OllieSuave-007 The first sequel to the motion picture Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where the turtle fighters and archenemy Shredder battle to obtain the last canister of the ooze that created the turtles, which Shredder wants to use to unleash an army of new mutants for control of the city.There are plenty of martial arts action in this movie, but there are also some cheesy dialog and a non-suspenseful plot, which made this sequel a little less entertaining than the previous movie. This film lacked a solid subplot as well.Much of the characters lack energy and zest. Paige Turco as April O'Neil didn't really contribute much to the movie and was mostly on the sidelines; Toshishiro Obata as Shredder's right-hand man Tatsu just stands there with a mean look on his face - not lifting a finger in any of the fight scenes; and Ernie Reyes Jr. as Keno didn't have much of a purpose in the film.Overall, a very average superhero sequel.Grade C-
jacobjohntaylor1 People love to pick on sequels. Nobody watches a pilot of TV show and say it is the best TV episode ever made. Then says all the other episodes to the same show are awful. There are sometime sequels that are just awful. But that is not most the time. And this movie like most sequels is better then the first one. The cartoon from the 80's and 90's it better. The reboot from 2014 is also better in spite of the way people pix on Micheal Bay. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. All the Teenage mutant ninja turtles are must sees. This movie has a lot action. 6 is underrating this great movie.
badfeelinganger In this sequel, which was rushed into theatres the year after the first film, the Turtles get in touch with a scientist named Jordan Perry (David Warner), who has access to the mysterious ooze that originally transformed them. Unfortunately, the Shredder has returned, and he wants the ooze to transform himself into an unbeatable opponent. The Turtles work to keep the Shredder from using the ooze.This is one of those rare sequels that actually lives up quite nicely to the original. While it's not as good as the first, it really had a shot to be almost its equal. In fact, I enjoyed this movie better than the first, until it swerved into this goofy night club dance sequence with Vanilla Ice.Still, the spirit of the comics and the cartoon is alive and well in "The Secret of the Ooze." It's also a good TMNT movie because it deals with the Turtles' origins, which always makes for some great storytelling.This lacks the darkness and subtlety that makes the first film so good, and so adult, but its simplified plot and gags will appeal to the under tens. The sequel plays things very safe
utgard14 Awful sequel that deals with the 'ooze' that created the Turtles. Shredder's back and wants to use the ooze to create more mutants. This is the one with Super Shredder, folks. The Turtles are so annoying this time around I was ready to give up fifteen minutes in. Watered-down violence, childish dialogue, and cheap sets don't help. This movie gave the world the Vanilla Ice "Ninja Rap" song. That alone is reason to hate it. Not to sound like a film snob but you have to be a six year-old, or the mental equivalent, to enjoy this dreck. What the hell was David Warner doing in this? Did he need money that badly? Avoid at all costs unless you're REALLY into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
