Hmmm....you make some very valid arguments in this post.

There's no argument to be made. Tmnt is not a bigger franchise than tranformers. Perhaps you like tmnt more but it isn't bigger in this or any other country.

I think we can all agree though that the majority of the things we HAVE seen so far appears to be some pretty bad decision making.
I understand the turtle van in the toys and shell raiser, because it works for the cartoon, but not so much for a group of turtles that are supposed to VERY low profile. It's almost like Transformers hiding in plain site as the most state-of-the-art and most attention-getting shiny vehicles they could possibly be rather than as older beat up cars that no one would think the wiser walking or driving past. Oh wait.....
And Shredder mo-cap suit? Just what elements of the costume are too hard to produce practically to shoot on-camera? Are the shoulder blades rotating magic bullet motors? It's just ridiculous! And April.... I'm sorry, but Megan Fox does not look to be disappearing in her role at all.
And the soldiers from 300... I mean the Foot Soldiers. WTF is that? They don't look like ninjas at all!
I LOVE LOVE TMNT.... But I am not liking what i'm seeing so far. It's the most way off-base iteration i've seen of the franchise yet.
The nicktoons show has been a nice update of the old cartoon homage, while keeping it fresh. I REALLY like what they have done with that.

Yeah, the nicktoons updated cartoon is fantastic. I own the first couple of seasons of the original on DVD and struggled to get through them because of how corny they were so I didn't think I would enjoy the new one. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I also like how they gave the cartoon an updated title song from the original.
I'm really hoping that I'm pleasantly surprised and this new one will be really good but just like everyone else, from what I've seen and heard, my excitement grows less and less and I've been wanting another live action film since I was a kid an the third one came out.

It looks cool to me. About the first reassuring thing I've seen about this movie so far. Seeing/hearing the turtles themselves will be the biggest make or break for me though.

The only design I didn't like in Transformers was Soundwave. First he makes a cameo and just sits in space. Then he rescans into a car, transforms and turns out to be SMALLER THAN BUMBLEBEE. He's supposed to be near Megatron's height. I also wanted Rumble to show up as an 8ft robot and cause some earthquakes

wait, wait... you liked bumblebee's design? :behave
It's mostly the fact that Bay came out and said he didn't like the source material plus the writers aren't that great either. I liked the first one ignoring shia and megan but Bay is a horrid director. Hopefully this one is a surprise as TMNT is a franchise that's pretty versatile even if the original movies are as cheesy as the cartoon (in a good way).

Has anyone here ever read the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's by Eastman and laird before it was acquired by viacom? It was really, really dark. Haven't read the series since IDW acquired the rights to make new comics.
