Which is worse? TMNT 3 or TMNT 2014?

It's kind of mind boggling too that you find the need to rail on this movie you hate. I hate plenty of movies, but I just don't waste my energy on them. If I was like you, I'd be on some Thor message board somewhere railing against those movies. I'd rather talk about things I like.

I watched TMNT 3 today because of this thread, and you're insane if you think it's better than anything really... Even the Thor movies are better.

Again you are pushing your OPINIONS on people.He just gave you reasons why he didn't like it atleast respect what he had to say instead of acting like a know it all.Sigh.

Of course, why would I expect anything else? Just like Poppy, now that you've realised I'm negative on the movie, I must hate my life and be a sad angry nerd, who just doesn't like anything. I'm pathetic, I'm x, to the y to the z. But we were talking like normal, well adjusted people for a minute.

Neither compare to watching the same children's film 3 times in a row to make sure you didn't miss anything, and then bragging about it.

I've never drunk my own urine... though I did once store my own urine in a bottle for a week so I could tip it over the car of a guy who kept parking in my space.

I was... less zen in my youth than I am now.

Literally the best stage name in the business.
Also one of the best revenge gags I've ever heard. Did it work?

[pennydreadful]

Hilariously enough... it did.

They talk about it in the Turtles doc a bit. "Let's do it all again, but for less, because we'll make a lot less money on the sequel."

Interesting. There's your answer right there then.

But the first turtles movie had a smaller budget than II and III

TMNT 1990: 13.5 million
TMNT II: 24 million
TMNT III: 21 million

Apparently the budget in 2 was to pay for the services of Vanilla Ice and other marketing devices, not to craft better suits, props, stages, etc.

I feel like the suits in TMNT II were about the same as the first one. I can't tell the difference anyway

That said, I don't know how they pissed away 21 million on the third movie. My guess is someone padded their pockets at the expense of the production

[Tuxedo Moroboshi]

As disappointed as I am with the new movie, there's nothing that'll knock TMNT 3 from it's number one worst spot. Well, except for "We Wish You a Turtle Christmas", but that wasn't a movie.

[Forneus]

TMNT 2014 for all of it's faults, at least has a kickass looking Shredder and solid action. TMNT III has nada.

I'm not accusing you of being pathetic or whatever, I said based on the majority of your posts or opinions, and what sounds like you don't like any movies, was sad to me. I said I don't know you, and could be totally wrong, but from what I see here I imagine you as a very negative person. I did also say I could be completely wrong.

I just don't understand why you would waste your energy on something you hate so much, that really has no effect on your life? I used the example of me going into a Thor forum and just bashing it over and over because I hate it. If I was in that mindset I just couldn't be a happy person.

TMNT 3 was near the edge of the radar when released, but still managed to sour the remaining fans.

Filming in Japan? Or did they cheat their way through that as well?

[Traximus]

The order goes...

Ninja Turtles 2014

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

TMNT

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

At least 3's plot is kind of cohesive.

Pretty sure Henson creature shop did the costumes in SotO since the movie have a "in memory of Jim Henson" tribute.

Not only that...

Cool bit of trivia there.

The SotO suits seemed a bit more expressive, too. Looked a bit more "cartoony", but I thought they were great.

Turtles 3 plot is not bad. The only problem is that it resolves it's conflict in the middle of the movie and has to find new reasons for to justify going on longer by getting the Turtles involved is something they have no stakes in.

The reboot's story is simple. Extremely simple, but it has a clear beginning, middle, end. It lays out the stakes and what each character has to gain or lose, and doesn't lose focus. Not saying it did it all well, but it did it competently.
