Watch a Preview of the First 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Trailer [Updated]

Check out the Turtles in action and the official plot synopsis is revealed, too! Now updated with the FULL trailer!

We've been waiting for months to see something official from the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Toys and designs have been leaked, but we haven't seen any actual footage. Well, that changes today, dudes and dudettes. The first official trailer will be attached to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and The Today Show debuted a preview of it this morning.

Here's the movie's synopsis:

The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan.

So, what do you think, Viners? Are you excited and will go opening weekend? Curious and waiting to see more? Or do you have no desire whatsoever to check it out? Let us know below.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles opens August 8th.

*UPDATE*

Who cares about a preview when you can have the FULL TRAILER, right?

looks good but wish the origin wasn't different, but whatever. looks like Megan Fox might ACTUALLY be good in a movie for once.

Tampering with origins is the most hated aspect of superhero movies,but the most common one too......

I like the trailer,the turtles are in-character,(all i saw) so.....bring it on!

Michael Bay is an A-hole...... Please stop going to his movies. He is an awful human being, and it shows in his films.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. The turtles are huge! This should be a fun movie but it can't beat number 1 and Secret of the Ooze. Those were very bossanova.

Wow, I don't like TMNT much to begin with, but that trailer sucked big time! The voice overs sounded stale and the acting was pretty terrible. I can definitely tell this is aimed for 'kids 5-12.

Why is Shredder white?

Remove the Turtles and this could literally be any recent Summer blockbuster. At least Marvel Studios make their movies feel different. Thor isn't Cap, Cap isn't Iron Man, Iron Man isn't Guardians. This is just a generic blockbuster with Turtles.

The first 75% could be any trailer talking about heroes. Then the turtles come on and they look ridiculous.

Maaaybe worth watching at home when I just want a dumb action movie. Maybe.

I don't understand people complaining about the size of the turtles when the whole concept of this franchise is based on fantasy. I'm looking forward to this movie, then I'll pass judgement after.

@k4tzm4n: Let's hear it from the man himself. What do you think of the trailer Gregg?

Honestly, I'm feeling pretty down the middle. I've been expecting popcorn entertainment and it certainly looks like it'll deliver with that, but as for the tone and the handling of the mythos... well, I'd like to see more before feeling strongly one way or the other.

I don't care if it's bad or not. I still want to see it. It's a CGI Ninja Turtles movie instead of the old full body suits so I'm interested to see how these new incarnations workout. I like them tall and wearing all the tattered clothing, too. I wouldn't like it if they're wearing clean costumes, they're fighting crime, they're going to get dirty and torn up.

Because they've primarily been sleek or smaller than humans. This is a relatively big (pun, I guess?) change to their size as well as design. Truthfully, as long as they're still nimble and can act stealthy, I don't mind.

That was awesome in all the right ways! Cowa-freaking-bunga!

"Create heroes"? So, just like the IDW version?

Aw, they remembered to make April faint when she met the turtles! XD

I'm-a watch it again!

I don't like Shredder being white, April's father creating the Turtles with Shredder or the Foot using guns.

I'm trying to keep an open mind, but this is feeling like a whole lot of style over substance. Great style, but no substance all the same. Ninja Turtles are not about exploding buildings.

Does a live-action movie about Mutant ninja turtles really work? I mean, really.

But as a lover of the 90's cartoon series and a redhead, I am annoyed that "April O'Neill" Isn't even a redhead in this movie! I know there was a debate about Lois Lanes hair colour in Man of Steel, but I do think it's a very basic thing to correct, and come on....it is kind of important right? You should make a Scooby Doo movie and make Daphne a blonde?! :P

I also dislike Megan Fox in anything.

The End. :P

It didn't really capture my interests. It seemed pretty generic, honestly. I'm gonna pass.

Considering how bad this could have been, I actually enjoyed watching the trailer. This makes me excited to see the movie now. Do I expect it to win any awards? No. Do I expect to be entertained? Yes.
