This is an interesting thing to deal with in regards to the movie. While I don't want to agree with you, it's obvious to me that that is the case. After seeing all these previews and the special, I am now anticipating something similar to a live action version of the original toon. However, I'm okay with that! While its not what I was expecting, it's what we got, and I think it's a pleasant surprise

But it is plainly obvious that all that the people working on this movie saw of the turtles is the OT, possibly just the first season.
