2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
As is the case in so many ranked lists, it’s hard to top the original. And so it goes with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The 1990 original is far from perfect but without any real roadmap beyond the comics and TV show, it still hits that right balance of humor and action, while being a nice origin and character story too. It also established a tone and standard that every film that’s come after it has tried to live up to.
