2003 not good enough to warrant Live Action Blockbuster?

So I take it I'm the only one who thinks 2k3 not getting a live-action film was more of a blessing in disguise? 'Cause I can't really see it being translated well in any way.

I get people point to the '07 film as being the closest to the series getting a movie, but that movie in particular seemed more it wanted to be a part of the previous movie's continuity rather than it taking place during the show, the whole "let's shoe-horn Karai just because she's a familiar face from the show" non-withstanding. And while it's clear 2k3 updated it's character designs to look more like the '07's ones in BttS, I still don't attribute to "Oh, this show and this movie must've happened in the same universe!" sort of thing and chalk it up to marketing consistency, despite it being inconsistent within the show itself.

Besides, I'm more than content with Turtles Forever being the only 2k3-related movie. Yes, know it wasn't theatrical and was a made-for-TV movie, but my point still stands, it's still movie by the standards that it's at least over 60 minutes.
