“While this isn’t an excellent picture, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS does manage to make noticeable improvements over its most immediate predecessor.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

“The resulting dissonance feels like somebody dubbed a vocal track from BANANAS IN PAJAMAS over a particularly Ramsay-heavy episode of GAME OF THRONES.” – Bob Chipman, Movie Bob

“…a delightfully silly breath of fresh air to remind us that Hollywood is capable periodically removing its own head from its ass.” – Deirdre Crimmins, Cinematic Essential

“…the film is constantly teetering the lines between brilliantly stupid and just dumb.” – Greg Vellante, Edge Boston

“THIS IS SPINAL TAP this is not, but there are so many hints at greatness here that you may not care.” – Sam Cohen, Under the Gun Review
