Angry Movie Nerd vs. TMNT III

I strongly disliked Ninja Turtles III when it was released. I agree that it was the worst of the trilogy (even Turtles II was infinitely superior to this film, IMHO). I saw it in the theaters, and I was really put off by it. Angry Movie Nerd's reasons are not far too off from mine, but here's my other reasons for my disliking it:

-No involvement whatsoever from Jim Henson's Creature Shop (which did the first two films); The Turtles themselves looked like crap this time around.
-The plot was a waste of my time. It had the excitement of the Turtles having an adventure in someone's backyard.
-Weak villain.
-Weak climax.
-How do the Japanese characters speak English? (Did I miss something? It was a long time since I saw this film.)

This movie could've been a lot better. Instead, this film officially killed the Turtles' popularity, paving way for the Power Rangers (That's Super Sentai, dammit!) shortly after.
 
WOW till now i thought TMNT 3 was ok, but now i hate it

"But now I hate it cause someone else said I should..."

C'mon, if you didnt hate it before there's no reason to hate it now just because he happens to hate it.

And even by this nerds own admission, he settled and liked it as a kid. It's only now that he's 26 with too much time on his hands that he hates the idea of the third movie. The movie is made for kids. He also admits that kids laughed at the same lines that he refers to as "horrible." No it's not as good as the first two, I didnt like it as a kid personally. It also didnt spawn anymore movies. Rightfully so because the only good turtle movie was the first one. I remember that in the days leading up to the first movie premier, I could not imagine a live action version of the turtles. I simply couldnt, I couldnt only picture them as cartoons. I simply had no idea how they would do it but they did and the turtles looked great.

But I digress, you shouldn't just up and hate something just because everyone here wants to bust a nut over something one guy says (even though lots of people thought the same damn thing. It's not that he's always right, he's only saying the truth. Everyone who's watched the movies could have told you these same things. But he took it another level and studied the movies just to bring you further perspective)

(Just a rant)

BTW: MTV show? Wow, I expected maybe G4 or SpikeTV if anything. I doubt it'll last on MTV.

Where in my paragraph did I ever say the guy in the video wasnt a fan? Are we on the same page? Probably not.
