Favorite Turtles Movie? .. 1, 2, or 3? - Page 4

Space Lieutenant Josh · 05-13-2006, 01:36 PM

I like 1 the best, hands down. It's just a legitimately fantastic movie.

As for the other two, it's hard to decide. 3 would win for nostalgia value, since that's the one I watched the most as a kid. 2 is really campy, though. Vanilla Ice actually gives it extra points in my mind. In fact, I still have the 6 minute video where he talks about making the Ninja Rap.

I'd Vanilla Ice took the second movie and "made it ice" just like he said he would. The 3rd is still 3rd for me.

the first one hands down the best. loved that raph, my fave, was sort of the forefront turtle in the first film. they gave him more attention and depth than the others, and i appreciated that. also, loved the atmosphere like the wet streets and dark and stuff. elias koteas was excellent, wished he did more stuff (although he was in the prophecy and thin red line). good suits and it was cool they took the story a little more seriously.

but the second one has a special place in my heart. in my opinion, both the suits and animatronics were much better. i like that we got a serious movie with 1 and a kinda goofy one with part 2. plus ernie reyes jr. was a good actor and fighter (by the way, you seen him in the rundown with the rock. WOW HE'S CHANGED. imagine him now in a tmnt film. heh heh.)

2 was extra goofy because they got b*tched at by parents so they made it like the cartoon. You know a movie kicks butt when parents whine about it

Yeah the movies depreciate as the number grows. Lets hope this doesn't catch on for #4, though I have a feeling it will.

*Cascadia* · 05-25-2006, 10:58 PM

It is a toss up for #1 and #2...I still know where I was and what I did on the days that they came on. When I went to see the second one, I was trying out a horse then went to see the movie. I ended up buying the horse 3 weeks later, which is still alive as we I type this.

It's a tough one between one and two. I'm torn between two scenes that really make the two movies. In the first movie after Shredder falls into the garbage truck, Casey Jones grabs the lever and says, "...OOPS!" I'm almost 21 years old, and I still think that part is hilarious to no end. In the second movie at the beginning, Donatello is pushing the clown and he says, "Yeah....ye-yeah!" Another classic and hilarious moment.

So I dunno. They're both amazing to me.

~~ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael~~ · 05-26-2006, 12:27 AM

1 by far. Casey kicked ass in that one.

BlueSonnet · 05-26-2006, 05:10 AM

I'm gonna go for number 1 but i haven't seen the other 2 in ages (although i thought 3 was the weaker of the the 3)

*nods* You're definetly right, Ai. 1 and 2 are at par with each other. They're both awesome in their own way. It really is a tough choice between them because of where one was lacking in certain aspects, the other makes up for them. They compliment each other.

verminator_x · 06-28-2006, 02:36 PM

The second one, remember i was watching it before the first movie.
And i also loved the final battle between the turtles and Super Shredder.
A little sad that Casey did not show up in the second one.

~~AquaParade~~ · 06-29-2006, 01:56 PM

as a kid, Secret of the ooze was my favorite, but in the last few years it has transitioned to number 1. I think the first movie is so much more interesting to watch, and seems to have more depth than the other 2. I still like secret of the ooze, and also like how it takes place very shortly after the first movie. Sadly, last time i put in my tmnt 3 dvd, I could not sit through the whole thing. I'm hoping four will at least be my second favorite out of all.

kolby jones · 06-29-2006, 07:37 PM

the first tmnt movie was by far the best it was more real told a better story and in my opion it stayed true to the style of the comics , movie two and three went in the way of the 80's cartoon and while i love the 80's cartoon no disrespect there i just wanted the other two to be done in the way of the first one , the secound was ruined by a long sinced banished white rapper who i can't even say and the third one started off great bringing casey back was great but then they went back in time and the rest was crap

Ryzar · 07-12-2006, 11:00 PM

Hmm, this is a VERY good question!

I remember when I was younger, closer to the time the movies just came out (but not exactly the same year). I remember watching the 2nd movie a lot more. I thought it was hilarious. ESPECAILLY that first opening scene!

Like someone said here where Don goes "Yeah.. Yeaaaah!" with that clown... then Mikey stops those guys to show them some yo-yo tricks and ends with "Around The World!!!"

The 3rd movie was actually pretty good. But I really don't remember seeing it a lot especially when I was young, actually I didn't even know there was a 3rd movie untill like a few years ago. But I finally got it watched it a few times and there are really a LOT of good lines in there... Like when Raph and Don are caught by those Guards..

Donatello: Uh, o-hi-o, wasabi.
Raphael: "Hello mustard?"
Donatello: OK, so my Japanese is a little rusty. (to the guards) Uh, Suzuki, Kawasaki - (Raphael knocks them out cold)
Raphael: How 'bout, uh, "Sayonara?"

and just before that:

Raphael: Did you hear what he called me, Leo?
Leo: Yeah, an ugly lump of dung.
[casually walks away]
Raphael: That was an insult, Leo.
Donatello: Not necessarily, Raph. Did you know that in some countries dung is used as a fuel source?

Anyways... so those were both great movies.

But yes, yes indeed... The Best Ninja Turtle Movie, for me, would have to go to the first one! Just a lot of great stuff, great memories, watched it a lot, still enjoyable today!

I mean it had everything, funny lines, good action, Casey Jones dropping from a tree with a hockey mask! April O'Neil in a yellow jacket! And Shredder!!!

Turtleman100 · 07-13-2006, 11:37 AM

I Like 2 and 1 and 3. 1 and 3 has more action. but 2 is still my favorite Movie.

*Fang Wolf* · 07-13-2006, 12:10 PM

My Favo TMNT Movie is 1 and 2...^^"

Tatsu · 07-14-2006, 12:39 AM

Since this has been bumped...

1 is clearly my favorite. It's the best in every way. I love 2 as well, but part of me now wishes that it wasn't so cartoony. But I wouldn't change it if I could because that movie has helped my side venture greatly. Truthfully, i've never liked part 3. I saw it again a while ago and I still don't like it. I guess I'd just need my Shredder and Tatsu to enjoy it.

*Raven* · 07-16-2006, 05:02 PM

The first one was by far my favorite because of its gritty and dark take on the turtles, the second one is alright but I hate that they reused so many plot devices from the 1st movie....Raph runs away gets captured, Shredder captures splinter...just to many for my taste.

The 3rd film....eh, could have been way better, the story was lame and focused to much on humor.

Usagi-San · 07-22-2006, 10:59 PM

I loved the first one best.

*gobo* · 07-22-2006, 11:12 PM

1 for heart
2 for fun
3 for when I want to insult my intelligence

o_O

It's either 1 or 2. To hell with 3.

Brian · 07-22-2006, 11:24 PM

The first movie. Mostly because I grew up with that one and I still like today.

Stimor · 07-23-2006, 02:40 AM

even though i like humorous stuff, i pick the first one for its realistic take on stuff! (the second movie was actually funny, whereas the third movie was simply trying to be)
