This DVD contains the last episode of the "Turtles in Space" story arc (which frankly, we should've gotten on the last dvd) and the complete "Secret Origins" 3-parter.
Unfortunately, I disagree with the previous reviewer. Yes, if you're a fan of the new series, you NEED to see these episodes - a shocking plot point concerning the Shredder is revealed here, which seperates this series from every other TMNT continuity before it. There are also some hilarious references to the classic toon from the early 90's that older fans will appreciate.
However, Secret Origins is badly written and poorly paced. The major revelation is broadcasted so far in advance that even the youngest fans will pick up on it. The Turtles spend a little too much time in the virtual reality simulator, which is somewhat amusing but really pointless. And Baxter, for no real plausible reason, has been coerced again into working for the Shredder. These episodes are still a lot of fun, but don't come off quite as strong as the "Return to New York" arc from season 1, which I feel is the best.
But enough with that. Ninja Turtles has never been about strong writing or plot, but lots and lots of cool action. Get this disc. |
