oh fuck oh no look at this cats film

Apart from anything else (and there's so much else) the cats look too small. There's a few bits where they're sitting at a table or jumping off a windowsill and the proportions would make them more hamster sized than cat sized. Granted Hamsters! hasn't got quite the same ring to it, but Corden and Wilson would arguably suit hamster costumes more than cat ones.

Well, I liked it, and not just because I fancy the slim female cat.

Going to have a Rum Tum Tugger over her later? Empty out them Mungojerries.

The composition is just one of the many terrible things about this.

Rebel Wilson fall over.

I think that is somewhat harsh. She tends to play people who don't give a shit about their weight while at the same time not ignoring the fact that she is a fat woman in a world were people mock fat women.

I just remember that scene from the movie she did, where she accidentally exposes her naked lower half to an audience and the audience react with disgust at the sight of a naked larger lady.  I'm not sure why condemning that kind of body shaming humour makes me harsh?

I think that you're possibly being a tad generous in crediting her movies as some kind of biting satire upon the ills of society's attitude towards overweight people.  They're movies which encourage a reaction of "she's fat, disgusting and sexually repugnant. lolz".

I could only watch 45 seconds of that trailer because the face of absolute disgust I was pulling started to ache and the nightmare wasn't even halfway over.  Imagine watching the entire film.  At the end you'd be like that kid in Stephen King's 'The Jaunt' who stopped himself from being put to sleep during an ultra-long-distance space-teleportation journey and experienced a billion years as just a consciousness alone in an infinite white void, then arrived on the other side and clawed his own eyes out.

Sexy cat was good though

Yeah Sexy Cat was better than Corden Cat.

Gandalf Cat, Luther Cat and M Cat were pretty good cats too.

I did not recognise all of the other cats but they all seem like an okay bunch of cats. 3 stars, some funny bits.

I had two laughs though, thinking of Brett Gelman's Cats and of the way Tim Heidecker says "Les Misérables" in On Cinema.

I wish you'd tell that to the people at my local.  State of the floor!

They made a whole musical porn film about Furries!

I think the problem with the Rebel Wilson cat is more that it does that horrible intentionally-awkward thing you get in kids' films, where a character does something cringeworthy and that's the whole joke. Like an adult character in a kid's film rapping. Ha ha the character did the song bad and everyone is embarrassed.

On top of that, it is just all horrific. Kinda fascinating with this and Sonic how instant the horror-struck reaction is. Gone are the days when any old shit could pass by unscathed. Huge amounts of time have gone into this, millions upon millions of dollars, months, years, of work, with a large number of very big celebrities involved... it's produced, edited, watched, checked, by a lot of people. Then the trailer comes out, and instantly there's a unanimous 'that is fucking hideous mate'.

Humbling.

Is this the same as the musical...cats? The costumes in that were far superior

If this is motion capture, which it seems to be, it's completely fucking redundant. I can't believe they kept making this and didn't stop to think "is this shit"

The thing which bothers me most about these FUCKING HIDEOUS CRAP MODERN REMAKES is the insistence on shoehorning as much CGI and afterwards-touching-up as they can. Oh no no no, we cant have any dirty, dirty real things in our film  no way no, that still looks like a real thing can't have that

And the fucking state of these cats man the STATE of them. I do not understand what is going on with Jennifer Hudson's character. Her face looks badly photoshopped onto something it should have nothing to do with, like a shitty photoshop meme or something. A lot of times the human faces don't sit right and look like a bad deepfake where the face is kind of in the right place but it keeps shifting about wrongly as the head moves. You know how you could have avoided that lads? Just make up the actors to look like cats instead of painstakingly reproducing their bodies and awkwardly matching their faces up to them. Absolutely shocking. 


Clownbaby

They could have solved a lot of the problem just kind of doing up the cast classic Cats style with little black/pink noses and whiskers. The uncatlike look of their faces is just bizarre. Not even anything cat like about their eyes, it's just Jennifer Hudson's face whacked onto a cat

How much will Taylor Swift appear?

Asking for a friend.

Uncle TechTip

Yeah, I don't see the fuss, I mean it looks completely fucking interminable for me but I feel there's millions out there who will just lap this shit up like Tip-Top from a bowl.

Actually decided this doesn't look too bad.

'You will believe'

IN WHAT? DON'T FUCKING THREATEN ME

BritishHobo

I already fucking believe in cats, I don't need Tom Hooper to convince me. There's one comes mewling at my back door every day even though I know the neighbours give him food

This is bollocks, if they did Heathcliff, The Catillac Cats or even Top Boss Cat this would've been much more entertaining.
