How is this garbage getting a 6 rating????

I gave it a 7.

Couldn't agree more...I'm sure they could of found someone better than Megan Fox to play the April O Neil role. It's like her face is made out of wax or something, no emotions.

I gave it a 6. The film itself is not good but the segments with the turtles is entertaining. And, since is geared towards children, just as it was when I was a wee one, I understand the lack of charcter devloemt (aside from Raphael) or deep story telling.

This movie falls under the same category of other failed abominations from better movies past. Garbage such as Star Trek Into Darkness, The Karate Kid, Red Dawn and Robocop are films that I will never see. Others will pay money to see them, support these horrible remakes with their dollars and complain on the Internet... so I don't have to.

Actually, came out in 1990. And Man! You only gave this a 7?? What the hell did you give the original turtles movie, that you seemingly hate?

Robin Williams RIP. Most recent movie seen: Dumb and Dumber To: 9/10.

I liked the turtles. I enjoyed when they were on the screen so much it did make me forget the really rotten parts of the movie and even let me leave the theater with a good feeling. I did have to ignore some of the major changes they made to the turtles physically but their banter and the voice acting, some of the little fighting moves they did were great. I took my son to see it and he loved it so it obviously pleased the target audience of young boys. In my opinion the fact that it did so well at pleasing the target audience kind of does give it a right to a 6/10. Turtle fans should rate it lower though.

I'm not even sure why there is so much focus on Megan Fox's bad acting when people complain about the movie though. Casting her as April was about the least of their sins. Not saying she was great but I think you had to dislike her before you even thought about watching this movie in order to hate her that much. If anything she had a few scenes where she just looked stupid but, whatever, it is a Nickelodeon movie, kids don't care that much about bad acting look at the crap they watch every day on Disney.

The street gang foot was done before so that's hard to blame on this movie. It was still pretty bad though. They seemed more like the bad guys on Die Hard than a ninja clan. I think we have yet to see a good Foot on a Turtles movie in all honesty.

The origin story was kinda screwed up in the 1990 movie too so that's hard to blame on this movie. Not sure why Hollywood can't have Splinter go from human to rat while the turtles go from turtles to mutant turtle/men. Maybe it's tough for them to admit that humans are animals? The mutation was whatever animal they had the most recent contact with and for the turtles it was human and for the human it was a rat. Pretty simple but I suppose it could be blasphemous for the religious crowd, I guess.

It did feel like they mostly just jacked up the origin to shoehorn April in. I wonder sometimes in these CG heavy movies if they try to give their non-voice actors more screen time in fear of them being upstaged by their CG counterparts, look at Ironman 3. Newsflash Hollywood, we want a good story not more face time for the actors. If the CG characters deserve a bigger role give it to them. It's what the fans want.

The absolute worst part of the origin story was the ninjitsu book in the sewer that was an obvious afterthought of the origin plot. "OK now we have our mutants and they're in the sewers...Oh crap they're supposed to be ninjas...shoot...um um um, derp let's give em a book, tada! Ninjas!" I may not have been there when that was added to the plot but I'm pretty sure that was an exact quote from that day.

The hulking bulletproof turtles was probably the A number one sin though. I hated that, just hated hated hated that aspect. The turtles were never bulletproof, they were great ninjas. They weren't giants, in most cases they were shorter than their human counterparts. Their mutation didn't make them different in any way from humans other than green skin and shells. Their super powers came from their great ninja skills. Why on Earth did they have to get turned into the Incredible Hulk? No seriously, there were times when I wondered if they borrowed some of the CG from the Avengers movie.

The fact that the turtles were so bulked up was what forced them to turn Shredder into a Michael Bay Transformer (another movie I could've swore they stole CG from). You couldn't have a plain old human competing with those uber super turtles, that just wouldn't work. Regular Shredder wouldn't work so they had to create Mecha-Shredder. I mean that's something that should be in the sequal. Regular Shredder fails, okay bring in Mecha-Shredder but don't do it right off the bat. It was just such a transparent attempt at trying to make everything bigger and better than ever before. Just sad.

I honestly hope there isn't an actual sequel but a reboot instead. Fix some of the crap that the fans really hate and you could have a decent movie. No seriously, make it so the only thing the fans can complain about is Megan Fox, please. She really was a very very small part of what was wrong with the movie.
