9 MORE Great REVIEWS of "Muppets Most Wanted". Some VIDEO ones too!

Forbes.com

'Muppets Most Wanted' Is A Terrific Muppet Movie.

Muppets Most Wanted is above all an incredibly entertaining comic adventure. It is the very definition of all-ages entertainment, with belly laughs for young and old. It may not be a profound work of art, but Muppets Most Wanted is a genuinely hilarious comic sequel. - Scott Mendelson

Grade: B

Let’s get it out of the way right at the top: This felt-and-fur follow-up isn’t as inspired as 2011’s giddy Muppets relaunch. The new adventure finds our heroes being conned by a villainous manager (Ricky ­Gervais) and Kermit ­getting sent to a Siberian gulag and replaced by an evil look-alike. The songs are infectious, but the rest (despite turns by Tina Fey and Ty Burrell) lacks some of the gang’s usual feel-good joy. —Chris Nashawaty



SFWeekly.com

Picking up precisely from where 2011's The Muppets left off, James Bobin's even funnier Muppets Most Wanted thankfully focuses more on the original characters.

It's also refreshing to see actual objects on screen; there's some trickery here and there, but the majority of Muppets Most Wanted is real puppets interacting with real people in front of cameras, and that's far more satisfying than, say, CGI representations of plastic bricks. - Sherilyn Connelly

Muppets Most Wanted is just what the fans ordered!

Coming in at an 112 minutes, Muppets Most Wanted is a bit long but was an absolute blast to watch. I personally enjoyed this sequel a bit more than the 2011 reboot and was geared more towards the classic Muppet crowd. There are plenty of throwbacks and inside gags that will make the die hard fans cheer, while these jokes will go over the heads of the younger audiences. I do expect that younger audiences will find this sequel less appealing to its predecessor, but just like the opening song suggests to its audience “and everybody knows the sequel is never quite as good” even though I beg to differ. -  Scott Menzel, MovieManMenzel

**** out of 5 stars

The humour is a bit more broad, and along with some of its great musical numbers, feels a little more old-fashioned. But this is not meant as a criticism, on the contrary, Muppets Most Wanted is hilarious and thoroughly entertaining, valiantly carrying the nostalgia from the original tv series.

Grade: B

Muppets Most Wanted embraces its absurdity and fearlessly allows its contrivances to shine—always playing for laughs above plausibility and never taking itself seriously. 

 I was trepidatious at first, but it appears Disney has things well under control. - Jared Mobarak

But, although this movie has lots of laughs and a willingness to poke fun at itself, it doesn't quite recapture the magic of the last movie. Close, but not quite. - Bill Goodykoontz, The Republic

Sensational, Inspirational, Celebrational: Muppets Most Wanted, Reviewed

When Roger Ebert gave The Naked Gun a rave review back in 1988, this is how he praised it: "You laugh, and then you laugh at yourself for laughing. Some of the jokes are incredibly stupid. Most of them are dumber than dumb." Muppets Most Wanted is that way, too. This sequel to the very enjoyable 2011 reboot has all kinds of jokes: silly ones, dopey ones, groan-inducing ones, and plenty of dumber than dumb ones, too. I laughed at almost all of them—and the more I laughed, the more susceptible I was to the avalanche of stupid jokes that followed. Much like The Lego Movie, Muppets Most Wanted is sweet and playful enough for kids, but sharp and smart enough for adults. - Tim Grierson

‘Muppets Most Wanted’ is loopier (and slightly better) than the first - Matt Prigge

Flick Filosopher Real Rating: rated FHG (my face hurt from grinning) 

And thus, in that Muppetationally silly way that is all anyone is truly looking for in a Muppet movie, the primary criticism that may be leveled against Most Wanted is acknowledged and dismissed with high kicks, glitter, dancing, and amusingly demented blink-and-you-miss-’em celebrity cameos. And all is right with the world. - Maryann Johanson

Brian J Heck's "Muppets Most Wanted" Fan Review Grade: A-

Grade: A-

It is absolutely hilarious, has a ton of creative songs, a really fun plot, and a superb new Muppet character, the evil villain Constantine (who is actually quite hysterical himself). It's another solid hit from the Muppets team. But there are a few things that lead me to give it an A- and rank it just a bit below the last movie. - Brian J Heck

CLEVELAND.COM: "Muppets Most Wanted" Review - Grade: A

'Muppets Most Wanted' is a delightful caper film for kids and Gen-X parents alike.

Grade: A

is as fun and witty as its predecessor. It's true to the Muppets' big, sweet hearts, but also a wickedly fun pop-culture romp with more than enough cameos and winky references to bring a smile to any Gen-X parent's face. But unlike many kids' films that also try to appease adults, there's no snark here – just pure, old-fashioned "lets-put-on-a-show" entertainment. - Laura DeMarco
