    Finally saw this. The original film is undeniably superior, but this was a fairly decent reboot.

    Cons:
    Splinter's voice just didn't fit
    The origin story (WTH)
    Learning ninjitsu from a book (again, WTH)
    Villains villainous plot was weak and full of holes (rich dude with a huge mansion aspires to be "rich"--dude, look around you! You're clearly raking in some heavy cash with the businesses you own)
    Decepticon Shredder was overkill and never felt more menacing than a silly cartoon villain (Shredder from the original movie seemed like a more serious threat)
    Donatello's voice :(

    Pros:
    The Turtles were pretty fun to watch, even with the funky looks
    Michelangelo had the theater cracking up constantly (worthy of the original movie's Mikey)
    It was a fun, entertaining movie, albeit a bit mindless
