I have to say that I’ve always loved The Muppets since those childhood days of getting out of the bath on a Sunday night and my mum drying my hair while I watched The Muppet Show.
It’s taken me a while to catch up and review the new outing for our favourite and lovable characters, mainly down to time constraints, so tonight, I caught the last showing of The Muppets at @ApolloCinemas Rhyl and prepared myself to see if I could harken back to those child hood days of fun, laughter and just plain silly stuff!
The Muppets – Blazing Minds Film Review
The story goes that it’s been many years since the Muppets last worked together and they have now gone their separate ways and an oil tycoon, Tex Richman wants to take control of the Muppet Theatre to drill for oil, so starts a race to get all the Muppets back together to have telethon to raise $10 Million to save the theatre from the evil tycoon.
We have a serious of wonderful songs and daft sequences to bring all the Muppets together and it’s all a good bit of fun. Such as Animal being in anger management and not being allowed to hear the word “drums” 😆
The film kind of reminded me of my childhood days how the Muppets used to be on TV before they left us for the big screen with their movies, it was great see the opening sequence from the TV shows performed on the big screen and I even found myself singing along to the Muppet theme at that point.
I’m not sure if this is going to appeal to a lot of the children these days, that have been brought up with all the CGI on their TV screens these days and all the computer games etc, but for me it was a damn fine bit of nostalgia for me and probably other people watching the film that remembers the original Muppet Show.
Though I do have to say that some of the kids watching the film did find it very funny and they certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Overall Thoughts For The Muppets
A brilliant family film that both parents and kids can enjoy together, good clean fun and a laugh a minute.
