What to Know

Critics Consensus

TMNT's art direction is splendid, but the plot is non-existent and the dialogue lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier Ninja Turtles movies.

Tim Grierson Screen International The strongest ingredient remains the four reptiles' incorrigible charm, which easily outclasses a muddled storyline and concessions to the prepubescent male audience. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Hollywood Reporter The characters look like plastic dolls, and the story is recycled sci-fi. Aug 2, 2007 Full Review Tasha Robinson AV Club ...while the visuals are terrific, the plot is a distracting clunker that feels like it was written one line at a time by a bunch of overexcited fan-board commentators playing a round-robin storytelling game. Rated: C+ Apr 5, 2007 Full Review Sean Collier Box Office Prophets As a film, it's curious. It feels like an intermediary story. Rated: 5/10 Sep 4, 2020 Full Review Megan Seling The Stranger (Seattle, WA) The Turtles still eat pizza, they still skateboard, and they're still totally badass. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review Jamie Russell Radio Times It's not quite as grown-up as it wants to be, but it's still a polished revival of a franchise that many thought long dead.

Blue O Nightwatcher carried the movie! The turtles are better than the ones from Mutant Mayhem, and no Shredder! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/30/24 Full Review Jinx H WHY DOES THIS MOVIE HAVE SUCH BAD REVIEW </3 Okay, first of all the animation in unique and different, and I'd argue good for it's time. The story is new and fresh, but also has that familiar feeling of the TMNT characters we know and love. The plot is more mature, rather than comedic, which I admit I was apprehensive of at first, yet it worked. The dynamics of Leonardo and Raph felt well represented, better then we've seen in other TMNT movies and shows. I've always found Raphael and Leonardos rivalry to be rushed, out of character, and unneeded, yet this movie does an amazing job at showing how this part of their characters actually makes sense. It's not that Raphael is upset at Leo for being the leader, like in many other versions, it's that he doesn't want to be led. Raph found his own ways to do things with Leo being gone, and he feels unrepresented and controlled now that Leo is back, so it makes sense for him to feel the need to disobey Leo and Splinter. I will say that while I liked the focus on Leo and Raph, I wish Mikey and Donnie had gotten more involved with their conflict, rather then being off to the side and always grouped with each other. It also made no sense for Leo to go after the Nightwatcher, I don't know why that happened. They did Leo a little dirty overall, with Splinter strongly enforcing him as the leader. While Leo is their leader, the turtles are usually indepentent and often do solo missions, so it didn't make sense that they all just had to sit back while he was gone. Back to positive, thought the pacing of this movie was pretty spot on, a hot take. I was involved the whole time, and always knew what was going on. Another positive was Casey and April!!!! AHH I adore them both in this movie. I thought their relationship was cute, and I thought April felt badass, but also caring and genuine. I also loved Casey and Raph's relationship being showcased. Karai also made a decent appearence, which helped keep the authenticity of the TMNT. I thought the Japanese rep could've been more highlighted, but I did like that they gave Karai an accent, that was a nice touch. Overall, this movie isn't talked about enough and does not deserve all this hate. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Bobby B The movie transcends but the nightwatcher gave me so much it wasn't even a turtle film it was horror and action in one so great. Mt childhood started with this Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Audience Member If you are a TMNT fan watch this! I’m glad this film has gotten more recognition in the past years because it’s pretty great! The action and writing is fantastic! The voice acting is also top notch with a great cast. It truly feels like a sequel to the 90’s trilogy and that’s a great thing! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Qua'Mik C i loved the fights the story it's a good movie and it played a huge part of my childhood Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/23 Full Review Sirius Not only is it action packed and super cool, there's tons of witty banter and dialogue and it really harks back to the comics. The designs are splendid and I love the difference in the personalities. Donnie isn't portrayed as a meek tech guy for once, Mikey is just a goofy kid, Raph has anger issues, and Leo isn't a perfect leader. Casey and April in the movie were awesome! And it was so cool seeing Splinter actually be a fully trained master instead of a lazy rat. I love this iteration of the turtles and always will.
