Which Turtles film did you think was most radical? Let us know in the comments below.

[bryanmahoney]

The First Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a masterpiece. Raphael being secluded from the other Turtles, choosing the path of a loner, acting out and the struggles with his relationship with Leonardo. Raphael in the first film was one of the most relatable characters out of any film I have ever seen. Master Splinter and his wisdom, willingness to suffer to protect the Turtles, bringing the confused kid back to the light teaching him the difference between discipline and false bravado and promises. That campfire scene makes me cry every time. Each character and their specific traits that we all can relate to as a teenager were on full display in that film. One of the greatest films I have ever seen and still holds up today.

TMNT 1990 is still the GOAT to this day, That film legitimately holds up Without Nostalgia Goggles.
It has a Great story, Great Atmosphere, Great Soundtrack, Great Suits, Great Stunts. Immaculate.

The 1990 original is still the best cause it had the serious tone we like but was also fun

It maybe nostalgia, but I loved the first movie. It handled the dark themes rather well.
As a kid I loved the action, as an adult I loved the characterization of the turtles. You can see the emotions from each brother on how they handle the sense of loss of a loved one.

The first live action movie, hands down for me. Hearing Raph yell when he lost his sai was like hearing my childhood grow up right before me. I was in the theater and it blew my mind. Seeing the brothers watch over him as he healed? Priceless. It elevated them for me.

Secret of the Ooz deserves a way better ranking end of story

"We are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We strike hard and fade away into the night."

Dave Green had a lot more passion directing OUT OF THE SHADOWS than Jonathan Liebesman with the 2014 movie, who was just doing what he was paid to do, nothing more

I hope COYOTE VS ACME can show how talented Dave Green truly is

The 1990 film was a timeless classic but Mutant Mayhem was critically acclaimed brought old and new fans unite.

[littleraven]

I unironically love TMNT (2007) lol. Its not great but I still love it for what it is

[timslade]

Always loved the 2007 TMNT movie because it finally gave us a Leo vs Raph fight

[lukebaxter]

As a life long TMNT fan who got into the franchise through the 2003 show, Turtles Forever will always be my favourite TMNT film. Not only was it exciting and emotionally engaging as a fan of the show, but with how it celebrated the 25th anniversary of TMNT was something I loved.

And having recently become a fan of Rise of the TMNT, the film was just so damn awesome. It was like if TMNT was an anime.

And of course, the 1990 film is so good. So much better than some give it credit for. Heck, I cried when I last watched it with that fireplace scene.

I've yet to see Batman vs TMNT and Mutant Mayhem, but I'm definitely looking forward to whenever I do.

[daevonsibert]

I think I would've ranked TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze higher! I always like part 2 since I was a kid. But 1990 TMNT is still the best one.

[calebsoria]

5:46 now that was excellent.
The cast, story plot, and emotion.

[sheemalmighty]

The original TNMT movie still holds up today

[shadowlink-wnrh]

Fun facts TMNT 2007 is actually the 4th sequel to the 1990s TMNT movies

[diegopansini]

2007 TMNT has the best tone! Nothing has ever topped the Leo vs Raph scene to this day

[mr.decencykeepinitreal]

As longtime TMNT fans, we 💚 it!
Good work, WatchMojo…
The TMNT franchise will be turning 40 next year.
