3.0 out of 5 stars All is finally revealed, August 31, 2004

By 

Simon (Brampton, ON) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Secret Origins (Volume 10) (DVD)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing Part of an Episode, October 27, 2004

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Secret Origins (Vol. 10) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I recommend not purchasing this video tape. The storylines and animation are top form, as usual. I rated this tape low because there are 4 or 5 minutes missing from the second episode on the tape - a fair sized omission when an episode is only about 20 minutes long. The last 4 or 5 minutes of the "Secret Origins, Part 1" episode are not to be found on this tape. I contacted 4 Kids Entertainment about a problem with another tape (see my review of "The Ultimate Ninja"), and received prompt and courteous replies. After reading Lunn's review, I wrote to 4 Kids Entertainment asking if there were any problems with this tape such as Lunn described. 4 Kids Entertainment's response was that there were no problems, and Lunn was the only person to indicate that there was a problem. Imagine my surprise when I received my copy of this tape, and the tape had the same problem Lunn described in their review here on Amazon.com. No response so far from 4 Kids Entertainment when I wrote to them about there being a problem with my copy of this tape. I'll update if I do hear from 4 Kids Entertainment. Amazon.com provided excellent customer service about my problem (as they always do!), but of course Amazon.com cannot do anything about the missing segment.

Again, my rating solely reflects the quality of this tape, i.e. the missing segment of the episode "Secret Origins, Part 1". My opinion of the animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series remains very high. I just didn't realize that when I became a fan of this new animated series purchasing DVDs and a DVD player were prerequisites. Or that getting all, and/or all of, the episodes described on the tape sleeve would become a hit and miss proposition. :(

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect complete episodes, August 17, 2004

I purchased this video and, as long as you aren't expecting to be able to watch the entire episode, it is okay. I contacted the company to complain about a missing segment and they won't even acknowledge there is a problem, let alone replace the tape with a good one. Maybe you will have better luck. . . .
