The Michael Bay produced ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ released its first official trailer. The first pictures released featuring the larger than life reincarnations of our favorite green mutated heroes, may have left most viewers extremely sceptical. Many fans have been wondering why a reboot is even necessary, but the trailer might be convincing enough to give this one a chance. In all honesty, it looks like an action “comic book” flick most geeks will enjoy. In the trailer we get to see the first encounter between April and Michelangelo while the orange masked turtle tries to calm her down, she faints right before the end of the clip. Additional scenes feature the turtles sliding down mountains, kicking ass, and there is also a sneak peek revealing their origin.
