Consensus: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is exactly as advertised: one-liners, brawls, and general silliness. Good for the young at heart, irritating for everyone else.

Reviews for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie
Scores with its generally engaging tongue-in-cheek humor.
04/28/08
Top CriticA well-rounded, unpretentious, very funny, knockabout adventure -- subtly blended so that it's fun for all the family.
04/28/08
By no means exceptional, but you have to admire the turtle performers for their agility, and Elia Corteas for keeping a straight face.
04/28/08
Entertaining enough to gloss over the crassness of its underpinnings.
04/25/07
The results are high-spirited martial arts and comedy.
04/25/07
Top CriticIt is itself a mutant of sorts, a contentious, unsightly hybrid of martial-arts exploitation film and live-action cartoon.
07/01/06
Top CriticBetween the dubbed dialogue and the dark visuals, the cumulative effect is curiously dislocating.

A defeated shrug is in order for this revival of the 1990 craze for green amphibious warriors, schooled in Asian martial arts, named after Renaissance masters and addicted to pizza.
01/15/04
Four pizza-loving turtles emerge from their shells to battle crime in this inexplicably successful kiddie flick, which now looks as dated as it is silly.
12/10/03
Let us not contemplate the sorts of lustful images that must run through the mind of a hormonal teen-age turtle.
