I look forward to seeing how he can plug the US military in this one.
Also how awesome was the rap fight scene. They will never top that.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I mean, I'm no big Turtles fan, but Michael fucking Bay?
Also, April O'Neill should be played by someone actually hot. Like Karen Gillan.
Now Doctor Who, that is something I'm a fan of.
Michael Bay: Taking the names of the past and attaching them to the shite of the present. With explosions.
Not bringing in adults based on the promise of a franchise, and then serving tedious, formulaic Monomyths with the franchise acting as a background only.
See Transformers, The Avengers, The Saint, Mission Impossible, Batman, Superman, Son of Mask, Basic Instinct 2, Caddyshack 2, Speed 2, Blues Brothers 2000, Legally Blonde 2, The Next Karate Kid, Exorcist 2, The Sting 2, The Pink Panther, The Invasion, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Nightmare on Elm Street, Ladykillers, The Italian Job, The Thing, House of Wax, Halloween H20, Psycho, Get Carter, Vanilla Sky, The Wicker Man...

Hahahaha, I'm sorry for all fans of that show. At the sime time I can't stop laughing when I try to imagine what it'll look like: Huge explosions, helicopters in front of the sunset and all that with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
I wonder how he'll put the US Military into that movie....

I like how some people think there's something to "ruin" in the Turtles franchise. You obviously never saw the third movie.Mezzo. said:
I say he'll make a movie that's maybe as good as the third, only instead of different weapons all the turtles use grenades.
As I said in another thread about this:
I don't care. The existing Turtles live-action movies were bad enough, so it's not like there's anything left to ruin.
At worst, we'll get a movie I don't give a damn about. At best, we'll get a nice (if brainless) piece of entertainment.

Why not? It's not like the Turtles don't already have a few stinkers already.
...Oh what am I saying?
The sodomy that Bay will commit with the TMNT franchise will make the previous lackluster movies and "musical" idiocy (run and never look back) seem like Citizen Kane in comparison.
I can't wait to see how he will butcher more of my childhood classics before someone does the sensible thing and takes the directing chair away from him.
...Or puts a bullet in his brain. Heaven knows I felt like I had three in mine while watching Transformers 2.

Such nerdrage.
I am a huge fan of the turtles I have known them in every incarnation they've had and enjoyed them all immensely (Except for that ridiculous rock musical they did)
I really and honestly don't see how Bay could do any worse with them that hasn't been done before.
It's the same with the transformers movies, everybody is bitching because "these are not my transformers" no, and they aren't as good as you remember them either. I recently rewatched some of the old G1 episodes and by christ it was dull.
This new A-team movie everyone is complaining about is the same. How many of you have actually gone back and watched an episode?
The best place to leave your childhood is in the past and learn to accept that this is not "your" generation any more.

PLEASE DO NOT CAST MEGAN FOX AS APRIL O'NEIL.Tom Goldman said:
That out of the way, I'm cautiously optimistic. I really enjoyed the Transformers movie (although I would have enjoyed it more if the 'romance' turned out to be a heat of the moment thing and T2 started with Mikeala dumping Sam for an army dude with muscles.
) which took 'cartoony' and made it gritty enough to be enjoyable, without loosing the charm. Gritty was the TMNT's best feature. It balanced their cowabunga-ing personalities. Hopefully, he'll be on the ball with that.
And even more hopefully, the whole 'mutant turtle' thing will put a downer on any potential romances. The people in Hollywood who push for there to be a love interest in EVERYTHING will be blocked by the people who don't like cross-species luvin'.
...If there is a slinky female mutant turtle in the movie, I will be quite unhappy.
What happened to you Bay? You used to be cool. OK, not really, but The Rock is an awesome film, Transformers was alright and TF2 was absolute shit because you just don't give a shit at all and just made it for a quick buck.
Please Bay, will you actually try to make it a decent film.
