Well...I know a lot of people who don't like Ricky Gervais... Personally, I think the mainstream audience simply didn't care to see this one. Between the incredible reviews (wasn't it one of the best reviewed movie of 2011?), the nostalgia jolt, the emotional punch, the novelty of having a new...

It didn't. It wasn't as sentimental, with nowhere near as many "here's a scene that will make you cry" moments. In fact, there were several scenes in TM that had me chocked up, even on later viewers. There's nothing like that in MMW. It's a fun movie, but it's not going for emotional gut...

Still doesn't change the fact that the effects during the gulag finale are almost cringeworthy.

I, uh, don't think the movie needing more than three weeks to break even on a very, very modest budget is something anyone should be celebrating.

Yeah, how dare people like other movies. :grr:

Because the majority of audiences aren't hardcore Muppet fans who see things that way.

I don't see how anyone can blame people for comparing MMW against the first film. Aside from Segal, all the same people were behind both films and this one picks up directly where the first one leaves off. They make a big deal about it being a sequel and, with basically the same crew making it...

I think one of the biggest reasons the 2011 film did so well was that reviews and word of mouth were unbelievably good. Seriously, wasn't it one of the very best reviewed movies of that year? That's an accomplishment. Everyone wants to see a movie like that. Additionally, it was a novelty to see...

OR maybe maybe it's because Disney doesn't seem to want to release DVD sets of old shows anymore.

Sure, if you want to have the pristine, widescreen copy you're watching suddenly switch to a fullscreen print of inferior quality. I'd rather not have this song in the movie at all than have something like that happen. Personally, I can't stand the song because it stops the movie dead. But...

I've been saying this for years. That rationale doesn't make a lick of sense. Jim performed Kermit for 35 years and STILL had the time to perform Dr. Teeth, Rowlf, Waldorf, and the Swedish Chef in almost every Muppet production while also playing Ernie at the same time on Sesame Street. I refuse...

The MPAA planned to give South Park an NC-17 rating and Parker and Stone had to fight pretty hard to get that rating down to an R.

An opinion I agree with. Walter was created FOR "The Muppets". His character is basically the plot device that drives the plot. I don't see how his "Wow, the Muppets are so cool! Golly Gee! Your fans love you! I'm gonna pass out now since I'm in Kermit's presence!" shtick is really something...

Really??? I have a hard time believing that. I loved this movie too but...you've watched this over 70 times?!

I'll start caring if and when we get Rowlf or Scooter.

It's a really easy answer. The TV-to-DVD market is dying pretty fast. This is especially true at Disney. The company almost NEVER releases box sets of TV shows anymore. If they release anything related to their TV properties, it's best-of compilations of newer shows currently airing on the...

I'd have no problem seeing Rowlf and Dr. Teeth continue to get more dialogue and large roles even if it does mean seeing a lot less of Pepe. But that's just me. I don't hate Pepe, but for a long time he was ALL OVER THE PLACE. It didn't bother me at all that him and Rizzo didn't appear much in...

I'm pretty sure MTM and MFS are wholly owned by Sony, guys. And probably always will be.

It was posted 6 years ago. Does it really matter? LOL

Ok wow. Kermit, Scooter, Gonzo, Fozzie and Rowlf together. Bantering back and forth. Comfortable with each other and just acting natural. Everyone (except Rizzo but I'm willing to forgive that) has something to say and it doesn't feel like anyone is in the background because no one is...
