"When you see this movie, kids are going to believe one day these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie," said Bay as he took the stage to discuss his new vision for the reptilian reboot. "These turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable."


1. MB you are a dumb arse, and should be stoned for what you did to Transformers.

2. TMNT ARE NOT ALIENS THEY DROPPED IN A RADIOACTIVE SEWER AND WERE TRAINED BY MASTER SPLINTER TO BE NINJAS!

3. Must we f*** up every iconic 80's cartoon show in existence and make a cash-in out of it?!?!?!?!!?

4. This will be full of chicks, explosives, and will probably have nothing to do with pizza or ninjas. Prepare to be disappointed.

Well, in the original story, the ooze was alien of some sort~

Also, i don't understand why people are so damn pissed about this. If you don't like what you've herd, then don't watch it. This movie won't change anything about the Turtles you love.

I'm not a fan of TMNT, but this still pisses me cause of that f*ck of a human Michael Bay, ruins everything.

Stanley Kubrick's dead corpse can make a better movie than this sh*t head.

It will really change it for the fans. For how big of a crowd this guy brings in people who aren't TMNT fans are going to watch this become fans and accept this as the TMNT or should I say Ninja Turtles.

MasterofMonster - March 30, 2012 06:37 PM (GMT)
^ Well, that's true, i guess. But die hard Turtles fans still gets too pissed about it, in my opinion~

They hated the transformers movies, apparantly. I love them. They have many many flaws, yes, but that doesn't mean there not good. I'm sure this one will also be great~ ^^

I just hate how people always want to renew these cartoon series. I hate seeing those new Scooby-Doo cartoons.

The new ScoobyDoo cartoon on Cartoon Network is alright, nothing amazing but it's watchable

MasterofMonster - March 30, 2012 07:01 PM (GMT)
Doesn't ScoobyDoo have a loads of REAL Ghosts and Monsters now? That takes away the fun of solving obvious mysteries. ;_;

As someone who grew up with the Ninja Turtles, changing the origin of the turtles is a tragedy to every fan. Not a love letter to every little boy and girl whose love of pizza stemmed from this iconic show, but a big middle finger from Micheal Bay as he unzips his fly and pisses on everything we love about the Ninja Turtles.

Some might argue that it's another alternate dimension as explained in the TMNT special, Turtles Forever (which I thought was a great love letter to the turtles fans... still would've liked the original voice actors to have done the old school turtles), but the difference is that in every dimension, all the turtles were exactly that; they were turtles at a fairly young age, mutated by radioactive ooze, and they had the intelligence and ability to learn martial arts. Hence their name, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"!

If Micheal Bay were to drop the "Teenage Mutant" part of the title, it still wouldn't be okay, because when we talk about Ninja Turtles, we say exactly that; "Ninja Turtles", and everyone would know and understand what we mean. They were never aliens from some distant planet or anything of the sort.

I believe this is their way of trying to put the nails in the coffin for the Ninja Turtles franchise, and completely alienate (no pun intended) the newer generations to something that should be a great classic. It's a shame, really. I don't plan on watching this movie either, because I am pretty convinced it will be as entertaining as Dragonball: Evolution, and we all know what came out of that movie, right?

toadster101 - March 30, 2012 10:32 PM (GMT)
I couldn't have said it any better myself. I'd kiss you if I could.

DG - March 30, 2012 10:52 PM (GMT)
This is stupid and the transformers movie made me want to puke and/or die.

EggBeatr8 - March 30, 2012 11:18 PM (GMT)
The saddest part of this is that it will take off and people won't give a f*** because they'll be too busy awing over some damn 3-D we've seen millions of times before or some ugly chick's tits, and won't care about plotline or how they're paying to go see a stupid movie.

And the turtles will stay like this forever now if this is popular. Look it how they killed off Spyro. The old Spyro doesn't exist any more - we're now staring at a new Spyro from a distorted universe of expensive toy figurines. Because it sells they'll never bring back the old Spyro. NEVER. Why should they? Then they can't cash-in on generic toys.

It's frustrating because you can't voice your pain, or someone will respond and say "Get over it, stop being a baby, it's a new generation". Yeah, you know that series you used to love as a kid? Well get over it, because some pr*ck decided to crap on it for everything that made it special just to make some new generation fall in love with SH*T. These things are sacred, you can't change the whole background of something! Have you no childhood?!?!?!?!

I don't really care because I don't like Ninja Turtles. New cartoon looks interesting though so there's that.

(Also aren't all of the most recent versions bastardizations of the ones before them? The 2003 series was nothing like the 80s series which was nothing like the comics.)

EggBeatr8 - March 31, 2012 12:36 AM (GMT)
Must they turn every cartoon reboot into a CGI show now? Garfield was bad enough.

Why are the turtles made out of cardboard?

Ease of animation?

