Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
You can chalk it up to good timing and a heavy dose of video-game synergy, but this 1990 hit remains the box-office champ of independent films, with a total gross of $135 million. Of course the Turtles began as a phenomenally successful Nintendo video game, so it was a given that the movie would be a hit with its target audience of rabid young video addicts. This is what comic books fans call "the origin story," in which we learn how a foursome of small turtles were mutated by a green radioactive goo and turned into human-sized turtle crime fighters. Their large rodent mentor, Splinter, teaches them to master the martial arts. They're also gifted pop musicians, by the way (think of them as amphibious Spice Guys), so they can rock the house while they're cracking a crime wave with the help of their cute friend and television reporter April O'Neil (Judith Hoag). The script is terrible, of course, but countless millions of children don't seem to care, as long as the Turtles keep ordering pizza and dispensing their wisecracking brand of justice. --Jeff Shannon

Wonderful.......2007-06-09

These three movies are the best. Talk about returning to your childhood. I loved TMNT and I was sad that I never saw much of them anymore. Now, I can watch them whenever I want. It's a great deal, well worth the money.

Ninja Turtles boxset DVD.......2007-06-08

I love the turtles and nothing is better than having all three live action films in one boxset. Highly recommended for those turtle fans out there!!

The nostalgic only need apply.......2007-06-06

TMNT 1: Nice and dark, had a slight tang of the comic books while staying kid-friendly (for the most part). Animatronics aren't so hot, but admit it -- you're not watching it for special effects anyway! The story is wonderfully goofy: basically setting up the TMNT vs. Shredder, but including such ridiculous themes as ninjas corrupting NYC's easily addled youth in a coordinated effort to steal wallets and random valuables (no doubt to add to Shredder's impressive wall of televisions). But don't let that turn you off... it's a fun flick because it's so delightfully campy, and you can't go wrong with it.

TMNT II: TMNT II is not as dark and contains about 90% more cheese than #1. This said, I enjoy TMNT 2 just as much as I enjoy TMNT 1, just for different reasons. Perhaps because it reminds me so strongly of the Saturday Morning cartoon -- it has such a good heart and is so ridiculous that you can't help but come away from it feeling pleasant. Better yet, I feel they tried to include all of the Turtles instead of focusing so much on Raphael. The humor hits the mark almost every time: who can forget lines like "Too Raph!", and how can one not erupt into laughter when a stunned Shredder is warmly embraced by his idiotic mutant cronies? The animatronics/suits look great -- they're easily the best looking in the trilogy. Can't go wrong with the simple story, either -- it hits the right key with some mutant mayhem in the forms of Tokka and Rahzar, mutants who Shredder creates to defeat the Turtles. The most important and enjoyable part: "Ninja Rap." Need I say more?

TMNT 3: I never watched this as a child. So when I got the 3-Pak in, I decided to try it out. Unfortunately, it's terrible enough to burn your eyes out: the animatronics/suits are downright awful (the Turtle suits look like they came out of one of those egg machines in the supermarket), the dialogue is goofy, the plot is cheap and idiotic - well, I guess if I were more subjective, I could say that about the other two movies, but at least those campy plots fit with who the TMNT were. This one departs from the TMNT with gusto: they are transported to feudal Japan (utterly out of their element -- part of what makes them interesting is the idea that they could be lurking unseen beneath your feet in a sewer somewhere), where they are accepted by a whole Japanese village with open arms (despite that much of their allure is that they are pariahs), and some villains who are goofy rather than threatening (come on: Shredder could rip your face off... Tokka and Rahzar could throw a 200-pound Turtle thirty feet in the air... and then in TMNT 3 you have a shrimpy daimyo with the wide-eyed gaze and shakes of a chihuahua and some pasty-faced gunrunner with finches). I would have felt cheated had I not realized that you're essentially paying only for TMNT 1&2. 3 was thrown in as a gag, I suppose.

Overall: 3 aside, this is a collection you can't do without. The nostalgic value alone is monumental. And the movies are still enjoyable for kids of all ages - ideal for passing on a little of that TMNT bug to future generations! Definitely a must-buy for any TMNT fan, young or old.

Amazon.com

The 1987 debut season of the wildly popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' first animated TV series finally arrives in its entirety on this single disc. And while it's a pleasure to have these long-unavailable episodes in DVD format, the set's lackluster presentation and paltry extras also make it a disappointment for those hoping for a more expansive release. Volume One contains the five-episode "miniseries" that comprised the debut season and explained the Turtles' origins; the episodes are presented with opening and closing credits, though offered as single chapters on the disc. The "bonus" material is four episodes from the series' tenth and final season, which were largely unseen in the U.S. (though some U.K. viewers may have caught them). While interesting from a completist perspective, their inclusion clashes somewhat with the first-season episodes, as the series' look and tone had changed considerably by this point. And when combined with the disc's overall lack of quality picture and sound (video masters appear to have been used), Volume One represents something of a missed opportunity for TMNT fans; however, having the first season on a single disc may be an acceptable trade. --Paul Gaita

Nostalgia kick.......2007-05-15

I was surprised and pleased to find this on amazon, as I haven't seen the series since I was little. I used to watch it every afternoon after school. Brought back some memories.

