	Author	Review
United States	Matt Edwards Den of Geek	"[It] is a dreadful film, and one in which the main draw, the Turtles, are the element of the film that are treated with the least care."	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"The story is so unremarkable, by time-traveling adventure standards, that one must struggle to remember that the heroes actually have hard shells and green, spotty heads. The nonchalant humor (...) is always something of a relief"	NEU
United States	Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media	"The sole purpose of what stands in for plot here is to create a long string on which to hang fight scenes that allow the animatronic puppets/actors to dance, kick-box, punch, and toss one-liners"	NEG
United Kingdom	Time Out	"The wisecracks have been cut back, and where once the Ninjas' dude-speak was original (...) it's now merely imitative."	NEG
United Kingdom	John Ferguson Radio Times	"A second sequel, but, by this stage, a largely irrelevant one (...) It quickly degenerates into half-hearted cartoonish action (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
