I didn't mind the CG people and the plotholes is a very hollow point. The plot was different yes, but it ties in perfectly with all of the prior turtles film. The ending scene with Splinter's little "souvenir shelf" is proof of that, not to mention them reminding us quite a few times that Shredder is DEAD.
Which he is since the second movie. The fact this movie ties into all 3 turtles films shows to me real dedication and considering they went to the trouble to include the god awful 3rd movie to prove their connection to the legacy, that to me takes guts. I enjoyed, loved, and was intriuged with this movie.
The plot for this film is no crazier or weirder then any of the countless weird ass plots the turtles cartoon show went through. Krang alone speaks for himself. If you liked the turtles movies or the show, trust me, you will like TMNT. It's NO kiddie movie, and I cannot tell you how happy I was to find that out.

I like TMNT, just not this movie.
By plotholes, I wasn't talking about the movie in relation to any other movie that's come out in the past; I meant the nonsense with the alternate dimension and the monsters and the stone people. It. Made. No. Sense.
Spoiler Below How did the guy suddenly bring the stone people to life? If the monsters were plaguing the earth for 3000 years, how come no one noticed them before? Why were they only running around on that one day? Why did it make one guy immortal and everybody else a statue? I know this is a movie about giant talking turtles, but the whole thing seemed so out of place, like that new Sonic game with the Final Fantasy looking characters and machine guns. What was with Mr. Whatever at the end where he's standing there talking perfectly normally and then levitates and turns into dust? I was so lost.
Admittedly, I was half asleep through most of it, so I must have missed something?? I don't know. I just had no idea what was going on other than they had to fight the monsters and yatta yatta yatta. It seemed really convoluted and rushed and more like something you'd expect to see in a Christopher Paolini novel than a Turtles movie.
The movie made me laugh, and yeah, I love the turtles... but the plot, just,
what?
Plus I hate the CG people.
