Synopsis

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles return in an all-new CGI action adventure, written and directed by Kevin Munroe. After the defeat of their old arch nemesis, The Shredder, the Turtles have grown apart as a family. Struggling to keep them together, their rat sensei, Splinter (Mako), becomes worried when strange things begin to brew in New York City. Tech-industrialist Maximillian J. Winters (Patrick Stewart) is raising up an army of ancient monsters, and only one super-ninja fighting team can stop them-- Leonardo (James Arnold Taylor), Michelangelo (Mikey Kelley), Donatello (Mitchell Whitfield) and Raphael (Nolan North)! With the help of old allies April O'Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Casey Jones (Chris Evans), the Turtles are in for the fight of their lives as they once again must face the mysterious Foot Clan, who have put their own ninja skills behind Winters' endeavors.

...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.

Tom Charity

A passable brand rebooting exercise that will impress younger kids even if it doesn't satisfy older fans.

Stephen Garrett

What remains is intensely numbing action scenes, poor plot machinations and joyless character sketches all rendered in exquisitely cold CGI.

Richard Roeper

I guess if you read the comic strip and you played the video games and you watched the TV show and dug the earlier movies, you'll dig this new version. For me, I didn't do any of that stuff.

Claudia Puig

It takes more than an awkward title attempting to sound cool to overcome its mundane plot and silly dialogue.

Peter Howell

Worst of all is the lack of genuine laughs. Writer-director Kevin Munroe has apparently forgotten that the Ninja Turtle phenomenon started as rib-nudging parody.

Everything should look familiar to longtime turtles fans -- their underground sanctuary, complete with video games; the rooftops where the heroes convene at night, surveying the city. But it all looks and feels reconceived, refreshingly so.

LOVE EM. Okay first off Mikey is awesome stfu bout him. Second he is not anoyying hr is the youngest of his brothers and the funniest. Third The plot is clear and of you don't under stand it watch it again. And don't even get me started on the understanding there origin. If you were a real tmnt fan you'd love this movie faw the old ones either stick with the future or fail in the past. Honestly the dumb as f bad comments get on my nerves. Ugh! Overalll I love the plot and the charcters and such forth. Piece out!

Sam Rothermel April 2, 2014

A bit of a mixed bag It starts off pretty interesting but while it tries to develop more character it kind of ends up missing the boat. The plot is completely off the wall but that's not so bad. I liked the animation and styling that invokes a serious comic book flair. The look is a good way to carry on the fun and absurd story of the ninja turtles.

Elisa Anchondo July 31, 2014

Amazing! This movie is action packed and funny. Mikey is his same crazy adventurous fun loving self, Leo is the protective stubborn leader but i love him. Donny still loves his machines and mechanics as always. Raph is my absolute favorite though, with his attitude he is more stubborn than Leo he wants to do things his way. I absolutely love this movie!! <3

Ryan Caughy August 7, 2014

Great CGI film Great CGI animation and voice dubbing too. Film has it's flaws but so does every film out there and the best part of this film is it's something everyone(not just turtle fans) can watch and enjoy

Hank T July 31, 2014

Eh Wasn't really what you could expect from a TMNT movie and not to mention the plot was absolute garbage mashed up with a poor excuse for the mythos of the characters. Boring, cliche, conflicted story.

Christopher McWain July 28, 2014

Of course I'm a fan of the turtles, but this version was too far from source to be considered good by fans. I miss the film noir, gritty style of the original.

Mackenzie Shaw February 21, 2014

Whoa I haven't this movie in years. This was my first TMNT film of them before I become one of their fans. I love this move

Jill Mauro June 25, 2014

Adam Lacy May 12, 2014

Cool Pizza... A more dramatic turn for the Turtle squad, but very entertaining nonetheless. I just wished the Shredder made a cameo at least...
