am i alone in my ♥ of Secret Of the Ooze?

[shezcrafti]

I love SOTO despite how terrible it is. I don't even mind Vanilla Ice. There was once a time, as his appearance in this film proves, that he was the hottest thing going in music just as the Turtles were at the height of their popularity. The marketing wizard who decided to combine TMNT with Vanilla Ice must have rolled around naked in piles of money after this film.

I can't support the notion that Paige Turco was a better April than Judith Hoag, though, not even on account of looks, but to each his/her own.

now, these are just a few of my favorite things...but Secret of the Ooze is absolutely my #1 favorite... does anyone else call this one theirs???

You think just like I do!!! I agree 100%!!

I LOVE Secret of the Ooze. It's my 2nd favorite though after the initial movie. It's refreshing to me depending on what kind of mood I'm in to be able to pop in a fairly serious turtles movie (the first one) or a more silly, light-hearted turtles movie (SotO). The other two are meh..

I love the First movie And The Secret of the Ooze .... The Secret of the Ooze is actually pretty special to me because I can remember the first time I watched it.... Back when I still beleived the Turtles were real...
When the smoke bomb went off in the TCRI building I ran out of the room screaming and crying... I thought the turtles had just DIED!!!! Lol!
I can still hear my older sister yelling "Get back here you big baby"!

I didn't like the thrid movie much.

Have to say Secret of the Ooze had always been my favorite movie, still is, but the First TMNT is deff tired with it since I grew up over the years.

[Filespit]

Ooze is definitely my favorite of all the movies. I watched this one over and over as a kid and I was just as excited every single time I put it on. The first scene with the turtles, when they jump up and the title appears, still gives me goosebumps, I love that scene! As someone said already in this thread, nothing beats nostalgia! Still love the other two though.

Of course not, as it was originally my favorite TMNT film, since I was only 6 and the cartoon was still my thing, and it fit in with the cartoon more as well. I still laugh when I see people mention how either "Ninja Rap" ended Vanilla Ice's career or the TMNT's popularity, as it still went on for a few more years after this movie. Still, when continued upon the first movie, it does show those flaws we all seem to know, and this isn't the only canon to do so. It's alot like how the OT started with fighting and then became lighter and goofier a bit later on. If you like Season 4 and 5 of the OT after liking the first 3 seasons, you'll clearly enjoy SoTO after enjoying the first movie.

The cartoon was STILL your thing,pannoni? It still is my thing and the best Ninja Turtle media! Probably the biggest diappointment was the lack of weapons usage. It would have been nice to see Mike "do a little chucking now and and then". Its also a shame the film is only 88 minutes. So much happens it seems like it should be a little longer.

[TurtleMaster4]

I thought it was a great movie, not as good as the first, but still great!

[BubblyShell22]

I really liked SOTO a lot. I remember that the neighbors, my bro, sis, and I would all dance to Ninja Rap whenever it came on.

"Ninja Rap" was no different than any other Ninja Turtle-based soundtrack song.

I like Ooze. It wasn't as great as the first, of course, but it had its moments. I don't really care that they didn't use their weapons as often because it mirrored the cartoon a little more. It's more comedic and flashy, and that's no bad thing.

Yeah, the majority of the music in the movies is ****. They should have went with the indie punk/new wave soundtrack that Steve Barron wanted. The movies would have been a lot better.

[zkarlette]

Yep .. But the songs probably woudn't be engraved forever in our brain...

[Donnie]

Nahh, SotO is probably my least favorite of the original trilogy. I like 3 better because it's Mikey-based, I think the emotions were more real in 3 than in 2. There's no real emotion in 2, save Don's gripe about being accidents. Plus, if you're gonna do giant mutants and basically make it a costumed 87 toon in fighting style, dialogue, and plot, you might as well have just done Bebop & Rocksteady. Severely dislike Ninja Rap, haha, but I think movie 1 and 3 had sick soundtracks! I'll always appreciate 2 for its nostalgia, but yea, doesn't do it for me...

[Spitfire]

It's my favorite of the films. Best costumes, best voice acting, and honestly as corny as they are I liked the jokes the best too. It felt like a live action version of the OT and it worked better then the first movie for me. The first one has weird tonal issues because it's trying to deliver the comic by way of the OT. There's a lot of goofy sound effects during the fights and some overly dramatic moments that fall a little flat due to the low budget nature or some bits of poor acting. Love the film but it doesn't work as well. For me if you're gonna go Mirage then go all the way. Cutting it off at the knees did it no favors. Also Corey Feldman is a horrible Donatello.

3 is abysmal. Unwatchable. I haven't seen the film past it's first 20 minutes in about 15 years. It's almost offensively bad. It misses every possible mark.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I just wish they could bring the Utrom story into it. Dissapointing. The muragen being discovered having an alien origin shall be as natural for TMNT, as it's natural that the TMNT aren't alien themselves.

Actually I agree, as much as 3 was a mess plot wise, I enjoyed the characters more than I did in SotO.

exactly- and what kind of life would that be?

[Zarana-X]

SOTO had fantastic costumes and special effects, but the jokes and goofiness kinda ruin it. I remember frowning the first time I watched the scene wit the bop bag, and I've frowned every tiem since then. I always hated Vanilla Ice's music, so Ninja Rap cemented the awfulness.
The third movie is horrible on all accounts, other than the samurai armor, and I like the figures. The turtle's faces look like bad stop motion effects when they talk.

[Bmaga123]

I love Secret of the Ooze, its my second favorite of the movies close behind the first film
