Secret of the Ooze: #6 WORST comic book movie ever?
 

The second film wasn't great cinema by any definition, but to place it well below Catwoman, Batman & Robin, Superman IV, Steel, Supergirl, and the Captain America movie that never saw the light of day is a crime:

Death to Yahoo!

EDIT: Argg, I just remembered this is New Movie discussion. Could a mod please move this one to the proper thread please?
RE-Edit: Thanks, Machias Banshee!

Sure thing... ;)

Um, those movies aren't in numerical order. Nothing says TMNT is the six worst. And even if it is no big deal.

That's absurd! :lol: While the movie had a few improvements over the first (Donnie acting like Donnie, to name one) which were weighed down by some really embarassing moments ('Niller Ice, Shredder's means of ejection from the club, Super Shredder's blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance, etc.), there were plenty comic movies more deplorable than this. It just tried a little too hard to be mindless entertainment.

True, that's why I hold out hope. Generally, Yahoo! tends to rank things with #1 being the last entry. But it might not be the case here. I agree though, it's no big deal for Turtle fans. We can still enjoy the movie for nostalgia.

TMNT 2 was silly, but it wasn't bad by any means.

Its still a fun watch.

TMNT 3 is often considered worse than the second...and what of Superman III, it's way worse than IV.

And speaking of 4...where's Fantastic Four...heck any of the 3 of them?

Amen. And I thought the sequel was worse than the original.

Agreed. And speaking of crappy Marvel movies, where's The Hulk? That movie's garbage.

The one thing I can give Ang Lee credit for is that his Hulk movie is the only comic film that feels like you're watching a comic. I liked the panel in panel stuff he did.

Outside of 24, wasn't that a fairly novel idea at the time?

BTW, TMNT 2 gets a bad rap on account of Vanilla Ice...
waitaminute...
"I just made a funny!"

crangulashuns! you have posted that...er...post at 7:11 pm! you will be lucky for ...um... when you go play poker!

ON TOPIC: yeah, there were way more worse movies than tmnt 2 out there, like hulk 1 and tmnt 3 (lol). yeah, and its pretty rude and mean for yahoo! to put on a movie just because it has a stupid rap in it that was horrid but pretty catchy.

Haha I like all the comments.
I agree the second movie definitely doesn't belong on that list. The third movie much more likely, I pretend that one doesn't exist.
They are just lashing out at Ninja Rap because they know they sang and danced to it when they were kids and just won't admit it :P

If the list was "Most Embarassing Comic Book Movies", I might could see how The Ooze would fit. But, gimmeabreak... And, to this day, I still think "Ninja Rap" is the only listenable song in all of Vanilla Ice's career. Lyrics are retarded, but the beats are sweet.

TOTALLY... I mean, what was up with that crap about the woman getting engulfed by the computer and becoming a robot for no apparent reason... especially since it had nothing to do with anything, and no one had to fight it... it just fell down or something in 20 seconds of air time.

i didnt care for 2, it was fine until vanilla ice ruined it with his crap rap...but 2 was better than 3

I just hate Yahoo all together so I don't really care what they think.

There are about 570 comments on the entry by Yahoo! users. Most all of them are shocked and upset that Secret of the Ooze made this list and have fond memories of the film.

Take that Yahoo! :lol:

Certainly was an acquired taste.

TMNT II is simply a pure guilty pleasure. It's just so much fun to watch! It's by far my favorite of the three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. The first one was alright, and the third one was absolute garbage.
Infact, I'd still go for The Secret of the Ooze over the new TMNT movie.

Though I agree for the most part, SotO over the original movie....

Blasphemy!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie = respectable message movie
Secret of the Ooze = zany fun, guilty pleasure (with a fair share of embarassing moments)
III = better in print as it's less lame without the sound effects and horrible quips

Personally. I think SotO is a horrible comic book movie. However, it isn't a horrible TMNT movie. Even with the stuff that was taken from the comics for SotO, I enjoy SotO much more as an OT-inspired movie.

Good point, but I'm betting the farm that the Yahoo! reviewer probably has never read a copy of any Mirage published book.;)

Exactly what was taken from the Mirage universe in SotO? TGRI?

... and Splinter, and Leonardo, and Donatello, and Michaelangelo, and Raphael, and April, and Casey, and The Shredder -- the list goes on a few more centimeters. :D

Hardy har, Fraggle man....you know what I meant. Aside from established characters, what from Mirage is used in the story? :P

The sewers of New York?? :P

DAH!!!! Curse you, Gobo!!!!

Basically the whole thing of, "What? TCRI TGRI? We've totally gotta sneak in and investigate! Oh no! Stuff happens that interrupts us! Now were on a completely different adventure!" Also, TCRI TGRI mysteriously vanishes after it's all over.

Also, I've read many times (though have no clue what the source is) that Perry was supposed to reveal himself to be an Utrom in the end, but there wasn't the budget for it or something. I have nothing to confirm that, though.

Yeah I've heard that, too. I'd love to see a script to verify that...

It may have been a pre-script idea, and got shot down as "out of budget" early on.

Also cause at the time, all the kiddies would have been wondering why 'Krang' is running around disguised as some old guy?

Yea, I imagine that had an effect.

Gah... I agree with Son of the Mask. 2 things... 1, there's a freaking comic book you could have based this off of... 2... any movie that previously starred Jim Carrey and doesn't have Jim Carrey in it is bound to suck... Dumber and Dumberer... Evan Almighty... total sacks of crap.
