Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Meh. Formulaic story, shallow characters, uninteresting script. The animation is cute and so were some of the characters, though.

I love almost everything about this. This isn't really the vision of Splinter that I want, but I also didn't really mind. I would like a darker TMNT, but I understand this is what the mainstream wants. So with that said, absolutely beautiful animation with thrilling action. Comedy that absolutely works. The turtles are done really well. The plot is interesting enough. Soundtrack--both original music and choice of songs--is fantastic. This succeeds in everything it sets out to be.

I didn't love everything about this, but: it really does approach it from the idea, what if 'teenage' was the focus of TMNT and they behaved like actual teens. The animation style is all its own, the plot deals with one of the major issues facing the turtles and all other mutants. It's funny enough, laughed out loud a handful of times. Not entirely a fan of how they did Splinter in terms of a little gross-out here and there, but I did like how he was done in a lot of other ways. Chars are solid.

What a fun, colourful, energetic and surprisingly wholesome reimagining of the Turtle concept! They really are teenage this time around, with distinct personalities and mannerisms that I would've absolutely loved as a kid / pre-growth-serum clone. I can see the animation style turning people off, but I thoroughly enjoyed the 'rough crayons come to life' vibe of this.

Effortlessly the most charming rendition of the Turtles ever to grace the silver screen, and while it stylistically is standing on the shoulders of the likes of Spider-verse, the color splashed sketchbook art here is pitch perfect, and along side the Reznor/Ross score and brilliant hip-hop soundtrack elevates an off-beat and cheeky story to something else entirely.

Makes some interesting choices. For anyone off-put by the way the Turtles acted... try talking to 14 year olds. Their demeanor is a feature and felt authentic. Didn't love what they did with Splinter, and April O'Neill was hit-and-miss. Stakes felt about on-par with the intended audience. The animation is mostly great and only occasionally awkward, but the biggest plus, is that this is just so damn fun and funny. The jokes start early, and there's lots of room for more of this in the future.

Absolutely everything you could ever want from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It takes the franchise and modernized it for a new generation. It kept all the elements of the characters that were fun and engaging. It is the chemistry between the 4 young actors who voice that turtles that really sold you on this film. The animation style is great and the vibrant designs kept everything moving at a quick pace. Kids can enjoy and long term fans can be thrilled the franchise is in good hands.

Stylish, funny, energetic. Not without some minor niggles in respect to the slightly perfunctory story, but it keeps itself uncomplicated if nothing else. The offspring loved it and I though it was pretty good too.

The finding-acceptance arc for the turtles isn't as feel-good as it could be (after all the talk of "doing it for the right reasons" the climax is still them finding acceptance, which only happened because they were heroes), but the rest of the drama is effective (see the uniquely moving father-sons dynamic), the humour is perfect (lots of charming talking-over-each-other teens), and the overall vibe is super cool (see the scribbly animation, swirly, synthy score, and head-bopping soundtrack).

Such a fun, smart, energetic reinvention. Lots of laughs, lots of great animation and sound. The best TMNT movie ever made, and it's not even close.

I was intrigued by the art style, and I thought it delivered on the visuals. I'm like 40 something, so it's not like I should get anything else out of this. Is it devious and wrong and something I would steer my niece away from? Nah. It's fine, and it's pretty cool to look at.

Could’ve done with 275 pop culture references less and the deep-tonguing scene. I also didn’t find it necessary to divide the last battle in two, as the runtime began to weigh before third act was in full gear. But mostly everything else worked really well. I especially applaud how the turtles were characterized as very separate individuals, in design, voice acting and everything. Huge cast wasn’t a hindrance, everyone slapped. Animation was a character in and of itself.

I wasn't as impressed as some have been with this movie. It's clear it was trying to copy what Into the Spider-verse did, but it didn't have the same kind of magic. It was still fun, it's just I didn't think it was anything special. TBH, I liked the Michael Bay version better, as weird as that might sound to some lol.

While the Spider-Verse revolution is in full swing, this stands brilliantly on its own with a unique visual flair. TMNT was never a prominent staple of my childhood, but if I’d grown up with this it certainly would’ve been. It is bursting with creative energy, supported by an endearing main cast and a palpable love of the source material. Just a joy of a watch. Ready for more.

I love the animation style and the soundtrack, The updating without ignoring the past was handled well. It's great fun.

The Ninja Turtles were a huge part of my childhood so I love that this gleeful update gets them right. And with no less than mindblowing animation and a killer score to boot!

The animation was nice but the plot wasn't anything special.

The only TMNT movie worth watching. Dope soundtrack. Cool animation.

A lot of fun and probably as good as we can hope for with the family friendly turtles

Movie's good, don't get me wrong here and I enjoyed it for what it is... ...but as one of the "old" fans I didn't like Splinter's backstory at all. His motivation to teach them martial arts to the level of perfection where the Turtles are at is really just far fetched and not believable at all, since all they did was video studies.

I had a hard time getting past the ugly-looking animation, which was by design, still didn't like it though. Sad to see how lame they made Splinter. Incompetent turtles were also not what I was interested in seeing. A bit of a disappointment to be honest.

