Favorite Turtles Movie? .. 1, 2, or 3? - Page 5

Leonardo87 · 08-04-2006, 11:49 AM

1 was the best (as we all agree on that cause it was closer to the original comics) 2 was ok, not as intense as 1 but, i give it a thumbs up, 3, ... lol, it was trying to catch up with 1 cause of usage of their weapons, they should've sticked to Jim Henson's Creature Shop for the costumes, they were too shinny green, for instace, Leo and Donny's bandana color were different, in 1 and 2 Leo's was like a light blue but they made it a darker blue and Donny's was dark purple in 1 and 2, on the 3rd, it was light purple (did anyone notice this besides me?)

sorry for the double post, my computer was being a pain, i didn't know it went through or not

Thought this was a pretty cool pic.

My favorite used to be TMNT2, because of Tokah and Rhazar (sp?) and the mutant vs mutant thing. Vanilla Ice made it classic. He's to this day, my favorite rapper.

Later, I realized that TMNT1 was cooler, because my tastes drifted. I appreciate the first movie for it's gritty, darker feel. The TMNT fought crime, not just ninjas.

I wish that the movies had full use of weapons though... Only in #1 did Leo's blade draw blood. And that was under-done, at best. (Splinter's ear-lopping doesn't count.)

I hope that the new movie will include the weapons as functioning items, rather than comedic tools as the 2nd did.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

What made TMNT2 classic for me was the fight in the mall and Shredder's freaky-deaky helmet.

Well you see, Draconic Sir, because the TMNT movies were aimed at KIDS, like a lot of us were back then, they wanted a movie that the whole family could go to and not feel it was too violent, or awkward so naturally they didn't show most of the weapons used at the most dangerous capacities.

I mean basically Donatello really got the most use out of his weapon because they didn't mind showing him using the Bo to knock people in the head or over the back with. Mikey could use his nunchucks fairly often in combat because they would just knock the enemy back...

But of course Raph with his Sais and Leo with his Katanas could not use the sharp parts of their weapons to stab or slice enemies or else the movie would probably have to be rated PG 13 perhaps Rated R if they really got serious about it.

I'm 20 now, and I STILL appreciate the fact that in the TMNT movies they still found ways to use their weapons effectively but not in such a violent fashion.

Ah, well, as a fellow 20 year old, I have to say that at the time, I probably wouldn't have appreciated so much the blood and gore, as I would today.

However, I sure hope that the movie is geared to entertain fans of all ages, and certainly not primarily intended to leach off of the new TMNT series's fans... Oh well.. wishful thinking I guess...

I enjoyed the third movie the most, it had a very original storyline and tried to be different from the Shredder plots of the first 2. And it had important moments of spiritual/emotional growth for a few of the characters which appealed to me. But I enjoy all three movies, especially Raphael, Splinter and Casey.

comet_an_me · 11-13-2006, 11:12 AM

I like the 2nd movie quite a lot, however i was very disappointed that we didn't see much of the tmnt's weapons. Well...we saw Dons bo staff quite a bit but thats it. Mikeys Nunchukas were swopped for salarmie* (spelling) we saw Leo grab the handles of his katanas in pepreation for battle and Raphs sias were used for chatching pizza in aprils appartment, lol.

But the first is my all time fav

The third i was just like "huh..."?

Krang's Uncle · 11-13-2006, 12:01 PM

I think the first one was the best one story wise, but i think the second film was visually more appealing. The third one has its moments, but i think its overall plot could have been much better. Without a doubt the poorest of the three movies in my mind.

Demero · 11-13-2006, 12:10 PM

In your mind, so eloquently put. Then you at least respect that not all fans dislike the third entry.

Wow. It's oddly refreshing to hear someone who actually doesn't despise the third film. Props to you, my friend.

*Warhorse* · 11-14-2006, 08:26 PM

I like the first one the best, had the best action and a more "realistic" feel to it than the other two.

However, I agree with the many on here, in that I think the costumes were better looking in the second, and The Secret of The Ooze had some funny moments, like Donetello not quite feeling the hang of tearing off duct tape off of people's and Raph's faces.

The third, while the costumes were not so good, the story I thought was intriguing. And I'm a big horse lover, and to see the Turtles give it a try on the steeds was a great treat.

*Duke* · 11-15-2006, 07:06 AM

When I was younger Secret of the Ooze was my favorite, but as I've aged and my tastes have changed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Movie is definately my favorite.

Ra · 11-18-2006, 01:24 AM

My favorite is definatly TMNT 1. It seemed to be a bit "darker", which I like. Besides, I prefer it's take on Master Splinter than number two. Splinter looked like he went through the wash or something (O_o) I also liked seeing Casey in the first movie. Man, I love that crazy vigilante

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-18-2006, 10:27 AM

I have yet to see 1, but I will when I get the three DVD-Set for Christmas

But for now my favorite is #3....followed closely by 2, although it wasn't as serious as I would have liked...