Ahh, childhood.......2007-05-12

I'm glad I was able to find this. I enjoyed every episode and look forward to getting more. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed.

An absolute classic cartoon revived on DVD!.......2007-04-15

I grew up watching TMNT, and was delighted when the DVD release of the original series was announced.

This release features the entire first season from 1987. This can be a little misleading, as the first season only consisted of 5 episodes: "Turtle Tracks", "Enter the Shredder", "A Thing About Rats", "Hot-Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X" and "Shredder and Splintered". Over the course of these episodes, we see many Turtles favourites introduced; Shredder, Krang, April O'Neil, Bebop and Rocksteady, even minor characters like General Tragg that were known best for their action figure counterparts!

To compensate for the short first season, a bonus four episodes from 1996's Season 10 (which never made it to British TV screens) are included: "The Beginning of the End", "The Return of Dregg", "Monster From Dimension X" and "The Day the Earth Disappeared". While these episodes are quite interesting to watch from the perspective as someone who only saw the first couple of seasons of the show as a child, they don't have the same magic that the old episodes had; the animation looks a lot cheaper, like many modern cartoons, and much of the humour from earlier episodes is absent.

Unfortunately, there are no documentaries about the cultural impact the show had or anything along those lines, which would have been very interesting. The only bonus features are the extra episodes.

I personally hadn't seen the first couple of episodes until buying this set, since the craze reached my school a few episodes in. An interesting note about the first season is that the episodes follow a linear storyline, and the episodes are sequential (some taking place directly after the events at the end of the previous episode).

The DVD picture quality is good. The quality is crisp, considering it is a cartoon from 1987. Some imperfections can be seen fairly frequently, though this is probably due to the age of the cartoons and the quality of the original broadcasts and not due to poor production values, as the 1996 episodes are much crisper quality. Sound has the slight imperfections that you'd expect from a cartoon from the 80s, and is completely listenable.

Menus are excellent, featuring great airbrushed art very typical of original Turtles merchandise and artwork from the late 80s and early 90s.

The DVD comes in a case within a foil-enhanced cardboard sleeve featuring some great artwork of the Turtles emerging from the sewer in the airbrushed glory of 1980s, cartoon New York. This is the most attractive of any of the DVD releases so far. Artwork quality on subsequent releases decreased significantly.

A fantastic trip down memory lane, and well worth the price!

TMNT Rules!.......2007-04-06

I love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and grew up watching them every Saturday morning. I think they are the reason for my fascination with ninjas. Anyways these episdoes are classic and I somehow remember them from almost 20 years ago. If you are a big fan like me this is definitely worth adding to your DVD collection.

A Must-Have for Fans, But Remains Light on Content.......2007-03-31

The season that started the phenomenon. Going back to see the original five episodes of season one of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brings back memories of my childhood. For the Turtles collector, this is the quintessential DVD that begins the whole series and, for that reason, makes Volume 1 a must-have. Unfortunately, while the original five episodes from season one are all included in their classic glory, they are about all this very simple DVD has to offer.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Original Series Volume 1 begins with the premiere episode "Turtle Tracks," and introduces us to April O' Neal, The Shredder, and more importantly, the Turtles themselves. The following four episodes all center around the introduction of the Turtles and Shredder's incessant plots to make them all into turtle soup, all culminating in the season finale, "Shredded and Splintered." Fans will appreciate the preservation of all five episodes, and seeing as how these are probably some of the most important episodes to the series, fans will surely want to pick this up.

Unfortunately, five episodes are all you're really getting here. There are an additional four episodes from season ten that never aired, but their inclusion is strange. I personally never saw the later seasons of the show, and the bonus episodes all focus on Lord Dregg whom I had never seen up until now. There's no real explanation for some things, and for the most part, the bonus episodes remain uninteresting compared to the main attraction of this DVD. What would have made more sense would have been to start with the first couple episodes of season two. Still, even with the lack of substance and the very plain DVD presentation, Volume 1 will find its way to the Turtle fan's shelves because of the original five episodes.

Ninja Turtles.......2007-06-09

My 3 1/2 year old son LOVES this DVD and it has almost 3 hours of episodes so he never gets bored whenever he gets the chance to watch (which we try not to make too often.) DVD arrived in great shape.

great to have,but the qual?.......2007-05-17

awesome that these are available,but the transfers are iffy.choppy n stuff,but at least the fans can see things they haven't tripped out on for years!

