Movies

~~Jarrah White~~ · 11-08-2003, 03:46 PM

I've read about these on the internet, three live-action Ninja Turtles movies. They're being realised on DVD the same time as the new show. Never saw these films, are they any good?

raphael90 · 11-08-2003, 04:09 PM

You mean the old movies from the 90's? Or are their new ones I don't know about? Anyhow, the old movies have already been out on DVD for over a year I think...

Anyhow, the first TMNT from 1990 rocks if you love the Turtles...I highly recommend it. Good action, humor and story. I've watched it so many times. (3 out of 5 stars)

The second movie "Secret Of The Ooze" from 1991 is good, but somewhat more cheesy IMO. The action is more slapstick and not as believable, but the humor is great! An okay story too. A turtle fan will most definitely like it. (2 out of 5 stars)

The third and last movie, III from 1992 is all right but kinda dumb at the same time. I've watched it the least, in fact I never saw it until a few years ago. Kind of a neat concept of traveling back in time but the Turtles look kinda fake IMO. Oh well, again a must see for a Turtle fan (2 out of 5 stars)

I'm gonna get poached for such lame reviews...but oh well.

Yes I am

I love the TMNT movies. My favorite is The Secret Of The Ooze.

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-08-2003, 06:02 PM

there was a new tmnt movie coming out, but the proyect has been stopped, not cancelled, we just don't know if it going to happen or not, depends on the popularity of the new series

the old movies were good, except for the third one, is not as bad as for not watching, is just not the best tmnt movie IMO, the first one is the coolest they base in the comics more than in the cartoons, its very good watch it!

I agree with these reviews. They echo my sentiments exactly.

Meira-Bates · 11-08-2003, 08:19 PM

I think I am the only one that /really/ likes the third movie @.@ still like the first better, but I really like the third as well. It's the second movie that doesn't impress me as much.

RskimB · 11-08-2003, 08:34 PM

If you have to see any of them make sure its the first, it has best action/humor/plot out of the three.

*Mars-Chan* · 11-08-2003, 08:41 PM

I don't know...I kinda like the first AND second one....
But that's just me...

Your not the only one who likes the third movie. I like it also, the first one will always be my number 1 favorite movie, and the second movie I also liked. But I thought they could have done better

Misfit · 11-09-2003, 12:48 PM

The 1st movie rocks, it couldn't have been done better. I've lost count of the times I've watched it, its just awesome. Writing, acting, fight scenes, Shredder, photography...just mind blowing.
I adore it, know the script by heart.

The second and third movie I cant' watch anymore, I gave them away to a younger cousin very recently and like to pretend they don't exist now. It's weird because with the 2nd movie there were some parts I used to enjoy, even the nightclub scene, but since the new toon came out I dunno, I just can't watch either movie sequel without feeling kind of disgusted. With the second one the hunour seemed far too forced and un-natural for my liking. The only time I like/accept overly goofy turtles is the 80s show now.

The third one I can understand, but the second? Come on, it wasn't that bad, IMO.

raphael90 · 11-09-2003, 01:34 PM

Yeah....maybe its because I remember Secret Of The Ooze from my childhood...I still like to watch the movie mainly because its just the Turtles. Yeah, maybe the humor is a little corny, but I love it!
That opening scene in the shopping mall! LOL. I love how just as Keno is about to be overtaken by those thugs, we see the Turtles coming in from behind him....love that. Action-wise, like I said, yeah that was bad. Totally unbelievable IMO. Funny thing is if I'd watched these movies in my teens I would have hated how April is a different actor on II, but for some reason it doesn't bother me, probably because of my childhood fondness of it.
I still think the first April (Judith Hoag) was the best...

**Karpo_007** · 11-09-2003, 01:46 PM

I feel the same way as Ninja girl, I can't relly watch the sequels anymore. Of course, same goes with most of the episode of old cartoon.

They do the same thing in the Bond series, in every movie the cast someone else to play Blofeld or Felix Leiter.

MW8979 · 11-09-2003, 02:52 PM

The second movie was good. It had Super Shredder in it. Enough said.

*Cascadia* · 11-09-2003, 03:21 PM

I would watch the first movie first.....it is very good. The 2nd movie is good but not quite as good.
