Muppet Treasure Island

Although this film has taken quite a beating since its release, I fail to understand why. The songs are catchy, the script is hilarious, and the performances are stellar.

Let's start with the music. Whether it's the wonderfully fun "Cabin Fever," the touching "Love Led Us Here," or another one of the wide array of tunes, nobody can say that they are inferior to any other Muppets melodies.

The script is full of one liners and clever dialogue that never grows old, delivered by a cast and vocal talents who are incredibly talented. Tim Curry, sinister and wonderful as ever, plays Long John Silver to perfection. Billy Connolly is also worth mentioning, despite his brief appearance in the film. And young Jim Hawkins is just as he should be, albeit surrounded by a crew of muppet pirates.

This is my favorite Muppet film, and I think everybody should give it a try and embrace a different sort of humor-filled extravaganza.

Probably the most underrated movie of the last CENTURY, "Muppet Treasure Island" is a must see for everyone. Kermit the Frog has a sword fight, for Pete's sake! What fun. The Muppets are hilarious and touching, as usual, the music is catchy, and Kevin Bishop and Tim Curry act and sing beautifully. I especially enjoy the mix of human and Muppet pirates, and the scene with the "visually challenged fiend."

Awsome Muppet Adventure. I don't care how many people hate this movie, I still think it's smart, funny, and amazing. The muppets still have it. Though I agree by most by saying it's not the best Muppet movie, it sure beats the hell outta "The great muppet caper" (How slow was that movie?!). Tim Curry, the greatest and most under rated musical preformer alive, is at his element here. The music is awsome and his one song ("Upstage Lads, this is me only number!") is awsome. This is a good movie. For a pirate movie, and a muppet movie.

This review will not in any way objective; this was one of my favorite films as a child, and even as I started this movie up (for the first time on Blu Ray, not a VHS tape), I could feel a touch of excitement as the first song began. I found myself remembering bits and pieces of the songs and some of the gags. But it was the second song that really got me. When the song "There's Gotta Be Something Better," started, I found actual tears of nostalgia began to well up in my eyes and chills ran through me for almost the entirety of the song. To say that this review is objective would be a complete and utter lie. Watching this movie brings back many memories of my childhood, but it's more than that. This is a film that meant so much to my childhood that if it were up to me, this movie would be passed down through my family's generations.

There's many contenders for greatest actors.of all time, Tim Curry is a solid choice and if someone said he was their favourite, I wouldn't argue the point.

He absolutely steals the show in just about every role he's ever been cast in.

This film is no different. He absolute chews the scenery and looks to be having the time of his life.

Great film, highly recommended.
