As previously mentioned, Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot held its set visit for members of the press last week. As many of us know, the full details of these visits typically don't hit the web until sometime close to a film's opening, so it will be some time before full details of this visit are disclosed.

However, writers Erik Davis, Perri Nemiroff. and Breanne Heldman took to Twitter to give vague, but intriguing, reactions to what they saw.

So I spent all day on the set of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES & apart from LOVING the new look, I can absolutely confirm it will be badass

I have to be mega vague, but as a longtime fan of TMNT I was SO happy with what I saw. They're doing it right. Trust.

Last week spent an hour trying to catch some TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES action outside my building. Today got to spend a whole day on set.

Those turtles are getting a serious upgrade.
— Perri Nemiroff (@PNemiroff) June 21, 2013

Spent my day @ the #TMNT set. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans, worry not. Still heroes in a half-shell & #MeganFox is still hot #cowabunga

So there you have it! As these reactions indicate, the Michael Bay produced reboot may not be as terrible as many think! Or not.

Stay locked to ComicBookMovie for more updates as we draw closer to the film's release.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (formerly Ninja Turtles) will be directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Wrath of the Titans"), and produced by Michael Bay ("The Rock").

ColonelKilgore - 6/23/2013, 9:28 PM

I bet it still sucks. I've never heard of any of these people. What do they write for? If it's their own blog, they don't count as writers.

pro346

Yeah I know he's not directing i just felt like posting that somewhere lol. I'm actually somewhat interested in this movie.

TheWolverine08 - 6/23/2013, 9:41 PM

Well, I'm a big Turtle fan, and I guess when I see this, I'll just have to shut my brain off and enjoy good visuals.

Gnyah123 - 6/23/2013, 9:53 PM

the first 3 movies were all PG
this is PG-13 most likely which is good we will get a little more action in this reboot...and im sure this movie will be average at best..its not gonna be all that but it will be enjoyable dont know why ppl hate!
the guy directing it did wrath and clash of the titans...
which was again enjoyable flicks i think so i think this movie will be sick
just wait til the trailers

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 6/23/2013, 10:00 PM

There obviously getting paid to praise the film

ThePresidentGaming - 6/23/2013, 10:03 PM

We have not seen the movie. When I watch it, I'll judge it for myself. I thought TMNT was good.

ohsoserious - 6/23/2013, 10:05 PM

Give it a [frick]ing chance you [frick]ing whine bags

TheWolverine08 - 6/23/2013, 10:08 PM

@ThePresidentGaming TMNT 2007 was awesome!

PsychoManiacJacky - 6/23/2013, 10:38 PM

BlindJustice - 6/23/2013, 10:42 PM

I was a fan of the original TMNT comic book. The cartoons were alright, but it made the turtles too family-friendly and boring. The original comic was full of kick-ass action complete with blood and gore :)

TheWolverine08 - 6/23/2013, 10:45 PM

@BlindJustice Check out TMNT by IDW. It doesn't have blood and gore, but it is awesome.

ThePresidentGaming - 6/23/2013, 10:49 PM

Again. You can judge it when you see it. Here's TMNT

Lizardking310 - 6/23/2013, 11:26 PM

Set visits do not make a movie awesome. I will wait for the finish product

deanlegend - 6/23/2013, 11:37 PM

Carnt,be any worse then the man of steel.

ohsoserious - 6/23/2013, 11:59 PM

@hydrabob bay isn't directing it so quit bitching already and give the movie a chance before you judge it.

Vital - 6/23/2013, 11:59 PM

This is the CBM community I hate and try to avoid. This is you guys at your worst. Just endless bitching, moaning, and fighting behind your keyboard. STFU already.

AmazingFantasy - 6/24/2013, 12:18 AM

More complaining and whining about unfinished products?
