There are dozens of unused suggestions in the movie suggestion thread by the way. I'll try to squeeze this movie into my time schedule tomorrow since you were kind enough to post the whole movie.

Good movie but always thought it was the weakest in the trilogy. A bit too close to the cartoon and less of the comic book here, but ninja rap is still great.

I don't have any of the Turtles movies. This are definitely collectible items. The production value of these movies was shocking for me as a kid. They looked amazing, I was a massive fan of everything TMNT.

Got down and watched it, here's my thoughts:
"Definitely not as good as the first one, even though I barely remember what the first one was like as I never watched it as a kid and it has been years since I saw it. I have no nostalgia for these movies. I watched the animated show that ran on Cartoon Network in the early 2000's and that is pretty much my attachment to these turtles. What did I think about this movie? The costumes were great, except for Shredder's, what the hell was up with that giant ass helmet? The stunt work was pretty good for a kid's movie I must say, and the jokes were kind of lame, but also enjoyable. While this is not a film series that I take great interest in, they are interesting even though they are not all that great. Kind of a goofy movie." 2/5, not exactly good, but it's a piece of history.

2 was a huge step down from 1. It was still enjoyable, but it was way too corny. I also didn't like the fact that they didn't use their weapons like they did in 1. I also didn't like the move away from the grittiness. Tokka and Rahzar are awful, and they shouldn't have ever been created to replace Bebop and Rocksteady. I'll never forget the disappointment I had after seeing their scenes in the movie theater. So lame...
It sure is better than 3, though. I love the new lair in the abandoned subway, and I liked attempt to recreate the lore. The Ninja Rap is a secret love of mine, and I always bust out the lyrics the moment I hear it. It is a shame that we didn't see more of Kevin Nash as the Super Shredder, though. Anyway, as an adult, I can stomach watching this with my kids still, so I'll give it a 3.

Parents had a problem with the violence in the dirst one, never mind all the gratuitous pizza consumption.
When I was little, my first impression of this movie was it was darker, because Tokka and Rahzar were scary as feck.
Eastman and Laird didn't want Rocksteady and Bebop in this movie, so T and R were a compromise. I don't think it made much difference though.
Also, I don't think those animatronics in the masks made much difference. The turtles didn't look as gritty.

Yeah, even as a kid I thought it was disappointing. The first one was much better.
