Review of Muppets Most Wanted (2014) by Cameron C — 26 Apr 2014

Kermit's lookalike Constantine is an evil jewel thief who manages to swap places and use a Muppet's world tour as a front for his diabolical schemes.

Is it as good as the last one?...no. Is it as heartwarming, funny or memorable?...no. Does it still have some hilarious moments, great songs and great fun scenes?...yes! The last film was such a momentous 'reboot' for the franchise that the 'sequel' was always going to be seen in it's shadow. But in many ways this is unfair, and this is a really fun film that any fans of the Muppets will no doubt love. It doesn't quite have the emotional 'heart' of the last one (or 'Muppet's Christmas Carol' or 'Muppets Take Manhattan'), but it does have many laughs and great Muppet moments (I would put it most closely with 'Great Muppet Caper' I would say). Well worth watching if you're a fan.
