    Muppets Most Wanted

    Reviewed by

    With 2011's The Muppets being high on my list of favourite films in the past few years, I was hoping for more or less the same from Muppets Most Wanted. I was honestly let down by the film, but aside from my disappointment, this movie is not terrible, and is still quite fun at times. First of all, I liked Ricky Gervais, and Ty Burrell, two new additions to the movie. I found their characters, and their performances funny and memorable. The musical numbers are fun, with the catchy opening song playing over and over in my head as I write this review. However, unlike the last Muppets film, most of these songs felt out of place, and it seemed like they were only there because the film makers felt like they needed to be. The humour from the first film was still present, but the charm wasn't. The humour is quite witty, and I was chuckling at almost every minute, but only a few jokes stand out as being truly memorable. There are also countless "blink and you miss them" celebrity cameos, as well as many pop culture references, which are some of the movie's funniest moments. However, the pacing here is inconsistent, and everything seems to move quite slow at times up until the last half hour when the movie picks up the pace for good and becomes non stop fun. I do have to say that unless you are already a Muppets fan, you really wont care what happens to any of the characters here. The movie doesn't give you anything as to why you should root for the heroes, which I found to be terribly disappointing. Overall, I am quite torn about this movie. There was a lot that disappointed me, but the sheer likeability of the Muppets pick this movie up off the ground. Muppets Most Wanted had potential, but all there really was was a shell, and not much inside, minus a few catchy tunes, and some funny performances and jokes.
