Try’s to hard, leaves us wanting.
The Muppet’s Wonderful Wizard of Oz has to be the worst Muppet movie ever to be put on screen. I was heavy with anticipation when the movie started last night only to find the production completely lack of any real energy or elation.

Where the movie fails is simple. The writers and producers are trying too hard to make them funny. If you watch the original three Muppet movies from the 1980’s you’ll find that the characters are funny to adults and children a like because the stories they were playing through were simple, and original. Adults related to the stories, not because the Muppets were playing adult jokes, but because the Muppets were playing adults.

This movie was touted as being the movie to bring back the adult humor in the Muppet franchise. In the film there is a scene where Pepe the Prawn unknowingly plays with Gonzo’s (Tin Man) nipples. The joke was completely distasteful and not funny.

The other problem with the new Television movies are that they rely too much on the main human characters and their ‘star appeal’. Why not rely on the Muppets to be Muppets and have the ‘star appeal’ revolve around them, rather than the other way around?

Overall i was very sad and dissatisfied with the movie and hope that with future endeavors they just write a story for actors and let Muppets play in it, rather than write a story for Muppets that Muppets can play their own jokes. And for someone’s sake please stop using already told stories.

Couldn’t get through it
I’m sorry–I just couldn’t get through it. Whatever happened to the innocent fun the Muppets brought to these stories?

* Toto as a shrimp? I don’t think so. Worse, a greedy, conniving, shrimp? I’m continuing not to think so.

* Rearranging Dorothy’s motivations from the original to the “teen music star” fantasy was appalling. Hasn’t that threadbare character motivation been done to death already?

* Ashanti’s acting skills make Keanu Reaves comparable to Laurence Olivier.

* Changing the encounter with the Munchkins and the Wicked Witch of the East? Not quite blasphemy, I’ll grant you, but very muddled.

* The on-camera death scene with Miss Piggy under the house was…well, just not on.

* Kermit as the scarecrow is okay, but not enough to save this.

* The sexual overtones of the nipple business in the TIN shack when the shrimp N/A is exploring Gonzo was completely unnecessary. This is Disney, AND the Muppets. They don’t DO that sort of thing. How did that get past Standards and Practices? I’m going to have nightmares tonight because of that scene.

* My wife watched it longer than I did, and she was put off by the defibrillator scene in the poppy club. I didn’t make it that far into the movie.

* They didn’t even have Mabel King singing “No Bad News.” (Yes, I know she passed in 1999, but it’s the principle of the thing.)

* From what I can see, this was the director’s first directing job. I’m voting that it be his last, as well. He’s no Sidney Lumet (and you know what Sid did to “The Wiz”) but hey, this guy’s biggest contribution to the movie business thus far was the role of the boom box punk in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
