A-
"It's a delight to report that the return of the brawlin' reptiles lives up to and surpasses even the most potent expectations."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"Kevin Munroe hasn't done a half-bad job bringing the Turtles into the new century"  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

C-
"A throughline of organized violence permeates "TMNT" as a baby step toward preparing youngsters to become soldiers in America's never-ending war on humanity."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

4/5
"It's so much fun that we forget that it's actually about something as ridiculous as crimefighting, sword-wielding turtles."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

C
"Unfortunately, while the technology used to bring these fearless crime-fighting faves to the screen has grown-up, the producers forgot to mature the script."  EDGE Boston  David Foucher

.5/4
"Strictly generic junk that could very well deaden the brain cells of children everywhere."  TheMovieBoy.com  Dustin Putman

1.5/4
"Impersonally animated and arbitrarily plotted, the story appears to have been made up as the filmmakers went along."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B-
"TMNT is as good a movie about teenage mutant ninja turtles as there can possibly be."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

3/4
"Great animation, good voice work, and an entertaining story make it a revival worth watching again and again..."  Cinema Crazed  Felix Vasquez Jr.

2/4
"Munroe's TMNT fails to properly ignite this glorified video game into the pop cultural diversion it was during the very first Bush administration."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

D+
"Some turtles live a very long time, but on the evidence of this bewilderingly complex but curiously pedestrian movie, the teenage mutant ninja variety has passed its prime."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"Ageing fans of the originals with lowered expectations will have an okay-ish time."  Sci-Fi Movie Page  James O'Ehley

7/10
"Click here to read review"  sumno.com  Jaroslav Vishtaljuk

7/10
"Although it may not win points for total originality, TMNT makes good use of proven techniques."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Jeffrey Chen

5/10
"Maybe if I were ten years old I would have enjoyed the film more."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"When the children rejoice at being able to leave, there is a problem."  3BlackChicks Review  Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel

3.5/4.0
"Works better, looks smarter, and packs in more realistic drama than many of its live-action genre counterparts."  MovieCrypt.com  Kevin A. Ranson

4/5
"really nothing more than an overblown Saturday morning cartoon, but it didn't need to be anything more than that. The turtles rocked, and I had a blast."  Film School Rejects  Kevin Carr

2/4
"Looks good, with its overly cartoonish characters and grungy depiction of NYC, but it's hollow to the core."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

B-
"TMNT amounts to no more than an extended episode of a television cartoon, but this new adventure gets in enough laughs and action to make it worth fans coming out with their shells on to see it."  Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema  Mark Pfeiffer

"[T]akes it all so darn seriously that you can't even lose yourself in its goofiness..."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

3/4
"It's good for kids and existing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans. The movie will please those who it was meant to please."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

C
"The real power in the TMNT stories is the transformation, but in this movie that's all in the past, and it is difficult to get much satisfaction from the comeback premise or the attempts to create some sibling rivalry. It's more video game than story."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Sua animação sofisticada acaba compensando parcialmente (seus) defeitos, resultando num longa falho, mas que tem seus atrativos."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

C
"I concede that it won't kill you, even if it feels like watching someone else play a decade-old video game."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

3.5/5
"Clearly we're not talking Shakespeare here, but taken at face value, the new-fangled TMNT is quite a lot better than what I'd expected."  Cinematical  Scott Weinberg

C+
"This is no mythic rebirth like Batman Begins or Superman Returns, simply another generically smart-alecky chapter directed with a visual style attuned to speed."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

6/10
"It's never, ever a good thing when the first trouble sign of a bad story comes in the opening scene."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

1/4
"It doesn't need a review, it just needs a marquee so its audience will find it and get to the business of forgetting about it."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

2.5/4
