I miss April from Part 1
Go ninja, go ninja, go!
This one pales in comparison to its predecessor, they decided to abandon the more serious tone of the first one and I think the film suffers because of it. Super Shredder, Tokka, and Rahzar are all pretty cool, as is the ninja rap. Back then, and even now, I wish Tokka and Rahzar were replaced with Bebop and Rocksteady. I really disliked Keno and I wish April wasn't recast (the new one did a good job, but just not the same). Still a fun watch, basically feels like the old cartoon brought to life.
If they're planning on a new live action TMNT movie, can they not do cgi? Just do suits again. I'm sure the animatronics for the heads have come a long way. There's a proof of concept of I think Leonardo fighting foot soldiers on YouTube and it looks amazing.
I forgot how big of a wanker Vanilla Ice was.
Even though it’s "technically" the better film, TMNT II never really hit the level of enjoyment the first one had. I was 12 when the first one hit the cinemas, and loved every minute of the 3 times I saw it on the big screen. When this one came out the year after, I actually only saw it once, and never really bothered with it after that. It's the same thing now. I LOVE the first one, but with this one I'm not really feeling it.
Sure you can poke holes at it's lack of tension or true stakes, but the movie is still lifted by great interactions between the protagonists and decent (albeit aged) dialogue full of late 80's slang, coupled with plenty of action, which is all you can ask for in a kid's franchise. And as a 90s kid, it still makes me smile.
Not quite as good as original, but holds up well. Don't care for new April, but sill decent film
Much improved over the original film. Better production values and a lighter tone serve this film well. For more, see the review:
