The entire time I was watching the movie... I just kept thinking, over and over again...
Where... the hell... is my Shredder?!
And who the hell is this Kurai chick? Shredder's offspring?
Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed. Maybe I'm just old, or old school. I kept hoping I'd get the feeling I got when I watched the old movies with the live-action turtles. But there was nothing.

Shredder died. You've gotta realize that it's a continuation of the same series of movies. Remember at the end when Splinter is putting away the helmet? Did you see all the other artifacts from the previous flicks including the TGRI ooze container and the Shredder's helmet? Also, Karai was in the comics.
The turtles flicks have tried to stay more true to the comics than they have the 87' cartoon series. Some of the only things that they've kept from the cartoon are the multicolored bandanas (in the comics they were originally in black and white and then when color was added, they were all red) and the fact that April was a reporter.
I enjoyed this new movie for what it was, and am looking forward to more in the franchise. I liked that they were true to character with all the turtles. I'm hoping that if they do another one that they will focus on the further development of Mike and Don as this story primarily focused on Raph and Leo. The Raph/Leo fight was amazing! It's a grudge match that I always wanted to see as a child and the outcome was as my 8 year old self would've expected.
If I had to grade it, I'd give it anywhere between a 6.5 or 7/10.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
