"Looking back, there were a few issues with the movie. There were some plot holes" - Not "a few" not "some", there's a lot of plot holes and I blame it all on Paramount doing what the fans were whining about and deciding to make Shredder an asian guy at the last minute. That hurt the movie a lot, they should've either made Shredder asian from day one or kept Fichtner as Shredder, those re-shoots did a lot of damage to the plot.

"Erich Sachs is rich, and the reason he's evil is because he wants to become even richer. :P That doesn't really make sense to me." - Not "even richer" he wants to be STUPID RICH XD The movie was so cheesy, that's one thing I kinda liked about it, cuz let's admit the turtles have always been a bit cheesy (no pizza pun intended).

"And April is the one who ends up finishing off Shredder? That just didn't feel right. I mean, Splinter couldn't even stand up to him," - I rather see it as if the turtles used Megan Fox as a bat to smack Shredder of the tower XD And Splinter did stand up to him, Shredder just had the advantage cuz Splinter was trying to protect others besides himself.

"The beginning of the movie seemed long. You're just sitting there saying 'Where are the turtles?'" - Yeah, I hate when they "tease" us like that, they treat us as if we haven't seen the turtles on any of trailers "ooh I know, they have seen them but let's keep it a surprise" stupid producers...

"I don't think there was quite enough focus on the turtles, April and Vernon got a bit too much of a spotlight there, so there wasn't any room for the turtles character devolpment or for their personality to be revealed." - Yeah, I hope next time they make a turtles movie and not a turtles and humans movie.

"Then at the end, they're falling down on this giant piece of the tower, and they somehow just land and they're fine? I would have liked an explanation on exactly how they didn't get hurt. Is it their bulletproff shells? (that bothered me a bit)" - You didn't pay close attention to the scene, they were falling but the tower was hitting other buildings in the fall and that kinda softened the impact. Note: I laughed so hard with Raph's super long speech. -Yeah, I think I would've been fine with Eric being Shredder if he did a good job. Trying to change something like that at the last minute causes tons of problems. I was just trying to be nice and use passive words. XD But you're right, there was a lot of plot holes.

-"I'll be rich. Like, stupid rich" XD lol, one of his funniest lines. And yeah, cheesiness can be enjoyable at times. CHEESY POWER!

-Mmm, good point. :) I guess I can live with the turtles using Megan Fox as a bat. XD

-Honestly, you're there to see the turtles, not to watch Megan Fox hunt down the turtles for the first half an hour. :P

-Totally agree with you there.

-Ugg, I need to pay more attention do things like that, darn it. XD lol Thanks for explaining anyways. (raph's speech was awesome)

I think I'd rate this movie maybe three, three and a half stars? Enjoyable, but had quite a few flaws.
