Haven't seen Rocketeer or MIB, but I never liked the first TMNT movie, so I'll go chalk and pick MIB.

Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Pre-2000 Group 2 Post by: Sunstroke on March 31, 2020, 11:58:04 am I'm the only person to vote for The Rocketeer? You guys suck. ;) Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Pre-2000 Group 2 Post by: Dave Gray on March 31, 2020, 12:16:22 pm I have actually never seen the Rocketeer. ...which is weird, because I'm the right age for it. I remember it being in theaters, but for some reason, I just missed it.
I chose Batman, which is not a movie I love, but it was a big deal at the time and a lot of the imagery is pretty great. And I also chose Men in Black, which I still think is a pretty good movie. Props also to TMNT, though. It was much more of a real movie than other toy/cartoon cash-ins at the time. And the practical effects of the suits are pretty good. I don't think it's a great movie or anything, but compared to how bad that movie should be, it's pretty amazing. Title: Re: TDMMC Comic Book Movie Madness: Pre-2000 Group 2 Post by: Sunstroke on March 31, 2020, 12:30:37 pm I can honestly say that I have never seen any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies or cartoons...none of it. It just never appealed to me enough to sit down and watch it. The Rocketeer, on the other hand, is a very cool period piece from the 1930's about pilots. inventors and nazis, with a healthy amount of Jennifer Connelly in there for yummy aesthetic purposes..
