The Muppets is extremely heartwarming and funny, charming and just innocent. It features lovable performances from the whole cast with some great musical numbers. I give this movie 99%.
It's been twelve years since the Muppets have been featured on the big screen, and with their last adventure (Muppets From Space) resulting in commercial failure, many have questioned whether the characters should be given another shot.

I'm pleased to report that the answer to that question is a resounding "yes."Â…Expand
The Muppets uses its cleverness from its early years of joking us around, perfectly calls in the rest of its amazing characters, and mix them both to give you an exciting Disney attempt for the Muppets.

The Muppets introduced themselves once again to a younger audience. The story kept it simple but the story was very well written. Jason Segel co-wrote the script and starred in the film but I never felt like he was trying to steal the spotlight from the real star, Kermit the Frog. Kermit is once again a character that everyone loves and the same goes for his fellow Muppets. There are even a few new additions to the group that make their presence felt. The Muppets is a funny children's film that is guaranteed to impress old fans and fans from a new generation.…Expand
The Muppets is obviously more aimed towards children and they will LOVE it. It's almost a guarantee, they are funny, lovable and such good characters. I grew up with the Muppets and went to see this one and realised they've still got it!

It's almost a guarantee, they are funny, lovable and such good characters. I grew up with the Muppets and went to see this one and realised they've still got it! They just have a lovable glow which can't be explained but everyone likes them! The array of celebrities in this movie made it slightly better too. And the songs although I hate to admit it, do get stuck in my head after watching!…Expand
I decided to watch this movie in the hope that it would be cute, humorous and entertaining. However, I was majorly disappointed. I didn't find any comedy in the songs, the jokes, or the characters. Perhaps it's time for the once charming Muppets to retire, as they've lost their touch. I wasI decided to watch this movie in the hope that it would be cute, humorous and entertaining. However, I was majorly disappointed. I didn't find any comedy in the songs, the jokes, or the characters. Perhaps it's time for the once charming Muppets to retire, as they've lost their touch. I was so, incredibly bored for such long stretches of time I nearly walked out of the theater; I would have been more entertained watching the 10-hour loop of Nyan Cat on YouTube. Now, I've read some of the other user comments saying that this movie was perfect for those who grew up with the Muppets, and perhaps that's were the positive reviews come from. From the eyes of a 13-yr-old, though, this movie was incredible boring. My 11-yr-old sister and my mother (she's 39 forever) watched the movie as well agree with this view, so I doubt it's the age difference that made this movie much a catastrophe for me. I wouldn't waste my dollar twenty-five on a red-box rental, either.…Expand
