The Second Movie

Kenton · 08-22-2005, 11:30 PM

I just purchased the second movie today. I thought I used to have it, probably lost it in the hassle of moving everything from my room into a new one. But I was going to buy the third one and I remembered that when I was a kid I didn't like it at all. Is it any good? I have first and second but I don't want to buy the third one if I won't like it. Especially when I have to hunt it down.

It might physically hurt you.

Kenton · 08-22-2005, 11:44 PM

That bad eh? Darn.

Space Lieutenant Josh · 08-22-2005, 11:46 PM

Well, I mean, if you didn't like it as a kid, you will HATE it now. Like, with every ounce of your being. I loved it as a kid. When I watched it recently, it was like parts of me were dying.

The third movie?...
Well, practicly the whole TMNT community will tell you to not bother wasting your money on that joke of a movie. It's bad... real bad. For starters, the TMNT look awful. They're quite unattractive in appearance and they infact kinda look like frogs.
The story it's self wasn't fantastic and is infact barely tolerable.
Casey's in it, but he has no character developement and has only a few short scenes. It was rather pointless to have him in the movie if it was going to be like that.
There's no Shredder. That is one of the biggest disappointments right there.

I can go on but I think I'll stop right there.

If you want this movie for the sake of having more TMNT merchendise, then fine, go ahead and buy it. But if you're looking for something with quality and taste, you won't find that in the third movie.

Well, it honestly ain't worse than Secret of the Ooze; most people aquired taste when the movie came out, hence the reason why everybody hates it. You have the clear impression watching it that they cut (or never filmed) a lot of scenes that would give a little unity to this farfetched scenario. But if you can stand 'Ooze, NT:TNM or those TMNT/Power Rangers crossovers, then go with it, it ain't worse (just don't pay more than 15 bucks, canadian dollars). And it has the Sacred Sands of Time Scepter™

My bet is : your enjoyment of this psychotronic masterpiece depends on what you smoke during its viewing.

You must be kidding, Jaf.

Sure, The second movie wasn't nearly as serious and mature as the first one, but it's still a great movie due to it's comedic and fun value. The third movie was just plain bad. It had no viewing value what so ever.

About 99% of the TMNT community feels the same way as me and Josh, and though I understand you're part of the 1% who actually enjoyed the movie, Jaf, it's still a great gamble for Kenton.

Kenton, your odds of enjoying this movie is pretty much 99 to 1. I wouldn't chance it if I were you.

I've always believed that if the costumes were better, this movie wouldn't catch near as much flack as it does. I actually prefer it over the second. Don't get me wrong, it's by no means great, but it isn't terrible either. I also think it'd have been better if they used Renet, Lord Simultaneous and Savanti Romero instead of Walker, Norinaga, Kenshin, Mitsu, etc. etc.

Space Lieutenant Josh · 08-23-2005, 01:23 AM

The Secret of the Ooze is the Adam West Batman of Ninja Turtles flicks. It marks the middle transition from a wonderful, well-rounded movie to a fun and cheesy movie to a smelly pile of crap.

o.k. o.k. Jaf didn't said he ENJOYED the flick; Jaf said he doesn't see it as worse than 'Ooze.

But I'll give Kenton a chance : If you can stand NT:TNM/Power Rangers crossover, now go with it (10$Canadian max.) Now, nobody is gonna tell me that this Saban delirium his BETTER than TMNT III!! Give Jaf a break! (and to think that it was «Les Mystérieuses Cités d'Or», greatest french animated serie ever, which gave that guy enough cash to move to the States!)

But you gotta admit TMNT III has some great cheezy pseudo-National Geographic footage!

Québec Gold should do it. Cheap, natural & effective

Ironfist · 08-23-2005, 04:45 AM

the third movie was kinda cool because of the prophecy that 4 demons looking like turtles would come to cleanse the land of evil.
& then our fav guys in green come in & suprise everybody.
they're were some great scenes,but this movie really is more for a friday night.

*KROW* · 08-23-2005, 09:18 AM

Get the third film, if only for Donatello's comedic relief. That's basically the only thing I like about it.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 08-23-2005, 09:41 AM

I think I have to agree with Ryona and Josh. I have the third one on VHS from when it came out but when I bought the DVDs I couldn't bring myself to re-purchase the third one. I don't think I have watched it in years cause I seriously cringe. It might be the costuming or just how I can't stand how silly they made a potentially interesting plot.
You may just want to have it because you are a fan and I won't deny to at least owning it

If you need a TMNT fix I would hope the first movie would do it for you best anyway

*Mecha Cow* · 08-23-2005, 11:18 AM

I completely, one hundred percent agree with Elite.

Anyway, if you like TMNT II, you shouldn't have much problems with TMNT III either. Just don't expect much from it.

*zkarlette* · 08-23-2005, 12:42 PM

Actually I see a lot of diference between TMNT II and TMNTIII on the second movie even if they dont get to use they're weapons that much and the brief appearance of that Ice guy... the costumes were the best and at least to me its a good movie, I like how the TMNT interact with each other ever more than the first movie ,plus the story isnt that bad ,On the other hand .....I was thinking the same thing as you why havent I bought the TMNTII movie after all this time ......well exactly this past saturday I went and got it .....just to remind myself why I haden't gotten it yet to beggin with....

as Krow says the only good thing about it is some jokes, besides that its a load of terrible acting and terrible costumes... .at least it was nice to remember that when I was a kid I went to the theather to see it and actually liked it .....It was worth the memories period ..... so If you didnt like it before you wont like it now......

spiderfreak182 · 08-23-2005, 01:53 PM

well, as for me, as a kid i didnt appreciate part 1. i preffered 2, and part 3 was second place for me. now i appreciate part 1 but its only tied to me with part 2. although part 3 is last on my list, i still laugh in it, and i think its a good movie, dispite the bad costumes (only bad if u compare).

*zkarlette* · 08-23-2005, 02:00 PM

Well those huge spots cant be mistaken or the splinter that looks like if he came out of the NM.....

Kenton · 08-23-2005, 04:36 PM

Well, maybe I will only rent it then. I am sure the local movie rentals will have it somewhere. I remember not even finishing the movie as a kid, not sure why. Maybe I will find out tonight.

Indeed on both things.
