say what you will but the human cast is clearly where they felt needed the most cast, and the turtles and splinter being second fiddle, they are pretty much nobodies..woodburn i know as the guy from Bones twice and the little dude in a dane cook movie

I actually like the fact they cast relativelly new actors for the Turtles...if they cast famed actors with extensive backgrounds, it might overshadow what they are meant to do, which is be vehicle for the characters to come to life. Case in point, Ben Affleck...everyone is so fixated on him, that I guarantee it will ruin the BVS movie for those who cannot see past the casting, and only the actor. Shoot, because Fox is as well known (for better or worse) as she is, people can barely see past her, and see April O'Neil. I'm glad they made the casting choices they did for the Turtles, and am looking forward to seeing them on screen ALOT. Will the humans be featured, of course - but people are panicking WAY too much.

I would say more, but it would just be the same back and forth about the Transformers vs Sam Witwicky screen time, that has been said over and over again.

If the turtles aren't too expensive to use in cgi form there should be no excuse as to why their on screen presence isn't much. But if they are too expensive to have in the movie for a acceptable amount of time then I will let it slide. And if they can't be in it for an acceptable amount of time because of the money, I will be not only disappointed, but understanding as well. I was forgiving when the same thing happened with the Transformers.

Sorry, but I wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. To me, there is no excuse. If that's the excuse they want to pull, then either A: put more money into it or B: Don't Use CGI.

If you can make the films back in 1990/1991 and have much of the running time in those movies be with Turtles, then there IS no excuse. Don't Use CGI then.

I think that with 24 years after the fact, then you can do More with animatronics and suits. Even if it was the "all was real except the face" and then just cgi the face movements, then that would help with the 'budget'.

Transformers you can NOT do practical. The Turtles? You can and they DID. 24 years ago. Just do the practical suits with the technology of today. And if you need to use CGI for the faces, then go for it.

And please, I don't understand this "they can move more in CGI." They just need to move like a martial artist can (which they did back in the day). They don't need to move like Super Heroes and stuff.

and to those that say they can't. Where the Wild Things Are did it...and originally that was also the plan for the Turtles
