Spawned from a lab experiment gone awry, teenage terrapins Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael live in the sewers beneath New York.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Neither entertaining enough to recommend nor remarkably awful, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may bear the distinction of being the dullest movie ever made about talking bipedal reptiles.

Shadow and Act Staff Shadow and Act 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 Full Review Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle The whole "TMNT" movie is over-inflated; like watching an otherwise tolerable music video, stretched out to 101 minutes. Rated: 1/4 Mar 20, 2020 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times A shockingly boring, endlessly unimaginative advertisement for pizza, soft drinks and the capitalist ideal. Rated: 1/5 Mar 20, 2020 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 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. Rated: D+ Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Benjamín Harguindey EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 3/10 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 0.5/4 Jul 29, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

zach S. it’s a micheal bay movie and you can tell because shredder looks like a aoe or tlk transformer. the movie itself is alright, i think the action is done well and the cgi for the turtles is great. the story is kinda boring and the movie feels like filler for a while but it’s definitely entertaining. the turtle designs are alright, i don’t hate them as much as other people. i think overall it’s a fun movie but not the best Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Vinny P MC MIKRY 🐢🐢🐢🐢💙💜♥️🧡🍕🍕🍕🍕 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Alexandria B Great movie! Full of action and amazing fight scenes way ahead of its time. The graffiti art of the Turtles and Splinter is top-tier. I honestly don’t understand all the hate just because the story changed a little from the original doesn’t make it bad. Easily one of the best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remakes! 🐢🔥 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/25 Full Review JACOB B. teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was such a good movie it's stick to the story and I love that name made it to wear like April O'Neill is really the owner of the turtles and it was really cool to see how Paramount just delivered a really good movie that just has good storytelling character development and just did not miss the mark of the show but I really wish they would have followed like the show to wear the daughter of splinter found out her real father Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Amir M I first watched this movie I don't know if it was the sequel or the original but Michael Bay and Paramount prioritize creating a new big budget movie franchise then telling an actually compelling plot also the turtle designs are scary and just plain ugly, the only saving grace of this film is the motion capture is impressive, but if you want to show your kids a ninja turtles movie I HIGHLY recommend showing them the 1990 version were the turtle suits look more realistic then all the doo doo CGI Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Ben S It wasn't too bad, but it has some problems. For starters, dialogue can be a bit iffy at times & the characterization is pretty dumb, but the performances, action sequences, & visuals are all pretty good, although the final battle copies The Amazing Spider-Man. 6/10, watch if you want dumb fun (or if you're on meds).
