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

[oldmanwinters]

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!

Certainly was an acquired taste.

I enjoyed that film. Although I think the Hulk gettin like 20 feet tall was kinda ridiculous.

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.

[Jester]

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

Blasphemy!

[gobo]

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.

[Jester]

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

[gobo]

... 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.

[Jester]

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

[gobo]

The sewers of New York??

[Jester]

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.

[Jester]

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

[turkishproverb]

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

That would have been pretty bitchin.

[Coola Yagami]

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

[turkishproverb]

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.
