Anyone who used to like this movie, but no longer does?

Each time I watch this thing, I get closer and closer to the realization that it's garbage. From my perspective, production values and the Turtles' mocap actors were the ONLY real high points of this movie. Nevermind the plot holes, nevermind the crappy editing, nevermind the fact that half the cast was hired for being a name...the thing that frustrates me most is that these problems only happened because the production team - which is infamous for this stuff in the first place - was allowed to mess with the property, and handled it in a way that was geared 100% towards product placement and making money. Nothing more, nothing less.

Eh, but I guess I'm starting to sound one-sided, huh? I'll still watch the thing on occasion, but only when I'm in a blank mindset and just want to watch something that's one-dimensionally entertaining. BUT, more to the point, I used to like it a whole lot more than I do now - that was after having seen it only one time. Like I said, each time I see it, I'll notice something that makes my head turn, either from making no logical sense or just being unnecessary - and this is without any influence from other people whatsoever. Same thing happens when I watch it by myself.

So am I alone here? Did anyone else like it upon first seeing it, but liked it less down the road? Or even the reverse - did you used to hate it, and now like it? Has your opinion changed on it at all? (I won't take shots at you for liking it, don't worry.
