Today, Paramount Pictures released another, longer trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. This clip reveals more of the storyline and a better look at Splinter. Check it out here:
I have mixed feelings, and I don’t like this trailer as much as the first one. I still like the interactions between the brothers, and I like Splinter so far. The art style is gorgeous and textured. However, the comedy really wears thin in this trailer, and I think they show too much plot. Now, we already know that the Turtles join a gang of mutant evil-doers and eventually leave to oppose them. It’s not a beat-for-beat breakdown, but I like to go in somewhat blind. I’m still going to see it, but I think the humor has overtaken April’s design as my main complaint. Hopefully, these are the worst jokes in the movie.
If they showed everything that’ll happen in the trailer, then why go see it? I think it showcased who were dealing with and it’s not just Bebop and Rocksteady, but a whole group of mutants. I like some of the casting for the group like Ice Cube and Paul Rudd.
You know, Across the Spider-Verse kinda did that too. It showed the big moments that’ll happen and that’s that for the movie. I was expecting more and there were moments I liked, but I just wish it went better for me.
