Probably one of the best comic book adaptations to date. Takes a lot of beats from the Mirage universe and blends them with FW elements.

Best to Worse:

*Turtles Forever
*TMNT
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

I prefer animation and more recent stuff.

[raph27]

Best to Worst? Okay, here we go-
1. TMNT (1990)
2. Secret of the Ooze
3. TMNT (2014)
4. TMNT (2007)
5. TMNT III
I didn't count Turtles Forever but if I did it would be between 1990 and SOTO.

I must preface this by defining what I look for in a Ninja Turtles movie. Essentially it is this: Good portrayal of the turtles, gritty NYC, criminal threat, martial arts and soul. (if it was excellent writing or a clever plot my list would be very different).

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - It did a really good job of honouring the source material and defining the tone for the franchise, which had become a bit distorted by the childishness of the OT.

2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014) - The tone is right for me, the characters are excellent and the acting for the turtles is arguably better than it has ever been.

3. TMNT (2007) - Earns its place with 50% of the plot only. This film did not know or define its audience. It might have been top of my list were it not for the Winters storyline. It's the very best and simultaneously the very worst of the franchise for this reason. The Leo / Raph storyline was just fantastic and something I think a lot of us had wanted to see for a long time, the two-going head-to-head, whilst the 13 monsters plot was just garbage.

4. Turtles Forever - Pure. genius. Pure rubbish and completely meaningless to anyone who is not a fan who was aware of how dire things were within the franchise around the time it was made. But I loved it for its self-deprication and its metaphorical nature.

5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze - mildly entertaining but little or no substance. A few memorable lines.

6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 - Horrible effects, horrible acting with few exceptions, horrible plot. Its redeeming feature is that it has some good martial arts sequences.

[Duke Nukem]

1. Turtles Forever - If this counts as a movie, everything was perfect
2. TMNT 2007 - I liked seeing the turtles grown up, affected by passing years the same way as us, having to deal with grown man problems among their family.
3. TMNT 1990 - Great movie, darker than the other ones which I enjoyed, comes close to being as good as 2007 for me
4. TMNT III - Big step down from the above listed. I liked it better than II, sure the characters weren't what I was familiar with, but the action and story were marginally better
5. TMNT II - Not quite as good as III for the reasons above
6. TMNT 2014 - Yeah, it was funny, great visual effects, etc, but completely took the franchise in a wrong direction. It just barely felt like a TMNT movie.

Is the third film really as garbage as people are saying? Yeah objectively it's a poor film, but it has some positive qualities. I thought the emotional connections between Raph and Yoshi and Mike and Mitsu were pretty heartfelt. I also enjoyed that early nineties techno music. I certainly don't think of it as inferior to the recent film.

Turtles Forever
TMNT

SotO had so much potential with the origin story and the talk of making Perry an utrom, but it was too slapstick and it falls to pieces at the end with Vanilla Ice and the poor fight between the turtles and Super Shredder. There are also plenty of plot holes.

Well, to be fair, it wasn't really much of what I, or anyone, would class as a fight.

Yes, that was a poor choice of words by me. Replace 'fight' with 'encounter'.

I'm not one to bash the personal preference of other people, but it is surprising to see the 2014 movie being rated so highly by so many people. It makes me wonder how much of it is just people wanting to go against the grain.

I was gonna make a list as well, but Grodd pretty much did it the way I would have.

Or maybe because people actually like it and you just have to accept it.

Nothing to be gained than being true to yourself.

I'm not good at best to worst rankings, but I can do a summary of my feelings with thumbs. Three thumbs denotes utter awesomeness which leaves me wishing I had an extra hand so as to give it three thumbs up. Two thumbs - not perfect, but still very good. One thumb - lowest end of the goodness spectrum.

Here goes:


- 1990
- 2007


- SoTO
- Turtles 3
- Turtles Forever


- We Wish You A Turtle Xmas
- Turtle Tunes
- CoOTS
^^ If you count any of these as movies; they're not really but I feel they deserve a mention anyway - they still have their own charm, in their own special way.

Turtles Forever
TMNT
Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles 1990 - Well, I have to comment on this one because I just re-watched it on Netflix today, and... wow that wasn't as good as I remembered as a kid. I mean, it's not a bad movie, but it's wasn't technically good either; The acting was kind of bad, the lines were unbelievably cheesy, Shredder's plan was so sh*tty, the pacing was off; the story seemed rushed, and Donny and Mikey barely did anything. It just didn't hold up as well as I thought ;but nonetheless it's still a ton loads better than the 2nd and 3rd.
Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles 2014
SOTO
TMNT III

[Leolead]

New ranking:
TMNT (2007)
TMNT (1990)
TMNT SOTO
TMNT 3

[Chris]

For me;

Turtles Forever
TMNT (1990)
TMNT (2007)
TMNT 3
TMNT 2 - SotO
TMNT (2014)

Despite my mixed feelings towards the new movie, I'd take it over TMNT 3 because while the tone of this movie is inconsistent, at least it remembers not to just pander to kids. I just think the final product ended up being a bit unfinished and underdeveloped. It isn't Batman Forever or Batman and Robin bad.
