“I hate to give the Muppets anything less than a 10, I really do. Iu0026#39;m an enormous Muppets fan, but this movie disappointed on a couple counts. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFirst, they started using CGI – A lot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe charm of the Muppets is that… well, they are puppets. That somehow got lost in translation in this movie when some scenes included full bodies of dancing and walking Muppets. In the past movies, Muppets were shown full-bodied only as stop-action; but the CGI thing just takes the fun and mystery out of it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother negative is over-saturation of the Muppets. They are everywhere now, from car commercials to my lunch at Subway. Disney is milking the franchise to death, sadly, so the movie doesnu0026#39;t have that special pop.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll that said, the movie starts with a bang. Itu0026#39;s a hilarious transition from the last film, though the absence of Jason Segal is quickly noticed. A cameo may have done justice there.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, the movie is fun; though the writing didnu0026#39;t get a lot of laugh- out-loud moments like their other films. The evil Kermit concept was well executed and the human actors were excellent in their roles. A few good songs, but nothing Iu0026#39;d commit to memory to sing on a road trip.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s worth a watch for every Muppet fan, and overall a strong 7 out of 10.”
