landyvlad Many people would be outright disgusted by this film, which in itself demonstrates its brilliance. I've not hear Peter Jackson discuss or admit responsibility for this film in ANY interview I've seen with him since he started making the Tolkien films. And frankly the murder, mayhem, violence and gore in this film makes the LOTR cycle seem perfectly cartoonish. And in this film there are cars, people don't have to walk for miles and miles and miles... when they could have just rode a giant eagle. But I digress.I first saw this film when I was back at Uni, when it was released. In all likelihood I would have been drunk, as must Peter Jackson when he wrote and directed the thing. Whatever he was on, it liberated his mind sufficiently to create art with the spirit and genius of Poe, Lovecraft, and Coleridge.OK not quite - but if there was any name you'd expect to be attached to a film like this it would be Tarantino, not Jackson.Overall I give this a 10 out of 10. Partly because it's genius and mostly because whatever star rating I give it makes no difference to the universe....And in parting, a tip: Enjoy life and live it to the full, because you never know when you might choke on a chocolate cherry cake in someone's cleavage. :)

Diego Amado Olivas Arana I watched this movie yesterday as a random chill plan of healthy and cool procrastination: watching movies about little monsters. So after 'The Gate' (a good one) and Munchies (don't watch it), it was Meet the Feebles turn. And well, we still have like 5 more 80's little monsters movies to watch but I'm quite sure this may be the best. IT'S A MUST WATCH. Indeed. I mean, the idea is just pretty good: making kinda of a drama/black comedy story about what happens behind a big, famous, theater musical... What, you thought I'm talking about "Birdman" now? No, this is totally different. This whole thing is made with puppets. And not Henson's puppets. They can be as cute as creepy, as funny as kinky, as wise as dirty. I don't know. Is far way more violent than Birdman (if we're going to continue with the comparison)... And it has some characters that are good, still trying to do the right thing, while in Birdman we have a big bunch of crazy selfish actors trying to do everything for anything.Of course, it is a MUST WATCH only if you are into B movies, 80's movies, cult classics or whatever... This is quite an accurate choice. Terribly disgusting sometimes, so be mindful with what you are eating while watching'... More than anything is just as mad as hilarious. I'd say go for it.Diego Olivas Arana

fearfulofspiders To sum it up, when someone says this film is "perverse", do not take it with extreme caution, take it as a threat on your life. This film is so crazy it's actually kinda good.I did NOT like this film the first time I watched it, mainly because there's a lot of raunchy moments and some grotesque imagery, and had I not given it a second chance, I might have rated it much lower. I ADORE/ADMIRE/LOVE Peter Jackson, and believe him to be a remnant of classic Hollywood-style, but to say the least: this is his weakest motion picture to date.The voice-work for the puppets is great, however, there's just so much perversity, I had to look away. The snuff film was okay, and the poor puppet that thought he had an STD provided for some laughs, but other than that, the acting cannot save the majority of comedy.The puppets themselves range from hideous to cutely-hideous, and the final 10-minutes of the movie are the funniest moments out of the entire film. The carnage resembles that of Bad Taste and Braindead, though not nearly as gory and above-the-bar in gross-out.All in all, this was an excellent idea, if not poorly executed. There's not a lot of flaws, but the flaws are so huge themselves that they warrant Meet the Feebles a 7-star review.This is Peter Jackson's weakest film to date, and I highly suggest his fans or fans of The Lord of the Rings (such as me) skip out on seeing this picture... unless you absolutely HAVE TO.Enjoy.

george_sano I made the mistake of watching this film back in 1997, when I was the tender age of seven years old. Back then, this was the most cruel, disgusting thing I had ever seen and it sent me into shock.Now, at the ripe old age of eighteen, I can proudly say, this is the movie that made me the twisted monkey I am today.The film itself was done by the same guy who directed the infamously long "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Peter Jackson. You wouldn't guess it by the budget, but that doesn't remove any enjoyment. The film reeks of genius, taking something very fun and family friendly (The Muppets, and any other puppet-based kids show) and adding some not-so-family-safe elements (drugs, sex, killing, STDs, blackmail, date-rape, porn, swearing, toilet humour, homosexuality, eating disorders, emotional instability, smoking, suicide and excessive amounts of blood).But how does it add up? Well, quite honestly I think this movie is one of the best pieces of satire ever created. Having seen a fair few puppet shows, it never crossed my mind about what Kermit would be like as a drug addicted ex-Vietnam veteran, or if the rest of the crew went bad. And Peter Jackson brings out the depravity greatly, with most of the movie being filmed in a cramped back-stage area that is covered in filth.I would recommend this to anybody who has a very wicked sense of humour, since this has quite possibly destroyed more than a few childhoods. It definitely ruined mine, and I certainly would say adults only. Only show it to your children if you're sick in the head, or if you hate them.
