   I have recently had cause to watch the first two TMNT movies for the first time. When I was a kid I never liked TMNT; it was everywhere, every kid loved it, but I just didn't get the appeal. However, I believe I have determined the missing puzzle piece that I failed to understand back then, which is: it's very dumb

     @SpindleyQ I'm afraid to revisit these films. I really liked the first one as a kid, and don't want to ruin the memory in case it isn't actually good.

     For instance: Splinter's backstory is that he was a ninja master's pet rat. He became a wise old ninja master himself by imitating his owner's moves. While he was a regular-sized rat. This is explained very dramatically, in flashback, with shots of a rat puppet punching and kicking the air in his cage.

     There are only two possible reactions to this:
     1. that's ridiculous *eyeroll, shaking head*
     2. that's ridiculous *giggling*

     @SpindleyQ Maybe I'll revisit the first one then.

     @dosnostalgic
     They hold up pretty well IMO! I was not expecting to enjoy them as much as I did. My 14-year-old liked them both a lot as well.
