It's a rubbish film and worst movie I have seen recently. Embargo had expected the worst from the film before it opened. I have to start off by saying that the trailers are horrific and the designs were the same the second trailer dropped in November. If you look at Sonic movie, the first trailer wasn't any good, but then in order to get the best design of Sonic, Paramount delayed the release date until this Friday in the best move and when the second trailer, I thought the design of Sonic was better than what we had in the first trailer and Universal didn't make Cats in following the steps of redesigns as Paramount did with their Sonic movie. I went to see it, want good stuff, well Judi Dench and Ian McKellen are the best things in it, I hated the CGI and the plot is all over the place and it makes no sense and all of the songs are really useless despite the fact that the songs have created a huge fans over the years. I think Tom Hooper isn't the right person to take it on. I was thinking that Baz Luhrmann version with better actors like Hugh Jackman and Judi Dench and Ian McKellen or a Pixar or Laika version because I think all three would have worked for me when seeing the performers in animated or Australian musical costumes than the horrible CGI costuming. The edits are all over the shop. The choreography in the musical is fine (even though I haven't seen it) because it is a well choreographed show, but the film does not know where it's going. Dance numbers came and went. The scale is weirdest at its worst. The cats are not cats, they are dogs or mouses or chimpanzees. They never look like cats. As a result of that, it's one of the most strange things I have ever seen in my life. I never laughed (although I saw it at the start of 2020 where some did laugh). I didn't cry at all. I was bored and I left out halfway through. The cast don't get favors from it. CGI costuming is a mistake. Tom Hooper's direction and script he co-wrote with Lee Hall is terrible and it won't follow the footsteps of the Greatest Showman which took enough money to earn its recognition. The truth is this: the worst thing about the film is that it should exist on any level and nothing in that or any particular reason could either redeem the film or explain its existence.
