Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

reddragonhero17 I briefly fell in love with this show when it was around in my time of the late 80's and early 90's. Unfortunately, now that I'm an adult, I'm not too thrilled with what I see of it now. The storyline is practically nonexistent, the action is mindless (not to mention a mockery of true ninjistsu principles), the dialogue is juvenile, and the imagination is deliberately bankrupt. I didn't like how the turtles did some questionable behavior, and get rewarded for it by living on a diet of junk food, which is not only unutritious, but reveals one's own character as well in a negative way. Speaking of which I initially thought the turtles' lifestyle was the coolest thing since sliced bread, but now that I'm older I realize it's equivalent to living a near purposeless life of eating junk food, loafing around, not helping the world's problems, and engaging in fights for the thrill of it. In true ninjitsu, you respect your opponent, the turtles don't, they humiliate their opponents. While there is a small charm about the turtles that even I can't resist with their (small) personalities, I can't really consider these turtles to be genuine role models. The reason I gave the first live action movie a positive review was because the good message wasn't overshadowed by mindless action. The next animated series after this one did a far better job.

anaahnu The Technodrome - a dreadful war machine - poses out on a hill covered with creepy Stone Soldiers. The evil Shredder (so much alike to some medieval knight, only much more imposing because of all those his spikes, hooks and blades...) The Foot warriors (they were called 'robots' in the film, but I rather took them for zombies). And - a horrifying, yet fascinating sight: four Turtle embryos flying through the dark skies inside a great pale beam... (Really, I was disappointed to know that their story in the series differed from that in the opening. A mutagen. How simple. How disapproving. Blah...)A young, high-spirited, soft (like most anime heroines), very beautiful, sometimes trying to be brave, always cheerful and hilarious... Well, what I'm telling you about? April is April! Vernon is also Vernon, by the way (I know there was Casey in the comics, but comics were really for adults. The TMNT in the comic book looked scary, like punks, only bigger and 'monstrier'. O'Neil was just an ordinary girl, more or less. And there was no Vern, so charming in his cowardice...) Yeah, I love the comics. I really appreciate them, because THAT is the origin of all the Turtle variations. And I'm a huge fan of the 2003 series; only this all does not matter when we speak about the long lost loves and attractions of our half-forgotten childish age.The green band will always be on the march. I mean, the green band on the 80th. True to each other, all-conquering. Simple, but honest. Hilarious, but heroic. Handsome Good vs. ugly Evil. (And yes, Krang is the most cthoolhy Dark Lord ever!)

djscotty54 This original series is one of the best Animations ever in my opinion. This cartoon has everything not only a child would want, but adult as well. I watched the show when I was a kid, but now (29 years old) I recently purchased all of the seasons and re-watched all 10 seasons of them, and I have to say.. they not only bring back wonderful memories, but still put a smile on my face, and pack a punch. I do feel that the series took a downward spiral around the 8th season, but I still purchased those sets to have the complete collection. Definitely seasons 1-7 are the best, and Full of action, drama & memories!!! But most of all... VERY entertaining! I encourage ALL ages to purchase the DVDs to watch & re-watch the series again, and again like I am.

emasterslake This is known to be the "Heros in the Half Shell" 5 parter from 1987.It's also season 1 of the long ran TV series. Due to the fact that it has the fewest episodes in any season.I bet there are hardly any series that start with a season with 5 episodes.But anyways these were made to introduce the TMNT to the kids who are watching it on TV.I didn't see these episodes till around 2003 because I was too young to remember any at first.Anyways these first 5 episodes show you how the Turtles first met April and how they encountered Shredder and his Foot Clan. In my opion episode 4 is the best one next to episode 1 and 2.
