The “snout or no snout” debate will probably rage on for the foreseeable future, but whatever side you should fall on, these are the Ninja Turtles we’re going to have to live with. And, from the looks of the trailer, this could be a fun film that captures the absurdity of the concept, the individuality of the characters and all the martial arts that fans have loved throughout the years. And, since the antics will most assuredly be geared for the juvenile, this could be another successful franchise for Paramount. With Michael Bay producing, here’s to hoping that the movie isn’t as punishingly long as another well-known Paramount series.