The fact of the matter is, the cartoon series still portrays them as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Granted, each series is different from the last, but I have grown to accept that it's a new generation of turtles for a different generation to enjoy. On top of that, they are now somehow connected thanks to the TMNT special, Turtles Forever, as they all share a same paradigm.

The movie however, attempts to change that entirely by ignoring the fact that they're turtles and making them more like aliens. They're not suppose to be aliens, and that's the point. They're turtles, born on Earth, and genetically mutated. Nothing alien about that, seeing as genetic manipulation is now science fact.

There's just no accepting this, especially for true fans of the franchise. I grew up with the original animated show, and loved it. Then the newer series came out. I saw it, and though it didn't really catch my attention as much as I hoped it would, I still accepted it as a good series for the next generation.

What Micheal Bay needs to do, is stop treating these great franchises as quick cash-ins, because that's exactly how he treated Transformers. I'll admit, I didn't mind the first movie, but I felt he should've left it with the first movie. It seems after people and critics said they liked it, he immediately milked the living hell out of it until it was completely dry, and now all we have to remember it by are the horrible second and third films, as well as the crappy TV series they keep airing on Nickelodeon, was it?

If a series has to go, let it do so with dignity, not in a way that leaves a sour taste in the mouths of its fanbase. Hell, I feared Dragonball Evolution would have killed the Dragonball series itself, but thankfully, it was saved by Dragonball Z Kai's release here in the U.S.. I just don't want Ninja Turtles to go down that route. Hell, I think the TMNT Coming Out of Their Shells: LIVE tour has more to do with Ninja Turtles, than Micheal Bay's vision, wouldn't you say?

johnny139 - March 31, 2012 06:50 AM (GMT)
I don't know anything about Michael Bay's version because it's not out yet, but if it's violent, gritty, and urban, than it will be closer to the original than some of the crappier TMNT products, yes.

It doesn't really matter, Michael Bay is one of the worst current directors out there. He's barely better than Uwe Boll and the f*cktards that do Epic Movie and Disaster Movie.

Maybe I shouldn't judge first but his best movie was Transformers and that wasn't even good, just watchable.

MasterofMonster - March 31, 2012 07:54 AM (GMT)
Well, people can think what they want, that's alright~

Personally, though, i won't judge it before i at least sees a Trailer~ ^^

Btw, it's Live Action, right? So, the Turtles will be CGI, then? I hope so. Guys in suits wouldn't look good at this time~ ^^

Why?

Practicle effects are the best effects. The best example is The Thing

The Thing from 1982 has some of them best effects in any movie I've seen, the prequel throws some sh*tty CGI that doesn't hold a candle to it.

Also in Apocalypse Now all those explosions are 100% real and they blow Transformers effects out of the water.

Practical>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CGI

Although the suits wouldn't really be practical I'd prefer them.

That's simple. At the time the other Live Action Turtles were made, people cared enough to really make the suits work, and such. Now, at this time, people can't do ANYTHING right unless it's CGI. And barely that, either.

Plus, i prefer CGI personally anyways~ (and i've never seen The Thing, btw)

Ugh, I can't agree more to this. I watched Vampires Suck yesterday and it was worse than the actual thing it was making fun of. The humor is so forced and unfunny that these guys should be banned from making movies.

johnny139 - March 31, 2012 03:23 PM (GMT)
If they can make the CGi look good, it's the best route. But I don't have much faith in realistic CGi ninja turtles.

DG - March 31, 2012 05:18 PM (GMT)
I just hate 3D animation, it's so ugly.

What about Pixar?

(Also as I said earlier watch the new Green Lantern cartoon it's SUPER good.)

Have you even seen the first two live action TMNT movies? The suits in those movies were actually very well made, and more impressive still were the fight scenes. The way the choreography was done in those suits with the agility displayed was no less than amazing. If they can make those work then, there's no reason why they couldn't do so now. Even if they filmed real actors and masked them with CG, it still wouldn't be as authentic to watch, in my opinion.

johnny139 - April 1, 2012 03:00 AM (GMT)
The original movies look goofy as ****. I mean, they're good in a "goofy as ****" way, but that's not going to rake in the big bucks.

I have seen them, and i love them. ^^ They are very well made, and hilarious~

But i just doubt that a new Movie like that would be good. I'm 99% sure they'd screw up the suits and make it look terrible. The only thing in movies that's good nowdays, is the CGI. ;_;

The thing I can't stand is how people can call puppetry "unrealistic" and say everything is better in CGI. Look at Jabba the Hut from Star Wars Episode VI: he was a puppet, but he was a living, breathing alien that looked so realistic (at the time at least) that he could very well be an alien from a distant planet from our universe. Fast forward over 30 yeas and the CGI has ruined the charm. Not saying it's totally bad, but you can see a complete difference between what looks realistic and what's computer animated.
