I would love to see a dark, serious movie but I know that's not going to happen.

I expect it will have some serious moments in the movie to balance it out, like the Nick show.

It sounded like there was a serious moment when Donnie said "I don't know, it doesn't look good" It gave me chills. The tone in his voice was perfect.

I agree I think the tone of this trailer was nearly perfect it was light hearted but also action packed with hints of "darker" tones

It was dark in terms of lighting, not in tone.

Pretty much. The 3 quotes in my signature come to mind.

my concern at this point, while I enjoyed the trailer, especially the overall tone, does the lighter fare mean less intense fight scenes? Last time we were promised, by Eastman, RAID-LIKE fights, and got nothing like it (save for the Splinter v Shredder exchange).

Remember 'Secret of the Ooze'? Parents complained that the original was too violent, and as a result they toned down the actual fighting, and the boys didnt use their weapons.

If this film embraces its Fred Wolf predecessor, should we expect them to be throwing pizzas? I really hope not. I want to see complex hand-to-hand, and weapons-based sequences.

Im holding out that we didnt see any of that simply because, they only finished the mocap work for the fights several weeks ago, and things like that take time to polish. Hoping.

i say take the flight on the 3rd, and when you land, take a taxi-cab immediately to the movie theater. it'll be an epic-ally, exhausting, awesome story.

It doesn't even have to really be all that dark. I'm not looking for it to be a dc movie where everything's super somber all the time. I'm not asking for full mirage in tone but more like the 03 cartoon or the idw comics hell even the Nick toon. Something where there's some actual stakes and tension.ive got faith that we will get that again someday but it won't be for a long time as long as people are down to accept the superstrong bulletproof unstoppable turtles

I'm just going to wait till I see this before I judge trailer looks cool yes, but so did the first movie so just have to wait and see.

Baxter already was cast as a black dude in the last film, Kenneth Todd Freeman. They just cut out most of his scenes.

I wonder if Krang will speak English and talk like the 80s cartoon, or will it be the thing that the Nick series does, in which the Kraang only speak English when in a robot body suit?

Maybe Krang could speak in a way similar to how to the transformers learned English, through the web.

Drunkenness to ease the pain of tolerating this section over the coming months; gotta have a shot for every bingo square matched. (Underage members... just pretend I guess, youth can make up for it.)

I'll forever feel that the 1990 film had just the right amount of Mirage with a little bit of FW flavor, mostly just in the Turtles' personalities, excluding Raph of course. That movie, and to a lesser extent 2K3, epitomize the TMNT universe as I see it in my head.

Turns out they were both sh*tty aberrations that totally missed the point of this silly, goofy, cheeseball nonsense that is TMNT. Who knew? Wish someone had told me that at the time, before I went and got all emotionally invested in the franchise, hoping for more of that kinda stuff. Turns out I'M the asshole.

Given that it's live action, aliens aren't supposed to speak English so, he'll speak some alien language, when on a robot body you'll hear English.

Everyone's pretty entrenched in their views, and to see a new person (welcome to the forums btw) wade into the middle of this...it wont end well. fair warning.

How did you feel about TMNT14?

I know, but l was just thinking.

The biggest problem with the 2014 movie is that it was hacked together after that whole white shredder controversy. You can tell based on the editing and pacing that we didn't see the movie as it was originally intended. Now they have a clean slate- Im sure this one will be better

Dont let get you down leo. After thinking about it I've become pretty optimistic about the whole thing. These different interpretations of characters come and go. Like for anybody who thought Nolan's dark knight trilogy was too realistic there's a more comic booky version hitting the screen next year. I wasn't a fan of the amazing spiderman movies but now those are over and the Web head gets to join the mcu.maybe this isnt the movie we wanted but sooner or later they'll be another reboot and in the meantime there's the comic, the cartoon and who knows maybe that game they're working on won't suck.

I don't know about that. I do agree they probably should've just stuck to thier guns and kept Sachs as shredder because overall dropping in that unnamed Japanese dude who liked hanging out in the dark didn't add anything and just made the movie more convoluted that it already was. But I feel like that was the least of thier problems. It's like the movie was built from the ground up on wtf decisions.
