For me.

Turtles 1990 was great. Still one of my all time faves movies, Jim Henson did a amazing job on the turtle suits, and I believe the turtles were real, when they were sad as when Leo felt disgrace and hurt for losing a brother, to the Jokes swap by Don and Casey. They all seem like real live talking people/turtles. Loved it.

Next is Turtles II, A bit lighter than the first, but I still loved it, the jokes were great. Loved the opening fight. Fun stuff. Shredder is out for revenge, so that had high points. And Tokka and Razor were cool, though dumb. It really made sense, the turtles were not smart when first hit with the ooze, they had to grow up, learn from there mistakes ete. But Tokka and Razor were big and strong and Shredder use that to help with his plans. And Super Shredder, that was amazing.

Turtles III is next, and yes hate me, but I do put it over the 2014 movie. I think the big flaw with MOST people is lack of a villain as cool as Shredder. Non of the villains in III were even in Shredder's class. But that didn't make it not fun to enjoy. The middle ages Japan era, the war between the classes in Japan, and the Turtles in the middle of it all. I loved the jokes, and action. I think it is a highly underrated film, and it was a blast to see in theaters. Not as great as the first or even the 2nd, but as its own movie, it was fun.

2007 CGI turtle film follows. Have only seen it 2 times though. Not much to comment expect it didn't seem like it was really the Turtle's story line, it was really that 10000 year guy's story line to redeem himself of a wrong he did ages ago.

Than just 2 days ago I saw the new movie in theaters. I enjoy it, but there was something's I had had trouble with, CGI Shredder suit look kind of of fake in combat, The origins was something I can not get over with. and the villains plan to poison the city and have some cure they hope will work, just to get rich when well they had money to burn lol. It made no sense. I did enjoy the action, and Mikey's jokes. There was a lot wrong now that I look back.

LOL @ anyone propping up Secret of the Ooze, TMNT III, or TMNT over this 2014 film. My lord the nostalgia runs so deep it blurs vision. Have any of you actually sat and watched say SOTO again in theaters? Because I just recently did. It was horrendous.

The 1990 original holds up. Even if it too was a family film, with comic book characters. It has it's darkness, and gritty feel. But it still has some flaws, just like the new one.

The 2014 film is a superhero film, with familial themes. It doesn't have darkness, or grittiness like the 1990 film. But in it's action the turtles themselves are quite brutal. At one point Raph brags as April catches them celebrating about one of the Foot's chin hitting the concrete so hard he'll be having to drink out of a sippee cup. The turles themselves are actually making a difference in the city before even the big take over the city confrontation. They're proactive.

After having seen this 3x times now in 2 weeks. It has even grown on me since. It has less flaws than you'd actually think. It feels the most plausible of all the live action films, has the most bad ass incarnation of the turtles, and the most frightening / menacing version of the Shredder and Foot Clan.

I get in the 1990 film the family aspects of the Foot is supposed to parallel the turtles. But ultimately they're petty bandits. Nothing that ruthless. In this one they are paramilitary ninja terrorists wreaking havoc on the city. Controlled by Shredder, with Sacks as a public facade front man of integrity.

They were going to unleash a chemical attack on NYC, that's crazy. Not just stealing old tvs, wallets, and letting kids smoke or eat Burger King all day. Who is the more menacing antagonist creating true conflict?

Letting it all sink in ...

1) Ninja Turtles 2014
2) 1990 Original

And the rest, apart from the animated Turtles Forever is absolute GARBAGE. Even if they're filled with nostalgia, or cute moments. Whatever plot flaw you found in the new one, the very premise, tone, and lack of intelligence in Secret of the Ooze is more offensive as a fan, and as a movie enthusiast.

*shuriken* · 08-11-2014, 09:34 PM

^^
I respect your opinion I just don't agree with it. And yes while the Turtles in 2014 were more brutal they are easily the least ninja like of any incarnation. That's like making the Hulk a ninja just because.

