The positive aspect to the action scenes is just how impressive again that puppet work is. Raph's initial battle with The Foot on the rooftop is a joy to watch. And hey, they did allow Shredder to be crushed in a garbage compactor, in which was most likely an intended death. And a pretty fun one at that.
While that doesn't improve the action scenes, it's at least an allowance of death and consequence in a story of revenge.
But yeah, I get it. And if I could bump up the action, I would. Does anyone remember whether Baron's cut had more visceral fight scenes? I can't recall.

Nope.
Getting any sort of usable fight scenes with stunt actors wrapped head-to-toe in thick foam rubber suits is an amazing feat of filmmaking and puppetry. They pushed boundaries on TMNT, unless I missed a kung-fu scene in Labyrinth or something.

I feel the same about Ambien-level fanfic. To each his own.
