Spoiler!
The more I think about it, the more I dislike it.
Why was Shredder a robot?
Michaelangelo telling April she gave him a boner was creepy.
Why was there a Blutooth logo on a closeup of a camera flashback from 1999 (sloppy attention to detail that is really a problem all the way through the film)?
The action was predictably Michael Bay-ish in a way that you couldn't really tell what was going on. This was especially bad in the snow scene. I had no idea where the turtles or the truck was in relation to the bad guys.
WHY DID THE FOOT CLAN HAVE MACHINE GUNS?
Splinter learned to be a ninja from reading a book in the sewer?
Raphael is unreasonably a dick, and then his big redemption speech (which you could see coming from the second he uttered his first line in the film) is beyond dumb, goes on far too long, and is so distracting that you don't know where they are in relation to the ground, which is supposed to be the whole reason he's giving the speech to begin with. Throughout the whole time they're falling, you have no idea where they are. HOW DID THEY EVEN SURVIVE? It makes no sense and is given NO EXPLANATION.
The movie never explains how Splinter and the turtles even know who Shredder is. It explains how they know Sacks, but not Shredder.
It's like they ripped off half of the plot from the first Andrew Garfield "The Amazing Spider-Man" movie, only they substituted April O'Neil for Peter Parker, and kept the "threaten the city" plan, only bleeding the turtles instead of Spidey.
Aside from a few jokes by Michaelangelo, the movie isn't funny. Will Arnett is wasted on his character, and is too "Will Arnett" to really be believable as the sidekick, anyway.
April O'Neil has no personality (I mean, it's Megan Fox, so what acting could I really have been expecting, anyway... I guess that's my fault).
