Why do some people hate the third movie so much?

I agree with everyone that the costumes are probably the biggest gripe. I actually like 3 probably second best, so it doesn't have as many all out action sequences, it has an original story. 1 was great, but a combination of the first volume of comics and the original toon. 2 was essentially a live action 90 minute OT episode, with Bebop and Rocksteady replaced with Tokka and Rahzar. The only thing 3 had that is from an established TMNT canon was some of the characters and the time scepter. I'll applaud TMNT III if only because it did take the Turtles outside it's established continuity and tried to do something different. I kinda like Walker and Norinaga, maybe not their cronies, but the lead villains weren't that bad, were they?

I have to say I feel the same. It was a real let down compared to the first and second movie. I liked the second movie when I was little because of tokka and rahzar, but the first beats all three movies. They could have used a new villian for the 3rd movie, one we actually had heard of. It was just such a corney movie. It seemed too childish for adults, but had too much stuff that kids wouldn't understand or appreciate as well. It seemed like they failed in targetting a real audience. I'm glad that some of you all can appreciate the movie, and on it's own it's not too bad I guess. But comparing it to the first two, it was horrible.
