Spawned from a lab experiment gone awry, teenage terrapins Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael live in the sewers beneath New York. Although their rodent sensei, Splinter, advises against showing themselves above ground, the justice-loving, pizza-eating brothers can't stand idly by while evil Shredder and his minions terrorize the city. With help from intrepid reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and her cameraman (Will Arnett), the Turtles set out to save New York.

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.

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

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

Irish Times

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

Rated: 1/5

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+

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

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

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

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

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).

This was an awesome and fun reboot. Not as heartfelt as the original '90s movie, but it rocks.
