somebody tell me what are the things that this movie has going for and against it?

Depends who you are, your expectations, how open minded you are etc etc. I - and, let's face it, NONE OF US - know enough about it to be conclusive on either side.

FOR:
- The film has got a very good budget, so should look awesome in any case.

- I think Megan Fox as April looks good, and I am keen to see how she does in the role

- The CGI for the Turtles should be incredible. The technology has advanced considerably even in the last 2-3 years.

- From what little I can tell, looks like there'll be a vein of humour in this thing. Depending on how crass or OTT it is (Michael Bay struggled with this in the TF films), this is a good thing for me. I like my Turtles not as a comedy, but certainly slightly irreverant.


AGAINST:
- ? When I know a bit more (or have actually seen the movie) I might put "deviated too far from the source material", but I'm pretty open-minded - it would have to deviate A LOT for me to be bothered about it. Burne Thompson (did he ever show up in any iteration exception the original cartoon?) as a black woman has some people up in arms, but for me... doesn't matter. With any luck, Whoopi will bring some humour to this.
