This is a review more about the Blu-Ray than the movie, although I will say that I never got into the muppets, and haven't really paid attention to the movies that much until this one. I really liked this one, but I'm not a Muppet "purist" so I didn't feel that it detracted at all. As an adult with a 10 year old son, this one was FAR more fun for me to watch as a grownup.
But after seeing the movie, my son, as always, wanted the soundtrack. I agreed, I loved the songs. But we were surprised at how much longer most of the songs were - and a subsequent viewing of the movie had the shorter songs verified again. We loved some of the lines in the soundtrack songs that they cut out of the movie.
So the Blu-Ray immediately got 5 stars from us because they included the extended version of the movie, which has the songs in their entirety, just like on the soundtrack, with all the great lines they cut out of the standard movie version.
The extras aren't much of a surprise, since they had them on You Tube and such for a while now, the Rizzo's Biggest Fan and the "alternate" cut from the old hecklers that was just their couple moments in the movie as "The Whole Movie." But they did have what they called the longest blooper reel in Muppet History. And it had some good parts in there, although I think they went overboard with the Ricky Gervais laughing all the time. But it was fun to watch him cracking up when he was trying to deliver his lines, which really was a neat insight to how much fun he must have had working on this movie.
The sound is great, full surround, and the transfer was well done. It looks awesome on our big LED TV. And there are a lot of extra scenes as well that were not in the original movie. All told there's about 12 more minutes of movie here, including a great scene from outside a bathroom door with Constantine and Dominic arguing over who has to go, repeating number one and number two. There's only a few "new" scenes, but many of the scenes actually have just a few extra lines in them, which in some cases actually explain a few things in more detail.
So if you or your kid liked the movie, this is definitely the version to get. And it includes a DVD as well, and their digital copy. Even if it was just the Blu-Ray disc and nothing else, this would've been worth it for me to get the full songs in the movie with the extra scenes.
