This isn't the real TMNT that we all love. This is absolute garbage. Sad to see.

have never seen a movie be so blatant with its lack of identity.

It's not even a good pastiche. It literally copies from another intellectual property towards the end of the movie.

We get it, the writers are clearly super-fans of "Attack on Titan" but it just gets ridiculous when you have the protagonists mention it in two, totally disparate sections of the film and then it becomes a plot point.

Also, the sizeable amount of real life pop-culture references thrown about the film removes any kind of fantasy into the world and just makes it very unimaginative. And can we talk about vomit scenes? Since when was someone puking for 30 seconds funny?

The only positives I can think of is the animation. Not even Jackie Chan's and Ice Cubes' voice acting talent can save this.

Jackie and Cube might be the only bright spots as the voice actors.
The musical choices were complimentary to the style.

The Plot and the humor compete for the letdown. Rare misstep by Seth Rogen here.
The four central characters were without charm and without nostalgia there is very little to like about this movie.

Found myself walking out early from an early screening I paid for.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost, this is a reboot. With that said, they still changed too much and mostly for the worse. I just can't even, I am sure it all has been said already.

The Good:
As for audio/visual/presentation, I liked it. The animated comic sketch style works, and some of the ambient sound tracks were pretty good. The fight scenes were pretty good. I had a few short laughs at the humor. I enjoyed the color palettes and camera work. Jackie Chan and Ice Cube were the voice highlights for me. The choice of vehicles for the villains was a nice touch.

The Horrible:
However, the overall character designs are bad. Nearly every character just doesn't feel right in some way for me. The biggest culprits are April and Splinter. The mutant villains are mostly useless. Ray Fillet is just useless. There are nitpick issues that annoyed me; how do Donatello's glasses stay on, couldn't they use goggles and have glasses for the casual scenes? Why does Mikey have braces? There are large to small design choices that bring everything down for me.

More Griping:
The Turtles have neutralized and overall silly personalities, are less menacing, and more cute. Choice of voice acting (no New York accents at all, not even Raph) missed the mark for me.

Splinter learns martial arts through video tapes (really?) and has a thing with Scumbug. April is more masculine and shaped like a potato along with Leo's crush on April. Maybe just have all the turtles generally like April? The whole milking concept and how the Turtles don't respect/honor Splinter. They totally removed the "Sensei" in Splinter.

This movie definately won't satisfy the fans of the older Ninja Turtles. In fact, it will aienate and annoy them with bad story, horrible changes in characters and unfunny humor. The only positive is the great animation.

Within the first 10 seconds I think to myself, am I supposed to be high to enjoy this "artsy" animation?

This movie fell hugely flat in all but storyline - but that fell apart as an homage to attack on titan took over. So frankly, ruined iconic characters to fit a trashy Japanese animation series.

Some minor comic reliefs throughout, not overtly comedic or interesting. Storyline attempts to answer plot holes up front, which did not need addressing at all to fit the TNMNT narrative.

Complete trash.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As someone who grew up with every version of the turtles, I can say 100% this movie was not made for true TMNT fans this was more for newcomers and casuals. Ever since the second Michael Bay movie dropped (which had the same plot presence of the turtles wanting to be accepted and like humans just like this movie) we started to move further and further from who the turtles are and had a huge drop in quality. Rise of the tmnt wasn't good story-wise even though they tried fixing it way too late and the same can be said for this movie. They completely ruined the origins of the turtles, splinter, and the mutants not to mention Shredder nor the foot have any presence in the movie and now the turtles are going to go to high school like regular humans now. One of the main points a few of the older iterations make is to accept who you are and be grateful of your life, though it might not be perfect. they should've just made a whole other movie if they were going to change so much and strip so much identity from the turtles I get that adaptations are supposed to be fresh and brand new but most adaptations pay respect to the OG source material. Now the turtles go to high school like regular humans and Shredder is going to be a Kraven the Hunter type of villain in the sequel. They completely ruined the ninja turtle part for a new take on the teenager part and I hate the argument that people say they're finally acting like teenagers or they sound like teenagers they've always acted like teenagers just different generations of teenagers for that time period and not all teenagers have voices like that let's not forget that they're mutated turtles, not regular human beings. The movie had some funny moments and a few cool easter eggs I'll give it that but it wasn't made for og turtle fans to fans up to the 2012 series this movie was made for the TikTok always on social media crowd and the late-gen z kids. I remember a time when we used to get cool shows and movies and it's sad to see them butcher all of these characters and franchises like this. Expand

I get the whole using teenagers to voice the turtles but even my 5 year old was confused by the voice of Donatello...he sounds like a kid not a teen. Poor voice casting on a lot of the characters and the story was a little boring.

Fat interracial April was a little odd too...just didn't seem to fit the role.
Just an opinion obviously the movie did/is doing well but as a fan of everything else tmnt...this movie was so so disappointing.

Whoever wrote this film is clearly on cocaine and highly ADHD. I appreciate that this film actually does occasionally try to have morals, but it runs over them so badly and so quickly with incessant jokes, endless pop references that will be entirely irrelevant 5 minutes after you leave the theater, and characters who constantly talk over one another. It is annoying and sometimes makes you want to tune out. The writers clearly understand this, but rather than write a better script with better actors who properly suit each role, they just spell out the message to the viewer so there is absolutely no thinking required. And, yes, of course, there was vast deference paid to DEI ESG scoring over substance and drama and archetypes and character. They check all the woke boxes (is Splinter really gay now with no actual martial arts training beyond youtube videos? Did I see that wrong?) and it leaves no time to breathe or write a story that will be remembered the way the 1989 film is remembered. This is like a rollercoaster that keeps wobbling and banging into things and just keeps speeding up and going on rather than fixing the shoddy tracks and engineering. They already got your money so they don't care if you jump off the ride. Expand

Would have rated 0/10, but Ice Cube's voice acting was incredible. However, Maya Rudolph's talents were completely wasted.
