Spawned from a lab experiment gone awry, teenage terrapins Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael live in the sewers beneath New York. Although their rodent sensei, Splinter, advises against showing themselves above ground, the justice-loving, pizza-eating brothers can't stand idly by while evil Shredder and his minions terrorize the city. With help from intrepid reporter April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and her cameraman (Will Arnett), the Turtles set out to save New York.

Critics Consensus

Neither entertaining enough to recommend nor remarkably awful, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles may bear the distinction of being the dullest movie ever made about talking bipedal reptiles.

I can’t think of a recent blockbuster that’s been raked across the coals as much as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The whole "TMNT" movie is over-inflated; like watching an otherwise tolerable music video, stretched out to 101 minutes.

A shockingly boring, endlessly unimaginative advertisement for pizza, soft drinks and the capitalist ideal.

This version of TMNT doesn’t quite have the heart or development that keeps you as engaged or entertained throughout. It does some parts well but mostly it falls flat.

0.5/4

Indeed, motion capture and a push toward photo-real animation result in rather gross heroes (with nostrils), particularly in the case of Splinter, whose slimy quality incites some latent Bubonic anxiety.

Perhaps I'm overthinking a movie about Ninja turtles, but the film wants you to underthink and that's the problem.

Perhaps the ugliest/most terrifying version of the turtles I think I have ever seen. Story wise there is nothing new here.

movie looks great, like someone perfectly brought the cartoon into real life, but that is where most of the praise ends. The story is awkward, the action is boring, and some characters make such silly choices that it feels like the visuals were doing all the hard work.

REALLY GOOD! Had a lot of fun action. It may be a little explosion heavy but that's Michael Bay's style. MUCH better than the sequel. That's for sure.
