Your opinion on Megan Fox being cast as April?

So as the title says how do you all feel about Megan being April?

From what I've seen on other Websites it has caused a lot of controversy.

At this point I honestly have no real opinion on her yet. Though I do have to question, WHY exactly she got picked for the role....?

I have nothing against her but she just doesn't really scream "April O' Neil" to me for some reason.....

Is it just me?

She got picked because of Michael Bay tbh.

I wish all the best to her.

She was cast a year ago, so there's already been a lot of discussion in this and other threads.

Totally miscast, she looks nothing like how April should.

Also I just don't think Megan Fox is that attractive anymore, she's not really the sex symbol she was a couple years ago.

........except maybe the 80's.

As in previous thread, I'm not glad that Megan Fox is cast as April. I find her acting abilities extremely lacking in what I've seen her in, but I could be pleasantly surprised.

Seriously, how many people half joked that having Michael Bay even attached to a Turtles movie would mean Megan "Don't mind me, I'm just hear to run in slo-mo and lean sexily over motorcycles" Fox was a shoe-in to play April.

I'm not sure if I should go ahead and see this opening day to see how much of a train wreck it'll be, or say, "Screw it, mine would just be one more ticket to help green light a sequel to this garbage!"

Honestly, at first it Pissed me off, but now after thinking about it, I can't say I'm surprised. It's Michael Bay After all.

May I ask how "should" April look? Seeing how there have been so many different incarnations of her.

She wasnt my first choice, but I don't think that she is a terrible choice. Ive seen worse acting, so basically I dont really mind her as April.

Megan Fox as April doesn't bother me at all, I think people are taking this too personal.

I don't really have one. I thought Fox was good in the last 2 movies I saw with her in them (This is 40, Friends with Benefits). I'll judge her performance as April after I see it.

Not a fan, but considering all I've read about the movie so far, she doesn't seem like the worst part of it at this point.

Trying to be positive. The character should be a woman. Fox has a teeny thing about her. Judith Hoag was pretty young when she played the character but still

The pictures I've seen of her haven't over sexualities her, so I'm fine with it.

Shrugs* I'm indifferent to her over all. Not a fan but I like to give people a chance when it comes to different forms of media.
