The First Trailer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Has Been Launched

Childhood superhero icons are being introduced in theaters for the first time. Right from the beginning, the mega-budget film based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was bogged down in disceptation. When it was declared that Michael Bay would be working as the producer, and most probablY these turtles would be aliens, the film production has been the topic of much controvERsy since then.

The debate is still going on with the launch of the first teaser trailer of the movie, directed by Jonathan Liebesman (who is known for Battle Los Angeles, Wrath of the Titans, AND The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning). The trailer shows initial look at the ninja turtles with Megan Fox starring as lead actress.

The trailer depicts that Ninja turtles are not aliens, but are genetically modified in a lab experiment, as the trailer opens with William Fichtner telling Fox that, "Heroes are not born. They are created. That’s what your father and I were trying to do. Create heroes."

What are your views about that change to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ folklore? The origin of the TMNT has been restated and changed over the years, all the way through a range of comic books and cartoon remakes. One thing they all have normally is mutagen, the extraordinary chemical stuff that mutated usual turtles in ninja turtles; therefore, they are called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The precise specifications and structure of the mutagen has changed over the years. From time to time it just either makes them larger, or it provides them superpowers. It has always been the means for the Turtles’ subsistence.

It seems that the whole story is filmed in New York City and the complete trailer also shows us more plot details on the crime that has infected the City. We see gun-hauling hooligans appearing from the sewers and bringing about turmoil in the city. Then we see two ninja turtles fighting with the criminals, and in the end, they happen to come across the Megan Fox on the roof of a building.

While Michael’s movies are frequently disparaged for their story aspects, excessive explosions in action and exaggerated comedy, the fact is that the director’s skill at staging outstanding action series is his greatest characteristic as a filmmaker. Maybe his experience on this specific subject of the movie could eventually make TMNT a more thrilling film, if nothing else.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film is projected to be released in cinemas on August 8 this year. Has the trailer impressed you?
