Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)

20141115:
There was more character in the opening six movies of this movie than the entire duration of the recent 2014 movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014).* While the characters were, in some sense, less realistic, I felt much more connected with them.

Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo.

It should be noted that this connection I had with the characters in the original extends beyond the first six minutes. There's also nothing quite like Casey Jones in recent movie.

Finally, I happen to like Shredder more in this movie than the high-tech Shredder in the recent movie.

Splinter

In summary, all my votes are in favor of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (as compared to the recent 2014 one).

References James Cagney. Apparently Cagney is popularly misquoted as saying, "You dirty rat."
Haha. "Keep practicing."
