This is the only TMNT movie that I will ever watch. Great entertainment.

THEE best TMNT movie to date. Any other opinion is wrong.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created as an underground comic series by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984. The series was about four anthropomorphic mutated turtles that learned the art of ninjutsu from a giant rat named Splinter. He named them all after four famous renaissance painters: Leonardo, Rafael, Donatello and Michelangelo. They live in the sewers fighting super villains and eating pizza while spouting out ‘80s and early ‘90s “surfer dude” clichés...the very act of explaining these characters brings to mind their sheer absurdity. The concept alone is as random as a child’s mad lib. Somehow, the idea proved to be extremely marketable and sparked a pop cultural phenomenon during the ‘80s. As a kid I watched the cartoon, played with the toys, played the videogames, and even had my own personal Ninja Turtles tent. It was inevitable that there would be a movie made about the iconic characters. The real question is: how do you take an idea as strange as this and translate it into live action? The story is about a new wave of mysterious crimes sweeping through New York City by an organization known as the Foot Clan. Reporter April O’Neil (Judith Hoag) covers the story and soon finds herself being attacked. She's rescued by the Ninja Turtles and they become the targets of the Foot Clan and their Leader, the Shredder (James Saito). The first thing to examine is the presentation of the Turtles themselves. They’re brought to life with a combination of detailed costumes and puppetry, both of which are surprisingly convincing. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop is responsible for the development of the puppets and they look great; without any reliance on computer animation, this is as good as they could ever look in a live action film. A lot of credit must also be given to the puppeteers and choreographers, because the Turtles can also move really well, pulling off some impressive fight sequences. It’s clear that martial artists are inside these costumes and their ability to fight while wearing them is commendable. The characters of the Turtles are all fairly likeable as well; Rafael (Josh Pais) being the most prominently featured due to his personal struggle with his anger. Donatello (voiced by Corey Feldmen) and Michelangelo (Robbie Rist) are the comic relief, with Leonardo (Brian Tochi) serving mostly as the counterpoint to Rafael. Although Rafael’s anger is a conflict for at least the first half of the movie, towards the end it’s dropped altogether. It’s a shame because, of all the subplots, Rafael’s isolation is the most interesting. There are also some other characters like their wise master Splinter (Kevin Clash) who is, as mentioned before, a giant rat, the reporter April, and another vigilante named Casey Jones (Elias Koteas). They’re all relatively likable and add to the fun of the story, Casey Jones in particular. Elias Koteas plays him as a dumb, but well intentioned ex-hockey player who uses his excess strength to beat up criminals with a variety of sports equipment (ranging from hockey sticks to cricket bats). The plot isn’t terribly complex (though I think less is more with characters like these), and most of what happens to the main characters is only due to the actions of others around them, as opposed to anything they accomplish personally. What's really one of the biggest drawbacks to the film, and these characters in general, is how instantly dated they are. They’re very much a product of their times, as none of their catchphrases are even remotely used today. Many of the one-liners fall flat and expressions like “Radical” and “Cowabunga”, which were barely popular even then, are now nearly forgotten. Where the film truly succeeds however, is in its tone. It manages to bring these characters to life in a real world (meaning characters like Bebop and Rocksteady do not exist here), maintaining a delicate balance between taking itself too seriously and becoming a parody of itself altogether. One example might be the origin story sequences in which Splinter reveals to April how they all came to be. It’s a silly story, but told from the authoritative voice of a wise old master. A sillier element might be how the turtles can apparently walk the streets of New York without being recognized as long as they wear a fedora hat and trench coat, but it also helps that the villain, the Shredder (who bares a few similarities to Darth Vader, at one point even telling his underlings “I am your father”), treats the Turtles as a real threat, regardless of the way they look and act. There's a lot of humor, and much of it is accompanied by the cheesy soundtrack, but there are also some scenes that make the characters feel more realized and developed. The scene in which the four Turtles meditate and communicate with Splinter for instance, feels quite genuine. It’s also surprising how violent this film is. That’s not to say that there’s a whole lot of bloodshed, but there's a good deal of martial arts action to be found here. There are only a few instances of more cartoony action, and I think it’s possible that more inspiration was drawn from the grittier comics than the child-oriented cartoon series. Overall, this is the best theatrical version of these characters that there's ever going to be. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a fun comic book film that's also a time capsule for its day.

Good price, easy to use, easy to pirchase

If you don’t know, you don’t know.

Encantado de poder volver a ver estos clásicos que tantos recuerdos me traen. Varios aspectos a comentar: 1º La carátula que pone Amazon de la peli es la misma que se envía, y lo digo porque señala que las pelis tienen audio en castellano y japonés...hasta dudé en comprármelas sólo por eso. Sin embargo las pelis incluyen en realidad (a pesar de lo que pone la carátula) audio castellano (doblaje original y uno nuevo) y audio en inglés, además de subtítulos en castellano. 2º Dentro de la carátula de cartón (con las especificaciones erróneas) viene la caja de plástico típica de los blurays, en los que te puedes llevar otro sustillo al abrirla, y es que es la caja de la primera parte de Las Tortugas Ninjas, sin que se especifique que incluya Las Tortugas Ninjas II. Pero lo cierto es que al abrir la caja ves los dos discos. Además en esta caja de plástico sí que vienen bien las especificaciones de audio y subtítulos que comenté en el primer punto. Es decir, audios en castellano y subtítulos en español. Lastima que no incluya subtítulos en inglés, que los echo en falta para practicar un poco. 3º Incluye un librito con la descripción de las Tortugas y algunos detalles de los cómics y las series de animación.

La mejor película que han hecho hoy de la historia de las tortugas ninja, apesar de que sea de 1990 no pierde su escencia y no hay persona que no le guste, en versión HD y con elementos extras exclusivos para está versión dónde tendrás olores de las escenas como si estuvieras dentro de ella

Non giudico il film che di per se p un capolavoro (secondo me), ma la qualità del DVD è ottima. p.s. attenzione questa è una versione Inglese e non c'è Italiano, io lo sapevo e l'ho presa apposta.

旧亀三部作の一作目は日本国内でなっかなかDVD化されなくてコレクションに空きがあるままでイライラしていたので助かりました。 普通に再生出来るし、字幕がないだけで簡単な英語だし何度も観てる映画だから理解に関して問題なし。 しかも、ジャケットが秀逸。 そう、こんなふうなシンプルなジャケットがいいんですよ。 DVDのジャケットは映画のオリジナル公開時のポスターをそのまま使っているのがベスト。 変に見たことないようなアーティスト写真を使われても違和感しかない。 そういう意味でも、このDVDはベストです。

A very good item that brings back childhood memories.
