* SpecialEffectsFailure: While it ''could'' be mistaken as CGI at first, Constantine's parkouring is actually really bad bluescreening. Which, considering how the first movie did such techniques quite successfully, is pretty bad.

Karma Houdini is not a YMMV trope.


* HoYay: {{Parodied}} big time with Sam and Jean, who both break down blubbering, and have a big hug when they realize they have to part ways.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Bobby Benson's babies]] help Constantine and Dominic at one point, but don't get any consequences. [[spoiler: Though they are shown in the gulag with the Muppets and various celebrity cameos during the finale, but it's not said whether they are there because of their crime or just there to be part of the finale.]]
** Although, [[spoiler: the fact that they do not get to come down from the wall with the other Muppets, implies that they might be prisoners.]]
*** Floyd, Janice, Rowlf, Rizzo, '80s Robot, Sweetums, and other innocent Muppets [[spoiler: remain on the wall as well]]. So probably not.

too soon is trivia meaning self-censorship.


* TooSoon: Many critics say that this movie won't do as well as the others due to the fact that most of the movie takes place in a Russian Gulag, and due to the problems in Russia at the moment....

Getting Crap Past The Radar isn\'t a YMMV trope. Moving.


* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Pretty much every scene involving the inmates rehearsing for the revue, what with the insanely tight undergarments and midriff baring shirts.
** For that matter, the pin-up of Piggy Kermit kept in his cell. Um...that's an awfully racy picture for a kid's movie.

*** It did finally make over $55 million, but at this point it's failed so much at gaining traction, the only real hope for the movie is DVD sales.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsg5Ho5EYBY This sketch]] from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' had the MuppetBabies playing Disney/TheLittleMermaid, and Mrs. Piggy wanted to be the titular character. The song "We're Doing A Sequel", in one of that song's many swipes at popular Hollywood movies, shows Mrs. Piggy dressed as Ariel.

* HarsherInHindsight: The characters repeatedly acknowledge that the Muppets don't have the strength to pull in large audiences ([[spoiler:at least without Dominic resorting to bribery]]). The film's dismal box-office performance demonstrates how right they are.

* ContestedSequel: This movie has been well-received overall, but not quite as much as ''Film/TheMuppets''. However, as noted below, a few fans prefer ''Most Wanted'' due to it not being a HumanFocusedAdaptation to any degree (unlike its more ambiguous predecessor) and, consequently, the much higher proportion of Muppet songs to human songs.

Minor edits.


** The movie was well received by critics, getting about a 77% fresh ratings. Unfortunately, it became a box office disaster. It originally tracked for a $mid-20-millions but ended up getting crushed by the poorly-received opening of "Divergent." The latter opened with $55 million, a record for a young adult book outside of the "Harry Potter," "Twilight," and "Hunger Games" series. The new Muppets movie isn't expected to reach $55 million in ''lifetime'' grosses.
