TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES SET

This is a set of the original movies of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles from the 80's! All three are represented here!

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES(1990)

This is a pretty cool movie! Certainly not of the Superman
or Batman greatness, but fun non-the-less! Worth a watch
every now and then! B

From IMDb.com:

As a new generation turns 18-20 this movie was vital for
many growing up. It WAS their Saturday morning routine.
A necessary part of growing up, The Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles instilled values for a generation. Both the movie
and the TV show were key in this upcoming generation's
development and coming of age. I recently watched this
movie again for the first time in a decade, and yes it was
cheesy and tacky. However, that doesn't make it bad in
anyway. There are some complex issues going on beneath
the surface here. First, this movie was released close to
the peak of crime wave that occurred across the country
in the early 1990's. A city lost in crime is saved by a few
of the next generation's heroes, who are nothing more
than teenagers on a quest for pizza. Second, there is a
definite connection between Splinter and Jesus when
he is nailed up to a wall and talking to his "sons". Many
reading my comments may laugh because, lets face it,
the idea of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is hilarious,
but the movie spoke to a specific generation at a specific
time and as a period piece it can still be appreciated. This
was more than just a movie; it defined a generation. Even
if the movie makes no sense go with it and watch it for the
ridiculous 1990's dialogue...Its funny, enjoy! - blacknight595

Pretty much the same as TMNT 1, just a couple of
different characters! As enjoyable as the first, worth
a watch every now and then! B

From IMDb.com:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the
Ooze has oft been described as so bad it's good. I
disagree, as it fits none of the criteria: where are
the horrible lines, the bad acting, the abundance
of ham and cheese which makes many a bad movie
hilarious? Aside from those who have nostalgia for
it, Secret of the Ooze is a dull venture: the fight
scenes are boring, the characters are uninteresting,
and the story feels like only the bare bones of an
actual script.

The first TMNT movie was no masterpiece, but it was
fun and sported good fight scenes, a dark atmosphere,
and gave the characters actual personality. Secret of the
Ooze has none of this. Due parents bewailing the violence
in the first movie, the fight scenes are toned down
considerably, now filled with slapstick that's both
uninspired and ridiculous. The grittiness is eliminated
altogether, yet the film never really has a light-hearted
feel to it either, at least not in the same vein as the
enjoyably goofy '87 cartoon. Everything, including the
humor, just felt bland.

But what really hurts the movie isn't the slapstick or
goofiness: it's the characters. The turtles have become
stripped of their individual personalities; each one of
them is the same goofy, catchphrase-spewing person
(or turtle, if we're going to be technical). Splinter is given
little to do, April is given nothing to do save for looking
pretty, and Shredder proves to be less threatening than
even his '87 counterpart. The new characters, Keno, and
the mutant duo of Tokka and Rahzar, prove to be
unexciting as well. Now, I was not expecting Shakespeare
here, as it is a kids' film after all and one obviously made
to milk money, but I at least wanted entertainment, no
matter how mindless or contrived it might be. The problem
is this isn't mindless entertainment: it's just flat out boring.

So, is there anything entertaining about this film? Well,
Shredder's new costume is laughably bad. There's the
infamous scene with Vanilla Ice doing his "Ninja Rap".
Keno pulls off some cool moves. And... yeah, that's it.
Secret of the Ooze fits the description of "meh": it isn't
enjoyable, it isn't terrible, and it most certainly isn't
bad enough to be good. It's just rushed, mediocre, and
isn't likely to inspire repeat viewings. - MissSimonetta

Carrying on with the same basic story line of turtles
turning into ninjas, this one is about the boys going
back to feudal Japan and helping the oppressed!
Just as good as the first two, this one brings back
everyone from the last film with one notable exception,
Cory Feldman is now Donatello!! Good movie! B

From IMDb.com:

Originally when I saw this movie, it had only just
come out in theaters and I was just a kid. At the time,
I thought the movie was a steaming pile of crap, no
where near in comparison tot he first two. Hell, I
overlooked the inclusion of Vanilla Ice for YEARS,
insisting that even if he was in the second movie, it
was still better than the third. However, now that I
am older and a touch wiser, I've gone back and
watched all three movies (I've been on a serious
TMNT-a-Thon ever since I heard a new movie was
in the making). While I admit the third is indeed
the worst of the three, it is far from the travesty
I originally thought (and thought for years). Aside
from the silly story and the poor quality turtle
costumes, the dialog is given several moments
to shine with some surprisingly funny jokes and
one-liners and minor giggles. I'm not saying every
TMNT fan should go out and buy this. I don't even
own it myself. However, I think you should get a
few friends together, grab some snacks, some
source of caffeine, order a pizza, and rent TMNT
III for a night of absurdity and laughs. That's
what my friends and I did <3 - Sara
