Mikey VS. Donnie--In The Movies
 

Time to switch to decaf April!

Ninja kick the damn rabbit!

No way...! Donny was funny, but Mikey was funnier--all three movies. But I did like that they were kind of a team that could bounce things off each other.

I agree. Just the fight scene in April's appartment alone was a perfect example.

Hey Donny!! Wheel of Fortune!!
I don't think they're big game show fans.
And I thought everyone loved Vanna.

Good thing these guys aren't lumberjacks.
Yeah. The only thing that would be safe in the forest... would be the trees.

iv got to go with mike on this one

Both DOn & Mike were the comedy relief...unfortunantely, that's not Donnie's TRUE character........

I think Don's face in movie 2 was cute!!! LOL

Excactly right. I mean, Don had some funny things... But it wasn't really IN his character to be that much of a comic relief. I, personally, didn't much like the "Three Stooges" routine. I mean, lol, I like the Three Stooges, but not Donnie laughing like them and such. It was funny for a bit, but then it got kinda old. I mean, it's just not in Don's personality to be that much of the comic relief. I would have rather had them have him act more in character than be a secondary comic relief character.

As did I. I actually preferred it over the face from the first movie. :) I thought it was adorable. Much more fitting for Don.

I too prefered the Donatello face in the second movie, much more loveable. True it really isn't in Don's nature to be such a yuk yuk joker, I think that they could have still made him funny letting him just be himself.

I suppose they made him that way to 'fit' in with the rest and not make him too brainy and aloof.

I think Don's sense of humor in the movies was much more to my taste than Mikey's, but I agree, he wasn't acting like his comic self in them at all. Not that I disliked his movie version or anything...I thought he was adorable with his egghead quips. (Corey Feldman!) As I said before, Leo wasn't much like his comic self, either...he acted way too goofy, in my opinion. Again, not that I mind that take on him...it's kind of neat to see different takes on the characters at times. :twink:

In the movies Donnie and Mikey BOTH had their great moments. I always finding myself laughing at both of them :tlol:

As do I. :lol:

They were all pretty goofy in the movies... but at least they were less-so than in the original series ;p It would've been neat to seen more of Donny *as* Donny instead of somewhat of a Mikey clone. I love all the jokes, but still..character variety is even better ^_^

PHONEBOOK! I LOVE THAT SCENE!

I do like Donny's 'yeah....y-yeaaaah...' and whole routine with the clown punching bag or whatever it was. He definitely had his moments.

Yeah, that's defintely one of my favorite parts too.

i gotta disagree, yes donny was very funny in the <A TITLE="Click for more information about movies" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||movies|AA1VDw">movies</A>, but his character has always had a sense of humor.

as for who's funnier, it just depends on what your comedy preference is, if it's slapstick, then it'll be mike, if it's sharp, witty comments, it'll be don. i personally loved don's humor in tmnt 1 and it carried over to the new toon well. they're both funny, just in their own way their approaches to humor are quite different

Ewww no I hate slapstick... Mikey's a bit more refined than that ;p Not that his comments have a LOT of substance, but it's not 'step in a pail, oh no I'm stuck now I'm going to clump around and walk into everything' humor either.
I like that he makes a lot of references to things... the wax on wax off thing, the impressions, clint eastwood, etc. He also has a decent balance between the one liners that alone and the one liners that are in reaction to stuff that's going on (ie he says funny things with or without a trigger).

I agree with you Donatello. Still, I think that they made Donatello abit too comical in the movies, but like you said he has always had a good sense of humour.
I love the part in part 2, in the mall, Donny is repeatedly hitting one of the hoodlums with a Nerf bat, than he drops the bat and there's a moment of pause. Then Donny goes "Rarr" and totally spooks the hoodlum while he's walking towards him with his arms stretched forward! That's SO funny! :lol:

I absolutely LOVE that part, too, Ryo!

Did anyone else notice the hilarious way Donnie was drinking that soda in April's apartment in TMNT 1? His upper lip was going up to show he was sucking on a straw. It looked so ridiculous but was funny as hell!
