Would have liked to have seen them go younger but wisdom and experience is probably a safer move.

This is a sign of the extreme instability of the domestic box office. Americans are very picky right now at the box office which is why a few movies are blowing up the bank while the rest are barely scraping by or failing miserably. The only stability lies in the international market, so I can definitely buy the concept that they are possibly revamping their marketing push for the international market. Look at Battleship, Tin Tin and John Carter, all have been enormous failures domestically based on their budgets but all 3 have made over 200 million in the international market.

On another note, I'm not so sure that the idea of writing Tatum back into the story has as much to do with his star power as it does with the notion of possibly pi$$ing off the hardcore fan base by killing off the character of Duke.

@thedude1 Yep. I think he ended up with a broken leg.

I haven't found anything out there suggesting that RDJ will leave after Iron Man 3 that isn't just pure speculation. The rumors seem to have started after Kevin Feige was asked a complete "what if" question about rebooting Iron Man if RDJ ever decides to leave, and Feige said they would continue without him but hoped he would stay on for a long time to come.

Unfortunately, there isn't a Dances with Wolves 2 & 3 for Cameron to rip-off for Avatar sequels.

I keep seeing more and more shots of suit/no mask, and it is really making it hard not to write this off. For crying out loud, why can't they shoot a freakin Spidey movie where he keeps his d#mn mask on the entire time.

@josh That was David E. Kelley

Some people just like to complain. I've heard some positive comments coming from the preview as well.

That is amazing

Minus the lips, I liked the the first films more classic version. The new look is ok, but he kind of looks like Firefly from Paul Dini's Batman: The Animated Series, especially in that first photo.

Should have shot the trilogy all at once like Peter Jackson did with Lord of the Rings & the soon to come Hobbit. It would have solved all these problems. Now film delays and re-signing the director is going to balloon the budget of the second film.

I could understand if he was suing to have his name taken off the credits. Uwe Boll's films are absolute garbage.

I wonder if Michael Bay will ever come to the realization that part of the lack of confidence people have in this is partly due to his involvement and by making these comments he is just continuing to stoke that flame.
Instead of building up his director and writers, he could get a lot further to solving this dilemma with a simple statement of "I am not involved in the creative aspect of this project in any way."

I think a lot of the outrage simply stemmed from the fact that Michael Bay made the comment. Anytime Michael Bay is mentioned in conjunction with a film an immediate plummeting of expectations occurs.

@dan @brian I wonder if the poor performance of Terra Nova on Fox had any bearing on their decision to back off this?

This looks so good. I hate it isn't going to get a TV series, but I can understand the hesitance to put money into it with the general public not really gravitating to science fiction or anything that requires much imagination. I also think the underwhelming ending to SyFy's first Battlestar series and the incredibly slow moving Caprica series really cooled a lot of interest in SyFy's vision for Battlestar.

Is this official? It looks fan made. It's completely out of character with the other poster art that's come out for this film and it's predecessors.

The response from the 17 and under crowd to this outrage will be:
"Who is Chuck Norris?"

I don't mind changing the concept to make it more plausible, but I'm underwhelmed by the "aliens that just happen to look like turtles" concept. Seems kind of stupid on the surface. Personally, "science gone awry" seems like a better path for plausibility, but we are talking about crime fighting turtles so I'm not sure plausibility is a necessity.

When Depp wears the hat and is holding the umbrella, he looks eerily like Michael Jackson.

Saw it again last night. First movie I've been willing to see twice in the theaters since probably the Dark Knight.
