| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe new film is a fast, funny, engagingly unpretentious 88 minutes that, moving between martial-arts dustups and random satirical jibes, achieves a more successful mix of action and humor than the first. There is plenty for adults here as well as children. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonMore dialogue-heavy and somewhat less frenetic, this sequel is somewhat more to my own taste. |
| Entertainment WeeklySteven ReaNeither as fun nor as faithful to the spirit of the original comics. It’s a bigger, slicker movie, but not a better one. |
| Miami HeraldJohn DorschnerThis lacks the darkness and subtlety that makes the first film so good, and so adult, but its simplified plot and gags will appeal to the under tens. |
| Washington PostDonna BrittThe second TMNT has enough jokes aimed at adults to make for a relatively painless outing for parents forced to take their kids to see it. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Nostalgia lens aside, it's a pretty crummy follow up to the 1990 movie. |
| 7M PicturesKevin CarrThis is one of those rare sequels that actually lives up quite nicely to the original. |
| Empire MagazineLloyd BradleyThis lacks the darkness and subtlty that makes th first film so good, and so adult, but its simplified plot and gags will appeal to the under tens. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumOne can have a reasonably amusing time with this predictable sequel, which is a bit longer on action and shorter on wit and character than the original (hence less good, in my opinion), but still diverting and harmless enough. |
| Boston GlobeMatthew GilbertRetains the essential elements that first turned the world Turtle - the affectionate squabbling between the four, the pantomime villains, the cracking one-liners - and the bigger budget is a blessing. |