Just as good as it was 20 years ago!.......2007-02-11

This DVD contains all 13 episodes from the second season of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series from the 80s. And if you grew up on these shows, like I did, then you will be pleasantly surprised to see them here "again for the first time."

Obviously the cartoon is geared towards kids, that's why we watched it two decades ago when we were kids. For the reviewers complaining about the poor drawings and lack of action, what did you expect? Were you a brilliant cartoon critic when you were [...]? No, but I bet you appreciated the ninja turtles for what they are.

For a little under $9.00 on Amazon, you can get all 13 episodes from the second season. I can't think of a better deal than that. Unlike other shows from the 80s that have lost most of their appeal today, the stories are still interesting and the jokes, while lame, are lame enough to still be funny. The opening sequence with the theme song is just as exciting today as it was when the episodes were originally aired.

These episodes contain some great stuff. Shredder comes back from Dimension X to destroy the turtles by Krang's demands. Baxter Stockman is freed from prison, and eventually becomes the mutant fly we know him as. Bebop and Rocksteady show up again. April O'Neill gets mutated into a catwoman, Splinter gets a brief stint as a human again, Napoleon Bonafrog (and three other mutated frogs are created), the Neutrinos appear for an episode, and Shredder launches all kinds of bumbled attempts to attack the turtles, before Krang ultimately comes back from Dimension X in the Technodrome.

Children of the 80s, don't miss this DVD!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.......2007-01-09

This is the old series which aired on TV in the eighties. My 22 year old daughter thinks it's great that her seven year old brother is now watching one of her favorite cartoons when she was little! Although he says the turtles in this series "look like babies", because he is accustomed to the sleeker, more modern look of the turtles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-Fast Forward, which is what is airing on TV now, he nevertheless enjoys the old series and owns volumes 1-4. I consider them money well spent!

I would have given this 5 stars, but the dialogue from the old series is really silly and not as well-written as the more recent 2 series and the movies which were geared to entertain adults as well as little kids.

Lifeless .......2006-11-17

Couldn't agree with the previous reviewer more.

I was one who grew up on The Ninja Turtles, being a child of the 80's, and even to this day, I have very distinct, lucid memories of some of the shows moments... After watching most of this DVD, though, I've come to the realiziation that (as far as I can deduce) most of the stunning moments of animation artistry that lie dormant in my memory are those found namely in the show's first season. What I recall of them is that they were bold, climactic, serious, and slick. Dramatic, even. PERHAPS my mind is deluding me, but I know this -- they were in no way fathomable as putrid or inane as the episodes here.

Just nothing of appeal here. Everything is so, ahem, goofy. Like, fruity (using that with no homosexual connotations...) Everything just feels off, and for the very worst. The plots are non-existent or just downright idiotic, and I have no intention of placing some sort of demand on quality plots here... There's just no scope to any of them, so who cares? Again, everything just feels... commercialized? I don't want to say that, though, because it seems like a much worse transition than to being merely for popular consumption; it feels for some reason what I figured the show would feel like by season 5 or so, after it had hit its peak and been taken over by a different crew and being set up for a changing demographic. The pitches of the voices seem higher. The turtles' faces seem extra round and... like... cheery-bright-prozac-happy faces. The only thing that retains some likeliness is the music, with the synthesized droning I came to love and associate with the show over time.

Hmmm.....it's like... You ever see Don Bluth's "The Land Before Time" or "An American Tail"? Then proceeded to see one of the horrendous sequels? I think this can apply for a lot of animated feats, actually. This is just what I feel like... Almost EVERY lick of substance that at one point existed in the show is null, void with season 2.

But I'm somewhat perplexed because it's season 2... The show just started. I had no intentions of watching this one before checking out Volume 1, but through a mishap I ended up receiving it instead, so I'll be sure to check out 1 soon... Hopefully my nostalgia is not completely warping me and there are in fact goodies to be found within other episodes in this series... Because while this DVD is harmless, I can't imagine anyone but the youngest children will find it bearable.

Some days it DOES pay to come out of your shell!.......2007-02-19

For a little under $9.00 on Amazon, you can get 12 episodes from the third season. I can't think of a better deal than that. Unlike other shows from the 80s that have lost most of their appeal today, the stories are still interesting and the jokes, while lame, are lame enough to still be funny. The opening sequence with the theme song is just as exciting today as it was when the episodes were originally aired.

Volume 3 contains episodes with Irma becoming a giant, Splinter and Shredder switching bodies, Donatello mimicking Humphrey Bogart for an entire episode, Shredder reversing the effects of gravity, April being mistaken for a princess, and a young kid becoming the "fifth turtle". Although the plot setups aren't quite as good as in seasons one and two, they still play nicely to those of us who grew up watching them.

