I went to see The Grand Budapest Hotel last night, but, for whatever reason, it's not playing. SO, I saw Muppets: Most Wanted instead. It wasn't that bad, although it did have some flaws, and I won't recommend watching it.
The jokes were really funny (despite the humour-dead audience I seemed to be among) and they threw in some inside-jokes from previous Muppet movies, which I rather enjoyed. The music was great, as always, and the plot was interesting. However, there was one major plot-hole that I noticed. There was a this thing about Miss Piggy wanting Kermit to marry her, which eventually became a whole side-story in the film. What confused me was that, to my knowledge, they had already gotten married in Muppets Take Manhattan, so why is Miss Piggy talking about marriage now?? Are they not already married? That was the major plot flaw that I noticed, but there were at least two other small ones. There's a part where they randomly showed that Nadya (Tina Fey) had a massive crush on Kermit, but then they didn't go anywhere with it, nor did they bring it up again! I was left rather confused, although, I don't know if the children in the audience even noticed. The second minor flaw was near the end. The gang had just gotten Kermit back, and foiled Constantine's plan. For some reason, (SPOILER ALERT!!!!) Constantine decided to kidnap Miss Piggy, even though she is in no way needed for any type of plan he had or would have, and once they get her back, Nadya appears with a bunch of guards to arrest Kermit for breaking out of jail. This doesn't make sense because HE WAS NEVER SUPPOSE TO BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, so to get arrested for getting out does not make any sense!!!
This film, though funny, frustrated me. I give Muppets: Most Wanted a 3 out of 10.
