I know and I agree I'm just repeating what I was told when I asked Gary at the Playmates booth.

Great I'm forced to own Turtles 3. Oh well I told you guys it'd happen eventually.

*CyberCubed* · 02-09-2009, 02:40 PM

TMNT 3 > TMNT 2.

TMNT 2 is liked more because of the nostalgic campy value and Vanilla Ice.

No. I just like the costumes and jokes better in TMNT2. I could do without Vanilla Ice; and I grew up with that junk.

TMNT 2 is liked more because it has higher production value, better dialogue, better villains, and the voice acting isn't painful to listen to. Turtles 3 could be a made for TV movie.

And no one likes turtles 2 for Vanilla Ice, he's in the movie for like 4 minutes.

*CyberCubed* · 02-09-2009, 04:24 PM

That is true. I never liked the costumes in Movie 3 as much as the first two.

TMNT 3 always seemed to have a better plot overall though. As well as some good character moments with Raph/Yoshi, Mike/Mitsu, and Apri/Whit.

TMNT 2 was pretty much about Shredder taking his revenge with his own mutants, and then just winding up defeated in the end.

That I can agree with...and heck I'm a time travel nut so of course I like TMNT 3 moire than most.

At least as far as what Dan Berger and Mirage know about these collections, there will be no new extras included.

Time travel is awesome and a consistent theme in the TMNT universe but I can't be on board with movie 3 because I can't get past the way the characters all look. The turtles make the movie and if I can't get into them that's kinda it for me.

Of course if I ever get a Blu Ray player I will have to have the Turtles its just inevitable

*is glad he doesn't have Blu Ray, imagine the TMNT III Turtles (and Splinter) in HD.

Not quite. There's talk of new bonus features being included for the Blu-Ray set, but what WB seems to have absolutely no interest in is existing old material. So don't expect deleted scenes, the "Behind the Shells" feature, or even something like the music videos.

DK2 · 02-09-2009, 10:15 PM

So the dvds are coming out again as well? Or are these the ones that were shown a few months ago with the sewer lids? The set woudn't be bad for me but I have the CGI TMNT on its own already. If there are no extras I'm not sure I'll bother. I just get why the TMNT films can't have extras? Yeah the music vids and new featurettes or even old promo featurettes would still do, commentary or so, cut scenes, why not?

Ba? That would cost MORE money. Where is the logic here?

d_osborn · 02-09-2009, 11:12 PM

this has HONESTLY made my day. i have my fingers crossed that a nice, cleaned-up transfer is used. the film was shot on high ASA, grainy film... so some grain is to be expected. hope and pray for no digital noise reduction... and, of course, for deleted scenes. i mean... SERIOUSLY... if laird has them on VHS, already cut into the film! there would be MINIMAL work in capturing the footage and tossing them on the disc.

as for the BD box art... i think the faux screen-print looks FAR better than the "photoshoppy" trash we're used to. don't complain... at least they're trying to make it look nice!

Actually it wouldn't They could shoot new special features in HD which is cheaper and takes less time then trying to convert a VHS copy of something probably shot on a super 8 camera into HD. HD conversion cost money which is why every movie isn't instantly released.

turkishproverb · 02-10-2009, 12:05 AM

Barron had a reel, not VHS. The VHS was Peter. And peters wasn't shot on a super 8, from reports, but was a copy of the scenes.

And either way, special features material doesnt' have to be in hd even on a blue ray.

*Spitfire* · 02-10-2009, 12:36 AM

I was actually referring to the "Making of". At any rate I fail to see the purpose of putting lesser quality special features on a bluray disk. No it doesn't need to be HD but it would look like ass when viewed on an HDTV. Putting the extras on the DVD would make more sense and be cheaper but the issue with that is then why would you buy the bluray if it has less features?

turkishproverb · 02-10-2009, 01:00 AM

The fact is that even 16mm film translates to more than the same quality as blue ray, and the turtles were filmed in 32mm. Furthermore, when it comes to special features "incomplete scenes" are expected to be lower in quality than the film itself. Also, contrary to popular belief, unless you simply do a horrible job of connecting your player, standard definition does not "look like ass" on an HD TV, as illustrated by the fact even most cable is STILL transmitted that way, and can be viewed easily and with fine quality on an HD screen.
