mike48128 Totally lacks the originality of the original Muppets Movies that our family grew up with. I own all of the first six movies plus more than one season of The Muppet Show, a few TV specials and other Jim Henson films. "Together Again" is apparently their new theme song as it is used as the movie finale for the third time? I still wish I could get a real copy of the John Denver Muppet Christmas Special. I "cling" to the old VHS tape of it that still plays! Yes, many good "humans" in the movie. Tina Fey is terrific. Many singers including Celine, Lady G., Josh, and Tony Bennett . Many cameos in the film, but you and the kids may not recognize them all. Hardly anything else original to speak off which means it plays like a cliché-sequel. A "rip-off" of "The Great Muppet Caper", "The Muppet Show" and "The Man in the Iron Mask". Good grief! I thought Miss Piggy and Kermit got married when The Muppets took Manhattan? Enjoyable of course, but hardly collectible. I have other favorite Muppet films that I like much more.

Prismark10 After being successfully rebooted in 2011 in The Muppets they return in Muppets Most Wanted and end up in London (their spiritual home) as well as other European cities.The famous again Muppets have a new manager Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) and they embark on a world tour but the tour is a front as Badguy and his cohort Constantine (A Kermit lookalike who has replaced Kermit) rob historical venues across Europe. Tina Fey is fun as the prison guard in a Russian gulag where the real Kermit has been sent to.Ty Burrell is Interpol Inspector Napoleon, co investigating with CIA agent Sam the Eagle while at the same time poking fun at French stereotypes.There are many cameos some are blink and you miss them ranging from James McAvoy, Lady Gaga, Christoph Waltz, Frank Langella, Ray Liotta, Danny Trejo, Salma Hayek and Tom Hiddleston.The film is fun enough, a solid and enjoyable film with a good musical number (The Gulag Song) near the end of the film. Its not as good as The Muppets and borrows from earlier films such as The Great Muppet Caper. Then again the film acknowledges that sequels are not as good as the original film in its opening number. Jason Segel's absence is felt in this film and it also does feel a little bit flabby here and there.

g-bodyl The Muppets Most Wanted is the sequel to the 2011 hit film which reintroduced the Muppets to the world and a new generation. This film is more of the same with high entertainment value and is often fun to watch. The songs are great, although they cannot compare to the first film. My favorite song has to be the gulag song sung by Tina Fey. The emotional value isn't as strong in this movie thanks to the disappearances of Jason Segel and Amy Adams. Luckily, this film does possess a handful of awesome cameos.James Bobin's film brings us back the Muppets after they are famous again in their own movie. At the advice of a new manager named Dominic Badguy, they decide to go on a world tour. However, they don't know that this tour is actually a scheme to rob historical venues all across Europe. A Kermit look-alike named Constantine tries to become the world's most masterful thief as he puts this plan into submission, but he must first put Kermit in a Siberian gulag.The three main actors here are Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, and Ty Burrell whom are impressive in their own merits. That does not stop me from missing the chemistry of Segel and Adams. Nonetheless, all the above performances are excellent. As for cameos, keep an eye on the ones by Christoph Waltz, Ray Liotta, and Danny Trejo.Overall, the Muppets Most Wanted is a fairly solid sequel and great family fun. The main highlights are the opening and closing musical acts. The first act is funny because it talks about how sequels are never as good as the original, which is often true. The film is mostly funny, although I miss the emotional impact the first film had. On the whole, this is another Muppets success.My Grade: B+

slightlymad22 After watching "Muppets Christmas Carol" and enjoying it a lot, I was just in the mood for more of the muppets. fortunately this was starting on another TV channel so I eagerly started to watch it, in a great frame of mind.Plot In A Paragraph: Kermit the Frog and his friends are approached by Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) to go on a world tour. Unknown to them, this is all part of an evil plan of Constantine, the world's most evil frog, to become the greatest thief of all time. After making sure that Kermit is jailed as himself, Constantine impersonates him to use the Muppets' tour as cover for his scheme. While Sam the Eagle and Inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) investigate, Kermit desperately attempts to escape.Unfortunately it was not of the same quality of "Muppets Christmas Carol" and I found myself bored a great deal of the time. Despite an endless amount of cameos Salma Hayek, Celine Dion, Danny Treo, Tony Bennett, Sean Combs, Lady Gaga, Zach Galifianikis, Chloe Grace Moretz, Frank Langella, Ray Liotta James McCovoy and Christopher Waltz, Debby Ryan and Loki himself Tom Hiddleston.Outside of the cameos the only adult entertainer to amuse me and keep me amused every time he was on screen, was Modern Family's Ty Burrell.
