I loved this movie, it was fun and somewhat mature. plus it pretty well followed several of the original comics by Eastman and Laird.
Butt, what it also did was change a few things that became a standard for the cartoons and such. This includes April being a reporter, this was a way to introduce her quicker than in the comic. also, in the comic, the bands they wore were actually all redish, the created the multi-color bands for this movie so people could more easily tell the turtles apart.
I am really glad though that they pretty much kept the origin of Splinter the same, although they removed the part about Oruko Saki's older brother Nagi Saki (as in Nagisaki, Japan). It wasn't until the cartoon that they dumbed down his origin so that no one died in it, and made him a person that turned into a rat, which the way the cartoon sets it up is completely illogical, he's just around the ooze and rats so much that he turns into a rat person.
In the end, this is a really good movie, that even for a kids movie still finds a way to stay true to some of the dark under-tones of the original comic.

I just want to say that the commercials for this are misleading in making you think that this is based off of the movie. In fact it is set in the comic book world not the movie world, the only connections to the movie are the design of cerebro and Patrick Stewart doing Xavier's voice
