2014 or 1993

WHICH DO YOU THINK IS BETTER?!
TMNT 2014
OR
TMNT 3, 1993


I like TMNT 2014 but since a lot of people hate it then WHY NOT?!
so as Shredder in Mutants in Manhattan said:
'tonight THE WAR BEGINS!'

As far as I'm concerned, TMNT 3 is better in almost every conceivable way, save some of the digital effects & that there is very little combat.

TMNT III is my vote, but I very much enjoyed the last movie. To be fair though, TMNT III is my 2nd favorite of the Turtle movies...

Don't get me wrong, Elias Koteas and Tarzan Boy were both really cool, but I just can't handle TMNT 3. It's just slightly better than TNM for me. Maybe that's why I didn't have much issue with the PD movie once I lowered my expectations after Bay's involvement.

2014 movie because it's actually a great movie.
TMNT 3 looks off.

I'd rather watch TMNT 3 on repeat than sit through the 2014 film again.

I voted the 1993 movie because Corey Feldman returned as Donatello and had more jokes than in the first one.

I also liked the idea of the turtles time traveling...like the SNES game, I wished they had the ability to time travel to another place while keeping the plot somehow.

The 1993 movie is so fricking bad and unbearably cheesy, I don't know how anyone can like it at all, period. Even if you don't like the 2014 movie, it is just plain better than 1993's movie.

This is so true.

The Turtles look HORRIBLE in TMNT 3.

TMNT 3. While it's not a great movie and is way too goofy and slapstick for my taste, it did actually have a script with some modicum of heart and a well arched story with a clear beginning, middle and end. TMNT 2014 had none of those things.

I admired TMNT III at the time for taking a risk and telling a different kind of story, something more in line with what the comic books would tell, it taught me not everything had to have Shredder and the Foot in it, and that the Turtles could be defined in other situations, there's also some touching moments

I remember liking the villain of that movie also, can't remember his name though.

TMNT 2014. The only part I liked of TMNT 3 was the dance sequence at the beginning. Casey, the moments he was on screen as well. Just cause of Elias Koteas. I've seen TMNT 2014 at least 10 times.

TMNT 3, I guess. Definitely if I can pretend the scenes added to the manga were really in the movie.

TMNT 3 may be a bad movie but it took place at a time where public saw the turtles in that light.

TMNT 2014 is made by people who don't care about the source material and instead writes the most unbelievable, plot-holed filled, April-focused story I have ever witnessed in this franchise. There is NO excuse for that movie to come out the way it did!

I liked tmnt 2014 far more because:

1. It had more tmnt characters like shredder, karai, vernon and burne
2. I think the actors in 2014 gave it their best. Even Megan Fox I think did pretty good and none of the casting choices I thought were bad.
3. The story. Sure, 2014 has many problems, but the story explores the turtles origins and actually incorporates the foot unlike 1993.
4. More interesting original characters. Eric Sacks, by far felt alot more memorable to me than any original character in tmnt 3.

I like 2014 more than 1993 and 2007, but not more than 1990, SOTO and OOTS.

I'll take Paige Turco NOW over Megan Fox.

I like it. It's a new take on Shredder, it looks the best and looks better than 1990 Shredder.

1990 Shredder looks like he's wearing an oversized dress like a raincoat or something. So impractical.

Compare this drag queen dress with overbloated mouth piece:

And this messed up 1991 Shredder

To this badass 2014 armor Shredder:

I would use the word "impractical" more for the 2014 Shredder than for either of the first two movies.

Ok? I don't know. I must be in the minority when it comes to the 2007 CGI film. I seem to like that movie more than most other TMNT fans.
