yeah i don't know what problem people had with it. it was a fine entry; not as good as the preceeding movie but close. shame the muppets seem to be in the woods again.

Miss Piggy's song "Something So Right" is the best thing she ever did.
― everything, Sunday, 26 August 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
Though it's worth noting that the original character of Miss Piggy has evolved quite a bit since Frank Oz used to play her, including that she was completely unlistenable as a singer and generally prohibited from singing at all costs.

I hated the first one - so treacly - and this was kind of anarchic and dumb which felt much more in the spirit of things.
I still hate Kermit's voice but I guess that's the guy that got fired?
The newish TV show looked AWFUL

I've heard enough good things at this point that I guess I'll check it out eventually. It's just that I'm such a Henson megastan that I can't get with any of the stuff made since his death. It's all missing some essential spark. The Segel movie felt like a Muppet-centric version of RP1.

I liked the Segel one fine but this is def better

Previous film was a film about the Muppets, this was a Muppets film (and was therefore tons better).

No, one of the bad things about The Muppets is that it was so much about Segal, Amy Adams and Walter, rather than the Muppets. No other muppet movie has non-muppets as the focus of the film.
It's unfortunate that Muppets Most Wanted is not as highly regarded because it's def superior.The self-deprecating opening song was a huge mistake imo. It's a fun song but it's an appalling way to start a film - by re-stating many times that the film won't be good.

"No other muppet movie has non-muppets as the focus of the film."
Apart from Muppet Christmas Carol, which is kind of a big omission.

particularly since it’s the best muppet movie

It's like saying your kids are better than my kids. Even if true, it's still gauche.

I somehow never mentioned OTT that I loved this movie, until now. I loved this movie.

think we may have had a lot of love for it in the thread for the first movie
― Banáná hÉireann (darraghmac), Saturday, 4 January 2020 16:48 (four years ago) link
I liked it so much I misremembered this being the one with Miss Poogy, which as it turns out was the only thing I really liked about the 2011 one.

‘I’ll get you what you want (cockatoo in malibu)’ is a legit banger

this movie is so good that even ricky gervais delivers a respectable performancefavourite line is probably danny trejo boasting about being an triple threat - a singer, dancer, and murderer’
