While I agree that it tries to go for a little more comic inspired and 2K3 approach as opposed to the FW elements, it's such a slog to get through. Even though both TMNT 3 AND 2007 have immensely lame villains, I find TMNT 3 to be a little bit more enjoyable because I can actually pay attention to the action and the pacing, for the most, isn't as unbalanced as 2007 struggles with. While both being kids movies, 2007 has way more to say and doesn't speak "down" to kids like TMNT 3 does ... but I don't know. I remember even seeing 2007 in the theaters and walking away being immensely disappointed.

All in all, I applaud 2007 way more in it's ideas than it's execution of them.