Like the other TMNT Season collections, this DVD has no extras, but really 12 episodes is enough of a treat in itself.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.......2007-01-09

Great DVD.......2006-12-30

I really can't remember the episodes as a child, but I do remember that I would sit down to watch the Ninja Turtles; they were my favorite back then and still are now as a teenager. Out of the first three volumes, volume three is my favorite; I find the episodes a bit more entertaining for some reason I can't explain. I enjoyed all twelve episodes, particularly "The Fifth Turtle". I recommend this DVD for anyone who wants to sit down, relax, and enjoy a nice set of cartoons.

The originals on DVD!!!.......2006-10-23

I loved this cartoon so much as a kid and now I get to enjoy these DVDs. I know, we're all a little disappointed that the whole seasons arent being released. I guess there are no plans since they keep putting out the "best of" volumes. STILL...it's awesome to have such an amazing series being released, however the format. I'll take as many best ofs they can throw at me! We can't control these companies, so we can make the best of it. 12 is a nice number, and these 12 from season 3 are some of the best of the whole series. Standouts include "The Old Switcheroo", when Shredder and Splinter swap places, "Enter the Rat King", where Splinter is put under this new villain's control, and "April Fool", where April is mistaken for a princess and kidnapped by Shredder who plans to use her for ransom to get a rare diamond. Part of the show's enormous success was due to the extremely likable characters. The turtles, of course all have distinct personalities. Their master,Splinter may not share in their love of pizza but he can whoop up on the foot clan and whip his students into shape, both physically and mentally. Their best friend April O' Neil is one of the best loved tough heroines since She Ra. Even her fellow reporters at Channel 6 are just as important to the series, usually adding comic relief. Check the Rat King episode where lonely desperate for a man Irma insists the Rat King capture her instead of April! Even a maniac will reject Irma, and you can't help but love her. Where is the Irma action figure by the way? As for the villians, the standards are Shredder, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, along with an army of foot and rock soldiers. The writing is razor sharp and very clever and the bad guys's constant bickering will keep you in stiches, especially the exchanges between Shredder and the brain-inside an android Krang. In one episode, Krang mentions he doesn't leave the technodrome without his "alien express card"..LOL! Another cool thing I've always loved is the music! Aside from the theme song, there are nice bits of music that builds up the tension or excitement. The show had a knack for an eerie synth-dramatic sound. It's brilliant. Parents, if you're concerned about the violence, I wouldn't be. Like He Man and the Masters of the Universe, there are messages and lessons to be learned, although not made as blantantly as He Man did at the end of every episode. Aside from the 80's -surfer dude speech of Michaelangelo, the series is not dated at all and is fresh as a brand new pizza. Sink your teeth into these! Keep 'em coming!

12 episodes of one of the best TV shows ever.......2006-09-13

Sure it is one of the best cartoons ever, but it seriously is one of the best TV shows that have ever been made. All 12 episodes are great. The rat king was odd but still all of these are GREAT episodes. The volume 4 disc has some duds but the first 3 volumes ALL have great episodes. So you are probably thinking about picking this thing up, mondo notion dude.

The last volume of Lionsgate as they plan to release the rest of eps of TMNT in season sets instead of individual volumes.This one ends the Season 3 and the last ep Plan 6 from Outer Space have diff ending credits and it's marked copyright 1990.The eps mainly focuses on the rising of the Technodrome from the center of Earth to the surface and the conquering of the world by Krang which fails due the incompetence of Bebop and Rocksteady.In the last ep the Turtles won a trip to Europe grom a Pizza brand ad thing that we won't see until season 7.I'm waiting to see the 4th season sets.

TMNT are back.......2006-12-12

Finally, the last episodes of season 3. These episodes are just as good as the ones on volume 5, if not better. The last 3 episodes of season 3, "The Big" three-part story arch, has to be the best story of the entire run, giving an excellent conclusion to the best season of TMNT. Volume 6 also has the first episode of season 4 and that episode takes place right after The Big Blow out and sets the stage for the european vacation story arch. As great as the three-part-finale is, there are also other great episodes, the most notable episode is Shredderville, which is a rather darker than usual, alternetive reality-based episode. Very enjoyable and a fan favourite. Other great episodes are The Great Boldini, The Missing Map and The Turtle Terminator, which is a very silly but hilarious episode, sort of a guilty pleasure. Many recurring characters return, like The Rat King, Baxter Stockman and General Tragg. The Shredder and Krang are also as brilliant as ever. I recommend Vol. 6 for fans of TMNT or just any fan of good entertainment.

