To those who disliked this movie more than Ninja Turtles 3
 
For those who disliked the new movie, would you say that this movie makes you appreciate TMNT 3 more or not really?

For me, a little bit but still doesn't change the fact that the third film was still bad.

I appreciate all the TMNT flicks for what they are. The latest TMNT movie doesn't really change any of the others for me. Each movie has its great moments.

TMNT 2007 might be my least fav TMNT movie overall but it has my fav TMNT moment out of ALL of the movies.. (when Leo/Raph face off on the roof in the downpouring rain and they actually come to blows, as opposed to just verbal spats).

Not really, if anything. The PD flick made me appreciate the 1990 movie for what we got.

TMNT 2k14 is better than TMNT2, 3 and 2k7 movies tbh.

I agree with Shark Blade. The visuals were great (it's, like, the one aspect of film-making that Platinum Dunes excels at), IMO the characterizations of the Turtles were A+, they used their weapons, and all four Turtles got decent screentime (although it can easily be argued that Raph dominated screentime).

TMNT II: no weapons (but tied with 2014 for ridiculous Shredder)
TMNT III: terrible visuals
TMNT 2k7: no focus for Mikey and Donny

But you know where TMNT (1990) wins? Faithful adaptation of the original Mirage comics, and excellent character focus on the four Turtles and Splinter, with April and Casey as supporting characters.

I... Don't remember much of TMNT 3, I've only seen it once when I was 6-9 and been avoiding it because I've heard it's really bad.

Funny thing though, It may have been my first exposure to TMNT. It was either one of the movies or one of those story book adaptations, though I am leaning towards TMNT 2 or 3.

Sadly it was as interesting and weapon heavy as the fight scenes in SotO. Only Donnie actually had a couple of cool movies with his... "Bo"

Am I the only one who think that tmnt 3 is better than tmnt 2 ? I mean apart Jim Henson costumes it was more entertaining.

At least they carried bos, katana, sai, and nunchaku instead of... <sigh>... sausages and yo-yos.

But, what are they good for if they never properly use them. They might as well just use fisticuffs, which they basically did for the most part.

TurtleTitan97 03-03-2015 02:43 PM

Not really. Both movies sucked, though I kinda felt the 2014 movie was slightly worse.

What the hell were you expecting, Ninja Turtles that actually used ninjitsu and martial arts instead of Hulk Smashing everything!? :tlol:

Powder 03-03-2015 04:47 PM

I have always loved the third movie, so my feelings on it remain unchanged.

TrickOrTreater 03-03-2015 06:36 PM

Doesn't make me appreciate the 3rd one more, but it showed me it could, and did, get a whooooooole lot worse.

TMNT 3 is just a not good movie. Pretty harmless.

BayTurtles is a stupidly awful movie.

Gunpowder 03-03-2015 07:59 PM

That reminds me - I still have to watch TMNT III at some point.

I'd say they were buffed up enough (in the PD film) to stand their ground without any weapons at all. Which was kind of stupid.

funny after watching it recently I don't get why it gets so much hate aside from the suits and lack of tmnt villians. I love it too.

pennydreadful 03-03-2015 08:13 PM

Agreed - I like the third movie just fine. I still remember going to see it at the cinema as a kid.

BubblyShell22 03-04-2015 03:39 PM

The only things that bothered me about the third movie were the designs and Splinter's voice. Other than that, it was fine and I appreciate it more knowing how horrible the 2014 movie really was.

MsMarvelDuckie 03-04-2015 10:38 PM

I'll third that- I love the third movie for its visuals (seriously, the scenery, sets, and costuming of all the human characters was beautiful), its story- which was actually pretty good- and its character moments, especially for Mikey and Raph. Mikey especially got more focus than usual in the third movie, and that made it much better than SotO for me. 2014 was okay, and I like it well enough, but TMNT III will always be my second favorite, after the original.

turtlefanforever 03-05-2015 12:09 PM

yes and no
 
It just makes everything seem better in comparison. It's ridiculous the budget this film got and it's not even 1% as good as the first film. Even with inflation. Budget isn't everything. You need people that actually care behind it.
