"I think I saw on wiki that the Mako guy just died recently and was supposed to be playing the voice of Splinter. Wonder what effect this will have."
Obviously, that means that Splinter is not gonna be in the movie. Sad.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa would be my second choice for the voice.
The teaser has me cautiously optimistic.

Oh, and there is no such thing as a good TMNT movie without Splinter.

Splinter will be in it, he'll be recasted.
Count me excited on this one. Then again, I love the original and the animated series.

Unfortunately, they are probably going to walk the same line the movie did (which had scenes straight out of the comics but was definitely kiddie in tone).
I'm just hopping to see some epic ninja battles, even if they do remain bloodless.

It can still be dark and violent, but it shouldn't take itself so seriously.

In fact, there have been a LOT of different looks for the turtles, just check this out to see how radical the different takes can be.
I was never a big fan of the cartoon, as I felt it was way too goofy. In the comics, the turtles have fun but can be stone-cold killers when they need to be. When Leonardo hit someone with his swords, blood flew. Those aren't toys. Hopefully we'll get some blood in this, or at least some brutal fighting.
Anyway, I'm extremely excited for this flick! It seems MUCH truer to the source material than any other adaptation so far.

Looks good, I think their faces look alright, there bodies seemed a little thin to me but overall I think they'll look pretty good.
I don't know if I'd see it in a theater, but I'll definately give it a rent.

I'll have to see a trailer before deciding if I'll see this in the theater. It'll definately get a rent, but I'm a little disappointed it's not live action.

The trailer posted won't play, watched it at IMDB, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453556/...ay-E28310-10-2 .
I realize that it's just a teaser, but is the entire film gonna be CGI or just the turtles?
