So it seems as though Michael Bay is on a one man mission to destroy the childhood of millions. First, he enraged a large majority of Transformers fans with his franchise that consisted mainly of blowing things up and now he has incurred the wrath of millions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans with his latest announcement.
At the annual Nickelodeon presentation producer Michael Bay said of the loveable Turtles in their new film: “These turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.”
Aliens?! The heroes in a half-shell are not aliens, they are mutants: Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles.
Seriously, what is Michael Bay’s problem?
I was looking forward to this film before the latest announcement. Changing the origin changes the whole story of the Turtles and the millions of people who grew up loving the green heroes tutored by a rat are set to be disappointed. And speaking of the mentor rat, Splinter, is he a mutant rat or another alien? Absolutely ridiculous!
This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle film has been slated for a Christmas 2013 release.
The Turtles' last film outing was an enjoyable CGI adventure back in 2007.

Aliens!!! I refuse to see this film with an open mind.
I’ll stick up for Michael Bay’s transformers films slightly though; both sequels were rubbish but the first one went down pretty well with critics and fans didn’t it?
The first Transformers film was well received, yeah, but whilst I’ve been looking around the internet and fan forums it seems like fans took a bit to Bay because of how bad the sequels were, especially the second film.
