This version of TMNT doesn’t quite have the heart or development that keeps you as engaged or entertained throughout. It does some parts well but mostly it falls flat.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 19, 2024

The way the turtles relate to their past, their father, and the villain of the movie, in such an improbable way that it seems forced -- even for a comic. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 15, 2023

I can’t think of a recent blockbuster that’s been raked across the coals as much as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

| Sep 15, 2022

Indeed, motion capture and a push toward photo-real animation result in rather gross heroes (with nostrils), particularly in the case of Splinter, whose slimy quality incites some latent Bubonic anxiety.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jul 29, 2022

Perhaps I'm overthinking a movie about Ninja turtles, but the film wants you to underthink and that's the problem.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 1, 2021

The ninjitsu, pizza cravings, and hi-tech accouterments might not be so easy to digest if the imagery wasn't so familiar.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Fundamentally moronic, badly lit, horridly choreographed, and badly focused film.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 25, 2020

Why is April O'Neil the main character in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie?

| Original Score: C- | Jul 7, 2020

I feel like there was an opportunity to make something entertaining, and it was squandered by a movie that's simultaneously trying too hard and not trying hard enough.

| Mar 20, 2020

The whole "TMNT" movie is over-inflated; like watching an otherwise tolerable music video, stretched out to 101 minutes.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 20, 2020

Like it or not, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stays gratifyingly close to Eastman and Laird's original vision. Nice one.

| Mar 20, 2020

It's not particularly smart, nor do any of the situations happen naturally, nor does it do much with the franchise...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 20, 2020

1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a plain cheese with a little pepperoni for flavor. The 2014 Ninja Turtles is that awful, excessive-looking Pizza Hut pizza with too many toppings and the "cheese"-filled crust nuggets that nobody really wanted.

| Mar 20, 2020

The result is like watching a fireworks display. It's an okay way to pass an hour or so, but you'll forget about it minutes later.

| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Mar 20, 2020

A shockingly boring, endlessly unimaginative advertisement for pizza, soft drinks and the capitalist ideal.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 20, 2020

The "heroes in a half shell" are back, except this time producer Michael Bay slaps on his style of action and over-dependence on CGI, or computer-generated imagery.

| Aug 14, 2019

As if aliens from another galaxy who have never seen a movie before stumbled across a Michael Bay film and attempted to make their own.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jul 5, 2019

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is uncomplicated fun, offering nothing new save for the sad novelty of seeing Megan Fox be treated like an actual human being.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 31, 2019

Turtle fans deserve better.

| Original Score: D | May 2, 2019

The characters are sketch-ily drawn, the humour conspicuous by its absence and the special effects that went into creating the creatures rather pedestrian.
