Same. I'll see it eventually, but like TF2 and 3, I won't pay money for it. Even after not paying for them, I still wanted my money back for those TF movies.
[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

Honestly I would probably be more 
about this, but I've been trying not to rage about bad movies, I just avoid them and the pointless stress. I also have the amazing new cartoon series, and corrsponding comic, the IDW timeline comic, and all the classic comics that are being reprinted. Along side the DVDs of the old show and previous 4 movies, I have plenty of Turtles material available that is good to great.

Similar reaction from me. This looks bad, I won't waste my energy on it. I'll just enjoy the goodness of the current animated series.Honestly I would probably be more
Yeah, but he was just a producer of this.
...Which is a worse thing, because most of Platinum Dunes' stuff has been bad. They did the remakes of The Amityville Horror, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. They're also making this TMNT film and are working on a movie based upon the Ouija board.
Yeah, it looks… okay I guess? The only moment that I found charming was the very end. I actually laughed.
Cannot unsee!
It's the lips that make it weird.
I have to admit I laughed at the mask thing though, that's pretty much Mikey's personality so at least there's that.

THE NEW TURTLES MOVIE LOOKS AWESOME
We can make pre-judgements on whether we'll see the movie or not. Notice how we're saying it looks like crap, not that it is crap. For all we know, it'll be awesome. Trailers are for this very reason: to give people a general idea about the movie and whether they'll be interested in it or not.
And for the record, the Transformers movies have all had amazing trailers. And they were all crap.

8-10 clear views of what's her name, and 3 clear views the "stars" of the movie. If Bay had a hand in it, it will be ALL about April, and the turtles will show up for 15 minutes. Because CGI is expensive.
reminder that "Producer Michael Bay" does not frame one shot of this film and very likely wasn't on set one day
but it's a moot point since Michael Bay singlehandedly made Transformers 3 watchable and made Pain & Gain pretty fucking amazing

To be fair, April's father plays a major role in the current cartoon series and that works pretty well.
Honestly? I think it's got potential. Let's be real here, TMNT has always had a spotty track record just like Transformers, and was built as a toy commercial before anything else. If this can breathe any kind of new life into the franchise like the first live-action TMNT did, I'm on board.

I am skeptical and unconvinced.
Actually, before anything else, it started as a parody comic of Frank Miller's work at the time (his run on Daredevil, for example). It exploded into a cartoon toy commercial shortly after, but still, it didn't 100% start intending to be another huge marketing cash cow.
True, my mistake. The original Eastman/Laird stuff definitely wasn't a cash cow like the 80's cartoon era.

FALSE! It was a comic book, then an RPG licensed under Palladium.
Fixed that for ya.

First time I GMed at a con was in Fargo, ND. I did a run of the TMNT game and the players were all people I had never met that had never played the game. They proceeded to to some crazy shit that ended with them getting into a running battle/chase scene through the city, firing wildly back & forth with the bad guys until they (the bad guys) tried a very difficult maneuver and failed their driving roll. The crash was spectacular but a few of the baddies got out still in fighting shape and it was on.Fixed that for ya.
They hardly used the combat mechanics and instead used all sorts of skills that people have but never use. It was the most awesome single game session I've ever run. The players immediately formed a gaming group and we gamed together until I moved.
I fucking love the TMNT RPG.
I'll probably put it on my Netflix queue and then never get around to watching it.
... like most of the stuff on my Netflix queue.

I will say, of all the things that look bad about the trailer, I'm most bugged by the fact that they decided to take Oroku Saki, the Shredder, and turn him into a white guy named Eric Sachs and played by William Fichtner.
So this movie should not have Charlie's support then. If he has a problem with yellow face, he should have a problem with white-washing/racebending.
This looks funny as hell, but I kept thinking that @Officer_Charon would be especially amused.

Megan Fox and Michael Bay probably don't have any bad blood between the two of them. However when Megan Fox decided to liken working with Bay on Transformers as working for Hitler, Executive Producer Steven Spielberg was a might upset.
I'm going to give this movie a shot. Just like I gave all three Transformers movies shots.
I enjoyed the first Transformers movie. It has it's problems, but it's not catastrophically bad. And yes the look of the turtles isn't all that flattering. Mikey kinda looks like someone beat the shit out of Shrek and left him to die.
