Cats Musical Movie Review
Director Tom Hoopers movie is a huge failure because hes completely abandoned the fundamentals of what made Cats a terrific show.
Cats musical movie review. It is truly like nothing cinema has ever seen. The old-world feel dimly lit set design and rustic vibe are refreshing. Cats brings Andrew Lloyd Webbers hit Broadway musical to the screen and may be the worst movie of the decade.
Movie musical is a total disaster Johnny Oleksinski New York Post. Ignore the Haters Enjoy the Music and Dancing If you liked Cats the musical you will like the film the scathing reviews are just bullies piling on. Right now the Cats movie sits at a dismal 17 on Rotten Tomatoes and its Metacritic score is no better sitting at a very low 31 which signals generally unfavorable reviews Anyway now that the film has been seen by the press here are some of the cattiest reviews collected for your enjoyment.
A great movie musical should organically blend song and dialogue with each complementing the other with the goal of developing the story wherever possible. Cats starring Jennifer Hudson Taylor Swift Judi Dench and Ian McKellen is a movie adaptation of the classic musical but does it work on the big screen. 18 2019 401 pm.
The Movie Review from an Actual Cats. The musical doesnt trust the audience doesnt trust that the dancing in and of itself is exciting enough to hold our interest. Review by Brian Lowry CNN.
Jan 8 2020 5 min read. There are all these dance numbers in Cats and Hooper spends so much time cutting around changing angles flying up to the ceiling manipulating the images. Cats suffers from a problem common in contemporary filmed musicals.
Lumpen meandering and filled with interminable opera-lite sequences Cats is a perfect example of a musical that has failed to stand the test of time. To the extent that Andrew Lloyd Webbers musical has always been more. Sure it might be barely plotless fluff but its well executed barely plotless fluff and doesnt try to pretend to be anything else.
