the death nail of the muppets......
I am a huge henson fan but this movie was a shame,I wish jim was here to do it because it would have been alot better,my main quaral was the fact that there was literally no magic that is typically found in a jim henson production,no rainbows,no talking trees (you would think that a muppet movie would have talking tree's since the original oz had them),hardly any music,no songs that bring tears to your eyes (like "rainbow connection" or "somewhere over the rainbow"),it's not that colorful in fact most of the movie is dark and drab,it's not that funny in fact every 5 mnutes they had to stick a stupid culteral joke about girls gone wild,the terror alert system,american idol and other stuff that will be dated in 10 years,the humor was crude which I felt isn't what the muppets are all about,I was very surprised that they put the reference about the passion of the christ in it,that seemed like something that henson wouldn't do if he was still here,all in all I feel that they should just stick to realesing the old stuff on dvd like the muppet show,the tv special,the older movies,sam and freinds,muppets tonight and just retire the muppets from any new productions for awhile,so in conclusion I don't think henson had this in mind when he wanted to do a wizard of oz type of movie back in the day,THIS IS THE DEATH NAIL OF THE MUPPETS!!!!

OH LIGHTEN UP
Um, if you cant see the humor in a Muppet talking about his nipples...you may be taking life a bit too seriously. Yeah maybe this movie has some adult humor but how soon you parents forget that the Muppet Show was originally an ADULT show that aired on in PRIME TIME!!! Stop being hypocritcal. You know the show's roots and now you're complaining that its regained some of the adult 'edge' because you're trying to shelter your kids. Please, do us all a favor...lighten up and stop whining. This movie is no cinematic masterpiece, but there times where I was in hysterics. Thats what the Muppets were about, making people of ALL ages laugh. I mean, its hard not to laugh at a talking shrimp in a hoody and Quentin Tarantino terrorizing Kermit with a ninja sword. Jim Henson probably IS rolling over in his grave...from LAUGHTER. And if you think Henson didnt have a dark side, I have three words for you: "The Dark Crystal." Do yourself a favor. Lighten up, watch this movie and have some laughs. Geez.

Nowhere near as fun
My daughter and I were very disappointed. We have always enjoyed the Muppet movies and were looking forward to an enjoyable experience. We kept waiting for it to get better, but it was a waste of time. There was no cohesiveness, the songs were drab, the jokes were either nonexistent or not up to Muppet standards. I have already donated the DVD to Goodwill.
