silversolitaireWtf dudes? I thought Vanilla Ice had killed the franchise for good. Okay okay, I know they made like five more movies after Vanilla, but still... slow death. Yes. Anyway, what the hell?
*watches trailer*
... heh. Okay, this doesn't actually look half bad. I think it's a good idea to go for CGI completely (apparently). Now the crucial question is: how do the humans look? Badly rendered humans always make movies look lame. The turtles definitely are looking good. I think the old franchise was really ailing from the badly dressed rubbersuit guys. It always made the turtles look so bulky and... er... non-ninja-y. From the looks of this, they've definitely tried to give them the fit, muscular built of fighters now. Rawr... I can see a whole new furry fandom emerging from that. Sabby will be so pleased... hehehe.
One thing that's always bothered me about the turtles though was that they just don't look like turtles! Their faces make them look like frogs or something. Turtles don't look like that at all!
Hahaha, ten bucks say that the guy dropping into the trashcan at the end was Michelangel! Can't see the color of their respective bandanas (or whatcha call them), but that's gotta be him...! hehehe...
Seriously... what were they thinking? I didn't see that one coming. Then again, who am I kidding?!? Look at me, I still know all their names. I think people in my generation will get all giddy about this since they've grown up with the TMNT and will remember. And why shouldn't kids of this generation get drawn in by its appeal once again? Oy vey... just think of all the merchandising possibilities. Well this is going to be very interesting...
P.S.: The icon has nothing to do with the post. I just wanted to finally use it!
