Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The first one was wonderful - a cult classic!!! the second movie wasn't too bad either, but definitely not anywhere near as good as the first one. The part at the beginning was amazing!!! The plot is good and interesting. Shredder or "Super Shredder" looks mean and scary than ever before, so that can catch you some interest. The movie shouldn't be taken too seriously though. It's just a good family movie especially if you're a turtles fan. I think it was made considering the success of the first movie, so it's totally understandable why a sequel just had to follow. Personally, I think a sequel wasn't really required, but if it was, Krang as the villain would've been far more fitting, and could've quite possibly or easily rivaled its predecessor. I would say it's an okay sequel.

I have to admit the first one is a lot better then this second one, but that doesn't change the fact this one was fun and exciting. The ninja turtles return in this all new adventure about a secret from their past.*SPOILERS BELOW* TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze brings back our awesome heroes in a half shell to find a out a mysterious secret from their past that made them so. Discovering their origins from a company called TGRI and from their closest friend and News Reporter April O'Neil the turtles once again come into conflict with the evil Shredder over mysterious green Ooze that transformed the turtles and their master and father Splinter. Only this time Shredder plans on using the Ooze for his own evil purposes and revenge to wipe out the heroes once and for all. This all new adventure brings in new characters as well, a new actress plays April O'Neil and she does an OK job of her role, only I wish she was more involved in the story. A new side kick comes into the picture too, Keno is cool and don't get me wrong he is more ninja then anything but he is not Casey Jones, who is one of my favorite characters, I feel like the directors put Keno in the story just to put in him in it, we don't know much about him other then the fact that he is a young ninja and delivers pizza. I wish Casey were in this story. Then there is Professor Perry who is a vital part of the creation of the Ooze and I like how he gets along well with the turtles. The two monsters, Toka and Razar, are kind of cheesy, the directors made them look tough but in my eyes they were just pushovers who chased the turtles around just to scare them away, Shredder should have destroyed them when he had the chance. I give TMNT: 2 Secret of the Ooze an 8/10 and this is why. The directors should have stuck with the original cast from the first one, especially Casey Jones and his actor. April should have been more involved with the story like the two monsters kidnapping her or something? And the two monsters were cool, but they should have been more vicious and scary then what they were. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it because I am a TMNT fan and it was creative and good, but it could have been better hence the 8/10 rating I give it. I would encourage you to watch it, it is fun and good but I feel it's not that original.

Human life is about suffering. People will talk all kinds of sh*t about hopes and dreams and meaning and all that sh*t is great, don't get me wrong, but what lasts with you whether in certainty or doubt, is suffering. Even at your happiest highest point of your life,even then there is suffering. I was gonna make a joke about suffering that was gonna tie into a truncated review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 The Secret Of The Ooze, but now it seems pointless. Yes, seeing this movie causes suffering, like how I was talking earlier several sentences ago, but also people suffered to make it y'know 'cause this movie is awful garbage and you know there was a bunch of cocaine and weird sex stuff on set, so that's even more of the good stuff. Suffering. Doubt. Ruin.

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
