Movies
 
I've read about these on the internet, three live-action Ninja Turtles movies. They're being realised on DVD the same time as the new show. Never saw these films, are they any good?

You mean the old movies from the 90's? Or are their new ones I don't know about? Anyhow, the old movies have already been out on DVD for over a year I think...

Anyhow, the first TMNT from 1990 rocks if you love the Turtles...I highly recommend it. Good action, humor and story. I've watched it so many times. (3 out of 5 stars)

The second movie "Secret Of The Ooze" from 1991 is good, but somewhat more cheesy IMO. The action is more slapstick and not as believable, but the humor is great! An okay story too. A turtle fan will most definitely like it. (2 out of 5 stars)

The third and last movie, III from 1992 is all right but kinda dumb at the same time. I've watched it the least, in fact I never saw it until a few years ago. Kind of a neat concept of traveling back in time but the Turtles look kinda fake IMO. Oh well, again a must see for a Turtle fan (2 out of 5 stars)

I'm gonna get poached for such lame reviews...but oh well. :roll:

Yes I am :D

I love the TMNT movies. My favorite is The Secret Of The Ooze.

Bowser_Koopa 11-08-2003 06:02 PM

there was a new tmnt movie coming out, but the proyect has been stopped, not cancelled, we just don't know if it going to happen or not, depends on the popularity of the new series

the old movies were good, except for the third one, is not as bad as for not watching, is just not the best tmnt movie IMO, the first one is the coolest they base in the comics more than in the cartoons, its very good watch it! :)

I agree with these reviews. They echo my sentiments exactly.

Meira-Bates 11-08-2003 08:19 PM

I think I am the only one that /really/ likes the third movie @.@ still like the first better, but I really like the third as well. It's the second movie that doesn't impress me as much.

RskimB 11-08-2003 08:34 PM

If you have to see any of them make sure its the first, it has best action/humor/plot out of the three.

Mars-Chan 11-08-2003 08:41 PM

I don't know...I kinda like the first AND second one....
But that's just me...

Your not the only one who likes the third movie. I like it also, the first one will always be my number 1 favorite movie, and the second movie I also liked. But I thought they could have done better

Misfit 11-09-2003 12:48 PM

The 1st movie rocks, it couldn't have been done better. I've lost count of the times I've watched it, its just awesome. Writing, acting, fight scenes, Shredder, photography...just mind blowing.
I adore it, know the script by heart. :)


The second and third movie I cant' watch anymore, I gave them away to a younger cousin very recently and like to pretend they don't exist now. It's weird because with the 2nd movie there were some parts I used to enjoy, even the nightclub scene, but since the new toon came out I dunno, I just can't watch either movie sequel without feeling kind of disgusted. With the second one the hunour seemed far too forced and un-natural for my liking. The only time I like/accept overly goofy turtles is the 80s show now.

The third one I can understand, but the second? Come on, it wasn't that bad, IMO.

raphael90 11-09-2003 01:34 PM

Yeah....maybe its because I remember Secret Of The Ooze from my childhood...I still like to watch the movie mainly because its just the Turtles. Yeah, maybe the humor is a little corny, but I love it!
That opening scene in the shopping mall! LOL. I love how just as Keno is about to be overtaken by those thugs, we see the Turtles coming in from behind him....love that. Action-wise, like I said, yeah that was bad. Totally unbelievable IMO. Funny thing is if I'd watched these movies in my teens I would have hated how April is a different actor on II, but for some reason it doesn't bother me, probably because of my childhood fondness of it.
I still think the first April (Judith Hoag) was the best...

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 01:46 PM

I feel the same way as Ninja girl, I can't relly watch the sequels anymore. Of course, same goes with most of the episode of old cartoon.

it does bother me!!!!! >_:< and i also think the first April was the best

Jarrah White 11-09-2003 01:55 PM

They do the same thing in the Bond series, in every movie the cast someone else to play Blofeld or Felix Leiter.

MW8979 11-09-2003 02:52 PM

The second movie was good. It had Super Shredder in it. Enough said.

Cascadia 11-09-2003 03:21 PM

I would watch the first movie first.....it is very good. The 2nd movie is good but not quite as good.

Thats one of the reasons I dislike it so much.

Splinter 11-09-2003 03:36 PM

I like all of them, but the first is by far the superior film. The second one isn't that bad, and would have been great if not for the 'Super Shredder'. As for the third one, it's actually very Mirage-ish, other then the bad Turtle masks and crappy Splinter. Because it's similar to one of the Mirage Issues, with Mikey writing a story about himself being lost in Feudal Japan and looking for his brothers. Which again, they turned Mikey into Raph for the movie. :P :D

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 03:39 PM

There are many things I like about the third film, It's far less chhesy than the ooze, and the action seems more serious. But due to bad costumes and some other stupid things it isn't really a better movie overall.

Bowser_Koopa 11-09-2003 04:11 PM

what you hate everything non mirage :roll:

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 04:50 PM

No, I dislike all overly kiddified TMNT.

Bowser_Koopa 11-09-2003 05:21 PM

like all non mirage except for image :evilgrin: .....and maybe the new 'toon

What can I say? I have very high standards.

I liked the 2nd one well enough when I was younger,but I just find it too childish to really enjoy it now.

I'll admit there are a few moments I like...Splinter and the "10 flips" thing and the whole "a little TOO Raph" scene spring to mind...and April pretending Mikey's chuncks were hers...

Leo656 11-09-2003 06:51 PM

Everyone hates Kevin Nash but me... :(

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 06:53 PM

No, it's the concept of Super Shredder I can't stand.

Leo656 11-09-2003 06:53 PM

But doesn't the fact that it was Big Daddy Cool in the suit kinda redeem it a little bit? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 06:55 PM

Well he adds comical value to it.

Bowser_Koopa 11-09-2003 06:55 PM

if super shredder was in the comics he would like it :roll:

Karpo_007 11-09-2003 06:58 PM

:sweatdro:

Leo656 11-09-2003 06:59 PM

Hey, I've just gone on record that Nash is God and anything he touches turns to gold. I can't say I'd like it in the comics, cuz it wouldn't be Nash. :D

Bowser_Koopa 11-09-2003 06:59 PM

tell me it is not true!!!!!! you can't ha! :D

Leo656 11-09-2003 07:00 PM

Maybe if he gave someone a JackKnife or a boot to the face... :lol:

MW8979 11-09-2003 07:01 PM

Well, I'll admit that the transformation into super shredder wasn't very realistic, but that's not the point. He looked really cool - he was like Shredder but just better, with more spikes and such. Things like that can't really be debated, since it's just subjective personal preference for a certain visual aspect of the movie.

Leo656 11-09-2003 07:03 PM

I will say that the SuperShredder figure was the only Shredder figure that I liked from the old toy line. Maybe cuz it could actually stand up and didn't look like a crippled leukemia patient. :lol:

I'l put it this way, I love the comics for they don't have stupid cheesy things like that.
