Worst Turtles movie ever made.

My kids asked me to take them to see it, so I went to a matinee showing with them and about 35-40 minutes in they asked me if we could leave, my oldest daughter on the way out was all like "I do not like this April Oneil, I do not like these Ninja Turtles" and she loooooves the shows and older movies.

"If at first you don't succeed, troll harder."

Expect a good story? No. Hope for one? Of course.
it's a really pathetic and tired line of reasoning that I should be satisfied by mediocre crap just because the source material is zany, unrealistic or cartoonish.
I don't care if you're telling me a story about a sentient spaghetti noodle battling giant meatball demons; if you tell a story that invokes genuine human emotions and relatable real-life parallels people will respond to it, and they do already.
If you want a genuinely decent product, you have to invest in it a little more than expensive cgi and ass shots from the female lead.
It is not unreasonable to want better things, and to protest or ignore the projects that fall short.
Hollywood is a business. Give your money to those who do a good job and you will get better products.
why is this so hard to deal with?

Platonic love exists: scientists stumped.

I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree. I don't find the animatronics unsophisticated. Sure they're old and you can tell just like the Yoda puppet in the original Star Wars trilogy. I still think they look brilliant for the time and even good by today's standards IF things like this were still used. Of course with CGI there's not much use for animatronics anymore, though many would argue that they would prefer they did in more movies.

I think you're way off when you say that all the Turtles act like Mikey and can only assume you mean because they joke around, which teenage boys do. They still have their distinct personalities: Leo is the leader, Raphael is the rebel, Donnie is the smart one and Mikey is the most immature. But they are still teenage boys and that's what many interpretations of TMNT are missing because they go overboard on the personalities:

Oh, Donnie's the smartest teenage ninja? Right, well lets kit him out with military grade and beyond equipment, scanning vision equipment similar to what Ironman's capable of producing, rocket booster skateboards etc. Because obviously if you're the smartest of four teenage guys, it means you're one of the most scientifically gifted people on earth... even though you spent most of your 15 year life studying Ninjutsu.

And it's unfair to say I only prefer the old movie due to bias. As I said before, I like the criminal underworld Shredder. I like a foot clan that are Ninjas. I like Turtles that aren't hulking bullet proof monsters but instead rely solely on their Ninja skills and shells. I like Splinter and Shredder to have a history with Japan and each other, regardless of how silly it is (as it was originally). These are things that made me a fan of TMNT in the first place and it's pretty much how it all started.

I don't like Ironman themed Shredder, who upgraded his armour for what again? I don't like that April was tied to the Turtle's origin, especially how badly it was done... what Dad takes his Daughter to a building he plans on setting on fire? I don't like a foot clan who's only offensive weapons are guns... and I particularly don't like that when the Turtles are bullet proof. What's the point in them even fighting? Why were the foot even hired for that matter?
None of these things were anything like the TMNT I remember, and while that's not a problem, movies don't have to stick to the source to be good, none of it appeals to me.

As for April, she's a reporter, what is she meant to do? She did a pretty good job of reporting the foot's activities and the crime wave sweeping the city. She took the guys in when they couldn't stay in the sewer and she also led them to the old farm where they could lick their wounds before returning. What else is a reporter meant to do against a threat like Ninjas? The movie is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not April and The Turtles.

I didn't think there was anybody out there who didn't like Casey Jones but fair enough.
It's not bias. None of this stuff was any good imo. If it is to you, then that's great.

With regards to the fight scenes, I'm a martial artist myself and can appreciate the actual fighting those guys do in those big suits. I love it and think it's done very well. I honestly can't remember any of the action from the new movie except that double kick that Shredder does after the Cowabunger cry, which I'm pretty sure takes out all the guys except Leo somehow without really connecting, but I could be wrong.
