What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review Michael Sragow The New Yorker 08/06/2014
The artful grunge is gone -- and so's the edge. The whole movie is bright yet colorless Go to Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 08/06/2014
More dialogue-heavy and somewhat less frenetic, this sequel is somewhat more to my own taste. Go to Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Mar 20
