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

Turtle Power > Ninja Rap

I really liked it (not as much as the first movie), despite its really goofy moments. This is where I felt is was a bit more reminiscent of the cartoon, but nonetheless, a fun movie to watch.

it was good, i liked it allot!

While Secret of the Ooze isn't my top favorite TMNT film, I do enjoy watching it from time to time. It was also the first TMNT movie I ever saw.

The movie is alright, not my favorite, but alright.

I would assume the reason there's so many discussions about TMNT3 is because it sucks. Be thankful there's not threads like that about this movie. I like this movie, but obviously prefer the first. I don't like Don's voice (when I'm used to Corey Feldman), I don't like the end, and it is a lot less gritty, but I understand it was meant for kids moreso than the first was. But yes, I do like it.

haha- you are probably right- i am just glad this thread gave a place to express ♥ for SOTO... it really deserves it

The best things about it for me were (in descending order):
-Kevin Nash was in it (even though he jobbed to a bunch of styrofoam logs, he was SUPER-SHREDDER!). That guy's just the best at everything.
-I really liked the box art of the VHS cassette.
-Some of it was pretty funny, mostly due to how ridiculous it was at times, but lots of fun dialog.

Liked it a lot when I saw it the first couple times but it wasn't the follow-up I really wanted; I liked the first movie and wanted more of that universe but we never got any more of that at all. I liked what they were going for in trying to make the tone more like the cartoon at the time, but it makes it sort of dated and silly now. Like, the first movie was good without totally laughing at it, y'know? But it's ok, as its own thing, but since it's in the middle of two other movies it doesn't have a whole lot in common with, it's an odd film when watched with 1 and 3. Nothing from 2 affects 3 at all, to the point where you can watch 1 and 3 only, and it makes no difference, and I kinda prefer sequential films to have more in common, arc-wise, if only a reference here and there. But that's more a failing of the 3rd film, I guess.

It's not un-watchable but it's not the one I pop in if I'm only gonna watch one and not all three.

[EW Tattoos]

I am a big fan of all the movies

I re-watched TMNT II fairly recently and my initial opinion didn't really change - I still find it to be "meh," especially considering it's the sequel to the most solid and most meaningful TMNT movie out there - I tend to think of all the others as the equivalent of cinema-filler. Following up greatness with an overall lighter-toned, slapstick adventure isn't exactly the best idea, but the movie has its charm. I still enjoyed it, sure. But it just doesn't hold up to the first. They're not even on the same level.

One thing I really like about TMNT II though is the intro sequence with all the pizza. It totally nails the New York setting, and gets me hungry every time.

It was my favourite when I was much younger. The Secret of the Ooze was everything a kid wanted in a Turtles film. As the years passed, the first film became my favourite for a number of reasons, but TMNT II had my favourite aesthetics by a long shot - Splinter, especially, even though he looks younger than in the first flick. (And his ear grew back?) Plus, all due respect to Corey Feldman, but I like Don's voice when it's a bit more like Secret of the Ooze. Probably why I liked Sam Regel's Donatello so much.

I think my brother and I always felt that they acted more like teenagers in The Secret of the Ooze, which probably had a lot to do with my preference at the time. Now, it's much more important to me that they act like ninja.

but first and foremost, they need to act like turtles, giant ones that can talk... gotta keep it realistic after all

Agreed. I have an informal poll up on my site that pits these 2 songs against each other and Turtle Power is winning by a landslide.

Same here! And likewise in the first film, I love the establishing shots of the city that show all the hustle & bustle.

[Jester]

Turtles 1 will always be my favorite, but I still love SotO.

[mysterycolor]

for the record- when i posted "who doesnt love ninja rap" i wasnt comparing it to other tmnt related songs... was simply saying that silly music really adds to the fun atmosphere of SOTO which is what makes it so fabulous!
