Moviegoers are saying
This sequel divides audiences between nostalgic fans who treasure childhood memories and critics who acknowledge its obvious flaws. Despite being 'cinematic fast food' with Shredder defeated by a keytar and random Vanilla Ice concerts, it delivers pure fun through elaborate Jim Henson creature shop puppets doing Hong Kong-style stunt fighting in a world where pizza is the only food and green slime solves everything.

it doesn't even have enough ooze
David SimsNov 25, 2021there is a character in this called Keno because that's what this movie is
adamboltJan 13, 2014This really is a very inferior film to the original in every way, but, I LOVE it to death, and of course nostalgia plays a huge role. As a kid I watched this more than anything, and I still have my worn out VHS to prove it. That's actually what I watched, I hooked up my VCR…

Listen, I here you... and yet it's still 88 minutes of impressively elaborate and tangible Jim Henson creature shop puppets doing Golden Harvest Hong Kong stunt fighting. At one point they do it in the middle of a Vanilla Ice concert. Sue me! It's also shot on film in NYC…
Josh LewisAug 5, 2023This is a world where the only food anyone eats is pizza and you’re always in danger of stumbling into a Vanilla Ice concert. Uh, cowabunga?
Bryan EspitiaMar 18, 2026I’ve always loved this movie. I was the perfect age for the first two TMNT movies. They’re tonally very different in ways that compliment each other. I call these Taco Bell moves. Cinematic fast food. Completely indefensible on a “cinema” level, but delivers everything…

- Cinematic Joshua likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
A kidified sequel that didn’t fight for a better screenwriter or for the use of beloved mutant henchmen.
Eye Cinc dislikedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeIt's funny at a times, I like it, but I have to say that this is a bad movie. Cringe everywhere, and Vanilla Ice just watching the fight, and then start to sing, it's just stupid... but I get it, a kids movie from the 90s, but still, they could have done a better work.
MovieDaddy lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeA guilty pleasure, sure, but this is a severely underrated sequel. The biggest complaint is that they failed with the not-Bepop and not-Rocksteady characters, but aside from that, it’s just very fun and enjoyable. Better than the original.
- Armand Boudon lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
I have to love this movie because of how important and impactful it for me when I was I child. It’s of course not the best, the acting and the costumes are very poor, but it’s still so great because of it’s vintage style and comedy. 7.3/10
Jordan Griffith likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeLiked it but same problems as last movie with special effects not aging well. Also, the fights are pretty boring as well. The movie is silly at times that feels wrong. Also not funny when intended to be funny.
Casey Nash likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeBarely got the thumbs up, not gonna lie. The worst of the trilogy but still a decent movie. The origin story of TMNT is the most nonsensical mainstream tale of all time.
- Lucas Vachon lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
9.3 I love this one almost as much as the first one. This movie has one of my favorite opening scenes and like the first, it’s hilarious and such a fun watch
Baers trash taste lovedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeI remember enjoying seeing the snapping turtle and the coyote turn into ugly dumb monsters And I loved seeing the robotic ninja turtles as a kid.
Andrikk0s likedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OozeDonatello and Mickey are definitely the film bros in the team. Vanilla Ice freestyling for the turtles. “Let them get their own cab”

Metacritic
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 (hence less good, in my opinion), but still diverting and harmless enough.

An inferior, though quite respectable, follow-up. [22 Mar 1991, p.73]
