10 Bad Movies That Prove Nostalgia Is For Idiots

1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993)

TMNT-III In the late €˜80s and early €˜90s the Ninja Turtles were everywhere. From cartoons, comics, toys and eventually a live action movie. The original film (while no masterpiece) is a fun and awesome movie that still holds up today. The Turtles used curse words and for a kids movie it was actually kind of dark. A year later a sequel came about, The Secret of the Ooze. The movie (surely trying to appeal to a wider audience) toned down the violence substantially and was a lot more silly. The movie furthered the story of the Turtles and was an acceptable sequel to the original. About two years later we got another sequel simply titled €˜Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3€™. It was about the Turtles going back in time to Ancient Japan to save April O€™Neal, or something like that. The movie featured no villains from the comics or TV show. No Shredder, no Krang, no nothing! As a kid you were such a huge Turtles fan that you just accepted it. You buried the truth deep inside. As an adult you realized just how horrible the movie was. First off, Master Splinter looks like road kill. The animatronics are ridiculous, the Turtles talking look more like sock puppets. There are far less fight scenes than its two predecessors. The dialogue is terrible with lines such as €œI swallowed a frog, hope it wasn€™t an ancestor.€ This movie really is tough to watch from an adult perspective. Do you have a soft spot for any of the entries on this list? Let us know in the comments section.
