It looks like utter garbage, just like the first one.

Bebop and Rocksteady sort of look OK I guess, but that's not nearly enough to tip the scales for me.

Whilst it's not going to be what I would personally like from a TMNT movie I'm optimistic it will be better than the last.

At least this one hasn't (to our knowledge) had the massive re-write/re-shoot problems that plagued the first film when the decided to split Sachs/Shredder into 2 characters. Didn't I read on here that they shot 2-3 versions of the movie? No wonder they didn't have the budget for mire Turtle screen time if they've effective shot 2 or even 3 versions of the movie! This alone should (hopefully) make it more cohesive.

At least after BvS there's no way this can be the worst comic based movie of the year!

I must admit in all the many things that bug me about this movie series this has risen to the top of my list which is strange given how they've butchered what I feel to be more important aspects. I think it has to do with the fact that while I hold firm on the belief the TMNT mythology as-is can make for a great movie there are aspects of it I know sound a strange to people that I can see why some Hollywood producers may may dismiss it out of hand. Casey Jones however is a pretty simple character to get right and they've not even tried.

Not to mention it shows they really haven't learned their lessons with the previous movie. If they wanted an origin for Casey they have one but they needlessly came up with their own just like with all the characters last time. The fact that he's connected to the turtles via an early event in the movie keeping to the idea that everything has to be connected. Even the fact that it seems to have been based on the Blue Door security guard version.
No, it was a photo of him in the car with the costume and gear. It's on the official website as a screenshot too.

I'm very excited about the film. It looks fun, and I can't wait to take my sons to see this.

I'm having trouble understanding how somebody who works as a security guard (and mind you, I have nothing against the profession), can afford that car. Especially seeing as he is leaving that life behind to become a vigilante, which pays nothing.

He's a corrections officer. Pays about 10K more a year than a security guard. Still couldn't afford that car though

I have a friend who is a security officer and he just bought a Fiat 500 and a motorcycle they can make more then enough to buy a nice car.

Edit
Anyone think it might actually be a "company" car meaning one assigned to him by the force?

I'm a guy who can enjoy TMNT in pretty much all mediums ranging from the comics, the TV shows, We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, all the way to the Coming Out of Our Shells Tour. But the last movie? I did not enjoy.

That being said, I'm optimistic about the more focused direction the sequel seems to have.

Especially if they are smart with money. For example, if you don't get suckered into pointless debt, like relying too much on credit cards, spending hundreds of dollars at bars at any given time or constantly wasting money on black holes like cigarettes or drugs, you'd be surprised how fast you can save money.

I guess. I googled the salaries so it could be wrong. Either way, seems like Casey Jones is doing alright for himself as a corrections officer. Especially, living in NYC where even a studio apartment can run you at least 2k a month. Might as well give that up and become a vigilante. Lol

I think it will be very enjoyable movie, among the better of tmnt movies. Definetly think it will outclass its predecessor in almost every, if not in all aspects.

I've barely participated in any talks about this movie here, and I've read nothing about the movie. I am going only off the trailers I've seen. I am excited because I love TMNT. I'll reserve my judgement until after I see the movie.

It looks slightly better than the first one. But that's like saying gonorrhea is better than AIDS.

it will be better than the 2014 film, but weaker than Nick TMNT season 4

I'm scared because I'm cautiously optimistic based what's shown, but we all know not to trust Michael Bay productions.

Then again, nothing in the trailers for the first TMNT and Transformers resembled good, so maybe they'll surprise us?

Total "MEH" about this one. Insanely excited prior to the first ones release, but nah, they've killed it. Big bouncey CGI.

Plus they shot themselves in the foot whilst aiming for the sky in the first film by making the TMNT indestructible hulks.

The Turtles are supposed to beat their enemies by teamwork and stealth. Now they just smash everything in sight.

Because of this I'm expecting the first film but the Turtles having to face even bigger obstacles to try and make up for the sh*tty "Bayturtles" beefcake design. They have to come up against something they "can't beat".

PD TMNT #1: "snow-truck" replaced by bigger, better "tank-river"
PD TMNT #1: "robo-shredder rooftop fight", replaced by bigger, better "Krang-roof".

If they hadn't made the Turtles so big in the first place then they wouldn't have these "find an enemy or situation bigger than the Turtles" problems to overcome.

Do you guys think it will be too cheesy/over-the-top compared to TMNT 2:Soto or TMNT 3?

Yes, probably worse considering the cartoonish feel, ridiculous concepts introduced and most likely incoherent story.

Those other movies no matter how cheesy they were had a pretty solid script. I very much doubt this one does.

So far, I think that this looks WAY better than the first one.
