In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

First of all, in the first musical number, they said that sequels are never quite as good. Well they got that right, because it was crap (excuse the minor language). I felt the song pretty much gave everyone an excuse to give us a film that was underpar, and BOY WAS IT UNDERPAR

I grew up loving The Muppet Show. I learned from Sesame Street, which I called 'Nesame Street.' Jim Henson was a brilliant man. But, this latest in Muppet movies lacked, well, everything. The basic plot of someone, a nefarious Kermit wannabe, stealing Kermit's identity and carrying on as Kermit,despite obvious accent and behavior quirks. The Muppets didn't realize anything was wrong. It lacked imagination. A sentence I never would have put in conjunction with Jim Henson before. The plot wasn't engaging, was slightly more adult than it should have been, and was lacking Muppet charm. Tina Fey, worth her horrible accent didn't help matters much. Ricky Gervais was horrid. All in all, just skip it.

I didn't think a Muppet movie headlined by three TV stars would be much fun, but color me wrong on that one. Ty Burrell, Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais fit their parts well and within the movie's fabric, and I did get a kick out of the Burrell and Sam the Eagle duo. And Fey with a Russian accent totally works. Good cameos, too; Frank Langella was a nice surprise.Even more importantly, "Muppets Most Wanted" recaptures the unruly spirit of "The Muppet Show'. Throw in some Pink Panther caper action and it's a good bit of fun. The cheesy gags are still around, and so are the exploding tendencies. And the Muppets didn't play second to the humans. The series has regained its footing with this.7/10

Kermit and friends are given a sequel right after finishing the last movie. Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais) convinces the Muppets to go on a world tour. Meanwhile evil frog Constantine escapes from a Russian gulag run by Nadya (Tina Fey). Badguy is actually Constantine's second and he sets Kermit up to get arrested while Constantine takes over Kermit's place. Badguy and Constantine break into a museum during a show to steal paintings. Sam the Eagle and Inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon (Ty Burrell) investigate. Napoleon suspects the second most dangerous criminal The Lemur. However, the painting is only a map for Constantine to do an even bigger heist down the road.This starts well with the movie breaking down the 4th wall and singing about the sequel. It's fun and then Kermit is separated from the other Muppets. It's still fun but it loses the chemistry of Kemit leading the group. It doesn't happen all at once but eventually the separation takes a toll on the film. The group needs a leader and Walter can't be it. Kemit needs to escape much earlier. He spends too much time in the gulag which is not the funniest place. Also the gulag doesn't introduce any new friends for Kemit.
