If this movie is Fred wolf, where is the forth wall breaking? The self-referential humor? The comedic shredder? The shredder/Krang/Rocksteady bebop dysfunctional family? why is Raph a tough guy like all modern versions, instead of the sarcastic Rob Paulsen-style snarker? Why is Splinter a Rat who learned Ninjitsu from a book instead of a mutated Hamato Yoshi? Why isn't Casey Jones a dirty harry- styled nutjob who never takes his mask off? Why are the turtles friends with the cops? Why can't I remember Laura Linney's character from the cartoon?

It has some elements in common with the OT, but Out of the shadows is definitely not the OT.

This. I'd go as far to say that it borrows most from the Fred Wolf series compared to any other incarnation, but to say its one and the same is awfully short sighted.
