To me it just shows a lack of imagination for someone like Bay or the producers to make a new intellectual property, instead of skewing something from years past. I read an interview with the screenwriter of the new Ninja Turtles and he said something along the lines of, "not being a slave to the source material".. The whole interview made me feel like he didn't understand the franchise at all.. Like he was mad that people expected him to use the decades worth of source material that people love, to write a new fresh take on the characters. I'm gonna give it a chance, but I'm not excited and I'm not really in a rush. In the year 2014, I think the "ruining my childhood" comment has turned into a lame attempt to smite a product that might have some connection to your younger self... Let. It. Go. I remember that interview. the sad thing is they could stay true AND do something original. Just look at the current series. It's blazing its own path, but being respectful. and it's amazing. The new trailer looked better than the old one, but I'm still not excited for it. I hope they do a free movie money offer, maybe witht he original film on bluray, as that's likely the only way I'll be seeing it.

I will not say what I think about the movie until I see it. Plus Bay didn't direct it, simply produced it. I don't get why people chose to hate his movies, just because it's cool to hate them. Bad Boys 1 and 2, The Rock, Transformers, Pain and Gain were all good movies. People need to calm down. I'm looking forward to the turtles movie. As a fan since I was a kid, they have evolved with my age, wouldn't want an exact carbon copy of my cartoons as a kid. Love the feel and vibe to the trailer. The turtles are more kids based, not counting their origins. But the lightheartedness of them is what made them into a phenomenon. I'll be there at a midnight showing waiting to see this.

You answered your own question pal its cool to hate on Michael Bay movies. On this site alone I see heaps of posters who LOVED Transformers & Revenge Of The Fallen.....yet now claim they always hated both. same guys are prone to such hyperbole filled statements as "Bay raped my childhood" surely one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard on forums.......an impressive statement in itself. one dude says he walked out of the theatre.....same guy agreed with me in 2009 that they are just dumb fun that probably saved the franchise which was again flagging. Bay has made some of the best actioners out there.....and he must be doing something right with TF too......300 Million worldwide opening for AOE and 100 million opening weekend in the U.S.....I also think that may be part of the problem people are frustrated by his success to the point they hate everything he does. I will give TMNT a chance.....most likely I will think its ok to good......but my TMNT obsessed Nephews & Godsons will LOVE it. That I am sure of!!

I'm actually excited for this. I'm not sure at what point a lot of folks started viewing Ninja Turtles as some untouchable masterpiece. I absolutely was a TMNT fanatic as a kid and I have absolutely no problem with what they're doing here. It's a movie about talking Turtles. I can't imagine it won't be a little fun.

My reason for not liking this trailer has NOTHING to do with it being a Michael Bay film.
I don't care if it was directed by David Fincher. I still don't care for the look of it.
I'm not a fan of the CGI turtles, mass property damage explosions and Dubstep music. Their personalities also came across as bland and I didn't find Michelangelo's Batman line funny.
I'm not a "Bay ruined my childhood guy". I'm a "I don't want this movie to suck" guy. I hope I'm dead wrong and it's awesome. However, the preview didn't impress me in the slightest.

For anyone in the same boat as me that are curious, but don't want to spend money on the film, they are offering free tickets with episode collections of the new series. I was hoping it would be with the original movies, as I'm waiting for full seasons of the show, but it's better than nothing.
You can also win tickets with Crush Soda, but I'm not sure the details.

I was planning on picking up the new Casey Jones dvd that came out on Tuesday anyway. This would be a nice added bonus.

Aerosmith title song... Willis, Thornton, Affleck... And Steve Buscemi riding a nuclear bomb. It doesn't get much better.

I was just making a point that my opinion of the trailer has nothing to do with it being a Bay film. Why do you despise Fincher? He is easily my favorite director and has done two of my favorite movies ever in Fight Club and Se7en. I think he's excellent.

He is easily my favorite director and has done two of my favorite movies ever in Fight Club and Se7en. I think he's excellent. He ruined Alien 3. because he dislikes James Cameron he tore down everything Cameron had built and refused to expand on certain elements of the story or even explain some outstanding issues in his movie. The assembly cut of Alien 3 is much better because it makes the best of the the turd that Fincher begat. For years Fox took the blame here.....but Weaver, Dance and others set the record straight. They weren't blameless but neither was Fincher. I like some of his stuff(but still find him chronically overrated like Christopher Nolan). It would be ridiculous for me to say I think hes a hack because some of his stuff is GREAT.
