Fight scenes were a lot of fun to watch. I love that they made Splinter like a real, weird dad. There was some great humour in here and the running jokes landed every time.

In general I enjoyed how the characters were treated. Even the traditional TMNT villains weren't bad in the end. It's a departure but I enjoyed the different take. The only thing I think they should have worked on was more clearly defining the turtles themselves. They've always had their very distinct and individual characters. For me they tended to blur into each other. Like you couldn't really tell them apart from a personality standpoint most of the time. Sure, they had different voices, "costumes" and weapons - but other than that they didn't stand apart enough. But that's about my only real critcism.… Expand

It’s a good movie, I liked it more than the Spider-Man sequel.

It’s been brought up to modern times while still keeping what makes the turtles special.

But I particularly loved the style, visuals, models, texture and super beautiful animation! And I have nothing to complain about the scribbled style of the film, for me the point in question is very positive.
Even so, the film is weaker in script than “Spider-Man Across the SpiderVerse” but in no way is it bad, it is a great introduction to the new turtles, and now, it really just needs to expand this super promising universe.
It truly is an AMAZING introduction to this new, and hopefully long, stage of TMNT.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let’s start off with one thing: this film won’t be for everyone. There are going to be people that will say it’s too dark, too violent, too ugly, too icky and too “hip with the youth” to be considered a substantial experience.

And you know what? That’s okay!

The fact that Jeff Rowe and his team decided to embrace all of those things is a bold, BOLD swing for an animated movie such as this. The turtles sound and more importantly ACT like 2023 teenagers, cringe and all. Characters throw up on-screen for long amounts of time. Explosions can and will kill people. The grit and grime of NYC during the nighttime is exploited to its fullest potential.

Mutant Mayhem is many things, sure. But the best thing about it in my mind is that it is unabashedly itself, and that alone is a defiant green middle finger to the current rise of AI in the entertainment industry.… Expand

One of the things that I really enjoyed about the film is the way it balances humor and action. The film is full of funny moments, but it never feels like it's sacrificing the action for the sake of a joke. The action sequences are thrilling, and don't feel dragged out.

Another thing that I really appreciated about the film is the way it handles the characters. The Turtles and other mutants are all well-developed and likable, and they each have their own unique personality.

Overall, my kids and I really enjoyed TMNT: Mutant Mayhem. It's a fun, action-packed film that I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good time at the movies.… Expand

April O'Neil also benefits from a new spin on her character, making her a highschooler and aspiring journalist. I wasn’t crazy about splinter having more of a protective father role and less of a wise sensei role, but the movie makes it work. While the movie is mostly a comedy, there are notes of unity, trust, friendship and family.

“Mutant Mayhem” really shines in the animation department! This films art/animation is unique and stylized creating a rough and sketchy atmosphere almost like doodles from a kids sketchbook. The impact that “The Spiderverse” movies have made on animation in film has become quite apparent, notes had to have been taken from those movies. However, the aforementioned rough/sketchy animation style was a bit much at times: A lot of scenes felt VERY busy and sometimes it was hard to make out what was going on.

Another minor gripe was the bloated cast of the film. Even for a movie with the phrase “Mutant Mayhem” maybe had too many mutants. The trailers boasted a robust cast, but some of those cast members were lucky to get 3 lines. Having Giancarlo Esposito as Baxter but barely be in the movie feels like a waste of that actors efforts.

This is an excellent film to take your kids to see, if they are TMNT fans or even if you want to introduce your kids to the TMNT series. If you’re an adult type person, your opinion may very, as not everyone will appreciate this new unique take on our turtles and your nostalgia for the older iterations might interfere.

7/10, I would say that this is one of the better TMNT movies. Maybe not as good as the 1990 film, but nowhere NEAR as bad as the 2014 Michael Bay film.

