Hitfix
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is about as predictable as movies get these days. - 58
The A.V. Club
What the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lacks is not fidelity, but a spirit of genuine boyish fun. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The castmembers portraying Splinter and the turtles achieve a persuasive level of realism that was never possible with the elaborate puppetry required for the original film series and adequately fulfill expectations for their characters. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The action beats are bigger and better than they’ve ever been in a Ninja Turtle film — brawls, shootouts, a snowy car-and-truck chase with big explosions and what not. But in between those scenes is an awful lot of chatter and exposition. For a film that aims younger (save for the die-hards who grew up with this franchise), that’s deadly dull. - 42
The Playlist
It can't be overstated what kind of a marvel these Turtles are onscreen, however. As crude and unpleasant their design might be, they feel like living, breathing things, not special effects. - 40
Variety
Neither a particularly good movie nor the pop-cultural travesty that some were dreading. - 40
Time Out
Utterly inessential, this slightly cheap-looking reboot of the Turtles franchise is froth too — it might even be too tame for the kids who make up the target audience. - 30
TheWrap
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a movie that takes its characters and its premise seriously, until it doesn't, and that operates at two speeds: tortoise (ponderous) and hare (head-spinning).
