* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Youtuber Eric Carter named this the worst film of 2023 of the year in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veYLG-3Crw4 "Top 10 Worst Movies of 2023" video]], citing the heavy improv, gross-out, and pop culture styled humor (he also regularly gives the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'', especially the post-2019 entries, grief for focusing too much on the comedy and not enough on the drama), the large number of licensed hip-hop and rap songs (he apparently doesn't really like licensed music in films), and interpretations of the main characters (labeling the titular characters as teenaged self-inserts for Creator/SethRogen and his friends instead of the more serious crimefighters they're usually shown as and Splinter as a generic laid-back dad who's probably a stoner instead of the firm but fair ReasonableAuthorityFigure he is usually depicted as) as negatives despite praising the more serious climax and the animation (favorably comparing it to ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse''), while also saying that he believed the film was made for everyone other than him, how he felt claustrophobic and uncomfortable watching it in theaters to the point he couldn't give it its own video review when it came out, and calling it the most torturous experience he had in 2023. Needless to say, several people in the comment section begin giving him grief for calling it the worst of the year just because he couldn't project himself onto it like he could with other incarnations of the franchise (namely ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', which he states in the video is his favorite version of the turtles).

* PresumedFlop: Many people believed the movie underperformed at the box office because of the low numbers it made comparing to other animated releases like ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Elemental|2023}}''. Although it didn't make as much money as those films, it doubled its 70 million budget with 180.5 million worldwide, with a sequel and an animated series announced in development.

* BrokenBase: Donatello's ChildlikeVoice. Some people think it sounds absolutely adorable and the voice suits him. Others think he sounds about a decade or so younger than his character's age and hence doesn't even sound like an actual teenager, despite being voiced by one.

* {{Moe}}: Donatello has the youngest voice actor of the Ninja Turtles and sounds absolutely adorable.

** Music/IceCube, an actor not known for playing larger-than-life villains, won a lot of acclaim for his role as Superfly and is widely seen as one of the film's highlights.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "Unwritten" by Music/NatashaBedingfield memorably shows up in the scene where April uncontrollably vomits while trying to do the morning announcements--and its not the last time the song popped up in a 2023 movie either. While the song's use later in the year in ''Film/AnyoneButYou'' went on to overshadow it, its presence here is still not to be understated though.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: April getting stage fright and embarrassing herself by vomiting on camera? Not funny. Us being treated to a ''glorious'' VomitIndiscretionShot where she vomits an absolute torrent of refuse everywhere to an [[SoundtrackDissonance ill-fitting pop song]]? Hilarious!

** April puking all over while trying to make a school announcement, the worst part is that the puke is overly detaile.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some fans didn't like how this version completely removes Hamato Yoshi from the backstory of the main characters, turning Splinter into a completely normal rat living in New York before his mutation. This means that rather than personally training his sons in ninjutsu, he trains alongside them by [[IKnowMortalKombat watching]] [[ChopSockey chop sockey movies]] [[TaughtByTelevision and instructional videos]], which is a rather dubious and ineffective way of mastering martial arts. [[spoiler:This also somewhat weakens TheStinger revealing the Shredder, as he no longer has a personal history or rivalry with Splinter or the Turtles]]. Notably, the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014 Michael Bay-produced 2014 movie]] did the same with a book on ninjitsu, and the idea was similarly negatively received.