AND DON’T FORGET THE POST CREDITS! What’s revealed is pretty obvious, but it’s still cool!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This new movie is a lot of fun. The voice cast was excellent, specifically the turtles. They feed into the “young teenagers looking to belong and finding their path to do so”. The music and animation were fantastic. Kids and adults will get plenty of laughs along the way. There are plenty of Easter eggs for folks like me who grew up watching and reading the various tmnt iterations over the decades. Seeing Bebop & Rocksteady be good guys was also a nice change of pace in this refreshing take on the turtles origins. But with the announced 2 tv seasons and 2nd movie coming - there’s plenty of time to see how they may align with Shredder.… Expand

The comparisons to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse should cease immediately as they impose unnecessary and unfair expectations on this film.

While it is another hit for the animation world this year, it should also be noted that TeenageThe comparisons to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse should cease immediately as they impose unnecessary and unfair expectations on this film.

While it is another hit for the animation world this year, it should also be noted that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is a much less ambitious film, much more restrained and weaker plot-wise.

I wasn't very happy with the personalities of the 4 main characters, but that problem can be overshadowed by the things that come off quite well from the humor to the chaotic spectacle.

It certainly lacked a lot of inventiveness, but as far as it goes Mutant Mayhem gives them life for new generations. It separates itself by far from the last two live action films and also has a very different identity from the modest and nice but forgettable Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that premiered on Netflix last year.

And it was scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. That gave it extra points to increase my interest in it.

It's definitely worth a look.… Expand

I remember having the action figure Rapheal I would play, andTeenage mutant ninja Turtles is one of the most Iconic cartoon and comic book franchises out there, I remember my Favourite being Raphael and my second favourite being Leonardo.
I remember having the action figure Rapheal I would play, and imagine scenarios with, along with my super cool Venom Action Figure.

Throughout my life, I've watched a lot of TMNT Animation from the older TMNT show to the recent TMNT shows on Nickelodeon, including some of the movies which were questionable, oh and the MB movies which I guess weren't half bad.

Why am I telling you this?

I just want you to know what Kind of fan I am, I'm always open to new interpretations of TMNT, however, there is always a line since this is actually one of the harder franchises to make animation and content for.

Seeing the Trailer for this movie made me excited to see TMNT Animation back on the big screen, but of course, I like all other fans disliked one thing, I'll come back to this later.

So how was the movie?

It's ok, nothing that's like woah holy f*ck that was amazing action and story. It's a piecemeal film. There are more satisfactory scenes than bad ones.

This movie is funny, It's entertaining, it's well animated with some different aesthetics.

Did splinter just...Oh god, Who thought that was good?

Should you rush out and see this, If you have kids then yes. If you're a long-time TMNT Fan, Wait for streaming, some of you may be disappointed.

Anyway let's talk about it, April O'Neil, the voice actor, the character and her purpose are really good, but there is one problem. It's her design... Yes, I'm talking to you Mister Castillo, the fact that you have no pride in admitting you f*cked up her design really shows that you are a hollow shell of a person, You disgust me.

eg. If I made a character that was Indian because of their background, namesake and physical features that are characterised by the colour of their skin and then decide I'll give you the rights to that character. Would you then decide to change those features based on your own perspective, let's say we change the character's skin to black or white or coloured, is that ok?
If yes, then you are a moron and please downvote my review, immediately. If not, then you understand that the characters created whether real or not are important.

April O'neils Design in this movie is one of the worst designs I have ever seen, let's forget about her skin colour, she is fat, ok let's forget about her weight, she Shes Ugly, Ok let's forget that she's ugly, What is she?

April O'Neil is meant to represent a Journalist/Reporter that the ideal female would look up to and be inspired by, this includes her physical appearance. At no point in this film did they use her physical appearance to drive her character.

"Oh, Recon you're just a Pedophile" These are comments that people would tell me. (Metacritic don't try and delete this, it's time to face reality).

Well, you are wrong, I was expecting a young April O'Neil whom Leonardo or Micheal Angelo would appeal to at first glance, you know so it makes sense. I was not expecting April to have protruding or sexual features.

