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?

The faces seem a little off and they are way too big but it's an improvement over guys in a suit.

You know I totally forgot who was directing this but when I saw the trailer I thought to myself. "wow this totally feels like transformers"

It did feel like Transformers but Bay isn't directing....he's producing.

And as said,i loved it.

That's the main reason I have hope for this movie. The fact that Bay isn't directing this but simply producing. I feel like a lot of people only hear that Bay is involved and quickly deem it an abomination, yet don't even realize that he's not directing. So maybe there's hope for the Turtles yet.

I love how people are freaking out about how tall the Turtles are, asking how can you be so tall and still be a ninja. Yet they completely ignore the fact that we're literally talking about MUTANT TURTLES who can talk and fight crime. lol

Personally, while I wasn't sure before, after watching the trailer I'm willing to give this movie a shot. Megan Fox was the only thing I was worried about, as I hated her in Transformers, but she surprisingly wasn't annoying here. Hopefully that will translate throughout the entire movie.

Wow... Okay it didn't blow my mind or anything, but that was cool. The short Donnie scene looked cool, Leonardo looked extremely cool until Mikey had to ruin it :P The face isn't that bad, it looks similarly shaped to the comics but with 3D/CGI. Lets just hope they keep that mask on lol.

I really don't like the idea of Shredder being a "good guy", but it seems like he's only pretending to be, which is better... Those were Shredder's foot soldiers wrecking up NYC, maybe he ordered them to cause chaos so he could trick April's father into creating super soldiers for his army.

Shredder having a hand in creating the turtles could be something that leads him to create more mutants, I really really really hope we see Slash, Bebop and Rocksteady. In later films of course...

7.5/10

I think this will be better then the last two TMNT films no doubt.

My only minor gripe is

A. no Raphael

B. No Splinter

C. Will Casey join the party? hmmm

But I'm sure all of these will be touched upon, if Casey isn't in this one I bet you he'll be in the next one.

I'm looking forward to it.

Honestly, the size of the turtles doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. They're bigger than average, but they're still somewhat proportional.

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.

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

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

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.

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

i think its clear we are getting a very different turtles movie. although that is not a bad thing, it does provide a cause for pause.

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 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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.
