SUMMARY: 
The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" return to movie theaters in an all-CGI film in which the turtle brothers work together to fight against a team of monsters threatening New York City.

BOTTOM LINE:
The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" return to movie theaters in an all-CGI film in which the turtle brothers work together to fight against a team of monsters threatening New York City.  The turtles fight with weapons and martial arts, although the violence is of cartoon-style and not bloody.  There is also some mild flirting between characters and mild teasing language.

BODY: 
What reviewers are saying about TMNT:
Sandie Angulo Chen of Common Sense Media comments, "Obviously, it includes several scenes of ninja fighting, including one upsetting brawl between two of the brothers...There are gargoyle-like monsters, and four warriors resurrected from stone proclaim their intention to rule the world."

Yahoo!'s Movie Mom Nell Minow writes, "Parents should know that there is a lot of cartoon-style violence in this film, mostly martial arts, with kicking and weapons, including knives. We do not see any injuries but some characters are evaporated and a tranquilizer gun is used."

Kerry Bennett of Parent Previews explains, "There is plenty of cartoon-like violence including hitting, kicking, swordplay, and the use of other hand weapons. Guerilla soldiers attack villagers in the jungle and a vigilante character takes on criminals without police authorization. Although the violence is bloodless and only one person appears to be killed, the conflicts are almost nonstop."
