YES.
[Movies] Talk about the last movie you saw 2: Electric Threadaloo

Watched The Muppets (2011) Saturday night. I was very impressed. Good story, good music and great movie.
Only slight "drawback" that I have with the movie is that Frank Oz decided not to participate with it and did not do the voices of his characters, Fozzy and Miss Piggy. I could tell a little with Piggy, but Fozzy was very obvious to me.

Yes, I saw it again. Because.

Well, it sounded like he was pissed they passed over his screenplay revival of the Muppets for Seagals, so I get being annoyed about it. I mean, imagine if you were a integral part of something huge and then when the time came to revive it your ideas got thrown out. I'm not saying he was fair to this movie, he clearly wasn't, but I can see that making a person a little bitter. Hopefully he sees it and changes his mind.
The Muppets is better than any of the Oz directed Muppet movies while still making me feel like the 4 year old boy with a broken leg watching Muppet Show reruns on CBC. It was amazing and it was the best first date movie ever. Fuck this weekend ruled.
Jason Segal is pretty fucking talented.

I haven't seen it, but is it wrong that I am absolutely stoked to watch Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie?

Yes, it is. They are terrible comedians and they haven't had a good show since the first season of Tom Goes to the Mayor.
Nobody remembers hobo Joe...
*sob* I bought the Muppets soundtrack. I warn you. Do not buy it! I haven't been able to stop listening to it since buying it! YOU WILL BECOME OBSESSED!
<--- Confession: I've never been a fan of the Muppets. Never could get through a single one of their movies. They hold zero appeal to me.
Only one who I ever found slightly amusing was Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Otherwise? Nope.
*This isn't a troll, it's a straight up confession.

There was a murdering muppet, The Swedish Chef! You should see what he does to food.
Everyone is allowed their own opinions and likes. Yours is just wrong on this.

I don't think even that joke works because she didn't pull a Charlie "what you like sucks and what I like is best in life". She didn't voice an opinion on them; she just said she never saw the appeal.
Funny, I always thought Sheg as the Crazy Harry of our forums.
While I get the concept you're going for, given the references and in-jokes from previous muppet media and how they hit the tone and style of the muppets so well, saying it's a "musical that happens to have the muppets" is an insult to all the work they did. It's definitely a muppet movie, just one written to be able to be someone's first exposure to the muppets.
As someone who'd just watched The Muppet Movie before going to see The Muppets, I agree. They honed in on a lot of the atmosphere, timing, and similar sense of humor to the older films. It felt like it belonged right alongside Muppet Movie, Muppet Caper, and Manhattan.
Which are the only good muppets films as far as I'm concerned.
I STILL give Muppet Treasure Island a pass because Tim Curry was absolutely amazing in that film.
...So, almost all of them.
To be fair, the last two were made for TV movies and have only been shown a few times. They don't get put on the air very often.

I like Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, but I haven't seen it in a long time.
I liked that movie too, but I wouldn't put it in the Muppets category. Basically, if it doesn't feature the main characters, Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, Mrs Piggy, then I don't really consider it a muppet movie, rather a Jim Henson Production.
For example, My favorite movie Labyrith. Man, that company can work magic with puppets.
