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.

Even if you’ve never watched the series, it’s still a great standalone adventure – and a great TMNT adventure to boot. Fans of the TV show and the TMNT mythology will definitely be pleased.

IGN Movies
Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie is a nice effort in extending the legacy of a far better TV series, but it lets go of all the elements that made us fall in love with the series in the first place.

While fans of the series might love the film, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an overlong episode that overstays its welcome.
