Ever thought you’d found the worst film in existence, well you were wrong. It’s this.

What?! I'll be honest, I didn't like the musical back in the 90s, I thought it was just plain awful and kind of pretentious. But the good news is that this is so much worse. Even Dame Judy Dench doesn't seem to be able to find a footing, and she's a Dame for a reason, she's probably one of the greatest living actresses on the face of the earth... and Cats makes her look utterly incompetent.…

I don't understand why people reviewed this so badly. Minus James Corden this was a very amusing take on a musical I have always loved. Ian McKellen shined as Gus. Jennifer Hudson made me cry as Grizabella. Idris Elba was purr-fect as Macavity. Judy Dench was the perfect choice for Old Deuteronomy. The cast was really good, save for James Corden who grossed me out eating like a pig and hitting wrong notes.

Theatrical plays or musicals will not always translate well into filmic language, that's well known and will not change, because both media are very different by nature. To question it is to deceive yourself. Personally I've never believed that Cats is a great musical but perhaps its success says something else but even so a film adaptation in my view just could not work.…

I was always excited for ‘Cats’, and to learn about it as a musical fan. The first trailer made me more excited, because seeing those god-awful effects only made me want to see it more. I always get excited for big-budget musicals because it means we could get more, but ‘Cats’ just fails on every level. It’s a boring musical with forgettable songs and uninteresting choreography...…
