Official TMNT 2 Trailer Discussion

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

The Abrams movies, on the other hand, are just big dumb action flicks. There is no heart or intellect to them. The movies are just big ships flying around shooting each other, explosions, planets cracking apart, and Alice Eve showing off her mammaries. The first movie could have been average, even though it portrays Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and the rest as only thinly written caricatures of the original characters. But the second can't even be bothered to write an original story, ripping off all of its dramatic and emotional beats from The Wrath of Khan.

It's simply candy for people who don't like to think and just want to watch a big dumb action movie. That's fine; I get some of you like that. But it's not Star Trek... or at least, it shouldn't be.

Sorry for the triple-posting, won't happen again.

Damn well put.

It's pretty obvious looking back that Abrams used "Star Trek Into Darkness" as his Star Wars audition reel. Fully-recreated ROTJ trench run and everything.

And yeah... I was entertained by those movies, but they weren't really Star Trek. I don't care about them like I do TNG, and the more I think about them the more I kind of dislike them. They did kind of convince me he's the right director to reintroduce Star Wars franchise, but it can definitely be argued he sacrificed Trek to do it. (Though, yeah, the action-oriented Star Trek trend began long before he took the reins... He just took it to the broadened, watered-down kind of place one could argue it was already headed.)

Ultimately I agree with you: Star Trek belongs on television.

Except for the likes of Star Wars, I'm hard-pressed to identify any other science fiction franchise that is better off on the big screen than on television. Battlestar Galactica can't be told in one 3-hr movie; Star Trek can't; Babylon 5 can't; Firefly can't; Doctor Who can't; the X-Files can't; Stargate started as a movie but only matured through television...

Sci-fi is for the long story... and honestly, I firmly believe that the best Star Wars has/had to offer were the Extended Universe novels--which, of course, just got written out of continuity.

I am wondering if they are going to use the ooze as a story plot to explain why shredder looks so much younger in this movie.

In the ids comic they use the ooze to explain why shredder is immortal and young

The trailer msut be very succesful and million of viewers has watch it as it is lag too much in 1080p and i had to wait lot of time in order to see it. I am sure it is not a pc problem as my pc is more than enough strong for 1080p 60 fps videos and gaming. Youtube servers must be too busy now with all the high traffic due to the new trailer!

Shredder, you look really cool in this trailer!

[Shark_Blade]

I absolutely LOVE everything about it!

And Donnie seems to ditch the heavy equipments.

I wanna make gifs of this trailer.

[Ceres]

As much i read about it, this movie will be a soft reboot of the first movie so they can change Shredder back to a younger version without any problems or in getting caught with a logic hole. A fresh and hopefully better try to make a halfway decent movie featuring the four Teenage Turds(and hopefully krang too, but seeing the portal in the sky gives me great great hopes for a return of good ole glibber brain ~)

The trailer really made me curious on the upcoming movie, i haven't seen the first one so i am not biased against Michael Bay's take on the Turtles, i will let myself surprise how this movie will play out

Bebop and Rocksteady look awesome and just like their 80`s counterparts which makes me incredibly happy. And that they recast Baxter as black dude is very nice too. Overall this will for sure bring some fun on the tables (the explosions not counted here lol)

[LeotheLateBloomer]

I'm reading alot of comments on different websites saying that the last movie sucked because it was too dark. Uh, what?! So all of a sudden people want a lighter Ninja Turtles movie? What is wrong with this fanbase? -_-

Honestly shredder coming into contact with the ooze would explain why he looks younger and different.

I wish they would do the same thing with the turtles themselves. Have shredder hit them with a "little" "Anti-Mutagen" not enough to make them regular turtles, but enough to make them smaller forcing them to rely more on their ninjutsu skills

IGN did a breakdown of the trailer.

Really cool breakdown, the video does contain a major spoiler to the plot of the movie.

Also the "Wheel" they were talking about in the air plane scene.

Spoiler:

The wheel is the apart of the landing gear from the plane, the plane probably crashed.

[samxsteal]

I love how Raphael is straight up ufc punching rocksteady in the head when he tackles him on the plan lol. I really love this trailer and can't wait woot woot

I love these IGN breakdowns

Spoiler:

So the turtles could be inside a airplane where they meet Rocksteady and Bebop and somehow the plane takes off they could be fighting each other in the air and the plane gets badly damaged and they all jump out of the airplane before it crashes and they fall into the river with Bebop and Rocksteady chasing after them inside there tank.



Oh man, I can't wait for this movie.

The same can be said for people who aren't hardcore TMNT fans.

Not in the slightest. It's the lighter tone that's got me excited!

Your point being?

Here's the youtube version of the IGN Rewind on TMNT 2 trailer.

Someone on Tumblr pointed out that Donnie has a heat lamp behind him.

its super brief, but in the same frame off to the right, Leo is getting suplexed (sp?) by Bebop.
