C+This is no mythic rebirth like Batman Begins or Superman Returns, simply another generically smart-alecky chapter directed with a visual style attuned to speed.
2/4The 'Superman Returns' of kiddie action fare, this isn't a franchise redo but a years-later, surprisingly downbeat sequel...
3/4Shedding the confines of the original 1990s live-action versions, the new TMNT runs free with crisp, malleable animation and kick-ass action.
TMNT
1/4It doesn't need a review, it just needs a marquee so its audience will find it and get to the business of forgetting about it.
1.5/4The film suffers from serious animation overkill: too much high-octane action, too many combatants, not enough of the hand-to-hand combat that made the Turtles unique in the first place.
2.5/5Plays it safe for family audiences who will respond to the themes of brotherhood and better tolerate the rather silly storyline.

BERJAYAIt�s not exactly Renaissance art, but it is an honourable attempt to revive the turtle-tastic franchise.
CUnfortunately, while the technology used to bring these fearless crime-fighting faves to the screen has grown-up, the producers forgot to mature the script.
3/4The action is breakneck and practically uninterrupted. We're talking a young boy's dream come true.
BERJAYA[T]akes it all so darn seriously that you can't even lose yourself in its goofiness...

1.5/4Impersonally animated and arbitrarily plotted, the story appears to have been made up as the filmmakers went along.
2/4The predictable story and hackneyed dialogue -- the interplay between April and Casey is particularly bad -- get in the way of the movie's slick and sleek visual style.
2.5/5The preteen fanboy in me kept searching for something truly exciting in this movie, but, sadly, the critic in me knew that it wasn't there.
TMNT
4/5really nothing more than an overblown Saturday morning cartoon, but it didn't need to be anything more than that. The turtles rocked, and I had a blast.
7/10Although it may not win points for total originality, TMNT makes good use of proven techniques.
2/4Looks good, with its overly cartoonish characters and grungy depiction of NYC, but it's hollow to the core.
8/10The movie works despite its well-designed but boringly realized bad guy, a real testament to the well-defined, decently written characters of the Turtles themselves.
2/4Who knows? Maybe die-hard fans will enjoy the mocking Turtle banter even as the plot announces itself from a New York City block away. But 'LAUGH' signs would sure help when the jokes fall flat.
3.5/5TMNT is a fun, action-filled adventure that will satisfy longtime fans and generate a legion of new ones.
3/4The story's nothing special, but the movie is vigorously directed, with a camera that moves at a decidedly un-turtle-like pace. And the animation is unusually handsome.

1.5/5The turtles themselves may look prettier, but are no smarter; torn irreparably from their countercultural roots, our superheroes on the half shell have been firmly co-opted by the industry their creators once sought to spoof.
3/4The animated fight scenes are both beautiful and realistic. You forget you're watching a computer-animated feature. In a film about ninja turtles, you couldn't really ask for anything more. Other than perhaps a sequel, that is.
BERJAYADitching the cheeky, self-aware wink that helped to excuse the concept's inherent corniness, the movie attempts to look polished and 'cool,' but the been-there animation can't compete with the then-cutting-edge puppetry of the 1990 live-action movie.
3/4TMNT offers some real thrills. The computer animation gives the turtles relatively believable expressions, movements, musculature and (green) skin tones.
BERJAYAUltimately, the movie seems driven more by the need to keep a toy line and franchise alive than any creative inspiration.
TMNT
1.5/4Worst of all is the lack of genuine laughs. Writer-director Kevin Munroe has apparently forgotten that the Ninja Turtle phenomenon started as rib-nudging parody.
BERJAYAAs a piece of film design, the movie is first-rate; on sheer aesthetics alone, it rivals Triumph of the Will for astonishments.
C+This all-CG reboot is missing the goofy excitement of the old TMNT.
BERJAYAUnlikely to achieve BFF status with the MMORPG set, this CGI feature is light on the LOL factor, heavy on the ADD action scenes, and, like, TOOIFM (Totally Out Of Its Freakin' Mind).
2/4Completely pointless. Didn't three features in the early 1990s and countless cartoon incarnations take these crime-fighting critters as far as they could go?
