TMANT doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
I dunno, at least he's not Lucas-ing the series and re-releasing old episodes or movies with completely new stories. Honestly, the original cartoons weren't that good upon review (I watched them as a kid and thought they were great [obviously], went back when I was in my early 20s and definitely reversed my opinion). He's not really destroying anything, he's just adding his own schlock-y ideas to the progression of the series.Eh, I think that's true of all the cartoons we enjoyed as kids; I watched a few episodes of Peter Pan and the Pirates (which is still 23984r8998 times better than the Disney movie) some time ago and felt the same way. But I still find myself singing the Darkwing Duck theme every now and then...
...also, "tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.” ... ... jesus christ.
I'm not saying it wont be bad, but c'mon. They released a cartoon in the early 2000s that I enjoyed, and that version said Shredder was an alien, and honestly, it was justified by the series' story (and it actually sort of combined the Krang character with Shredder, what a twist!). Whatever.
Also because it's really hard to tell them apart.
I'll probably go see it. The trailer looks good, action packed. But I have low, low expectations out of Micheal Bay. I did get a real chuckle out of the end though "So, they're aliens?" "No, that would be stupid." Damn right it would have been.
A white dude with a hell of a lot of acting talent, but a white dude. It's not like we don't have at least half a dozen known japanese actors (or god forbid, japanese actors who aren't) who can act well who are already typecast as japanese villians!

Ken Watanabe was probably busy.
If you guys are talking about William Fitchner, then it looks like he is the Shredder.nope
Turtles fans might have been looking for their own Avengers. They get Alvin and the Chipmunks on performance enhancers and mass-market pizza instead. In Hollywood, history repeats first as farce, then as marketing.

New ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Does The Impossible: Makes Other TMNT Movies Look Good [Review] (http://comicsalliance.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-movie-2014-review)
It takes almost toxic levels of suspension of disbelief to make it through the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot, the fifth and worst entry in the film franchise based on the pop culture phenomenon originally created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. That suspension of disbelief has nothing to do with mutant turtles in the sewers who learned kung fu from a mutant rat to fight a villain wearing a suit of knives. No, the TMNT are as ingrained in our imagination as any other 20th century commercial institution at this point, and if we’re seeing the film at all, they’ve already got us in the theater—we’ve bought the premise like we’ve bought our ticket. Rather, this new TMNT suffers from the other, worse kind of suspension of disbelief: Filmgoers are asked to turn off their brain, ignore all logic and just accept the fact that every action taken by every character makes no sense at all.
