Brings back childhood memories
As someone who grew up with these original movies I am happy they have this set together on blu ray for me I enjoy these better then the new films.The 3rd film isn't as good as the first two but id still pick it over the new films .Picture and sound are really good definitely better then dvd versions.Anyone that grew up with these original movies buy this set you won't be disappointed

I made a funny!
The 3 original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies on one 3 disc set. The first movie introduces the Turtles Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello along with their master Splinter the rat as they rescue reporter April O'Neill and take on evil villain The Shredder and his army The Foot Clan. It's dated quite badly but still good fun and amusing and not to be taken seriously. The effects and costumes on the Turtles are laughable compared to today's effects and at the time of release it was the biggest grossing independent film at the box office. The sequel, Secret Of The Ooze sees the Turtles learn the truth about their origin and once again take on The Shredder who has the original canister that contains the ooze that caused their mutations from ordinary turtles. An enjoyable fun sequel with some hammy performances. The 2nd sequel and final film Turtles In Time sees the turtles travel back in time to 17th century Japan and take on an evil emperor. Again good fun and if you liked the first 2 films you should enjoy this. None of the films are exactly cinematic art so shouldn't be taken seriously and just enjoyed for what they are. Fans of the turtles will love these films.

Great trip back to childhood
So this is a perfect trip back to childhood. Are they the best movies, no, they're obviously not gonna be Oscar worthy but they are well worth it for the entertainment they provide. Back in a time when special effects weren't so prominent and when you see real life version of the ninja turtles it really does make you smile. In this set you get three movies and each one has the same slap stick style comedy and cheesy one liners in them. Nothing wrong with that in fact it fits perfectly. The quality of the picture is fantastic as is the sound. Extras wise there isn't a lot but there are a few interesting bits, mainly showing the turtle suits and just how much animatronics actually went into each suit

Cheesy but funny
Cheesy but funny films. They are incredibly dated (the Vanilla Ice scene made me cringe) and I much prefer the new films, but Turtles in Time and Jurassic Park are the very first memories I have of watching films so I bought this to indulge a nostalgia trip. I would watch them again for a giggle and for the price I think I got my money's worth.

COWABUNGA!
After being available in the US for quite a while, the UK finally gets a bluray release for this hugely popular 90's trilogy. The first is easily the best, an underrated classic that blends the comedy and violence of the cartoon series, & their darker comic book counterparts. The animatronic puppetry, by Jim Henson studios, has held up very well, & really brings the awesome foursome to life in a live action setting. It's also surprisingly darker than you may remember- giving it a feeling of being a little ahead of it's time. Turtles 2 has it's moments, but definitely feels like a toned down, more child friendly follow up. The effects have aged just as well, though the fight scenes are played for comedy and lack any real punch. It's not bad though, & kids, or adults who loved these films as kids, will still get a kick out of them. The less said about the third one, the better though! The bluray transfers are sharp & colourful, most notably on the original, which brings out a wealth of detail, previously unseen on past dvd versions. There's a fairly decent, 30 minute 'making of' that mostly covers the first two films. A decent package well worth a nostalgic rewatch, or a great gift for any kids currently enjoying the excellent new Nickelodeon tv show!

Great fun!
Definitely my favourite turtle movies - the new CGI ones are just OTT action movies with little martial arts scenes in them. These costumed guys are Hong Kong stunt men & martial artists. The three blu ray movies are the full uncut versions as well, with all nunchaku scenes intact. Enjoy!

Excellent films 5* a dvd that MUST be in your collection!
Beeing a 90's kid i thought i would reminisce so i purchased this item and BOY! do i love these films. They never get old and my 3 year old boy LOVES them. I would recommend anyone whos looking at getting these. They do not disapoint. Each movie is on a separate dvd. I also seen a comment of the 3rd movie beeing a cartoon. This is NOT true. The front cover is a cartoon but the film is not. Wow they brought back some childhood memories! 5 start.

One of the DVD badly scratched: basically unwatchable.
One of the DVD badly scratched: basically unwatchable. Despite the cleaning it keeps skipping huge parts of the movie. Pity. Other DVDs from same vendor were always in good condition as promised. This is the first time it happens.
