BWAHAHAH! Michal Baysplosions Ninja Turtles revealed.

[TheWatcher]

So what are the Turtle supposed to look like if you think they suck so bad?

The turtles have always had a sleek, clean, crisp design. These look cluttered, they are wearing tattered rags and is Donatello wearing an Elvis wig?

 

I think those might be night vision goggles

[Jaydogrules]

Unlike the older toys, they are trying really, really hard to make them look different from each other. Good idea, but bad execution. Also, this movie seems more about selling toys than actually making a good, cool movie that's modern, yet pays homage to the source material. Plus, casting Megan Fox is a major fail. I thought she pissed off Bay with her comments about him after Transformers 2 was shot. What's she doing in this movie anyway? She was never a "star", was already washed up at age 24, and her presence has already messed up another comic book movie- Jonah Hex. Nice eye candy though.

I think they look fantastic.

I would bet money that at least one of them speaks with a Jamaican accent.

Haha- god I hope that doesn't happen.

 

Toys stink...

[sofistocat]

They look different because the owners, viacom or whomever controls this aspect, want to maximize profitibility for each turtle. I gaurentee you there is a revenue report generated for each turtle and marketing done to maintain the status quo for each.

 

Alot of conversation with numerous Mirage staff has disclosed the Nickelodeon has big issues with distinguishing the turtles from each other. They want them to look different so they have more marketability...

[kagenish]

here is a better look of how they look like

[Doc McCoy]

Donny looks like a Ghostbuster, a Samurai and a Turtle had a Ménage à trois.

 

Nickelodeon can't be happy. This is seriously going to mess with the good thing they have going with the updated cartoon.

[kagenish]

the only that feels a bit off for me is Micky but i do like how the rest look like it fits to each of their personality.

[Icculus308win]

I just threw up a little in my mouth -

they look like hobo, hip hop, roid rangers.

(Doesn't phase me for the movie though, staying totally optimistic)

[dupont2005]

Too bad, the prior Turtles movies were so good.

i love the way Leo looks it reminds me of the CGC movie that came out a few years ago and he was and south america.

I thought that was a great part of that movie and look - but I just don't see it in those toy pics.

I see it more so in the pics you posted though.

[ChrisInBaltimore]

Do we have an official Turtles Movie thread or is this it?

 

Either way, as predicted, this isn't looking good:

I know it is early, but who decided to let Michael Bay be involved in this film? I'm very disappointed… but just not surprised…

Probably someone who's celebrating the fact that the new Transformers movie just topped $1 billion.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Nitwits in a Nutshell

[Broke as a Joke]

This movie looks horrible. It's amazing that Transformers is still profitable with how bad these movies have been. Now Turtles is getting the magic Bay treatment as well.

Because people are not paying for anything else but to see lifelike robots beat the hell out of each other while humans run about trying to survive the chaos. As long as Bay delivers movies that feature lifelike robots beating the hell out of each other while humans are running about trying to survive the chaos, people will hand over their money.

 

I have yet to see any of them in the theater but have seen all of them through netflix. They were great background noise as I got my work done because all I really wanted and expected out of them were movies that featured lifelike robots beating the hell out of each other while humans are running about trying to survive the chaos.

 

The only reason I posted the same part about lifelike robots beating the hell out of each other while humans are running about trying to survive the chaos was to represent the plotline for each of the four films.

I am curious to see how many sequels this new TMNT gets. Will the public swallow a bunch of them like they are doing with transformers?