Season 3 finally finishes.......2006-12-11

It may not be the longest running cartoon or children's program, but you have to admit, the original Ninja Turtles show definitely is a rarity in the animation world: not only did it total an impressive 10 seasons, but a respectable 193 episodes as well. Vol. 6 finally wraps up the show's 3rd season (at this point, the series was still in syndication and not on Saturdays), with some fun episodes like Shredderville which features the Turtles stuck in a nightmarish alternate-reality where Shredder rules Manhattan, all mutants are outlawed, and an unstable Technodrome is stuck in the middle of town and threatening to explode at any second; Bye Bye Fly, which brings back Baxter Fly for yet another confrontation with the mutants; and the Turtle Terminator, in which the Turtles fight a killer robot duplicate of Irma(this episode also features Hal Rayle and Greg Berg performing the respective roles of Raphael and Donatello instead of the usual Rob Paulsen and Barry Gordon). Best of all, some of these episodes are actually new to me. There were a few episodes that I sadly missed when I watched it back in 1989, so I'm thankful for the DVD release so I can finally see these for the first time.

Season 3's finale marked another multi-part arc, this time a 3-parter that notably has the words "The Big" at the beginning of each title. As we remembered at the end of season 2 (aka vol. 2), Shredder and Krang's giant mechanical moving fortress, the Technodrome, escaped Dimension X, only to wind up being buried in the Earth's core and left low on power, thus keeping it from escaping its prison. The past season focused on the bad guys trying to find an energy source to restore it to its full strength. Now, the Technodrome has at last been restored to normal (thanks to Bebop and Rocksteady of all characters!), and the Turtles must now stop it with the fate of the entire planet hanging in the balance. Part 2: The Big Break-In is another episode I've never seen before, so I'm really happy to finally see all three parts in order. (I actually saw part 3 first, so I was shocked to see the Technodrome suddenly pop up out of nowhere).

The final episode, as well as the first episode of the show's 4th season, Plan 6 from Outer Space, notable for its title sendup of the infamous Ed Wood film Plan 9 from Outer Space, serves as not only an epilogue to the 3-parter but a lead in to the next arc as well. At the end of the episode Michelangelo winds up winning a vacation in Europe, which sends the Turtles vacationing throughout the country for the next 10 or so episodes. However, although these episodes were made, they didn't air until the show's 7th season. Whether these will wind up on vol 7 in production order or on a much future volume in airdate order we'll have to wait and see.

I'm happy that Lion's Gate is at least getting better at bringing the releases out (as opposed to where we had to wait a year for the second volume!), and unlike Disney's multiple Disney Afternoon-era DVD sets, the quality and menus are at least decent, although I still wish we had some sort of bonus material. Still, the low price range and the fact that it has 2-4 times the amount of episodes most single DVD sets have still make it a good pickup, especially if you've been a huge fan of this show like myself.

Despite a few new cartoon voices, this volume is still tubular.......2007-02-21

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 4 has some great stuff on it. Baxter Stockman comes back (along with the Rat King), Casey Jones is introduced (sounding like a breathy Clint Eastwood), Shredder thinks that he's Michelangelo when a duplicating experiment goes wrong, an alien tourist almost almost sucks up all of New York with his camera, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Leonardo are given a love potion and fall in love with Irma, while Rocksteady falls in love with April, and Shredder and Krang flood the city and send a giant squid after the turtles.

Every episode on this volume is classic. The one drawback to this collection is that on a few episodes some of the characters have different voices. Most notable are Donatello and Krang, who get terrible replacement voices for a few episodes.

But overall, these episodes will really remind you why this show was such a hit in the late 80s-early 90s and why we loved it so much as kids. If you watched this show at all, these episodes will bring it all back. There's plenty of cheesy jokes and ridiculous action.

And if you're looking for (not so) sneaky subversion, in one episode after Shredder throws a smoke bomb, Michelangelo looks right at the camera and quips "Dude. I hate it when people smoke and run." That's the stuff that makes children's cartoons into classics!

Great Price, Great Episodes........2006-11-18

There isnt really much i can add that hasnt been said already. Extras would be cool, yet without them, they keep the price extremly low. Usually a series on DVD with extras would cost as much as 2 DVDs without extras. I personally would pefer 2 DVDs instead of 1 with extras, so i am thankfull the ninja turtles DVDs are cheap.

I dont know why some reviewers state the show is "still very-watchable", i disagree, i think the show is brilliant and each episode is more times than not a gem. Im 25 and i watched the Turtles at the peak when they first came out, i still find them very entertaining and this volume continues the trend. "Leatherhead: Terror of the Swamp" & "Casey Jones - Outlaw Hero" are very good episodes and are terrific charaters that appear in later episodes.

Volume 4 hasnt got THE best set of episodes, yet while it has some very ordinary eps it also has some great ones. You are still going to be very happy with this purchase.

Original Turtles.......2006-08-01

I definately enjoyed this DVD, but it helps when you grew up watching it. This is not the best set of episodes in the series by any means. The first season had the best five episodes by far, but the episodes do get better after this lull. The next volume will get better (I think they got new writers) and from then on it's smoothe sailing until about season 8 or so when they get rid of shredder and the you know what hits the fan.

