Ah, the rare film where the reviews are more entertaining than the film. 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. Slant This adaptation gets straight to the heart of the material, which is basically two hours of stray cats introducing themselves. The Guardian A purr-fectly dreadful hairball of woe. 1/5. The Daily Telegraph Glad to report that Cats is everything youd hoped for and more: a mesmerisingly ugly fiasco that makes you feel like your brain is being eaten by a parasite --- I just decided to change this sig.

At a certain point, reviews are less critique and more entertainment
Obviously the movie didn't literally make the reviewer dislike movies, but it's funnier that way Just like I'm sure the reviewers saw the movie, I am just sure they aren't giving an accurate critique, but rather an entertaining one When people start competing for the most flowery or visceral adjectives, that's a signal to me that they're focusing on entertainment Yahtzee/ZeroPunctuation is probably the most obvious culprit of this when it comes to video games --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

I have seen the musical. Its weird as hell but the music is catchy.

These overwhelmingly negative reviews are the best advertising CATS could ask for. Anyone who still wanted to see the film in earnest after... those trailers certainly won't be scared off by these reviews either. However, these "OH GOD, MY EYES"-type reviews will get people interested in seeing just how high the dumpster fire is blazing. ...I kinda want to see it now too. --- The music was thud-like.

Best movie of 2019 for me. It has a few slow parts, but most of the movie is terrible enough to entertain. Definitely recommend.

Seriously. I can imagine the furries are just as horrified.
Cats has always been kind of shitty, though. The Broadway show also makes the characters look horrifying; like some sort of furry fantasy gone wrong with tinges of glam rock influences in the costume designs because truly, why the fuck not. It's like walking into some very odd fetishist's idea of an animal costume party. It's part of the charm at this point. The show has always been about odd-looking people in costumes prancing around singing somewhat catchy songs. We knew the critics would have a field day with this thing and I imagine many of these reviews had been in the works far before the movie released. The plot has always been whatever; the focus would be entirely on the visuals (considering this is an adaptation) and they didn't need to watch the movie for that to transfer over. It's their chance to fuck around and sprinkle the reviews with humor, because it's that kind of movie where the public would always demand for them to just shit on it. And shit on it they did. --- .-#Elements of Water#-. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As a furry and a fan of the musical, I'm going to try and see this with an open mind. Hopefully the wonky designs will just be an awkward step to better "digital fur technology" in the future.

I watched the movie. I was not at all familiar with the musical.
But to my pleasant, overall, I liked it. I discovered some new songs that make it to my playlist ( It's too bad most of the movies feel like nonsense and the creepy characters need some time to get used to.
