I finally seen it the other day and I gotta say I loved this movie. Mikey was my favorite turtle in this movie, he was hilarious. I had a tough time getting used to Raphael's voice, at first, but I got used to it. Raph had the the coolest fight scenes. Donnie didn't have much of a role, at least that's what I felt. Shredder looked and sounded awesome.

These are just my initial impressions of the movie I didn't want to go into to much detail. So what did you think of the movie?

I think it's one of the better comic book movies of the pre-X-Men era.

And Mikey's my favorite turtle too.

How are you just seeing this? I grew up on it and still think it's awesome. Can't watch Turtles 3 like that though.

@xwraith: I agree, I finally got around to getting Star Wars 4-6, I seen episode 4 yesterday, I really liked it, going to watch the rest tonight.

@guardiandevil83: I was born in the year '94, I probably seen it when I was real young but have no memory of it. It wasn't until recently that I heard the film was good so I rented it at my local movie shop. Is the 2nd film good, and what's bad about the third one?

One of my favorite movies of all time. Saw it as a kid in the theater when it first released, and I'll never forget it.

It's also the day I became a Raphael fan for life. ;)

I loved that movie. Haven't seen it in years though, I hope it is as good as I remember it to be.

@omnicrono: Raphael is my favorite character as well, after this movie though makes me want to say Mikey is my second favorite.

It was great. Not looking forward to Michael Bay's version. It'll have pointless explosions with good action but horrible acting, especially from Megan Fox..who will be playing April...one of the most important characters in TMNT. She will blow it. I know it, you know it, your grandma knows it.

Top 5 CBM.

That movie is god's gift to earth.

Yeah check out the 2nd. It's fun and you get to see Shredder all steroided out. I'm not gonna lie, that scene had me and my boys geeking out.

@guardiandevil83: Yeah I plan on seeing the second and third soon, is it the same Shredder from the first film?

@ccraft: For most of the movie it's the same guy, but the mutated Shredder was played by Kevin Nash (yes, the wrestler).

I saw it like a year ago. Loved it so much I would watch it almost everyday

I'll never call golf a dull game again

Ralph screaming when they took splinter plucks my heart strings.

@ccraft did you catch a young sam rockwell in it?

@cuddlebear: Yes, I didn't believe it until I looked it up lol.

most underrated comicbook movie ever

i loved the second one as a kid, but watching it lately just felt weird, the first is still a great flick.. second and third not so much.

also i think all the voices change through the films

@xwraith: Agreed. Its a classic for me truly.I remember watching it on Vcr sorry but Michael Bay's new direction on the TMNT hasn't and probably wont win me over.

@wolverine08: Didn't like Secret of the Ooze more?

@ostyo: I liked it, but I don't think it was exactly up to par with the first one. That was one is just legendary.

@wolverine08: See, my problem with that film was Leo being reduced to a unfunny and poorly fleshed out character. In the second film they at least tried.

This movie was the bee's of the knees!

@ostyo: Raph was at least pretty deep though.

@wolverine08: True, I did like his scenes.

Wait.....they are turtles and ...ninja ?

Ralph vs 30 Foot Ninja still one of my most favorite scenes.

still haven't added this to my fav movie list, definitely a great title

ohh wait until you get to Empire strikes back, sooo very good.

you have a rental place nearby....so jealous, my closest one is now 45 min drive away, not exactly convenient.

2nd ones ok...its like cool runnings, it has its moments. the third one is treated a lot like the third Star Wars or the third Evil Dead ( I mean Return of the Jedi and Army of Darkness) all three final movies of the trilogies take a wide turn and are of a completely different in nature from the rest of the trilogy, this leads a lot of people to conclude that these three movies are the worst ones of the trilogy or even as far as saying they are unwatchable. I am less inclined to say that about ninjas 3 , because the first two movies are done very lighthearted and almost parody like, if you think of ninjas three the same way, its not completely different.

@bierschneeman:Well maybe not so "local" it takes 15 minutes to get to it, but it is one of the closest stores to my house, it takes 35 minutes just to get to the food store. Living in a rural area sucks...

I'll keep the last part in mind when watching the rest of the movies.

I liked that scene too.

@fil123: I liked the voices for the first one, that's a bummer.

Still love this movie after all these years. I was a kid when I first saw this in the movies. The roof top battle with the Shredder is one of my favorite fight scenes. Top 10 cbm for me. Raph and Donnie were always my favorites

Been watching these movies since I was little but I still love them. As a matter of fact I recently bought all 4 movies ( the animated one is set in the movie continuity as well)

It holds up surprisingly well, doesn't it?

@k4tzm4n: After 24 years later, I'd say so, I was pleasantly surprised with this movie.

@k4tzm4n: Holds up very well. The storytelling is great, and the turtle costumes still look very believable in my opinion.

For sure. Obviously, some of the dialogue is dated and I it's anticlimactic when Shredder stands around as his enemies have a huddle (would have liked a longer Shredder vs. Splinter, too), but still, it's great.

This, the first one is like Karate Kid level, while TMNT 2 is like KK2, just not as good any way you put it. Other than the hotter April Oneal of course.

@allstarsuperman: Nah, gotta disagree.

About the movie? or the hotter April? Secret of the Ooze April was a babe, the first not so much.

@allstarsuperman: Oh sorry lol, the movie. Second April was better looking for sure. Second voice for Donnie was better too.

I love it. Have basically the whole thing memorized and for a movie that old it still stands the test of time in my opinion.

I hope in the next 20 years I can say the same thing!

@ccraft: Amen to that. It's just a very well done movie for it being what it is. It has good action, comedy and has some really nice family moments as well. A far superior film than the sequel and I wont bother with the 3rd film smh.

@oscuro: I miss the practical effects in movies, especially after watching Star Wars 4-6, CGI is great and all, but practical effects makes it real.

@ccraft: Agreed. I always enjoy an effect more when it is tangible. CGI is good for certain things.
