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.

What movie did you watch? 2014 made no sense... the plot was horrid.

It was a fun movie. It did have plotholes, yes, and learning ninjutsu from a book is dumb, but the Turtles are good in it. I liked Splinter VS. Shredder, and the Shredder suit is pretty cool looking.
Movie 3 was boring in my opinion.

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.

This. Megan Fox is sublime. Shredder is badass. The turtles look great. Tonnes of great/funny moments and beautiful sceneries.

TMNT3 is better than TMNT 2 Soto but that's it.

Megan Fox is horrid in all angles. Shredder was an after thought and more transformer. The Turtles were Shrekurtles and Fugly as all get out. The story made zero sense. Splinter can't read but he could teach ninjitsu from pictures. And it was a ripoff of Amazing Spiderman (either the first or second, either way). It had a couple funny moments which were all spoiled via trailers.

I honestly cannot understand why ANYONE felt the first one was good. Superman 3 and 4 were both better movies. The Star Wars Christmas Special was a better movie. Green Lantern was a better movie and it SUCKED!

But I've heard decent things about TMNT 2. Such as folks wishing this one had been the first film...

Calling other people look horrid? Please, take a look into a mirror yourself. You're no beauty queen. Sounds like you're the jealous ugly one.

Other than that, Megan Fox secured her place on #11th on EMPIRE's 100 Sexiest Movie Stars just last year. She beaten Penelope Cruz, Eva Green, Charlize Theron, Amy Adams, Keira Knightley, and many other beautiful women.

So they made changes. So he looked like transformers. Big deal.

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:


Yep, 2014 Shredder won hands down on the badass look scale.

Mutant turtles, different perspective. Maybe if they look at you they tell you look like Shrek and fugly.

Many other fans like the look, this is apparent on the countless fan arts and posts online. Not everyone share your opinion.

Most things are ripoff of something else anyway. For example, the highest grossest film of all time, Avatar, was a ripoff of Pocahontas story. Big deal.

Because you can't tolerate other people's different opinions than your own?

I thought all Superman films suck. Well, Men of Steel was okay a bit at the end cause Superman gets to kill someone. Green Lantern was nothing great, just good.

You've heard but you haven't seen it.

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.
