Yesterday we got our first look at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

We all know all of that, dont we?

Shall we just get on with having a closer look at this trailer?

And another bit of it being flown through by helicopters.

No sign of a Turtle Blimp, mind.

Theyre wearing smart black clothing and have some pretty cool masks on.

The Foot Soldiers look pretty cool, right?

I think they look cool.

The scale of aTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesmovie is always going to pose an interesting question.

So we can, it seems, expect a bigger story than in previousNinja Turtlesmovies.

As for specific action set pieces, it looks like the Foot are up to something in the subway.

Theyre shooting into the ceiling, people are hitting the deck and April ONeil is covertly filming them.

Others follow suit, being bashed into things by an unknown basher.

Also, that looks like the Foot Soldiers in the sewer.

But thats it for me, gambling wise.

Im not made of money.

So, traditionally, Shredder has been Oroku Saki.

Through the years, though, there have been several Shredders inNinja Turtlescomics and cartoons.

In the Image comic run, Raphael becomes Shredder for a bit.

Sachs is a slick, important-looking chap in a nice suit.

We had an Oroku Saki a bit like that in the 2003 cartoon series, albeit Japanese.

He turned out to be a small alien in a robot suit.

Maybe not so westernised after all, eh?

And here he is meeting his own armour in front of maybe a space warp?

So, where is this armor coming from?

It looks more spacey to me than old Japanese armour.

I wouldnt put it past them to be making an appearance here.

The above is a quote from Fichtners Eric Sachs, because I love quoting that guy.

First, whats going on with Aprils dad?

They might be doing that in this film, I think.

Anyway, TCRI stands for Techno Cosmic Research Institute.

Plus,when they were debunking the alien Turtles thing, Bay specifically mentioned alien ooze.

God I hope there are Utroms/Kraang/Krang in this film.

So where are the heroes in this thing, anyway?

In fact, when she does finally meet the Turtles, she reacts herself completely out of consciousness.

Theres really not enough here to know anything about how Fox does in this film as April ONeil.

Now I know what youre thinking.

I agree with you.

Water towers: significant to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and remarkably dangerous.

You may have noticed that Ive been quick to defend this film against complaints.

In this instance, yes, Michelangelo does look like Shrek, and yes, it is funny.

They look better in motion than they did on the leaked promo standee a while back.

The lips actually look fine when theyre talking.

As for the noses?

Well, it looks a bit odd, doesnt it?

I do understand the complaints, but as it stands its not really bothering me.

Also, the TMNTs are really physically big.

Kersplatted is the term I used earlier.

That leads me nicely to the word gritty.

Everyone on Twitter, even the parody accounts, has mentioned that the newNinja Turtlesfilm is gritty.

Er, but is it?

Well see, but I think the tone of this film may be lighter than some are expecting.

Finally, then, is the Michelangelo mask joke.

Thats such a funny joke, and one that I cant believe Ive not heard before.

Its kind of a zinger.

I think it looks really fun.

More than anything, though, I bet William Fichtner is the business in this.

It sort of makes you question what the point of this article was, doesnt it?

As it stands, Ive written about 25 words for each second of trailer.
