Ranking Every Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Film Worst To Best

7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

With the comic book movie bubble only ever expanding, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were brought back to movie theatres for the first time in seven years. Following the rights to the franchise being sold in 2009 to Viacom, this was the first attempt at a new film series and it's abysmal.

This movie misses the mark in just about every way possible. With massive production troubles, the final product is an absolute mess. From the characters to the story, the movie is difficult to sit through. The design of the Turtles has been mercilessly mocked and the characterizations don't fare much better. They are simply ugly and unlikeable.

This movie was panned upon release and is generally reviled by everyone who had the misfortune of sitting through it. The juvenile humour didn't connect with adult fans and all of the overt sexualized jokes made about star Megan Fox weren't appropriate for kids. The movie alienated itself from any possible audience.

The story of the film is rushed and convoluted. The reshoot scenes are painfully obvious as the filmmakers tried to change the original narrative. Originally, actor William Sachs was intended to play the Shredder. However, this choice was met with a massive backlash since it changed Shredder's nationality and origin.

The plot was then butchered to fix this in post production, resulting in a clunky final product. This movie's only saving grace is that it's relatively short at 101 minutes.
