This is the Best Turtles movie and its not even close!

I don’t know. I have a soft spot for the 2007 CGI movie.

​@@Ash_ReinI have a soft spot for the video game too.😅 😅

​@@Ash_Rein No this movie will always be the best version ever and you can't convince me other wise

I like part 2 more growing up as a kid but as an adult, the original is much more badass

[@goatganggaming6142]

the second one was good too

[@tveks]

The music when the fires starts is the most 80s movie music of all time

[@jd2161]

its great

[@freakyfornash]

Yeah, and that creepy synthesizer made this epic scene all the more chilling, as was the case with movies, and TV shows from back then too!

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

If you ever want to look it up, it's called "Shredder's Suite". It's the same one that plays at the end during the final confrontation.

[@thegamingchef3304]

Always loved that scene.

[@Plasmawarrior]

2:55 "Ah! A fellow chucker eh?"

[@RingLordSonic]

I love that line!

[@dauragonkayin]

Let’s not forget the jazzy drums while Mickey is doing his show. Gets me every time.

[@freakyfornash]

It was a good way to temporarily lighten up the mood right after poor Raph got thrown through the window! That was until the tense battle royale which shortly followed, when April & the Turtles were in serious danger shorty afterwards!

[@Fudge_Fantasy]

"Keep practicinnngg."

[@jwiese100]

Mikey for the win

[@richardkim9952]

I love how this film combines the grittiness of the Mirage comics with the goofiness of the 1987 animated series.

[@jamespaz4333]

That's why it's the only TMNT that it will ever be.

[@BOJones323]

When the serious music starts after Casey Jones gets there was Great timing

[@MikeBudge29]

As a kid the hairs on my arm stood up.... and now as a 40yr. They still do.. damnnnnnn this movie is the best

[@willar7]

very true. I always felt the music when they are fighting didnt suit the dark tonk of the movie. It likes soemthing out of an 80s sitcom

[@inwyrdn3691]

The fact that my 8 and 10 year old daughters love this movie and ask for it often prove how well it holds up. New isn't always better. Old isn't always better. True quality stands the test of time.

[@imperfectxennial3008]

Best TMNT movie ever

[@SYCZ]

The ONLY TMNT movie ever

[@TheBalls2thewalls]

Imagine christopher nolan making a new tmnt movie with no cgi, real costumes, a darker grittier version in the modern era heavily inspired by this movie. It's my dream.

[@rodrigobarba930]

That would be awesome!

[@MrFredson91]

Better than to suffer watching Michael bay 😂

Hopefully it'll happen on The Last Ronin movie.

[@dannyb924]

[@mngentry]

Has he expressed interest in doing a ninja turtles movie?

[@theharbinger00]

"Good answer, good answer" and "keep practicing" very much appreciated more when I'm an adult

[@thebert8141]

Same with "I don't think that'll be a problem, Leo."

[@DarthVoxyn]

Also “ ninja kick that dam rabbit”!

[@SonnyK248]

The craziest thing about this movie was that no one had faith that it would be a hit. And then it became one of the most profitable movies of all time. It was very low budget and cost like ten million and made like 300 million. And the reason people loved it was because it was a risk so they just let it be. It was dark, it was true to the original source material and it worked. Then when the sequels came out they just lost faith completely and said "it has to be this and that and the other" and they made it campy and lame and it just fell further and further every time. They even stopped using Jim Henson for the puppetry thinking they could just do it cheaper and be okay because they had the audience... They should have just stuck to what worked and The Turtles franchise could have been fantastic.

[@wilfred9]

The third movie was campy I agree, but the sequel, Secret of The Ooze, is my all time favorite movie. I really liked it, especially since it introduced Tokka and Rahzar.

[@ShamanTiers]

2nd and 3rd movie were toned down because parents complained about the violence in 1 it was different from the more kid friendly 80's cartoon.

[@jamespaz4333]

[@freakyfornash]

Well they had more than enough foot soldiers to keep the three then still active Turtles busy, while that particular baddie could afford to just hand out axes to whoever needed one I'm guessing! L.O.L.!

At 5:50, I just love how you can see Tatsu in the background giving a nod of approval to the guys smashing Donatello's face into the piano keys like he was saying "Good job staying in tune with that melody."

I remember seeing this in the movies with my dad eating a box of pop corn, recesse's pieces and a soda pop. I remember how crowded it was when the movie ended. We rode our bikes there because we lived 5 min walk down the road. Nothing will ever beat those times where people actually lived life and not brain rot away online

[@justinrogers8080]

As many people in the comments are stating, I also went and saw this in the theaters too. After myself, my oldest brother (who drove us to the movie), and my younger brother got settled in our seats; within a few seconds my oldest brother said "hey guys, let's move seats". "Why?", the two of us asked him. "Because someone took a shit on the ground right below us" Sure enough, even in the dark we could make out the silhouette of a log of dookie, and as you leaned your head down closer to look at it, your nostrils definitely got a whiff of it confirming that was indeed shit on the ground below. "Awww sick!!!" and other responses we naturally had, and promptly moved a few rows ahead of us. True story. And thankfully the only time I have ever had that experience. Whenever I see clips of the original Ninja Turtles movie I always think of logs of shit on movie theater floors.

Any 80s & 90s babies use to rewind this on VHS to watch it over and over. We didn't have social media. Best childhood ever 💯

[@mrmotown313]

This is probably the best TMNT movie that I’ve ever seen in my life. I wonder what it would be like if they had Leonardo being ambushed by the foot clan instead of Raphael as it was originally told in probably the comic books and the 2003 TMNT cartoon in the episode the shredder strikes again. That would be very interesting indeed.

[@Be-lowMe]

The absolute best TMNT movie ever. Jim Henson outdid himself with the turtle bodysuits where they performed. I couldn’t imagine how hot it was to do all the stunts. I’m in my 40’s now & sit & watch it with my daughter. What a fuckin classic!!!!! 5 ⭐️

[@MikeBudge29]

Half of the movie plot comes directly from the original comics with some minor differences. In the comics it is Leo who gets beaten instead Raph and the farm in New Hampshire belongs to Casey's faily, not April's...The 2k3 series adapted this accurately

There was so much of this that was over my head as a kid when i watched it. I was only 6 when this came out so i wasn't too aware of certain things. I never realized raphael and mikey had a romantic thing for April i thought they looked at her as like a surrogate mother. Their competitiveness for her accolades just gave me the perception of sibling rivalry for a parents favour.
