Yes, it's an incredibly dumb movie. Buts it's a lot of fun too.
As adults we waaaay overthink these things. It's aimed at the 8-13 year old crowd.
Not sure what everyone was expecting? The "Dark Knight" of TMNT's movies ? Never gonna happen.

It's not aimed at 8-13 year olds. For one thing, if it was, it would have been PG, not PG-13. Second, there is a LOT of adult humor in it. A LOT. The problem is that it doesn't know what it wants to be. It had a lot of stupid and silly parts that were intended for super young audiences, but then it had these adult moments, too. That's part of the problem with this movie.
You have to pick one or the other, and then succeed or fail that way. GotG did that. It picked the "adult" route. It's most definitely NOT for children, and that's why it works a lot better than TMNT did.
EDIT: Even still, if it WAS just for kids, that means it's forgivable to make a crap movie? Pixar disagrees. How to Train Your Dragon disagrees. There are plenty of "kids" movies that are great for people of all ages.
