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.

They make a lot of movies like this now. It's mainly because they are trying for the broadest appeal possible.
Broad appeal = more potential money.
