The better TMNT 2

~~Mew~~ · 06-18-2016, 07:32 AM

Which is better, Out of the Shadows or Secret of the Ooze?

I think Secret of the Ooze hands down. The Turtles are better, in both design and personality. April isn't just sitting there to look pretty. She actually acts! (No pun intended) Tokka and Rahzar are almost the same as Bebop and Rocksteady, but they don't use CGI and looked very good. I don't like them as much, but they weren't so bad. Super Shredder looks way better then this Shredder. He had a helmet and some blades. And he actually fought. Krang was very good in OOTS, but he was barely there!

Secret of the Ooze also had way better action figures.

I liked Out Of the Shadows better. It's now my 2nd favorite TMNT movie.

Secret of the Ooze. It's a bad movie but it's at least a bad movie that does not give me a headache.

Ooze is awesome and I love it. Some cheesy moments yet but still great

Out of the Shadows I liked, but Shredder and Casey ruined it for me.

Voted for Ooze

I love Secret of the Ooze, a fun sequel.

*Shark_Blade* · 06-23-2016, 07:07 AM

Soto is boring and uneventful, so OotS.

I enjoyed both, but I've got to give the edge to Out of the Shadows.

mikey22 · 07-01-2016, 11:00 AM

def the original

yes it sucks there is no weapon usage
but damn

there were no fart jokes

no pathetic plot lines of betrayal

you also get jim henson muppets

a little too raph is one of the best lines in movie history!

definitely better than "MY MAN"

Considering I don't have any intention of watching Out of the Shadows due to disinterest, better talk about Secret of the Ooze.

Based on the former's trailer, SOTO looks a lot better. Personally, it's my favorite Turtles look on the big screen, even more than the original 90's film at times. It introduced Tokka, Rahzar, and Super Shredder too who have all gone on to appear in numerous TMNT media, either cartoon wise for the duo or the video games for all of them. Other than that, I honestly am not a fan of the movie.

Whether it be due to a cheaper plot, the lighting hurting the film's appearance, the toned down violence and script and so on are my issues. It's not the worst Ninja Turtles film, but even with nostalgia it doesn't peak my tastes. I honestly don't feel there's been one good Turtles sequel movie in general; the only exception I can think of is TMNT. It's not the greatest piece of TMNT lore, but it's animation is rather stunning, music is wonderful, and majority of the voice actors do well.

Back on topic though, until I see OOTS, I can't vote favorably towards either.

I found Out of the Shadows to be a more fun film and better than the first Platinum Dunes. Your mileage may vary.

Longview01 · 07-28-2016, 03:20 AM

Out of the Shadows, easily my 2nd fav film now

slingtheory · 07-31-2016, 09:34 PM

I have to say soto. Sure its downgrade from the original but it's still an insanely quotable nostalgic flick that left it's mark on the franchise. You can walk up to any stranger in thier 30s today with a line from that movie and 9 times out of 10 they'll know exactly where you got it from. I'd honestly be surprised if anybody even remembers oots 10 years from now

ZacksSoUgly · 08-02-2016, 06:21 PM

As much as I liked Out of the Shadows, Secret of the Ooze is still better. SOTO hasn't aged as well as the original movie, but only time will tell if OOTS holds up in any way.

Voted for SOTO

Leolead · 08-04-2016, 09:39 AM

Uhh tie, but if I HAD to choose SOTO

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-04-2016, 06:13 PM

I liked both about equally. SotO was good but not what I expected after the first. OotS was decent compared to the previous film. Both had issues but also had their high points as well. Like R and B being actual characters instead of just idiotic "babies" doing what mama Shredder tells them. However, I liked Perry better than the new movie's cheesy version of Baxter. Story was about as good/bad in equal parts in both.

Secret of the Ooze wins, but it's still a poor sequel.

That's the best way to sum up Secret of the Ooze, LOL!

*Andrew NDB* · 10-13-2016, 10:32 PM

OotS is almost the spiritual successor of TMNT II. Both are devoid of anything resembling heart, both pander to One Million Moms or whatever and Playmates ("no weapons use! think of the chiiiildren!" "mrrrre mutants!").

That said, at least TMNT II had the TMNT looking like the TMNT. And kind of had a beginning, middle, and end.

Compared to the 2014 film Out of the Shadows was terrific.