There were some bad sound tracks on this DVD notably Krangs voice in Green with Jealousy. And it doesn't have any special features either.

Personally I loved this DVD and have every intention on buying every volume to come, but that's cause I'm a hardcore fan. I don't need special features. I just need more episodes and an affordable price.

If you liked the turtles but you weren't a huge fan, then buy Volume 1 and wait to buy volumes 5+.

Cowabunga! Awesome Turtle Power Dude!!! .......2006-07-11

I purchased this for my 6 yr old son because he absolutely loves TMNT and because I feel the originals are better oriented for smaller children. The newer TMNT versions that are on Saturday mornings or on DVD seem to be more violent and geered towards older children. As for my son's review of these originals: he says "Cowabunga, Turtle Power!!!"

Volume 5 contained the first Lotus Blossom episode, the female Ninja that Leonardo gets smitten with. Michaelangelo's Birthday is yet another Mikey gets kidnapped episode, but the scenes with Shredder and Mikey are just so hillarious. Good episodes. I bought these DVDs and do not regret it.

You can chalk it up to good timing and a heavy dose of video-game synergy, but this 1990 hit remains the box-office champ of independent films, with a total gross of $135 million. Of course the Turtles began as a phenomenally successful Nintendo video game, so it was a given that the movie would be a hit with its target audience of rabid young video addicts. This is what comic books fans call "the origin story," in which we learn how a foursome of small turtles were mutated by a green radioactive goo and turned into human-sized turtle crime fighters. Their large rodent mentor, Splinter, teaches them to master the martial arts. They're also gifted pop musicians, by the way (think of them as amphibious Spice Guys), so they can rock the house while they're cracking a crime wave with the help of their cute friend and television reporter April O'Neil (Judith Hoag). The script is terrible, of course, but countless millions of children don't seem to care, as long as the Turtles keep ordering pizza and dispensing their wisecracking brand of justice. --Jeff Shannon

Very under-rated movie!.......2007-06-19

Growing up a fan of the TMNT, I of course saw the movie when it was first released. The thing about this film watching it now that I am an adult; it's still a very fun movie to enjoy.

I sat down recently with a few of my college buddies and we watched this film as we all grew up as fans of the cartoon. All of us remembered watching it when we were little and we wanted to gain a new perspective of it.

The movie is just down-right funny! It truly is. The character of Casey Jones just adds so much comic relief to the movie, and it gels perfectly. Along with the humor is the basic premise that stays true to the cartoon version, but also delvs a bit deeper. Here, we learn the true background of Splinter and just how exactly he relates to Shredder.

Another thing I like about the film is the fact that each character got their own very unique personality. Another reviewer described the turtles and their traits so I'll spare you that grief, but the character of April is also right up there. I was very happy to see that the character of April was really her own person, separate from the turtles. She knew when to stand up for herself and she knew when to lie low.

If you're looking for a movie that has action, cheesyness, and humor; than this is it. This is a movie you can enjoy no matter how old you are and believe me you'll be quoting it for days afterward!

turtle power.......2007-06-08

wonderful movie to share with the kids and the turtles seem so real- maybe they are

4.5; chalk one up for good nostalgia.......2007-05-01

Back in the day, I was a huge Turtles fan. From the cartoon to action figures and whatever Turtle-y stuff was out there, it was usually mine. Of course, like all successful franchises, it gets made into a movie. Spawning 2 sequels and a surprisingly good CGI feature outing, the original is still one of those kind of films where you can't figure out if you're laughing at what you used to like or if it's just actually a good movie. One of the most successful independent movies around, it's still a solid piece of entertainment.

The city of New York has just been hit with a massive crime wave with reports of teenagers stealing anything and everything, as well as sightings of weird masked ninjas and thefts happening quite stealthily. News reporter April O'Neal has been making it her business to inform everyone which of course attracts unwanted attention. In come 4 mutated human-sized ninja turtles, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michaelangelo who decide to take the fight to the ninjas, dubbed the Foot Clan and their leader, the Shredder. With the guidance of Splinter, the Turtles end up becoming New York's saviors from crime.

Cliche story no? Except for the mutated turtles and rat part, this is pretty much a basic story but of course this is a kid's cartoon so don't expect much. It does have some emotional aspects to it, such as Raphael's bitterness/rivalry towards Leonardo and the groups love for Splinter. Is the script cheesy? Well of course, but that's kind of what makes it fun. It's kind of one of those films where it's largely supposed to be a fun romp and it's what you'd end up getting upon watching. What does become unintentionally funny though are the flashback scenes explaining the Turtles' mutation as well as Splinter's former master and his rival. Stylistically it's quite unique since it takes place against a black background but the puppeteering is so hilarious that it detracts a tad. But then again, Splinter is probably one of the best puppet characters around. Whether he beats Yoda though is another thing.

