This 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.
Lloyd Bradley
Empire Magazine
The sequel plays things very safe.

One 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.
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Chicago Reader
The Turtles, when not battling Shredder or providing Vanilla Ice with the basis for a rap number, kid around in enjoyable ways.
Janet Maslin
New York Times
This one should have oozed out of the can before it got into any theaters.
Bob Bloom
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Not only insulting to your intelligence, but also harmful for children to watch.
Derek Smith

Dear God, why?

The muppets look mighty fake, and Vanilla Ice was better in Cool as Ice, but check out wrestler Kevin Nash as Super Shredder.
Luke Y. Thompson
New Times
Even more fun than the original!
Clint Morris

If a Vanilla Ice cameo is a highlight, imagine what the rest of the film is like.
James Sanford

Next time, if the Turtles really want to hurt 'em, they should call on Hammer.
