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.

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle 03/20/2020
1/4
The whole "TMNT" movie is over-inflated; like watching an otherwise tolerable music video, stretched out to 101 minutes. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 03/20/2020
1/5
A shockingly boring, endlessly unimaginative advertisement for pizza, soft drinks and the capitalist ideal. Go to Full Review JD Duran InSession Film 08/19/2024

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. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 07/29/2022
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. Go to Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 02/01/2021

Perhaps I'm overthinking a movie about Ninja turtles, but the film wants you to underthink and that's the problem. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Oaklee D @ODie63 May 9 Perhaps the ugliest/most terrifying version of the turtles I think I have ever seen. Story wise there is nothing new here. See more BANNER B @Banner-Blair May 8 Not a fan of the origin, but other than that pretty good See more Neil B @Neil25 Apr 25 Horrible looking cgi steroid turtles and a tramp megan fox avoid See more Wyatt C @RT59665593 Mar 30 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. See more What's Up M @Hello1234 Jan 31 Great movie. Don't know why people hate it so much. See more Noah H @Noah85 Dec 31 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. See more Read all reviews
