Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesFrom what I have seen we can expect a typical Michael Bay film. While this is a good thing as he does over the top action (CGI action) better than anyone in the game, I don't think this is big on my agenda for this movie.
My main need/ want from TMNT is to be engaged by the characters and feel as though I am part of the movie, just like I got from the originals in the 90's (now they were amazing IMO).
From limited reviews I have seen, it seems as though this may happen, but I can't say I usually watch a movie the "same way" the reviewer is so I will hold judgement until then.

There have been better stories made about these characters, including the 1990 feature film, but there also have been plenty of weaker ones. Despite the strange revamp of the Turtles into huge, superpowered behemoths who seem ready to throw down with Colossus or the Thing, the film does a nice job of capturing their brotherly in-fighting, camaraderie and rapport. Much of the movie is just sort of 'there' though, except for that notably entertaining snow-based action sequence – which stands out for also having fun taking the Turtles out of their usual city terrain."
I am still very keen to see this considering how much I loved the 90's versions.
