I really enjoyed it thought the effects were great and was some good humour and fantastic casting. Iris Elba was terrific, sir Ian McClellan was an absolute joy, dame Judy drench was ideal and Jennifer Hudson did a blinding rendition of the showstopping tune. The new song fitted in well and the film was pretty much true to the stage show. If you enjoyed that you'll enjoy the film. If you can't understand a show where humans dress up and dance about pretending to be cats then you won't get the film. The film does exactly what it should: entertains! It's on for just over an hour and a half and well worth the admission to see on the big screen.
