Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - Reboot is Back.. with Megan Fox. XD

Vanilla Ice was in TMNT 2.





PS: ...too bad no Venus. Yeah...yeah...Laird's been pissed off about that for a while; specifically towards Saban. Still...I thought she had potential...then came...Leo's "Turtle Boy and Turtle Girl Speech" that irked the hell out of me.

But he wasn't irked about the 80's cartoon series? I want to get to the 80's cartoon, but do not see much in it that the films or the 2003 and 2012 series have done better. Just based on appearances and alleged tone. I could be wrong though. My first exposure to the Turtles came from the original two movies and the Saban show, by the way.

Is the cartoon worth watching?

And the rap was pretty cool while Venus would be a cool opportunity if done in the future, if voiced by Cameron Diaz or Emma Stone. It'd be interesting to see a snarky and yet, competent Turtle that is unrestrained by an honor code, imo.

I found the Usagi and Casey episodes quite amusing. Leonard the Renaissance Turtle I liked because Leo tried to take on all the character traits of his brothers all at once

I've grown up with the original film trilogy before I seen the 2003 cartoon as a kid, so by the time I got to the 80's, it had this impression and reading about its supposed inaccuracy didn't help my impression of it. But if it has Usagi in it, that's a good sell for me as he was of my favorites in the 2003 era. Too bad he'll never be in the 2012 version.

Did anyone see the new TV Spot that has Splinter?

I find it ironic that those who complain about realism in Godzilla want it in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If they went that route, the Turtles would be the equivalent of Shin Kamen Rider. And while I love that film as a Rider film, it was more of a horror movie. In fact, I've seen fan designs that went that route and thankfully, I'm glad they are not being considered or used for the upcoming film. I would not mind it if they did go that route for a darker Turtles film, but for this kind of movie? No.

I am all for the lips on the Turtles because they've had them in the original comics and every incarnation of cartoons and films, so why fix that is not broken?

Oh and for those who didn't notice, Splinter seems to be a suit actor from the clip. I watched the TV Spot in HD and I noticed how the effects looked grounded in reality in the way light reflected off of the actor versus how light is reflected off of a CG character.

It should be taken to note that Splinter is being portrayed by Danny Woodburn, who has dwarfism. Perhaps to cut costs and to take advantage of his height, they have created Splinter as a mixture of traditional suit effects like the original trilogy, but with some CG with harder feats and animatronics to solidify the character into reality in ways it could have never been done in the 90's. I am honestly not sure if it is mo-cap because the clothing looks way too real in its imperfections to be merely computer generated.
 
Confirmed:
William Fichtner is NOT Shredder, according to this trailer:

Flying Bangarangs, Skrillex!

Yep, the Black Nerd was talking about this trailer. He is a bit too much like a robot, but I am still diggin' the new Shredder. Probably the best part of the whole movie.

Knowing Shedder is a "Robot in Disguise" wants me to cuss out Bay even more.:redface2:

I get the Utrom thingy...but still...that's too Decepticon even for me.
 
This was actually a good movie. I really enjoyed it. No complaints. Well...I question if the Vern character was necessary (or rather so prominent) but even that wasn't a dealbreaker.
