It does look like they are taking a good amount of feedback from people. Especially considering that they tried to make them aliens in the first movie, allegedly.

I have to admit, that was far better than expected. I'm being cautiously optimistic. It certainly has a better tone to it, more fun and exciting, and I'm interested to see what Dave Green brings as a director (the previous guy, I thought, handled action kindly badly and the staging of the stuff in the trailer is already outclassing it).
Almost feels like a soft reboot in a way. It's strange that they're going with the cartoon Bebop and Rocksteady so literally but had to redesign the Turtles completely.

Yeah, this looks like fun.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
This looks pretty fun and the characters they're adding look great.
The humor was mostly bad in the first one, but the action scenes were spectacular and Megan Fox was actually decent.

Wow; uhmm. When you take it for what is is (A silly kids movie), this looks extremely well done. I liked the first movie well enough, but this looks like it's even better. Definitely a more fun and lively atmosphere, which the first film really could have used to make it great.
And way better then that awful Batman Vs Superman trailer.

That was an exception. Plus, he had a better director behind him.
Even though he looks nearly identical to the original Baxter?
He is just going to be an over the top mad scientist. He isn't playing an obese mamma.

I can't stand most of his movies, but he's not an awful actor. He seems like a pretty good choice for the role, actually.

Gotta admit: I fell asleep during the first one.
But this one has me at the nostalgia: the Turtle "van", Rocksteady and Bebop, is that the guy from Key and Peele or Tyler Perry as Baxter either way I dig it, Dimension X, and school girl April O'Neill.
I actually loved the tank waterfall part. So ridiculous, the look on Rocksteady's face as he's firing the rocket as it emerges from the water. So ridiculous it's badass.

Who introduces them like that? It's always been Bebop, and Rocksteady.
What did he mean by this?

I really hope this movie brings in not only the scifi elements of the Krang and alien ooze, but also retcons the crap out the first movie and has the mystical/magic elements from the source material with Shredder and Splinter being reincarnated and shit

Yeah, alphabetical order. B for boar/Bebop, R for rhino/Rocksteady.
I remember it being the opposite.

Not in this toy commercial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjQ7eLXNSOM
Season 3 episode 27 is called "Super Bebop and Mighty Rocksteady"
I've always heard "Bebop and Rocksteady"
fuck that R & B all the way
Night and day man, night and friggin' day
I think that's just the lights/filter in that scene. They are just as green if not greener in the film.
Splinter punishes the turtles:
Here's from the attack on the sewers:
This all seems like a placebo effect.

https://youtu.be/ExjaWvKQxw0?list=PLZVMGCh7sZUh_jIqrYMKYyyPNJtpng_ZC&t=1098 (first introduction of Bebop and Rocksteady in the 1987 series)
Bebop and Rocksteady were actually a lot more threatening in the first season of the '87 series. But of course parents complained and in season 2 onward they were dumbed down to be comedy relief.

Loved the first, will probably enjoy this one too. I didn't need 80s series aesthetics though. It's my least favorite adaption. Still - can't wait to watch with my son.
It was the opposite in one of the cartoon episodes, as I too remember the Turtles saying "It's Rocksteady and Bebop!", and I've watched a lot of Turtle toons in my younger days. It is typically "Bebop and Rocksteady" though. I'm trying to remember which episode it was in; It'll probably come to me in my sleep or something.
I don't love the design of the turtles all that much, as I'm not sure why Donatello is wearing pants, but in general it looks like an enjoyable movie sequel.
This actually looks pretty good (for what it is) and I'm a bit annoyed because after Transformers 4 I promised myself I'd never pay money to see something Micheal Bay had anything to do with but... it looks fun and might have fewer lame plot twists than the first one ... I mean the batting average on turtles movies is kind of 50/50 here so I'm almost willing to give this a chance.
It looks like it will probably be more enjoyable than Batman V Superman at least.

The first was fun. Loaded with problems though. I could tell Megan actually enjoyed being in it, but she's not good enough as a lead. I will say I don't mind her playing April per se after seeing her turn, but she still wasn't good enough. Luckily Arnett and the turtles proper were enjoyable enough to support her, but still. I didn't even mind the story focusing on her and the relationship with the turtles, makes it kinda personal and there's something sweet about it.
My biggest problem was the pacing. They tried to keep it super short while telling an origin story and packing in a ton of action into the last 20 minutes. Instead of feeling full, it just felt like a quick sampler platter. You go from this downhill snowy mountain sequence to back to a city setting in no time flat, and while the Shredder fight was cool I felt like it was still a bit too visual driven rather than by the characters, in that way it wasn't as good as the climax in the first live action one. I'm comparing apples and oranges but I can't shake it.
Still, I thought it was fun and a decent introduction, but man if they can fix the pacing and if Megan can give it like 10% more the sequel could be really good. I noticed Judith Hoag is in the cast and Steve Jablonsky is scoring, so I'm immediately more excited. A new director doesn't hurt either. Super pumped to see that it almost seems like a live action version of the cartoon, which is about the only way elements like Rocksteady and Bebop are gonna work.

Yeah, they are hitting all the notes for this one out of the park compared to the first one. It's my childhood on the big screen!
Looks like silly fun. I like that BB&RS are in it, but thought they looked strangely more cartoony/CGish than the other CG characters do.
The first TMNT movie was a bit strange. I watched it, going into it expecting absolutely nothing -- Didn't like it at first, then it started to grow on me, but closed things out with a boring third act. In any case, it was better than I thought it would be. I liked Megan Fox in it, too. Will Arnett was underutilized in a horrible, obnoxious, unnecessary role that gave him nothing to work with. Way too much screentime was given to a character whose only purpose was to oogle Megan Fox creepily (which would probably be okay if he was funny, but he wasn't).
