Critics Consensus

TMNT's art direction is splendid, but the plot is non-existent and the dialogue lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier Ninja Turtles movies.

The strongest ingredient remains the four reptiles' incorrigible charm, which easily outclasses a muddled storyline and concessions to the prepubescent male audience.

The characters look like plastic dolls, and the story is recycled sci-fi.

...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.

As a film, it's curious. It feels like an intermediary story.

The Turtles still eat pizza, they still skateboard, and they're still totally badass.

Kids will undoubtedly want to check out these new improved Turtles . . . and a lot of parents will probably be glad to have, uh, shelled out the extra bucks to relive their own childhoods alongside them.

Rightful cinematic medium surpassing its quirky live-action predecessors while somewhat squandered when the deliverance is mechanically half-fulfilled but satisfyingly fun nonetheless when presenting the core defining elements between the well-performed humorous heart and rushed midway action sequences amidst problematically contrived narration.

Very good action scenes with great sense of scale. The animation sometimes looks cheap. It’s very good I don’t understand why the critics hate it.

It's a good movie and also people probably don't like the art style but I do and fun fact this was the fourth from the live action and I just like the movie if you don't that's okay
