He's just bankrolling it, which means he'll have some sway but he's not directing.
He can't help himself. He will have his sway.Quote:

shredder doesnt look too bad. the turtles kinda remind if of toxic avenger :D
anyway, until the trailer/movie is out the we'll see. I remember a lot of people didnt like the character designs when they leaked out before the TF movie was released and we're still continuing to get more TF movies and we're still watching them. :)
Only out of some twisted loyalty to the brand. I would not cry if this is the last one.Quote:

Trailer tomorrow. You can see some screenshots from the trailer here including April O'Neil in her yellow jacket
I like Turtles, but I just don't think I can watch this with Megan Fox in it. She is one "actress" :p I can't stand, especially since getting the cosmetic surgery to give her that plastic face of hers.
OMG :eek:
I loved that! I cant wait, it looks great.
That's better than I expected. It feels right, more like a modern version of the first film.
hmm...so there isn't any issues with Megan fox and Bay afterall. Looks way....way better than the first ever flim.
But may not be there yet. If any of you ever read the first few real and original TMNT comics, you will know these guys are serious.
Pleasantly surprised by that trailer. The last bit with Michaelangelo even gave me a slight chuckle.
Agreed. Personality and design wise, the turtles might actually work. Shame about Megan Fox though.Quote:

They look too fat/chunky/large... which doesn't look right when they are moving so fast. They aren't the right size and build to be so agile and dexterous.
It is likely to spawn sequels, so Megan had better watch what she says publicly if she wants to keep the role (which will be harder to replace than the previous April O-Neil, who was a "nobody" actress, making it easier to replace her).
It's a decent trailer but then again, all Bay movies seem to have good trailers. Overall I did not see anything 'new' here and they didn't have Fox delivering any lines for a reason - You won't have that benefit once you are watching the film ;)
The noses are freaky though.
Can someone explain the anti Fox thing? Can't be because she is a crap actor, pretty much everyone in these bay-esc films are
I don't think there is a huge anti-Fox thing... but she was probably the weakest (least important character) element in the first two movies (and wasn't too animated with her acting - she was just there as eye candy).
As you could see in the TMNT trailer, she is like a stunned fish, just standing there, staring in all her scenes.... which seemed to be her primary role in TFs. (probably just told by the Director, "just stand there, keep quiet, and look pretty" :p )
It's also mostly the way she portrays herself as an egotistical celebrity (even biting the hand that fed her, giving her that celebrity status through the TFs movie). There are a lot of movie stars that are humble and charitable, and there are a lot who are fully up themselves, chasing cameras, snubbing their fans at public events and resorting to plastic surgery to regain "beauty" that they think they are already losing.
That's her public image to everyone, but for some members here though, it was our personal interaction with her that we are usually referring to. At the 2007 movie premiere in Sydney, she was the cast/crew member who wanted to spend her time with the media at both movie and media events, while Bay and Taylor were keen to interact with the fans.
Dark knight bank guy as The Shredder
He sure looks evil and bad ass enough in most of his movies, but he is no oroku saki
not a complaint, just curious to see where this would go. actually quite excited
would love to see some of the comic characters appear in the sequals :p
I'll give Fox credit for one thing -- at least she does see herself as an actress and does try to act. I'm not saying that she succeeds terribly well, but she does view acting as her career. This is different from say Rosie Huntington Whiteley who's primary career is modelling, and her acting stint was just something on the side. RHW's "acting" makes Fox look good. :p
As for the trailer, I'll admit it does look fantastic. But we all know that Bay is really good at creating beautiful trailers that suck audiences into cinemas and pump heaps of money... but it doesn't necessarily mean the films are any good. One of my Year 8 students today referred to the Transformers films as the highest grossing bad movies of all time. ;) I'm not necessarily saying that TMNT will be good or bad... but it's hard to judge a Bay film by its trailer. :rolleyes:
IMO the look of the Turtles themselves remind me of the 1989 computer game (especially the Famicom/NES version) with the longer legs and rounder shells.
It's not a Michael Bay film :mad:
In the trailer, the first name you see is his so I say it is ;)Quote:

YOU! look like a Michael Bay movie! :D :p
Some people are hating the new turtle looks but the difference here is I hated the cartoon and all the other movies done so far as they were not like the original comics.
I am going to try and enjoy this one.
In my opinion they have always been too chunky fat and large to move around so quick. they're frickin turtles, not known for their grace and agility ever.:DQuote:

I'm very excited about the film and I cannot wait to see it. Bring it on!
Personally I am beyond happy with their size and the way Leo flipped and broke the brick laying on the edge :eek:Quote:

From the 1.30min teaser, all I could tell was at least Donny and Mikey seem to have their trademark personalities, Leo looked tough as all nails, and rather silent, but did anyone actually see Raph? ?
Raphael is the one that hits the truck with his shell (I saw a freeze frame of that where you could see his sai)
I don't know about it being his movie, per se, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. From a promotional point of view, i assume that Bay would be more marketable & would create a greater awareness campaign than Liebesman :)Quote:

Hoping it will be entertaining, seems likely from the trailer.
Also - a sliding snow TMNT action scene - pretty nifty right there!
