pantswarrior: Uhura holds her own even in mirrorverse. (fierce)

Also: Megan Fox as April. (Granted, April in the comics was not a redhead, so I'm not complaining about that part. I just have NO IDEA why she has to be in this movie when she can't act worth a crap, except if Bay has some kind of deal with her or something, I dunno.)

CG action scenes look as ridiculous and over-the-top as in every other thing Michael Bay has done, so I can't imagine we'll actually get to see a showcase of, you know, ACTUAL MARTIAL ARTS which is what the NINJA turtles specialize in, not gigantic explosions and car chases and physics-defying stunts. Silliness of the first movies aside, at least they actually had real martial artists in those suits, showing off what they could do even ensconced in huge rubber costumes.

As I said before, I can deal with messing around with the origin story some - even the first cartoon did that - but Bay does not have a good track record when it comes to his movies telling a good story, so combined with everything else and then what I've heard about the plot changes, it's like they just changed it because they COULD rather than because he wanted to improve upon it or tweak it for a particular audience.

There's just... there's SO MUCH wrong with this reboot it doesn't even feel like TMNT anymore, even when there are actual mutant turtles in colored masks front and center in the footage. I can't even put my finger on some of it, it just feels ALL COMPLETELY WRONG in addition to the stuff I can actually identify.
