The turtles face a new challenge when Shredder escapes from custody and joins forces with Baxter Stockman, a mad scientist who plans to use a serum to take over the world. Along for the ride are Bebop and Rocksteady, two dimwitted henchmen who provide plenty of muscle. Luckily, the turtles have their own allies in April O'Neil, Vernon Fenwick and Casey Jones, a hockey-masked vigilante. As the pizza-loving heroes prepare for battle, the notorious Krang also emerges to pose an even greater threat.

Critics Consensus

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is a slight improvement over its predecessor, but still lacks the wit or anarchic energy of the comics that birthed the franchise.

I can't think of one memorable combat scene. How sad is that?

I'm not going to say much about the plot other than it's all as absurd and as nonsensical as it sounds.

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Thankfully funnier and less serious than its predecessor, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows is still juvenile and simplistic storytelling.

Rated: 2/5

Gone With The Twins

The climax is a mess of mismatched fighting and random explosions that ramble on until it all borders on boredom.

Rated: 4/10

This 2016 sequel is a big empty nothing constantly recapping its own empty nothingness.

Deep Focus Review

The Ninja Turtles aren't engaging characters, in part because the motion-capture tech used to animate them will once again send chills down your spine, entering the Uncanny Valley of mutants, and in part because they're poorly written.

Rated: 1/4

I believe this film isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe the whole idea of the turtles being known to the public police is a very bad idea since the ninja turtles are known to be heroes in the shadows. However, I think the way this film was humorous but was also serious when it needed to be made it a good watch for me. To be honest I think this film is for some people but not for others. I do believe this film deserves a trilogy but who knows in the future we never know.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Don’t listen to all those people criticizing this film for every bit of hate that the that they found for themselves when seeing the first film or their love for the original live action films. It’s a ninja turtle movie at its best with actually a pretty decent plot and pretty good cgi mixed with better combat while also bringing nostalgia with some more villians from the original series.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

this was such a good continuation of the movie to where it's like now the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are out to the public to where it's like they're like visual antiques and our heroes to the public and just like seem like how like people react to giant mutated turtles in society and seeing people's reactions
