Hope he feels a chill at the box office, with that attitude...

Ninja Turtles were cool, one of my favorite cartoons when I was a kid.

Michael Bay needs to learn you don't urinate on fans if you want their money. I hope he 'chills' when the box office returns come in and his movie is a failure.

He did it to Transformers fans, now he's doing it to TMNT fans!

I'm sick, myself, of these 're-imagined' concepts. I have yet to see a case where one of them is better than the original. 'Re-imagined' my behind....rehashed because you can't come up with anything original.

He destroyed the Transformer franchise with that horrendous part II. Now he's going to destroy Ninja Turtles!? Somebody grab the script from his grubby paws!

he said in the same interview that he will give them deep story. When in the world has Bay ever gave ANY character a DEEP story? LOL!! Character development =/= big explosions......

Great nice to see that Hollywood are continuing the raping of one of my favourite childhood shows....

Never was fond of the movies or cartoons, as they deviated a LOT from the original comics. Which are rather dark and adult orientated.

Bay is a one trick pony. SFX is all, story is nothing.

If you plan to see this film, it might be a good idea to see it in a cinema, where the sound of everything blowing up might be enough to keep you awake.

He's in for one rude awakening.Don't piss off the fans!

Kowabonga Mr. Bay! It's Mr. Michelangelo to you! AND I am NOT an ALIEN!!

Bay made me loathe Bumblebee, a childhood favorite. What's next? He's gonna make Casey Jones look like a sucka?

The heros on a half-shell are mutants, not aliens!

Would Michael Bay be under Krang's spell ?

"It was aliens"

Why does Michael Bay keep on making movies? Why do we? (bored Americans and Japanese) love explosions so much?

My guess is that there's some issue with the turtle's origins. Back in '84, radioactive mutations were "cool" in the sense that Godzilla was cool. Lately, radioactive ANYTHING isn't cool - much less mutated species due to radioactive sludge.

Just make a movie based on the early comics and give it a "R" rating.

Already enough with screwing with franchises like Judge Dredd, Spawn, Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Punisher, AVP and so many more that got ruined by hollyweird when they could have done it right.
