Muppets Most Wanted Ratings & Reviews
- Manuel FrangisMarch 30, 2025I just watched Muppets Most Wanted, and I give it 4 out of 5 stars. This one is a lot of fun and does a great job continuing the story from the 2011 Muppets movie. It keeps the heart and humor of the first film while going in a more adventurous direction. It is a little more chaotic and leans harder into the silly stuff, but that is what makes it such a good time. If you love the Muppets and want something that mixes classic musical comedy with a spy plot, this one delivers. The movie kicks off right after the end of the last film, with the Muppets trying to figure out what to do next. They end up getting talked into going on a world tour by a shady promoter named Dominic Badguy, played by Ricky Gervais. What they do not know is that he is working with Constantine, a criminal mastermind who looks exactly like Kermit, except with a mole and a heavy accent. This setup leads to all kinds of mistaken identity chaos, prison jokes, and globetrotting mayhem. The humor in this one is a little zanier than the first, with more slapstick and fast-paced gags. The Muppets are constantly getting into ridiculous situations, and the jokes come fast. Some of them are really clever, others are just goofy, but most of them land. There are jokes for kids, jokes for adults, and jokes that poke fun at sequels, celebrity culture, and even themselves. The movie is super self-aware and never takes itself too seriously. Ricky Gervais fits in perfectly as the smarmy sidekick. He plays it totally straight while surrounded by puppet chaos, which makes it even funnier. Tina Fey is also great as a Russian prison guard who becomes obsessed with Kermit. Her scenes are over the top in the best way, and she totally commits to the role. Ty Burrell plays an Interpol agent who gets paired with Sam the Eagle, and their buddy cop rivalry is one of the funniest parts of the movie. The music is another highlight. Bret McKenzie is back with more original songs, and while they might not be as instantly iconic as the first film’s hits, they are still catchy, funny, and full of personality. “I’m Number One,” “The Big House,” and “Interrogation Song” are some standouts that really fit the tone of the movie. The musical numbers are big and bold, and the choreography is just as fun as the lyrics. The only reason I do not give it a full five stars is because it does not hit quite as emotionally hard as the 2011 film. That movie had more of a comeback story and real heart about friendship and nostalgia. This one leans more into action and comedy, which works, but it does not feel quite as deep. Still, it is a strong sequel that keeps the spirit of the Muppets alive and adds its own twist. I give Muppets Most Wanted 4 out of 5 stars because it is a fast, funny, and colorful ride. It is packed with jokes, songs, and classic Muppet chaos, and it proves that these characters still know how to put on a show. Overall Muppets Most Wanted is a hilarious and clever sequel that takes the Muppets on a crazy global adventure while still keeping their signature heart and humor. It is a great time and definitely worth watching if you love these characters
- 匚卂尺ㄥFebruary 12, 2025This movie is always delightful. The smiles and laughs never stop, especially when you see known actors who customarily play serious, rough movie roles acting in something like this with a bunch of make believe muppets! It's worth it just to see Danny Trejo and Ray Liotta dance and sing!
