I recently watched the first two and loved them just as much as I did when I was younger. And I don't think it's just nostalgia as my wife enjoyed both and had never seen them prior. You can actually get a cheapo 4-pack of the movies now. I got that for Christmas along with Season 1 of the original cartoon.

You can get the first three for cheap on blu ray now, even!
I've got that set but haven't actually watched them yet :X. Did pop in TMNT1 a bit and skipped around, looked pretty nice to me. Jim Henson's effects work has aged very very well, it looks fantastic.

I always wished that Krang / Dimension X had found a way into the movies... maybe Michael Bay will do that since he mentioned "alien origins" or whatever.
Pretty sure that project has been sent to the circular file.
As mindless/bombastic/xenophobic as the first, but not as much action-y. At least the filming locations are nice. And ugh at the daughter character, again.
Creepy for a kids-movie. I tried to watch it back on Halloween in 2011 when it reaired (for the first time in 11 years), but a storm fucked up the reception, and I recently DL'ed that very reairing (minus commericals) off of Cinemageddon.
