TV director Michael Pressman replaces Steve Barron for the sequel to 1990 mega-hit in the mind-numbingly silly The Secret Of The Ooze.
A rushed job to appease the studio and it's young fans it's filled with terrible humor, sloppy storytelling, plot-holes galore and plenty of catch-phrases that never actully caught on. The film is notably a lot lighter in tone and holds back on the violence, compared to the original film that spent a lot of time in the shadows. Hell, I don't even recall the turtles actually using their signature weapons more than once each here. Having not enjoyed it all that much as a kid when it was first in theaters, I wasn't expecting much with an adult revisit. I got exactly as I thought I would. Put on two pairs of nostalgia glasses over the first pair to enjoy this one, kids.