So how does this work as a film? It's actually quite good and it rarely sags. The pacing just feels right, the humor is silly but humorous and you can tell it doesn't feel like a completely low-budget movie. Only issue I had was at times there was 80's sounding music and I felt like "ugh, what an 80's movie". Other times though the score was actually good and certain scenes benefited quite a bit from it. Does it have any issues? Well again, people might find it funny due to nostalgia and a kind of "man, the stuff I used to love" laughter while other times the costumes looked...odd, like you were way too constantly aware that real characters were talking to humans in suits and not mutated turtles. Of course, I'm reading too much into it.

Ever buy a movie simply because it's been so long since you seen it? That's the case here for me. If you watched it way back when, it's nice to revisit.

Still The Best Of The Three.......2007-04-21

You've got to give Steve Barron credit: any other director might've taken the live-action version of Kevin Eastman's and Peter Laird's creations and produced something more akin to the animated, kid-friendly television show that dominated Saturday morning cartoons for years. Not that this film doesn't have an all-age appeal, but who remembers the original comic book, which was far more gritty and mature than what public television might've allowed? Granted, it's hard to sell the idea of four anthromorphic, ninjutsu-practicing, pizza-loving reptiles to begin with, but once the magic of Jim Henson sets in, a rather simplistic storyline becomes a most refreshing display of kung fu, comedy, and rubber suits that goes beyond expectations.

These rubber suits are, of course what sells the movie. Create a costume of a 6-foot turtle that will look good in casual circumstances as well as in stylized combat, and you're close to getting yourself a winner. Master puppetry, coupled with fantastic athletic displays and individual voice-acting cements the four brothers (Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatella) as completely believable characters, immersed in an underground (and, eventually, street-top) battle with a villian - the armoured Shredder - whose spectacle is kept revered throughout the film by an unfaltering darkness to his character, highlighted by real-life crimes of child recruitment. Insert Judith Hoag into her tailor-made role of the reporter, April O'Neil, and wiley Elias Koteas into the character of suave streetfighter Casey Jones, and both of their abilities to react believably to people in costumes, and you've got yourself a winner.

Well, maybe not yet. Though one can't expect much out of an action film when it comes to storylines, "Turtles" pulls it off by filling the fast-paced, quick-evented timeline with enough personality to make up for the relative speedy plot, which includes abduction, ambush, capture, retreat, reconciliation, emotional unearthing, return, battle-battle, and victory - all within 90 minutes. While I would have enjoyed certain aspects of the story (mainly, the time of the story spent between scenes) to be elaborated on more than they were, you can only praise the film for managing to plausibly tell the entire storyline of the original comic in the time that it did, by giving necessary focus on the multi-dimensional proportions of key scenes (ex: the reprieve at the farm, the Shredder's corraling of his recruits). In conclusion, the film pulls off the storytelling as well as and maybe even better than most other action films, securely a good mark in the field, but keeping it from being perfect (maybe if the film had been 30 minutes longer...).

By keeping everything in context with the original publication, and by throwing in just the right amount of quirky humor, the film achieves most of its potential. A $13 million budget and collaboration with Jim Henson pay off by producing a cult film which sequels have yet to top (as well as a worldwide profit of about $200 million), and which cinematic history has yet to render obsolete.
For fans of the franchise, this film is an absolute must-buy. Casuals viewers who find nothing wrong with talking, butt-kicking turtles and nifty kung-fu should likewise find no fault in this film. It's one of the few features that makes up for its shortcomings (the few that there are) with sheer fun and enjoyment. You'd have to be remarkably prim to not give this happy little masterpiece a watch.

Turtle Fun but Lose the *#%@#.......2007-04-11

This is fun to watch and has all the action and tongue in cheek fun of the series - however, I cringed everytime a turtle murmured a curse! My kids love the turtles, but this one is going on a shelf for a while. Admitedly, the cursing is pretty tame, but the turltes attract a pretty young crowd. So stick with the cartoons if you aren't interested in hearing your kid's heros say a four letter word every five minutes.

Enjoyable sequel!.......2007-05-02

After the events of the first movie, the four mutant ninja turtles have temporary shelter at the apartment of April O'Neil (Paige Turco) until they can find the pefect home for them and their master Splinter (voiced by Kevin Clash). The Shredder still lives and has stolen a cannister of toxic chemicals from the chemical plant that made the ooze that served as the turtle's origins for he uses it to create two killer mutant animals of his own named Razarr and Tokkar as only the amazing four can stop them.

