I recently watched the US disc of this and really enjoyed it. I am old enough to have seen these characters when they were on tv all those years ago! In fact the film has got me back into them somewhat - I have since bought the season 1 dvd boxset of The Muppet Show, and the dvd of The Muppet Movie!

I have very fond memories of watching the muppets on tv as a kid (and the crazy swedish chef made me so proud to be part swede). I can't wait to get this new movie to share with my kids.
The muppets ROCK!

I was the same.... grew up loving the Muppets as a kid... was excited by the good review vibes coming out before it's cinema release...

But when i saw the movie.. found it to be quite dull

IMO - it's a somewhat poor story that makes little sense, with very few humorous moments... couldn't see why it got so much hype

Wow, i couldn't agree with you more, it's like you took the words right out of my mouth.

I watched this last night and i don't think i laughed out loud once, the odd chuckle maybe but that was it. Even my 9 year old nephew didn't really enjoy it so it's not as if it was just me that had grown out of The Muppets.

I was so looking forward to seeing this due to all the good reviews etc, i too was a big Muppets fan when i was a kid but the 'man or muppet' song was the only part of the film i really enjoyed.

This & Hugo are now the 2 most over-rated movies i've seen this year & i'll be sticking mine on Ebay as i'll never watch it again.

Well I agree with you about Hugo being overrated, but I really enjoyed The Muppets. But hey...opinions are like ars*h***es...everybody has one!
