I’m going to quickly say my piece then dive right into this trailer breakdown. 2014’s Turtle Installment was the worst movie I ever watched nine times straight. There was so much this adaptation got wrong (the character models, the villain, the blatant stereotyping)… yet it wasn’t the worst adaptation I’ve seen out of the Turtles property. If I can suffer through TMNT 3 and the Coming Out Of Their Shells Tour, I can pretty much sit through anything. Late Wednesday night gave us the first trailer for the next installment in the Michael Bay-produced franchise. All the original characters from the first film are back, as well as some newcomers. Gary Anthony Williams of “The Boondocks” fame has been casted as Bebop, while wrestler Sheamus has been casted as his counterpart Rocksteady. Shredder and Karai were recast (Brian Tee and Brittany Ishibashi, respectively). Tyler Perry (*rubs temple*) has been casted as Dr. Baxter Stockman *heavy sigh*. Laura Linney has been casted in a “secret role,” but come on fam, she’s definitely Agent Bishop. Most notably, picking up where Elias Koteas left off is none other than Arrow’s Stephen Amell as Casey Jones. Add that to some fun cameos (some I’m looking forward to more than others) and my interest is piqued. Now let’s take a look at this trailer!
There you have it folks. From the opening seconds it seems like we’re due for some huge Avenger-esqe set pieces. Hol’ up? You mean we might get some Krang action up in this piece?
WARNING. WARNI…
