Critics Consensus

Not only is the movie's juvenile dialogue unbearable for adults, but the turtles' dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence makes them poor kids' role models.

1/4

I don't think my negative reaction is a case of a parent forgetting the sort of mindless entertainment that he himself enjoyed as a child; rather the turtle fights are more depressing than joyful.

The artful grunge is gone -- and so's the edge. The whole movie is bright yet colorless

More dialogue-heavy and somewhat less frenetic, this sequel is somewhat more to my own taste.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lI: The Secret Ooze is funnier, smarter and more entertaining than the original.

I found myself sort of liking the turtles and you have to admit that "Cowabunga dude," is the perfect response to every question.
