What to Know

Critics Consensus

Not only is the movie's juvenile dialogue unbearable for adults, but the turtles' dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence makes them poor kids' role models.

Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune I don't think my negative reaction is a case of a parent forgetting the sort of mindless entertainment that he himself enjoyed as a child; rather the turtle fights are more depressing than joyful. Rated: 1/4 Aug 6, 2014 Full Review Michael Sragow New Yorker The artful grunge is gone -- and so's the edge. The whole movie is bright yet colorless Aug 6, 2014 Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times More dialogue-heavy and somewhat less frenetic, this sequel is somewhat more to my own taste. Aug 6, 2014 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lI: The Secret Ooze is funnier, smarter and more entertaining than the original. Mar 26, 2019 Full Review John Robinson Santa Cruz Sentinel I found myself sort of liking the turtles and you have to admit that "Cowabunga dude," is the perfect response to every question. Mar 26, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Nostalgia lens aside, it's a pretty crummy follow up to the 1990 movie. Jun 19, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Darian D Not as good as the first film but still a fun adventure, I did have some issues with this film but the good moments far outweigh the bad moments. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Abel T Batter than the first one Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review William B An Incredibly close second to the original film. Loved it then, love it Now. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review JK K Not a “great” movie by typical standards but I love it. It’s awesome to share a memory from my childhood with my kids while they laugh at the same stupid stuff I did (and still do). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Daniel M First time watching it in a long time and it was enjoyable and still a great time. Not as good as the first, but still great!
