Haha.

But you gotta give it at least a 9 for style

It is a tough choice...both films did a wonderful job with the characters. I would have to see the new film a couple more times in order to give a better choosing of which is better. As for now I like them equally.

Both: Wonderfully choreographed/thought out action sequences, musical scores that did a lovely job with both the action and emotional cues, and it was great to see the effort to have each film be fun for kids but have drama for the teens/adults crowd. Plus I liked the voice of Raphael in both incarnations, and each film had a grittier take/look of NYC.

1990: Excellent costumes, I truthfully like the Leo and Mikey voices better in this version, especially Mikey's. I thought the original film had not only the better story, but better villain as well.

2007: Beautiful CGI, I like Corey Feldman verym much but i actually preferred Donny's voice in this film. I guess cause I can only think of The Lost Boys when I hear Donny in the original heh (it's not a bad voice though). Plus that Leo Vs. Raph fight was in my opinion one very cool moment...if the original had a fight between Leo and Raph like that it would equal greatness

All in all a tie...not a great verdict but until I can see the new one a couple times, it's the best verdict i could give.

For instance, I could easily say that the comedy in the new movie was quite scrase, and at times, worse than the second film, but then...I don't jump on the bandwagon and toot the new movie's horn like it's a flawless, utopian paradise. I think it's a strong, excellent, character driven peice that redefined and reshaped the way comic films should be portrayed. But as a definitive interpretation of the TMNT as a whole? The hell it was.

Deal with it

Please don't call me baby. I find it highly awkward.

For me the first movie is the best TMNT movie of all time. This is just my opinion and here's why:
TMNT-2007 was a good solid film. I liked Winter's back story, the stone warriors and the whole monster thing aside from the plot holes (like how the hell did all the monsters get to New York) The animation was awesome, the Leo and Raph fight was poerty in motion and the humor was pretty refreshing. Even though the end seemed really rushed to me it resolved relatively well, especially the whole Leo Raph stuff. I give it a 7 out of 10.

TMNT-1990 was gritty, dark, funny, and the costumes were amazing. The fight scenes were pretty awesome since you have to remember that these were people in costumes so you gotta give 'em props for that. The story was fliud and there aren't any apparent plot holes (remember rats can learn Martial arts and turtles grow teeth once mutated). I liked April and Casey's interaction in this one a lot better and the rooftop battle was pretty amazing for it's day. In fact I still get goosebumps watching that scene. This gets a 8.8 out of 10 from me.
I guess that's pretty thorough so yeah.

What was wrong with the mall scene of Ooze? I thought it worked well. If you had to tack practical reasoning to it, it showed how the Turtles just didn't think they needed to hide in the shadows anymore. Also, they were just too vigilant over their dinner that they rushed into battle to save their precious pizza.

While by no means do I think Ooze was a perfect comic adaptation, it wasn't horrendous. I really didn't like when they made their cartoony comedy where you couldn't remove it from their serious plot. That really cheapened the whole experience. But, it was still an entirely fun film overall. So, where all the Ooze-hate has come from recently is a mystery to me.

If you ask me, TMNT (2K7) was a brilliant combination of the first film's dedication to theme and the second's fast-paced thrill-ride.
