With the latest TV spot out now, that includes a glimpse of the back of Master Splinter's head, Michael Bay's take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been met with lots of mixed reviews. A new vision of the Turtles was needed after the disappointing film from 2007, TMNT. Bay is famed for his extravagant nature in films and his outright demolition of the normal rules that would apply to a franchise, but is this always a bad thing? Although I can agree that he dragged out the Transformers series of films, I think we can agree that the action and the rebuilding of an old fan favorite is sometimes an alternative to a hopeless shot for shot remake of the classics. Also, by slating the film so early on, we as the fans are not helping to give it a chance; I mean, what if it is actually really good? Do we lie, just to stop the TMNT fans from ripping us apart? Are we meant to tell people we hated the special effect, the inspiring challenges set before the turtles, when in fact some might enjoy the film? Lets wait and see.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is released on 17th October for the UK, which in it's own right, sucks!
