Almost gave up halfway through, and this viewer prides himself on his ability to endure all sorts of crap. The critics were exactly right: it's a colossal misfire on multiple levels, and the fact that it even exists and was released in its current form is baffling in itself, calling into question the judgement of all involved. It's a gaudy shitshow with maybe 1 or 2 half decent set pieces that aren't properly utilized; the humour is dire and so are the songs.

Em primeiro lugar eu não gosto do Tom Hooper, sem segundo esse é menos irritante dos seus filmes. Vi a versão em Blu-ray, não sei se deram uma lapidada nos efeitos, mas não vi nada de absurdo como estavam comentando. Também me diverti demais buscando as referência dos poemas do T.S Eliot nele, é um dos meus livros favoritos de poesia de sempre, plus sou uma incurável cat people e se você ama gatos não tem como não gostar disso aqui. BlurayRip RARBG.

Not sure what to say. I wasn't as repulsed as many others have been. At the same time I'm very happy I haven't seen the actual Cats stage musical, which I will continue to avoid after seeing this screen musical. Release the asshole version, I guess. Or not? Not even sure about that.

Friendly reminder: Hooper beat out Fincher, the Coens and Aranofsky for best director and then went on to make this. A film whose every decision is just...baffling. Why do the cats look like this? Why is this film so ugly? why does its direction seem to be actively working against the knowingly manic energy of the original musical? And why oh why did anyone think that Cats, of all of the musicals out there, could translate to the screen? The most expensive genuine disaster since Last Airbender.

Not a fan of musicals but I sat through this to see just how bad it was ... and it's not that bad. A bunch of crap songs with humans poorly dressed up to try look and act like cats was exactly what the musical was, so there's nothing we shouldn't have been expecting here. Some of the casting could have been better but I'm surprised at the universal ridicule this got and feel bad for the scores of artists in front of and behind the camera who did their best but don't even get a saucer of milk.

"We can make more money with a flop than with a hit." Cats (the live show) is (apparently) loved for its music, dancing and show tunes; Hooper seems to have imported these elements from the stage but forgot to adapt them for cinema. The result is an embarrassing dump of camp nonsense that is just bad, with no redeeming entertainment value. Hudson's Memory is well-performed, but the music so loud that it loses any emotional resonance. A Jellicle cat wants to kill itself to escape this musical.

How do you rate this? I want to give it 100 for the sheer craziness and ball to the wall "fuck-it-let's-just-do-it"-attitude. I'm pretty that Hooper got precisely the movie he wanted... Even if the studio didn't. Cats. Sexualized cats singing, stripping and Rebel Wilson. Dear Studio sometimes it's okay to say no in an improv session. However my biggest problem with Cats is that it's boring. It's either bat shit crazy or boring. And a movie this crazy should NEVER be boring.

It's awfulness is way too exaggerated and hypocritical considering many as bland and boring movies each single one of us watches every year. The lack of narrative structure is unforgivable though.

The cats introduce themselves. That's the plot. There's nothing to the madness. No point. How did Tom Hooper win an Oscar 10 years ago? Is Ian Mckellen ok? He looked actually sick and dying. Why is everyone breathing so heavily? Was that always a part of musicals? It's 3 weeks after this movie got patched why can I still see Judi Dench's wedding ring. Why did this movie get a day 1 patch? Why is Idrs Elba Naked? What does a Cat look like? What is life? Memories was fantastic, Hudson nailed it.

It's called suspension of disbelief, not suspension of narrative, or common sense. It's probably fine as a collection of songs, it really doesn't work as a story. The questions that kept ringing in my head were "What is this, why should I care and generally just why?" Francesca Hayward sings and dances prettily enough and Jennifer Hudson belts out Memories well, so points for that. Everything else, to the pit with ye!

The biggest positive is Francesca Hayward, her ballet skills and superb grace served her well--though you wouldn't know it from the way she's been completely ignored in the central role of the film. The worst was Jennifer Hudson, who appeared to be trying too hard, and for God's sake needed some Kleenex. Overall, it doesn't deserve the feeding frenzy it's getting.

Cats is the cringiest, most painful movie experience I've had all year, yet I can't recommend it enough. It's a nightmarish fever dream of a film, the likes of which will likely never been seen again.

Not the fun kind of awful. I have so many questions, and have no doubt that the answers would not do anything to lift my enjoyment of this astonishing assault on the senses which makes no sense, internally or externally, and has convinced me that people who like Lloyd Webber musicals are indeed the worst of all people. The idea that anyone saw any part of the making of this and thought it was in any way acceptable actually baffles me.

When all the cutting remarks are no longer news, there is an actual movie that is neither successful nor catastrophic. People that love the music (and musical) will probably like the movie, despite the dubious CGI and overall weirdness.

"I couldn't wait to see it. After the show I was asked if I wanted to go meet some of the performers backstage. Man, I was thrilled. But when I got back there, they were drunk and out of control. Rumpus Cat and Macavity kept feeling up my leg. I tried to leave, but, Rumpleteazer held me down, and... I was raped by Mr. Mistoffelees."

One of the most bizarrely ill-conceived blockbusters I've ever seen: not enough of a disaster to tip over into camp delirium, but enough of one to make you question damn near every decision every person in this film made along the way. If I had to choose any single element which most disturbed me (and there are many candidates), it's anything and everything to do with the Judi Dench cat, who is, along with the rest of the cast, ENTIRELY TOO HORNY.

More or less a hollow, ugly bore. Shucked of its source material's whimsy and sexuality, the emotional beats fall flat following bizarrely bad editing choices, radical casting mistakes, and blood-curdling poorly timed comedy. Justice for a horny Cats! You're better off watching the 1998 direct-to-video adaptation of the musical. I'm SHOCKED to report that Tom Hooper put forth an unremarkable cinematic endeavor colored more by its own cynicism than by any CG malpractice.

Yep, every bit as bizarre and terrible as that trailer looked. Is there ANY possible way that this could have worked? Even if that fundamental design decision (which will go down in film history as an all-time terrible idea) was different, or if someone other than Hooper took this on, or if the cast was completely different (at least Corden and Wilson)? Maybe some things should just stay unadapted and remain in that small window of time in which they made any sense as popular entertainment.

Garbage. I loved it. Take the whole family while you still can see the glitchy version in all of its monumentally disastrous glory before a serious attempt to improve it is made. While i'm still young i'm gonna tout this as the Rocky Horror of our time; a shit film that will gain momentum from midnight screenings and a cult following. I'm waiting for this movement to eagerly happen. Its de-glitching will be the Simon's Quest: Redaction of cinema; vfx tweaks can't fix an ultimately broken film

I honestly had no idea what the hell was going on for almost all of Cats. It just seemed like it was Musical Number, Introduce New Cat, Musical Number over and over again with unfunny jokes, weird dialogue and no plot so it got extremely tedious fast. The CGI Cats looked really awful and unsettling. It clearly had high production values behind it and the actors seemed to be trying, but my God this was easily one of the worst movies I’ve seen in 2019. I’m glad I witnessed this Catastrophe!
