Rotten 32%

(1-10) of 88

Rotten Ditching the cheeky, self-aware wink that helped to excuse the concept's inherent corniness, the movie attempts to look polished and 'cool,' but the been-there animation can't compete with the then-cutting-edge puppetry of the 1990 live-action movie.

Critic Peter Debruge
Variety

Fresh TMNT is a fun, action-filled adventure that will satisfy longtime fans and generate a legion of new ones.

Critic Todd Gilchrist
IGN Movies

Fresh The striking use of image and motion allows each of its action sequences to leave an impression. It's an accomplished, unpretentious restart to this franchise.

Critic Mark Palermo
Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

Rotten A throughline of organized violence permeates "TMNT" as a baby step toward preparing youngsters to become soldiers in America's never-ending war on humanity.

Critic Cole Smithey

Rotten The turtles themselves may look prettier, but are no smarter; torn irreparably from their countercultural roots, our superheroes on the half shell have been firmly co-opted by the industry their creators once sought to spoof.

Critic Jeannette Catsoulis
New York Times

Rotten Impersonally animated and arbitrarily plotted, the story appears to have been made up as the filmmakers went along.

Critic Ed Gonzalez
Slant Magazine

Rotten The script feels like it was computer generated. This very mechanical presentation lacks the wonderfully cheesy charm of the three live action films.

Critic Steve Rhodes
Internet Reviews

Rotten The rubber suits are gone and they've been redone with fancy computer generated technology, but that hasn't stopped them from becoming, well, dull.

Critic Joshua Tyler
CinemaBlend.com

Fresh The animated fight scenes are both beautiful and realistic. You forget you're watching a computer-animated feature. In a film about ninja turtles, you couldn't really ask for anything more. Other than perhaps a sequel, that is.

Critic Misha Davenport
Chicago Sun-Times

Fresh TMNT offers some real thrills. The computer animation gives the turtles relatively believable expressions, movements, musculature and (green) skin tones.
