I mean the music is fun(I guess that answers my question) but the story in nonsensical and it’s just so fucking weird but not in a cool or fun way. The music sucks. I (my mom) paid good money for a full orchestra... oh wait, one weird nerd on a synthesizer that makes homemade replicas of Star Trek phasers in his spare time!

silentbob Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Reading all these reactions reminds me of the School Principal from Jersey Girl where every single kid and parent picks Memories from Cats to perform for everyone. Then they get to Ben and his kid doing Sweeney Todd and the lady is just so happy and relieved to hear that it ain’t Cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoJoe Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 The fact that I find Jennifer Hudson's singing voice like nails on a chalkboard did not help that trailer. That's going to be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 An odd trailer that seems to focus on the story instead of the music. It's been a while, but I don't remember a lick of what Cats is actually about. It always just seemed like a vehicle for the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always just seemed like a vehicle for the music I've never seen it, but my sister took her daughter to see it recently, and they said there's basically zero plot. I guess if you're going to spend this much (too much) money on a big Hollywood adaptation like this, you might as well try to jam some kind of story structure in there.

elbobo Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 the reviews are in and it is a horrible as we thought it would be, the reviews are quite entertaining though https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/cats_2019 https://www.metacritic.com/movie/cats it is a 16% on RT which is of course terrible but the average review is about a 3/10 which is apocalypticly bad stolen from reddit Boston Globe My eyes are burning. Oh God, my eyes. Collider Can you make a movie so bad that the Academy takes back your Best Director Oscar? Asking for Tom Hooper. The Beat Cats is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs. Hollywood Reporter Cat-astrophic. LA Times "Cats” is both a horror and an endurance test. Slashfilm There is a thin line between idiocy and genius, and Cats pukes a hairball on it and rubs its ass all over it. Variety Nine may not be enough lives for some of the stars to live down their involvement in this poorly conceived and executed adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical. Little White Lies I felt the light inside me slowly fading. The Playlist Once Tom Hooper's 110 minutes of Cats are over, theater is dead. And we unchosen ones are left, tragically, to continue living. New York Times It's amazing to see what Adult Swim can accomplish with a $100 million budget. I never knew Tom Hooper was capable of making a surrealist nightmare that would rival Jodorowsky, that could baffle David Lynch, that would prompt even the dark god Cthulhu to emit an impressed eldritch shriek of “nehehehehehe” Vulture To assess Cats as good or bad feels like the entirely wrong axis on which to see it. It is, with all affection, a monstrosity. The Daily Telegraph Glad to report that Cats is everything you’d hoped for and more: a mesmerisingly ugly fiasco that makes you feel like your brain is being eaten by a parasite. A viewing experience so stressful that it honestly brought on a migraine. Den of Geek One of the weirdest and most garish monstrosities to be birthed out of the Hollywood studio system in this century. Vanity Fair It’s an ugly stray who smells bad and should not be invited into your home, certainly. And yet it is its own kind of living creature, worthy of at least some basic compassion. The Guardian A purr-fectly dreadful hairball of woe. 1/5. Indiewire Tom Hooper’s feline musical is an absurd and exuberant mess. This visually dense adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber hit is at once too crazy for this world, and not quite crazy enough. Newsday Fans of the stage musical may swoon, but others will be severely allergic. The Wrap Andrew Lloyd Webber’s feline fantasy musical becomes a garish hairball. It’s hard to “ruin” Webber’s already strange musical, but Tom Hooper’s wrongheaded attempt certainly tries. Tom Hooper’s jarring fever dream of a spectacle is like something that escaped from Dr. Moreau’s creature laboratory instead of a poet’s and a composer’s feline (uni)verse, an un-catty valley hybrid of physical and digital that unsettles and crashes way more often than it enchants. Bleeding Cool Cats is a strange beast to begin with, but the combination of strange CGI makes the translation from stage to screen even worse. Slant This adaptation gets straight to the heart of the material, which is basically two hours of stray cats introducing themselves. Rendy Reviews On a scale of one to Zemeckis, Hooper's Cats boldly goes beyond the uncanny valley and creates a tier of its own. Screen Junkies A spectacular disaster...This movie feels like a prank but I don't know on whom. The Jam Report The most inexplicably bizarre film of the year, it's jawdropping for all the wrong reasons. RTE Ireland First off, full disclosure - I am not a cat person. Second off - after watching this frankly mortifying film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, I'm not altogether sure I am a movie person anymore either. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I've been enjoying the hell out of these reviews. I want to point out that The Guardian review is a riff on a T. S. Eliot poem called The Naming of Cats that is one of the musical numbers in the play. Yes, 2019 was the year that the Skywalker and Infinity sagas came to a close. It was the year of Joker, The Irishman, and Parasite. But perhaps most of all, this year in film may well be defined by Cats. A Jellicle year if there ever was one.

silentbob Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 There are 2 groups of people who can make this a success. The people who loved the stage musical and the forgotten FURRIES!!! They should be going in droves to see their kind represented on screen. . . but theatres probably won’t allow them to wear their “real skins” or costumes to see it. They can thank The Dark Knight for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
