"I always thought the TMNT worked best when they faced real life situations and dangers."
I don't know about that. It's like when I try to explain to my sister why I love turtles... the thing is that unlike what many outsiders believe, the turtles being mutant ninjas and having a rat master is not actually the crazy part with the franchise. The crazy, weird part is that the turtles series have a tendency to blow up into huge bits of whacked out spectacular fantasy and sci-fi adventures. Monsters and myths play a big part in that weirdness, and often, the series have followed the "monster of the week" formula. So if the movie replicates a lot of that stuff, it's in line with what has defined TMNT over the years.
If you don't appreciate all the spectacular stuff, maybe it's not the franchise for you.
In between those moments there is some room for the real world as well of course, which the movie might include as well, seeing as the descriptions mentions the villain is a tech-industrialist who's fired. Anyway, there is only so much you can fit into one movie.
Having said all this I can understand why you might not like the plot of this movie but I just wanted to bring you the view from the other side... anyway, why don't you reserve your judgment until you watch the movie? Maybe it will satisfy you even if it's not like the first movie.