Now that I'm done ranting I'm going into ratings:
- Visuals: 9/10, It's not for everyone, it was a little dark in the theatre.

- Characters: 8/10, Good use of character personalities, Jackie Chan Really shines as Splinter.

- Dialogue: 7/10, Sometimes they talk over each other too much it becomes annoying. Some are also basic and non-sensical.

- Story: 6/10, It's Passable and Simple, sometimes illogical at times.

- Plot and Pacing: 8/10, It just loses itself here and there.

- Music: 7/10, Some miss use of music, But I would suspect that some people would enjoy it.

Overall we have an 8/10, well done. but there is a problem, I factor in lore and Source material in my reviews so sadly the Race swap of April O'Neil will give you a -1, look I like the character's personality, the jokes, her dialogue and everything, it's just her design does not even match who she is based from the source material, not even close.
I keep saying in my reviews that I rate animation fairly and easily but there are lines that we should never cross, ever, that's just reality.

So overall this movie is a 7/10.… Expand

Rogen said from the start he wanted to focus on the "Teenage" aspect of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he nailed it! For most people, the formidable teenage years can be the most difficult as we struggle to find who we are and where our place is in the world. Imagine going through all of that while at the same time you're a mutated turtle who lives in the sewer with your rat dad. The story is filled with heart as we see the brothers go through these emotions as they long to fit into and be accepted by a world that they've been taught will undoubtedly reject them.

The art style is incredibly unique and a treat to watch. It's got a "doodling in your school notebook" feel to it that really pops, and the soundtrack pairs with the animation like pepperoni on pizza. My son and I were both bobbing our heads to the beat many times.

The performances are what truly standout with this movie though. Jackie Chan as Splinter and Ice Cube as Superfly give such great performances and the quartet of actual teenagers as the four turtle brothers is something I didn't even know I wanted as a TMNT fan until now. It just makes sense. The way they talk over each other and spout their inside jokes and generational-specific slang, this is definitely the first time the Turtles have come across as actual teenagers. Ayo Edebiri brought April O'Neil to a more human level than just "damsel in distress" as she was in the original cartoon and really captured that chaotic and confused feeling of suddenly being pulled into the world of an underground group of mutated anthropomorphic animals. The icing on this delicious cake is the supporting cast of fellow mutants like Ray, Mondo Gecko, Wingnut, Bebop and Rocksteady. My only complaint is they were criminally underused because what little time we had with them was incredibly fun and funny! They left me wanting more!

While this is definitely a movie for the next generation of Turtle fans (and that's okay!!) there are plenty of moments, Easter eggs and just downright enjoyability for all fans of TMNT! Cowabunga!!… Expand

TheWhile attributing myself to an ‘I want to become a Ninja Turtle’ generation from the 1990s in Ukraine, I intentionally diminished expectations before going to the cinema premiere, and the new reincarnation, in fact, made my yesterday.

The visual. The 2023 version feels better than the latest animated versions and two mediocre cinematic reboots (2014/2016). The bulky boxy styling models and environment looks outdated and fresh at the same time, with the recent ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ as the closest reference. My personal favorite is the lightning and the movement of cars in night scenes.

The story. It combines the renewed ‘becoming’ and the absence of Schredder (that’s a relief). A few brilliant parts, not very much intriguing, in fact, boring in the final ‘big boss’ sequence, but interesting enough for the 100-minute appearance.

The characters. While the ultimate antagonist seems to be another ‘I want to kill everyone because I am evil and smart’, the Turtles characters gave me a smile. The magnificent four as well as Splinter are not superheroes, but rather more prosaic and vulnerable creatures from the NY sewer, with a couple of dozens of well-executed jokes and as many failed ones.

It is hard to guess the acceptance of this story by a new generation (I believe, they must have their own heroes), but the guys in their 30/40-odd years have the means to look for the nearest big screen for a piece of nostalgia.… Expand
