What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry  A solid Saturday afternoon's entertainment. | 10 |  |
| Die BurgerGoeie rekenaareffekte. | 10 | |
| Cape Times Michael Ordona Turtles big on style, but no substance. | 5 |  |
| Mail & Guardian Shaun de Waal | 6 | |
| Sunday Times Barry Ronge It is, I fear, just an expensive marketing ploy to put the TMNT back in the public eye so that they can sell newly designed merchandise and computer games. | 10 | |
| 24.com Megan Kakora Ultimately, TMNT isn't the best animated spin on a beloved classic. But watch it for its distinctive Turtle humour and departure from the real world. | 10 | |
| BBC Jamie Russell You can't keep a good turtle down. | 10 | |
| Box Office Annlee Ellingson The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles raise ‘shell’ in serviceable CGI | 8 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson Though the property's novelty value is long gone and the film's storytelling is uninvolving, the exceptionally slick and striking action sequences will impress your inner 12-year-old. | 10 | |
| ScreenItFeeling more like the latest episode of a TV show than a big-screen flick, TMNT delivers an appropriate life lesson (teamwork wins the battle) like its race-based predecessor (slow and steady wins the race), but not enough in terms of engaging story or characters. | 7 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier TMNT movies. | 6 | |
