I personally think Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is way over-hated. Sure, it changed many elements from the source material, but as an independent work, it's actually pretty fun to watch. And it also a very nice animation style.
The movie is a bit more intense than the series, but still has plenty of humor; perhaps the worst aspect from it was the characterization of Leonardo, who at first behaves in an extremely immature way (Far more than in the regular episodes of the series) to the point one would think he had regressed mentally, but from a narrative standpoint, said characterization is understable as part of his development in this movie, where finally matures and becomes a proper leader for the team.
The movie, like the show, is fast-paced and fun to watch. Maybe a bit rushed at points, but definately not bad. No idea of why it's rated so low.
