I couldn't get this one to play for some reason so I looked it up on Youtube. There was the trailer, but then some girl's review. I have to admit that I was a bit annoyed. She wasn't even a Turtles fan and was complaining how Megan Fox didn't have any lines in the teaser trailer. For one thing, Megan Fox will be playing April. We all know that. However, as April, she (Megan Fox) was witnessing everything going on. I don't think most people would be saying much when they are in awe or shock, however you want to put it. Second, her other speechless moment appeared to be her first meeting the Turtles. In every version I've ever seen, April was in shock upon first meeting them and usually fainted (except for the newest one, 2012 series, where she screamed at the sight of Donnie). So I think that that part of the trailer actually fits. Also, the fact that this girl kept stressing that she wasn't a Turtles fan causes her to lose credibility, in my opinion, right there. How can you give an honest "review" of a Turtles movie if you're not even a Turtles fan and don't understand the franchise? She even claimed to not understand the appeal of the Turtles. Seriously? Where has this girl been for the past thirty years? Sorry everyone, that just bugged me.

Anyway, the trailer looks cool and I will go see the movie simply for the fact that I am a huge Turtles fan and would like to be able to compare this to other incarnations as I've done with all other incarnations. If it turns out to be awesome, then great! If not, then it will fade into obscurity with every other movie that turned out to be mediocre and we'll all move on. I think this is showing some promise, though. :)