Well...
1-TMNT (1990)
Easily my favorite version of the TMNT, heavily influenced by Mirage comics and a little bit OT thrown in there. Plus the Turtles are actual ninjas in this one. Don't forget good ol' Casey Jones.
2-TMNT 2(1991)
Nostalgia helped this one and the animatronics seem to look better than in the 1st film. Goofy but entertaining. Also liked this Donnie way more than in 1990.
3-TMNT(2014)
I thought I was going to hate this but was pleasantly surprised. Sure the Turtles look like the bastard children of Princess Fiona and the Hulk, sure they don't do much ninjaing, sure Shredder is spiky Megatron Lite, and yes it could have used a bit more inspiration from the comics. But it was entertaining and fun and knew it was ridiculous and just rolled with it. It was fun.
4-Turtles forever(2009)
Nice little movie that has three sets of turtles kicking ass. The final scene is really great.
5-TMNT-3(1992)
It's soo bad and cheesy and just ridiculous at times with painful shifts in tone. The fighting scenes are decent tho and are somewhat enjoyable. My fave scene is when Casey takes the feudal gaurds to a club and they dance to Tarzan boy. When that's a fave scene ur movie sucks.
6- TMNT (2007)
This movie makes no sense, it's boring, it takes itself too seriously and feels like the TMNT were just thrown in there as an afterthought. If this movie was only the Raph and Leo fight scene it would be #2 on this list. CGI was beautiful, but a turd coated in gold it still a turd.

And...that's completely false. Nobody is saying TMNT II has a deep plot, but people enjoy it because its a fun and entertaining movie. Its basically the cartoons in live-action, which is enough for me.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-11-2014, 09:56 PM

But TMNT 2 is so cringeworthy... "First them...then YOU" lol.

And Keno's kinda dull; bless his heart I'm sure he's a nice guy but his character/acting didn't do it for me.

ScrewtheMirageTMNT · 08-11-2014, 09:59 PM

Keno was definitely vanilla. 100%.

Some people can be amused by some flash and bang, I need more substance in my movies then some one liners and explosions, and due to 2014 being simply that, flash and bang and no substance, it is near the bottom of the list. You're just going to have to deal with it. I seriously think people who choose the 2014 movie over the 1990 one were probably paid by PD to say so.

Seriously? *facepalm

You do not seem to understand that there are people who do not think that the tmnt 1990 movie is as good as others think it is.

*Shark_Blade* · 08-11-2014, 10:23 PM

I wish I was paid by PD. I want 1% of that $94.5 millions they've earned so far.

I'm sure there are people who think the 2014 movie is better than the 1990 movie, but I just think they are seriously messed up in the head or delusional, if not out right crazy. Or maybe they are just on drugs.

I'm a plant because I have an opinion that both have some flaws, but are near neck to neck as turtle films? What a way to dismiss my opinion with accusations and paranoia.

Why would PD have plants when the movie is already doing big numbers despite it's abysmal rotten tomatoes score? Anyway ... as I said both '90 and 2014 have their flaws. Both are the best TMNT films though. For different reasons.

'90 for the themes, and Casey.
2014 for the entertainment, and superior turtles.

Merged they'd be the perfect ninja turtle film.

I'm arguing with the rose colored nostalgia glasses folks even trying to insinuate that sequels to the 1990 movie are superior than the new one. Films way more childish, and poorly written. Without the entertainment value to off set any flaws in scripting.

Mondo_Gecko · 08-11-2014, 11:37 PM

Again, I feel I need to jump in here.

Why all the hate? Why can't people like one thing and not another. It doesn't makes us any less Turtle fans. It's like we attacked a family member. So much anger and defenses.

I have to wonder if it's the younger, 2nd Gen, Turtle fans who are just embracing the newest thing and then being passionate and protective about it.

I can honestly say, nostalgia goggles aside, that both the first and second movies aren't perfect and both have problems but they maintain the spirit of TMNT and have charm and heart to it, that regardless of the year released I would enjoy it.

Speaking of new, shiny things, Guardians of the Galaxy, released two weeks ago, is a film that embodies charm, heart, wonder and fun. Is it the best movie ever? No, but it embodies something truly special. I can't say the same thing about the latest TMNT movie.
