Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE is the second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film in the overall TMNT film franchise. It is the sequel to TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1990),and it is really good and amazing to see this film. The film is commonly abbrieviated as TMNT II and the film is distributed by New Line Cinema and internationally distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film follows the adventures of the four Turtles: Michaelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo and Raphael and their master, Splinter. Roughly resuming from the original film, the villain, Shredder, returning to New York City to get take back command of the Foot Clan and work towards getting revenge and work towards getting revenge on the Turtles. When he learns the secret behind the Turtles' mutation, he becomes more dangerous than ever. The film sheds some light on the origins of Splinter and the Turtles, as well as introduces two new villains: Tokka and Rahzar. Unlike the original and first film, this one rarely showed the use of Turtles' weapons. They instead fight bare-fisted for much of the film as part of an attempt to tone down some of the violence of the previous movie. The film was March 22, 1991, and received mixed to negative critical reception from critics who felt it departed from the much darker tone of the original 1990 film and was more light-hearted. The story is very coherent and just fantastic, unlike some people says that it is not as good as the first film's story. The action sequences are just amazing and fantastic, especially the action sequence at the end when the Turtles are inside the dance club and that is where Vanilla Ice sings "The Ninja Rap". Nothing is bad about the music and the music in this film is just fantastic and yes, it is composed by John Du Prez and it is just spectacular and just fantastic. The turtles look as good as they did with the other previous film and it is just so amazing. Speaking of Turtles, the voice actors are all good this time. Kevin Clash, Michael McConnohie and Robbie Rist returns in their roles as Splinter, Tatsu and Michelangelo. Corey Feldman played Donatello in the previous film and was replaced by Adam Carl. The other actor who got replaced for Raphael, was Josh Pais, and he was replaced by Laurie Faso. Brian Tochi plays Leonardo and he does a great job again as well. Frank Welker plays the roles of both Tokka and Rahzar and he does a great job with both of them and his performance is so great. Another actor who got replaced was Judith Hoag, who previously played April O'Neill in the first film and Paige Turco took her place and she is amazing in the part. Ernie Reyes, Jr. plays the role of Keno and he is fantastic in his part and just amazingly. Overall, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES II: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE is amazingly well-done and it is just fantastic and good and much better than the first film. This film is an absolute smash-hit, 10/10.

When I saw the first debut of the turtle's movie I did not want to miss a second. And I did'nt. When the 2nd one came out I loved every second as the 1st, and to this day I still have the collection, and the credit I want to give to is the puppeteers and the suit performers they were awesome bringing those characters to life. Great Job. My full respect for these movies is still strong. Some say I'm too old to watch it still. I don't think so! TMNT Rocks. Let's keep it that Way!

The sequel to the smash hit 1990 TMNT, starts off greatly with an introduction to a new character (Keno) and has a great pizza scene showing how the city loves New York pizza as well as metaphorically showing the viewers watching that this indeed is a turtles movie...The opening music is great and is perfect for the city scene. The plot is not as well thought out as the original but still does the turtles a good name for them...I still feel they rushed it a little seeing that the movie was in production right after the 1st movie went into theaters...I seem to feel the super shredder was the turning point in the franchise, meaning that it went from a sort of Tim Burtan feel with TMNT 1, and ended up with a corny kid focused feeling with the introduction of the super shredder..and the ninja rap didn't help either..all though I thought it was cool....I just wished secret of the ooze was more of a dark TMNT movie....which the 1st movie held on to strong. The addition of Professor Jorden Perry and the whole TGRI company was a great idea to explain the chemical spill and the mutation the turtles went through. His mature nature and serious tone helped the movie maintain a sense of maturity as well as stability in the plot. The acting was great in this one as well and the comedy was just as good as in the first movie. Although Corey Feldman did not voice Donetello in this one, the replaced voice actor was great...I even might say that the actor that voiced Don in TMNT 2 is just as good as Cory Feldman's voice acting in the 1st and 3rd movie. IN conclusion, TMNT: Secret of the Ooze is a great sequel that is both funny as well as serious and is a great movie for any age. The only thing that bothered me was that is was slightly too focused on the youth audience and didn't stay 100% with the original's dark atmosphere.

This is the perfect film. I'd go so far as to say it's even prophetic. We're not far from ooze-influenced mutations running rampant. The jokes are perfectly timed. The pizza deserved an Oscar.

This movie is even worse than the first one, and for many reasons. This one has Shredder mysteriously alive after his fall. He finds the stuff that mutates creatures so he makes a couple of mutant monsters to fight the turtles. He also looks cooler than the first one as well. Unfortunately, though this one is aimed more for the youngsters so it is even harder to sit through than the first one. Spoiler***Then there is the ending. If you thought the fight between Shredder and the turtles was anticlimactic in the first one you haven't seen anything yet. In this one he takes the ooze and becomes super Shredder. Do the turtles fight him in this form? No, he is under a pier and he just knocks some posts down so the pier falls on him and he dies. Yes, the Super Shredder apparently can't survive something a normal person would have a chance surviving yet he can fall 20 stories and land in a garbage truck and be crushed and survive. This movie is just terrible

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 is a pretty good movie, funny, and very effective, but it's not as good as the original. The original was better and more dark. This one has some good fights (choreographed by Pat Johnson of the Karate Kid fade) and plenty of silly humor for the kids, but it's not as directed to a general audience as this one. By the way, look for a professional wrestler as Super Shredder.

This film opens with tremendous confidence and energy. The humor of the Turtles may be so 1990 but I still dig it. The opening scene in the shopping mall is way funny and a great way to introduce is to the sequel. At the time the style of the Turtles wasn't so stale, so the plot may seem a bit childish or dumb now. I have no doubts that if this movie were made today it would not be subtitled 'The Secret of the Ooze'. One can hardly expect high art from a movie called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II but they could have subtitled it something a little less crass. Apparently taking place right after the first movie (where's Casey) it wastes no time bringing back the Shredder and the rest of the Foot Clan. This time Shredder aims to steal the cannister of ooze that mutated our heroes so he can make his own monsters to avenge his defeat. The result is Tokka and Rahzar and it seems like a half-attempt at a live-action version of Rocksteady and Bebop. As you can imagine, this plot isn't very clever. But the movie never really lulls so long as our heroes are on screen. Look out for a cameo by Vanilla Ice (looking alarmingly like Dolph Lundgren) at the end. It's so dated it may be difficult to watch but as long as your alone you won't have to cringe. The DVD has wonderful motion menus as well as a great 1.85:1 anamorphic picture with Dolby 5.1 sound. Extras are thin but still it's a great buy.
