Too cute to be a TMNT movie.
13 April 2008
I'm a huge fan of the original movie seeing that they were true to the roots of bringing the turtles to life where they weren't too serious or goofy for the matter.

Just like all good movies or blockbuster hits, a sequel was followed in a much friendly way than the original.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The secret of the ooze" takes place a year after the events in the first movie where the turtles were declared heroes by April O'Neil and the city when Shredder was killed as more crime is up while Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael are back with more adventure, a new sidekick and more villains.

In the first sequel, the turtles discover that Shredder maybe back from the dead and find out that the chemicals that created them are stolen along with a professor. Along the way, the turtles befriend a new kid by the name of Keno (Ernie Reyes Jr.) in which like April, he gets freaked out when he sees that there are walking talking turtles in the city until seeing how good they are, along with the fact they save his life in one scene. There are also new monsters created by the same substance as our four hero characters; a horrible rip-off of Rocksteady and Bebop, Tokka (a snapping turtle) and Rahzar (a wolf) are Shredder's pets to destroy both the city and the turtles! TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze isn't bad, but it's not good either. It's too cute to be a TMNT movie along with the fact that there were many changes in the film from a new actress playing April O'Neil. Paige Turco plays the new April while Judith Hoag stepped out due to the fact that her character wasn't really developed. In terms of the voices from the turtles, I didn't like the actor who did Donatello where it made him seem to much of a geek compared to the smart and laid back voice of Corey Feldman, who didn't make the voice because on his arrest of drug possession.

Trust me, stick to the first movie.
