Warner Bros.’ TMNT opens today in 3,110 theatres according to Box Office Mojo. The critics aren’t shelling out much praise for the film – currently at 25% on the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer. Entertainment Weekly says the film “is missing the goofy excitement of the old TMNT”, while The Hollywood Reporter believes “the movie seems driven more by the need to keep a toy line and franchise alive than any creative inspiration”. The Washington Post disagrees – for the most part – saying “the film is technically superb and quite enjoyable as long as you don’t bang your head against the plot”.
