The latest Muppets adventure, 'The Muppets Most Wanted,' is only days away from hitting theatres across the globe, and as anticipation is building, so is the film's expectations, especially as its 2011 predecessor was such a commercial success.

Like most big-screen Muppet spectacles, a cast of well-established actors joins the lovable group, but this ensemble cast could be the most talented yet.

Leading the pack is British comedian Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey, but the huge names that appear in cameos such as Lady Gaga, P Diddy, Celine Dion, Salma Hayek, Tom Hiddleston and Christopher Waltz, plus many more, is most impressive.

As the movie is only days away from release, let's take this chance to find out what critics have thought of the latest Muppets big-screen instalment.

The film has received relatively positive reviews, with critics complimenting the filmmakers, James Bobin and Nicholas Stoller, for their decision to follow on from 2011's version as well as including key elements that made audiences fall in love with The Muppets.

Eric Henderson of Slant Magazine thinks, "Freed from the burden of starting anew, the film restores The Muppets' rightful place as stars of their own show."

Stephanie Zacarek of Village Voice also gave praise as she writes, "The story matters only in that it creates opportunities for heaps of ridiculousness, and writer-director James Bobin (who also directed The Muppets), along with co-writer Nicholas Stoller, mines them skillfully and breezily."

James Rocchi from Cinephiled adds, "Most Wanted" continues the new-school adventures of The Muppets with good humor, good intentions and strong filmmaking, and hopefully won't be the last time we see this iteration of these characters on the big-screen."

The great cast of comedy co-stars and celebrity cameos is sure to be a cinemagoers favourite once 'Muppets: Most Wanted' is released on March 21st.
