	Author	Review
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"There are a few thrills and a few laughs in this rejiggered, CGI-heavy reimagining of the comic book/TV/movie superstars, but even by kid-movie standards, it's a hollow experience"	NEG
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"The film manifests all the usual attributes of a Bay production - chaotic action, crass side jokes, visual-effects overkill, Megan Fox - but is nowhere near 'Transformers'"	NEG
United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"Liebesman relies on his genre-film resume to keep events moving (...) However, the drawn-out 101-minute running time and the nonstop cartoonish violence may deter some would-be fans"	NEU
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"Utterly inessential (...) it might even be too tame for the kids who make up the target audience (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Is there a word that means the opposite of Cowabunga? If so, that's the word for the charmless, dull and derivative new take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Rafer Guzmán Newsday	"Rougher and slightly funnier than the 1990 original, but still harmless junk at best (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
