It was indeed an enjoyable film, however I was constantly taken out of the film whenever Mikey would talk/refer to April: WTF was up with that? - "Hello baby, Oh! - My shell's getting tighter!"... !?!
How they explained the whole Ninjitsu/Ancient Japanese Teachings of the Turtles and (More so) Splinter was just ridiculous and a last-minute thought which clearly few neurons were committed.
There were also some scenes that were very obviously "3D"-scenes and in a 2D viewing looked like bad '90s CG composition, like, "Next Mutation" level! - Specifically one where it's Splinter & April standing face to face, April wasn't even looking in Splinter's direction for Pete's sake!
I also agree with those that felt the film was too April-centric; it damn well was and though the Brothers Green got more screen time than any Transformer did in a film of the last decade, they still deserved more I feel.
Beyond those issues I quite enjoyed it and am looking forward to its sequel, hopefully with less Mikey/April sexual innuendo and more Turtles in general - I will also say that the guy doing Donnie's voice sure does do a good Rob Paulsen impersonation.
