The 2007 movie is a mess, a good one.

Block-block-kick, block-block-kick, block-block-kick.

I get your point, but I think you are actually looking for the Image comics adaption.

Eastman and Laird's TMNT was nothing if not goofy and irreverent at times. Alongside the stories that were dark, gritty, and somber. Like, I'm pretty sure you take the TMNT more seriously than the creators themselves do. And that's not to say that TMNT isn't and can't be serious. "City at War" is peak TMNT for me and I can't think of a single joke cracked in that whole story. But Mirage TMNT has always been more than just that.
