Watched it, loved it. Really, really good. Loved the first one but found this to be even better, minus the borderline obnoxious amount of "jokes", which were really just crass words like "turd" being thrown around unfunnily.

I agree with almost all of what you said but most especially this part.
Overall though, fantastic film. Amazing visuals, great characters/performances, lots of fun. Not a Marvel movie guy at all, but this series rules.
On a different note, watching both of them makes me feel so bad about TMNT. Their movies could be as good as these, in the right hands. You've got the playful humor, emotional weight, lots of romping about, adoptive family themes, space/extra dimensional stuff, rogues galleries, all done perfectly. When Yondu & the gang were walking through the barracks of that ship & bodies were dropping like flies from his arrow wizzing around, it made me think "Damn, a scene like this with the turtles would be insanely cool, just switch the arrow with ninja stars" as an example.