Happened. It looked and sounded good at least.

I'm pretty baffled by the universal positive reception this received. The art is beautiful and unusual and the score is great, but I found the writing lazy, the turtle characterizations poor (aside from Leonardo, the other three turtles are barely different characters), and the cultural references are going to be out of date three years from now. Often those references are essentially "hey this is a song you know." I was very disappointed given my turtles nostalgia and the rep this got.

Master Splinter: "My son, Michelangelo, you have heart. Donatello, you have wisdom. Raphael, you have bravery. And Leonardo... honor!"

Yeah it was funny and I find myself back at my Childhood, Actually the Jokes and the Era is played in 21's but at least Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles alwys stay the same Story .. .. especialy this type of cartoon Animation was something New and extraordinary .. .. Joyfull to Watch !!!

very cool, I love the animation style

It didn't really pull me in that much, but I appreciated the fresh take on the turtles, painting them more as immature teenagers, and the often Gen Z dialogue that follows. I'm not sure how much this movie will hold up years from now, but for now, it does feel current and is relatively enjoyable, although the stakes of the plot don't really feel that high. The animation, however, is extremely unique and it's probably worth seeing just for that.

Un reinicio satisfactorio. Con tono Gen-Z y algo infantil, pero divertida y emotiva. Un acierto el mostrarnos muchos más mutantes por 1ra vez y no centrarnos solo en los villanos más famosos de las tortugas. Leo, Donnie, Rafa y Micky brillan y se mantienen tan icónicos como siempre. Lleva un mensaje algo repetitivo y aspectos algo grotescos, así como algunos estereotipos, pero que va bien acompañado con todo el desarrollo y mundo que se creó, sumado a una particular animación. Vale la pena...

It's really good for kids.

spiderverse really stepped up the animation's game

Hard to rate this one. I appreciate they're trying a new angle on things, but some of the ideas are just too weird for me. Over-reliance on crude or body humor.

Decent. Cool art style. Story about fitting in is overdone but at least its somewhat realistic given the Turtle's situation. Also plays with the lore a little which I suspect hardcore fanatics will have a tough time coping with. Still, was a fun time and a worthwhile animated venture

I liked the animation style (bearing some resemblance to Arcane) but the screenplay, humour & direction didn't work for me. Mutant Mayhem has an early 2000's feel, with its voice cast (i.e. Ice Cube) and derivative ideas. I get the focus on the "teenage" part of TMNT but it's played-out clichés at this point. There's too much talking over each other without anything being said, and the camerawork feels unnecessarily bouncy at times. Okay but predictable, down to the mid-credit Shredder tease.

somebody forgot to tell superfly that his father wouldent be proud of his child destroying humanity.

Good art style / animation, funny, and entertaining throughout. Jackie Chan as Splinter was great.

One of my favorite parts was when the mutants were hanging in the bowling alley, and it was all fun and innocent, and the background music was ODB singing "Oh baby, I like it raw."

They Spider-Versed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cool unique art, modern expression mixed with the old and familiar. I can appreciate the freshness. But sometimes you just got to accept that something has passed you by, and I'm fine with that.

Damn, this was awesome.

I liked this. It's got a crazy hip hop influenced animation style, the turtles seem like actual teenagers and Ice Cube is in a movie that isn't detestable. I'd watch another one of these.

Started out fun and funny, but the last half was wall-to-wall boring action scenes that made me want to vomit. Great needle drops though. The fight scene to "No Diggity" was hilarious.

Oozing with SPIDER-MAN (Raimi + -verse) energy, but undeniably TMNT with a refreshingly unrefined visual style and a fun, satisfying storyline. Also deserves attention as a great teen comedy and a prime example of reintroducing a franchise without using nostalgia as a crutch.

Started off slow but turned out to be really good.

The style took some getting used to, but eventually I thought it was gritty and well suited. Also the score with a fine selection of hip hop songs worked well. I liked the first half more than the finale where it gets too heavy on action and doesn't stand out from other superhero films. Characters and their chemistry worked very well. The film was also surprisingly funny and defied expectations like how the attack on the "bad guys" turned into a hangout at the bowling alley. Pleasant surprise.

Clearly for a younger audience and there's enough corporate self-conscious decisions to stick out but I enjoyed it for the most part. I liked the actual teenage voices (although Donatello's clearly should have been Michaelangelo's), making April young and cameos of old action figures and loved the stylish animation.

Really enjoyable! Visually gorgeous with a fantastic score and voice acting, a lot of funny lines, and a story that plays it very safe but is nonetheless effective. Definitely too many contemporary references, but balanced that with needledrops that were very fun and way better than for instance the Mario ones.

The Fortnite-esque sense of humor and bad voice acting (the characters constantly talk over each other) and writing made this a nearly painful watch.

I know nothing about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but I thought this was pretty delightful. A healthy dose of all the things that made the Spider-Verse movies and Mitchells vs. the Machines great: dazzlingly singular visuals, rapid-fire laughs, and an unexpectedly poignant undercurrent. That last quality is, perhaps, the least exemplified here as a result of the film's scattershot storytelling, but it's still awfully endearing.
