Ok, so I've finally seen this. This is the first turtle film that I didn't see at the cinema. 
And that's only because I was going to go with my bro, but then he double booked himself, and then neither of us got to see it.
Anywho, just been chatting to @ratsy about it. I was expecting it to be awful, which is wasn't, but it as an uber-fan it frustrated the crap out of me. I actually quite liked the way the turtles looked, I got over the noses (couldn't get over Splinter's nose though, rats noses aren't like that!), wasn't massively keen on the lips, liked the shells and the 'clothes.' What I didn't like was Don's glasses (geek, therefore glasses *eye roll*) and Raphael's idiotic toothpick. I hated what they did to Raphael in general. He was basically the Wolverine of the turtles. Anybody who's seen me talking about X-Men will know how much I hate Wolverine. I can't stand that sort of grumpy, super-strong, invincible type character. Why was he twice the size of the others too?
Also, it was 17 minutes before we actually got to see the turtles. That was 17 minutes of Megan Fox. They might as well have renamed the film Megan Fox: The Movie. And they made the turtles April's pets! NO! Just... no, Michael Bay, why were you even allowed near this?
Speaking of Bay, lots of Transformer noises. Could've been watching The Transformers, but with turtles instead of Shia Whatsit.
Plus points: I still love Michelangelo. Fight scenes were pretty cool - especially Splinter vs Shredder. Good to see Vernon.
Neg points, as well as the above ranting: the plot. I mean, the whole Shredder and the bad guy stuff was sub plot. The film was basically Megan Fox discovers turtles, tries to prove they're real, discovers they were her pets, saves the day. The end.
I've just seen that there's a TMNT 2 in production. With Michael Bay. Gah!
