While unlikely to bring any nostalgia-minded fans of the series’ early-’90s heyday back into the fold, “Rise” is a serviceable — if also forgettable — entry in the cowabunga canon.

“Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie” won’t convert any new fans to the heroes in a half-shell, unless they’re under the age of 10. Still, it may pleasantly surprise parents looking for an afternoon cartoon movie to watch with their kids.

5/5

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie is one of the best action films of the year and although it’s not a genre but a medium, it’s one of the best animated films of the year.

This latest Ninja Turtles product is a narratively lazy and formally chaotic bit of empty IP.

2.5/4

An animated action comedy with postmodern gags and which trusts the ability of kids to keep up with more winding plots and sophisticated jokes.

I’ve got to wonder if the other reviews even watched the movie? Like ah yes it only panders to kids my butt the movie explores deeper themes like overcoming an inferiority complex and the “main” character almost die to save the world showing how they’ve realized that the world doesn’t revolve around themselve and that they are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. Did these people even actually watch the movie or did they just jump on the it’s a comedy cartoon so we’ve got to hate it bandwagon?

I could've learn that the Ninja turtles Movie was a good movie to watch but what actually disturbed me is that in the beginning of the Movie it said "2034" meaning that it was the future of their home of New york, and it got me chills of that year but it could've mean something but what would happen in 4 years after 2025? who knows.. anyways with the Movie, I would've had think that the series was officially over because it would never have a 3rd season or whatever. because of that happened since they made the movie, it kinda got me sad that it was officially over within the movie. so then I'll doubt that I would had watched this again another time.

This movie is the perfect example of a good animated character. Leo now being the leader of the turtles leads to an interesting international conflict shown through facial expressions and actions that carry a lot of the movie. The plot itself is amazing. Every event and moment builds the characters. There is never a dull moment in this movie because something is always happening that is important to either the plot or the growth of the characters.

to be honest, it's an amazing and entertaining movie, although most of the reviews are saying its not for kids. It's not, it's more for teens and young adults. It may not follow the nostagic lore of the OG but i think its pretty good.
