Megan Fox joins Michael Bay's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"


Recommended Posts

I thought that that was the worse thing. 

It just felt so generic to me. Buildings falling down, a looming grave threat, some secret the protagonists father hid from them..... Could have been a spiderman trailer if you swapped out the turtles. 

 

I mean, compared to the rest of the trailer the turtles looked cool. As in they looked like bulkier versions of the the old turtles.

I agree with everything else. Soon as it started with buildings falling. It didn't even need to say from producer Michael Bay.

I've just died inside.

 

The only redeeming thing in that trailer was the turtles looked cool.

 

The trailer looks pretty terrible & horrifcally generic. I think the turtles seem very nicely done at least.

 

 

Trailer was terrible... Thanks for ruining my childhood yet again, Hollywood.

 

Quick watch this & everything will be ok:

 

I didn't mind it actually. Not sure why everyone is like so mad about a movie they haven't even seen yet. Then again, I'm not that big of a TMNT fan.

For me at least, the style & tone seems very... bog standard & uninspired. Of course it's just a trailer, & trailers don't always represent the final film very well.

Megan looks like unprofessional photographer with her digital camera.

That's because April is a reporter, not a photographer.  :D

 

 

 

Oh crap, I just defended this movie.  :pinch:  :x

I think when they went from the real life suits + animatronics the originals had to CGI they lost some of the feel BUT now that it's CGI they fighting can be faster, the original movies was pretty slow, and really TMNT 3, time travel???  Come on guys!  Though the first 2 are solid, though you still have to be a fan to like them I think.

 

I'll give this a shot, I am/was a big TMNT fan back in the day, even had the rage inducing NES game, god that made me want to kill people.

And look how that worked out with the Star Wars prequels and Yoda leaping around like a deranged kangaroo.  :pinch:

And how else did you picture Yoda fighting a light saber match exactly?  He's only 2 feet.

Not like that!  :|

 

To be honest they should never have shown it. Just because movies are a predominantly visual medium doesn't mean everything has to be shown on screen. Often concepts are more powerful if they are simply implied. Obviously that doesn't help for a film like this where the entire concept is based around CGI characters. There are very few films that get away with entirely rendered characters - the Star Wars prequels weren't one of them, nor this film.

And yet I remember watching it in the theater and everyone getting excited, and cheering, when Yoda whipped out his lightsaber.    You're opinion is noted but I don't see any other way to do it, and to not do it because of that doesn't add up.  I'm betting the fans wanted to see just how Yoda could fight, probably been asking for it for years, so here you go.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