Entertaining and action-packed sequel to the 1990 hit movie isn't quite as great as the original cult fave but still delivers action and humor even if it's kid friendly nor as dark as the original movie. Jim Henson's Creature Shop did it again with the creatures in this movie especially Tonkar and Razarr who maybe dumb looking but look realistic, David Warner and Vanilla Ice co-star especially with the song "Go Ninja Go Ninja Go".

This DVD has clear picture and sound with both widescreen and fullscreen editions with only one extra which is the theatrical trailer.

Too Silly To Rival The Original.......2007-04-22

Hot off the heels of the original blockbuster (released barely a year after its predecessor), TMNT II: The Secret Of The Ooze rolls out in a promising fashion, taking us back to crime-plagued New York City, where our currently-sewerless Turtles make the unsettling discovery that their arch-nemesis, the Shredder, survived the events of the first film and is attempting to secure the radioactive contaminant which spawned them to create his own super-mutants.

...if you've seen the original film, this must sound a bit silly.
True, it's difficult to argue the meaning of silliness when the film is already based on four katana(sai, bo, nunchuko)-wielding reptiles who wear masks over their eyes, but this film's cult-status prequel proved that the Turtles could be taken seriously when handled as fighters against underworld crime. TMNT2, however, sheds much of the dark tone that effectively highlighted the original; seemingly taking the philosophy that sheer fun can fill in shortcomings out-of-context, in creation of a film which is almost definitely designed for an audience less mature than that of the original TMNT film.

It starts with the Turtles doing what they do best - fighting street crime and eating pizza - without much of a care, but when it becomes clear that the cause of their mutation is being sought by a returning Shredder, the boys jump into action, and into the spotlight.
However, the spotlight is likewise thrown upon the Shredder, an action which was not performed in the original film in a successful effort to keep Oroku Saki as demonic as a man could be. However, when presented in all of his glory, unabashed, the unshrouded Shredder looks like a dork in a purple jumpsuit and an oversized helmet - one might think he was to appear on "Power Rangers." He loses almost all of his credibility when he is hugged and cuddled, however unwillingly, by his two would-be-terrifying, imprintive monsters, Tokka and Rahzar. Actually, these guys don't have much of a chance to be terrifying, unless you wake up to their faces in the middle of the night: the realism of their costumes pale in comparison to that of the Turtles, giving the impression of simply two well-made Halloween costumes.

Enter further into a world where the Turtles are less on the streets (arguable, if you consider junkyards-turned-to-hideouts a part of the streets), where British professors become storyline-essentials, and where huge dandelions grow, and you've got yourself a taste of TMNT2. Better yet, consider the reptile quartet in a disco, dancing to Vanilla Ice's (check out his hair!) 'Ninja Rap' before blasting the Shredder through the air and a wall with the use of an amplifier.
Overall, the film seems to take its tone from the animated series, relying on a plot that's more sci-fi than the original and less on the hardcore, emotional trek that was its predecessor.

However, in its defense, TMNT2 displays no slouching when it comes to its kung fu - a cornerstone of the film: the fighting is as stylized and entertaining as ever, even when it incorporates Michelangelo swinging sausages instead of nunchukas and Donatello 'surfing' on a rolling chair. The choreography works as well as it did in the first film, though it offers no innovation. Likewise, all of the Turtles and other headliners are kept respectfully in-character, with Leo retaining his role as the disciplined leader, Raph as the emotional hothead, Mikey as ever the comedian, and Don...getting a bit more screen-time as the intellectual determined to uncover the meaning of their existence (which is a nice change, seeing as he was simply an addition to Mike in the previous film).

Nothing in TMNT2 exceeds much in any criteria, with the stumblings in the film's storyline bringing the feature down only to average...which is a fall from the original's quality, but not really a bad position in a world of otherwise sub-average action flicks. Though highly reccomended for youngsters whose parents will let them watch it, fans of the franchise shouldn't be afraid to give it a look, either (after all, it could have been worse). In a perfect world, TMNT2 would've outdone TMNT, or at least rivaled it for fan-pleasing value. TMNT2 comes off as a kid's film, more than anything else; though somewhat dissapointing, it's a fun (yet unnecessary) sequel to an ever funner cult classic.

Dated.......2006-07-08

This movie has excellent action and costumes, but it still has that early 90's pop culture dated look. Fifteen years later, I finally realize how annoying it is when any one of the turtles uses the word "Cowabunga."

The movie's plot is simple, and it doesn't have bad words and things like that, so it's a really good movie for kids. I really love the new mutants Tokka and Razar. Real dumb strong monsters always make the movie for me. Shredder's a good villian as well, seeking a horrible revenge on the turtles at all costs, and destroying himself inside and out in the process.

It's a shame David Warner's role as the TGRI scientist is so forgettable. If you want to see him at his best, watch the Star Trek Next Generation episode entitled "Chain of Command: Part 2." He really shines in that.
