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

This blasphemous pile of junk is just abysmal. Besides resembling the Turtles in neither narrative nor appearance, the rest of the movie is a plot hole inside a paradox, cooked up by a group of guys who's only real exposure to Ninja Turtles was a few fuzzy Saturday mornings after a drinking binge in college. Like every other Platinum Dunes production, every change makes no sense and takes away from what the source originally was. In a franchise that is ripe for the age of special effects and great story telling, as a fan I feel more than just let down and betrayed...enough of my fan-boy bitching. All said and done how the *beep* is this POS getting a 6 out of 10???

Well, skim through the replies that this thread has gathered by now, and you'll get an idea.
“This movie has some element that reminds me of my childhood! Good enough!”
“15 minutes of the film were mildly entertaining, so I give it a score that is barely lower than a masterpiece that entertained me for its full 120 minutes.”
Etcetera.

Moreover, the whole IMDb rating system is a joke. I am certain it is being manipulated by movie studios as well. Even if IMDb promises to prevent fraud, they can never have a waterproof protection against drones creating seemingly normal accounts to cast fake votes.
Try taking the square of the IMDb score divided by 10, then multiply by 10 again. That yields 3.5 for this one, feels about right. Still better than the 22% from RottenTomatoes though.

I am not even a fan of the Turtles by far, but I've seen enough of the classic stuff to know how bad this movie adaptation is. This actually convinced me to never watch anything made by Bay anymore.

I gave it a 10. It's a masterpiece. I did not read the comics. I saw a few episodes of the TV show in the early 90s. This movie was true to what I remember. I can't wait to watch the second one.

No character development - 4/10. The sequel is a vast improvement- 6/10.
