Well, if that's how you feel, then that's how you feel. TMNT is one of my favorite movies of all time, however, and it ain't because of nostalgia or amusing camp value. It's because I think they got it exactly right. I mean, it would have been so easy for the filmmakers to just crap out a cheesy, stupid, mindless, 90-minute toy commercial and then sit back and rake in the dough as every kid across America forced their parents to take them to see it multiple times. But instead, the filmmakers actually honored the Turtles the way they deserved to be honored. They took the best elements of the dark, gritty comic books (including pieces of actual storylines from the comics) and combined them with the best elements of the insanely popular, family-friendly TV show, and blended the two together to make what is more or less the definitive version of the TMNT. There's only been a handful of comic book movies that treated their source material and their fanbase with as much affection and respect as 1990's TMNT did.Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds wrote:Don't get me wrong, I like the TMNT live action movie plenty. I couldn't possibly class it outright as "good", though.

Ha! Hackers. I'd recommend this. It has Angolina Jolie in it no less!Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds wrote:Hackers
Double Dragon
And the old, original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies (I think there's three of them)
Also I'd say Tango and Cash or Hudson Hawk (which I still enjoy) for some early 90's lols

I don't like calling movies good or bad, because it really all comes down to what you like or don't like.
That said, there will always be "concensusly bad" movies like this:

First: Best of the three
Second: Not Bad
Third: Barely Watchable
