The problem is that a lot of the elements feel like they're crammed in, the subplot about Danny (which takes up a signifigant portion of the movie) was invented for the movie and it's kind of weak since Danny joins the Foot really weak reasons like "Dad treats me like a kid".

Danny's not exactly the movie's highlight, but I'd argue he had more motivation for his actions than pretty much every character in the new movie. And he actually had a bit of a character arc, at that. Not a great one, necessarily, but... again, it's more than the new movie could be bothered to do.

I take it you've never gone through a rebellious stage? The kid was in love with Sid Vicious, heck that's how he got the role. He talked about the Sex Pistols with the casting guy (the Pistols were a manufactured punk band, but that's neither here nor there).

Danny was the typical kid rebelling at his father cause that's what a lot of teenagers do.. even Raph is a bit rebellious towards Splinter, "couldn't this wait till morning?"

"You will listen NOW!"..

This. And not to mention, The Shredder preyed on such kids that were feeling rebelious, or forgotten or alone (which Danny could have felt, seeing as his Father was the sole parent in the household, and holding down as the primary manager of a news studio, which would mean he worked long hours and was probably barely home, and if he was, he was still working, so didn't have much time for Danny) so either way, I can totally see what happened to Danny, happen. Reason being, because this stuff happens all of the time. A kid could grow up in the perfect home, but all it takes for them to be around certain kinds of kids who don't obey the rules, the cool kids, and that one perfect kid could toss his whole life aside to justify fitting in with the cool kids.

His dad was also a high-stress/control-oriented kind of guy. Dude was constantly getting dragged along to impromptu work meetings out of office hours, too - like the apartment visit Danny was clearly annoyed about. And April seemed very familiar with Danny, suggesting that sort of thing happened a lot. It made sense that he'd want to rebel and "disappear" from his life. That always seemed pretty natural to me, if a bit heavy-handed.
