Clever if rather mechanical.

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.

Reviews for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 - The Secret of...
This lacks the darkness and subtlty that makes th first film so good, and so adult, but its simplified plot and gags will appeal to the under tens.
The murky lighting, uninteresting human characters and violence of the original have been modified in the more amiable sequel, mostly to good effect.
One can have a reasonably amusing time with this predictable sequel, which is a bit longer on action and shorter on wit and character than the original.
The Turtles, when not battling Shredder or providing Vanilla Ice with the basis for a rap number, kid around in enjoyable ways.
The muppets look mighty fake, and Vanilla Ice was better in Cool as Ice, but check out wrestler Kevin Nash as Super Shredder.
Not only insulting to your intelligence, but also harmful for children to watch.
Next time, if the Turtles really want to hurt 'em, they should call on Hammer.
