exploding cars is gonna change that.

It looks like Splinter is older, like in his 70s or something

*IndigoErth* · 12-10-2015, 05:19 PM

Mikey's face definitely seems rounder, at least when smiling, and looks a touch younger for it.

Also it looks like Raph finally got on the toothpick patch to kick the habit. lol Not sure how he never choked on it in the first film.

OrangeNinja1987 · 12-10-2015, 05:22 PM

I LOVED the trailer. Sure, some of the dialogue was weird, and the CGI looks pretty good (CGI doesn't usually bother me if it's not perfect). I loved all of the adorable brother moments, which is something I missed in the first movie even though I liked it.
The ending looks pretty Avengers-y, with a TMNT-style twist with Dimension X. I don't know how I feel about that. So many blockbusters have done the "aliens invade New York" finale lately, but the Utroms/Krang are a big part of TMNT that should show up in a movie. Here's me hoping for an intimidating, yet hilarious Krang.

Just an all-around fantastic trailer. Donnie and Leo are still my favorites, but I love how much they toned down Raph's muscles. Mikey's face looks way better, too!
Hopefully Megan Fox doesn't tear this movie down.

*snake* · 12-10-2015, 05:25 PM

The cgi really looks bad in this. Especially on Bebop and Rocksteady.

The transformers look way better.

*miru* · 12-10-2015, 05:27 PM

Ehhhh...

Trailer wasn't nearly as horrid as I expected, but it was clearly Michael Bay. 90% chance of skipping this one.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Verne shouldn't be in this movie? I mean, what contributions did he actually make for the first one? A few bad jokes and staring at Megan Fox's ass. The Turtles and the audience can do both of those respectively. Well, I guess Mikey can do both.

I guess Paramount got a little annoyed that it had leaked.

Nice that they still kept the TCRI and alien connection to it.

*THGhost* · 12-10-2015, 06:15 PM

Man, that logo whizzes past so fast. Almost like they didn't want us to notice it.

Did they? I only watched the last one once but I don't think Sachs had any connection to tcri and he created the turtles in this universe unless the eve got a retcon planned. For all we know that building might just be an Easter egg and have nothing to do with that hole opening in the sky.
