From a visual standpoint, this CG feature starring the venerable '80s and '90s superheroes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is nothing short of slam-bang; the computer animation has a scope and look that transcends both the original comics and animated series and the three live-action features that preceded it. Writer/director Kevin Munroe creates a striking animated world for the four heroes in a half-shell to live, play, and fight in, and the action sequences are occasionally breathtaking in their speed and complexity. But where TMNT stumbles is its bland plot, which picks up after the last of the live-action features with all four teen turtles in disarray, and abandons longtime villain Shredder in favor of an industrialist (well voiced by Patrick Stewart) who recruits the Foot Clan (including Karai, played by Zhang Ziyi) to revive thirteen ancient monsters to aid in his world domination scheme. It's a simple and fun story for kids, but longtime Turtles fans will miss the wry humor and smart sense of irony of the original comics (created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, who gets an executive producer credit here) in this storyline. Still, for most adolescent audience members, such concerns won't matter a whit in the face of the abundant action. --Paul Gaita

 Great Movie and Speed January 7, 2009
Thomas L. Sullivan (Texas)
I receieved the movie promptly after ordering. Even with the Super Saving 5-9 days I eneded up getting it in about 3. Thank You!
 Pretty miserable January 6, 2009
Jacob Brunson (Hillsboro, OR USA)
I really liked the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stuff, but watching this movie was almost painful. The only thing good about it was that I bought it for just a couple of bucks on a black Friday sale.
 Good for kids December 12, 2008
J. Elbin (Kamiah, ID USA)
Better than the live action sequel movies and not a bad effort for CG. My kids enjoy it and the picture quality is amazing.
Awesome Film November 11, 2008

This is one cool movie. The only character I wish to see was The Shredder. He would have made the movie better and I know a image of him was in the begining but I would like a sequel to this film. It would be called TMNT: The Return of The Shredder. It is so action packed, every time I watch it in bed I fall asleep. I like the part when Donatello is arguing with a customer about a computer service and mistake it for a man (who is actually a woman when he goes "sir. Sorry 'Mam'"). The parts with Raphel fighting on his bike reminds me of Ghost Rider. So get this film.
Mediocre return for the TMNT November 8, 2008
Simon (Brampton, ON)
I was a huge Ninja Turtles fan back in the late 80s/early 90s, so it's very cool to see the TMNT pick up in popularity again and return to the big screen. This movie however, isn't what it could've been.
What works: The visuals of the Turtles are spot-on, and in computer-generated form they're more athletic and acrobatic than ever. There's one particular showcase fight sequence in the rain that is gorgeous. The film also nails the family dynamic between the Turtles and Splinter, from friendships and brotherly rivalry to the father-son dynamics. It's a deeper approach than the animated TMNT shows have taken, and it works.
What doesn't work: The plot of the movie, involving an immortal conqueror and 13 monsters, comes off as a bunch of sci-fi nonsense. The story clashes with the grittier, grounded tone the rest of the film wants to take, and it's disappointment for anyone looking for some classic TMNT/Foot Clan action (the Foot Clan sans Shredder does appear, but only in a supporting role). The narrative isn't particularly well told either, and there are certain obvious gaffs such as when April repeats the entire history already explained in the opening narrative. Other bits and pieces seem to have been cut for time, and Mikey and Don get somewhat shortchanged in the screen time department. Finally, the designs for April, Casey, and the rest of the human cast don't hold up to other modern computer animation - they animate stiffly and lack originality.
This animated movie is better than the 2nd and 3rd live-action films, but is still a distant second to the original 1990 film that represents the TMNT at their best. Longtime fans will probably want to own this and the curious should give it a rental, but there's not much here to draw general interest.
