Too much of everything

BroadcastChic

Excellent, a Must See

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

First of all, in the first musical number, they said that sequels are never quite as good. Well they got that right, because it was crap (excuse the minor language). I felt the song pretty much gave everyone an excuse to give us a film that was underpar, and BOY WAS IT UNDERPAR

Another Muppet film, so you know what to expect. Corny jokes, song and dance, and spoofs of otherr films. In this film Constantine utilizes a Mission Impossible escape and replaces Kermit with the goal of doing "Pink Panther" type of crimes.Where else are you going to see Danny Trejo and Ray Liotta perform a song and dance in their long johns? Tina Fey looked like she was having fun in her role as a prison warden. Of course they are Muppets so there are tons of cameo roles for established stars.Good popcorn fun. I would agree, they have done better.

Muppets Most Wanted (2014): Dir: James Bobin / Cast: Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, Celine Dion, Jemaine Clement: Followup to The Muppets plays like the original Muppet Movie followup, The Great Muppet Caper. Trying to figure out where to go next, enter Dominic Badguy presenting himself as a tour manager. He is really a criminal called the Lemur. He is the sidekick to the world's most dangerous frog, Constantine, who just broke out of a Russian prison. He resembles Kermit the Frog who is framed and locked up while Constantine replaces him under the suspicions of a few Muppets, most notably Fozzie Bear, Walter and Animal. They set out to free Kermit but must move quickly because Constantine proposed to Miss Piggy. James Bobin directed the previous film and is back again. The Muppet creations are as wondrous as ever the the screenplay contains many amusing moments. There are many celebrity cameos but the main players are led by Gervais who is informed through a Constantine song that he is number two. Tina Fey is hilarious as a Russian prison guard obsessed with Kermit. Ty Burrell plays a French inspector out to find Constantine and he is accompanied by Sam the Eagle. Celine Dion duets a song with Miss Piggy. There are various cameo appearances by celebrities, some of which are fun while others fall flat. The songs lack the memorable wonders that other songs have deemed classic. While it lacks the nostalgia feeling of the previous film, it still presents a lot of fun and humour for families and those whom wanted the Muppets the most. Score: 7 ½ / 10

I'm a sucker for nostalgia so you'll be hard-pressed to get a negative word out of me about the Muppets. I was a fan of the 2011 Jason Segal movie and news that the Muppets were returning for another movie where the human presence was toned down to allow more time with the characters I love guaranteed I would be seeing MUPPETS MOST WANTED. Is it a perfect movie? No. I'm not going into the experience for a mind-blowing, award-winning film. I'm going in for felt puppets I've loved since childhood getting into funny scenarios with loads of unnecessary (and occasionally head-scratching) cameos. The movie feels as if it takes some cues from THE GREAT MUPPET CAPER (1981) but I haven't seen that movie probably more than twenty years so I couldn't say for certain. It begins at the exact moment when THE MUPPETS ended when the Muppets realize the cameras are still rolling. What could that mean? A sequel, of course! This time, the Muppets are going on tour across Europe under the guidance of their new tour manager, Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais). Meanwhile, there is a prison break in a Siberian gulag where the world's most famous criminal, Constantine…a near perfect doppelganger of Kermit the Frog…has escaped. In what comes as a surprise to no one but the Muppets, Badguy is manipulating the Muppets. Phase One: replace Kermit with Constantine, sending Kermit to the gulag in his place. Phase Two: use the Muppets' tour to pull off the most daring heist in criminal history.If you're a fan of the Muppets, then there's nothing really to read here. You'll probably see this movie, if you haven't already. The Muppets themselves never really fail to entertain. Even at their worst, the Muppet movies have some sort of redemption factor from their collection of beloved characters. I love the addition of Constantine. He's a fun new baddie with a vaguely Eastern European accent who, despite a complete inability to mimic Kermit in any way, infiltrates the Muppets with ease because he's willing to let them do whatever they want. There's a small thread through the film about self-control, where Kermit makes the Muppets adhere to strict schedules and routines whereas Constantine lets them run wild (literally, in some cases….I'm looking at you, Gonzo, with your indoor running of the bulls). The plot is simple, as one would expect, and only really serves to move the characters from set piece to set piece. What really makes a Muppet movie are two things: the music and the cameos. The last Muppet movie from 2011 was fun but, looking back on it now almost four years later, the music has completely faded from my memory. MUPPETS MOST WANTED actually does have some memorable musical numbers and every single one of them was fun enough that I never rolled my eyes or glanced at the time, waiting for it to end. Some highlights include the opening number "We're Doing a Sequel", a fun little meta number where they openly make fun of the fact that it could potentially be a cash grab that fails to live up to the success of the first, and "I'll Get You What You Want", Constantine's song to woo Ms. Piggy and gain her trust.Then there's the cameos. You can't have a Muppet film without Hollywood heavyweights popping their heads in for a quick wink to the audience. MUPPETS MOST WANTED has got more than it's share (more than enough for a handful of movies, honestly) of star power appearing, though many of them incredibly briefly. For starters, the film features some great comedy talents in actual starring roles. Ricky Gervais is always fun. He was just an obviously perfect choice to play the charming, fast-talking manipulator and he's got a great sense of fun about him that fits in a Muppets film. Ty Burrell is fun as Interpol inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon, co-leading the investigation with CIA agent Sam the Eagle while at the same time poking fun at pretty much every single French stereotype the movie could conjure. Rounding out the main cast is Tina Fey as Nadya, the gulag warden. Every moment Tina's on screen you can sense the jubilation in her at how excited she seems to be in a Muppets film. I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was a dream of hers. That's the main cast; the cameos are near endless. Christoph Waltz, Lady Gaga, Zach Galifianakis (returning as Hobo Joe, of course), James McAvoy, and on and on. It goes a little overboard. The best supporting bits are those of Kermit's fellow prisoners in the gulag. I won't ruin those because they're just so strange but I will say this: I'll never look at them quite the same again.There's really nothing more to say about MUPPETS MOST WANTED. As long as you know what to expect from a Muppets film, you'll find it here. I would go so far as to say it is funnier than the 2011 film and, again, it's nice to have the movie focus on the Muppets themselves and not the human characters. The whole Constantine/Kermit angle is a lot of fun and the music is surprisingly good. As a long-time Muppets fan, this one is an easy recommendation as it delivers everything you really want from it.
