Cats is beyond loving terrible. We turned it off about 15 minutes.

JENNICKLES or however the gently caress you spell it.

Seems like this came out in China a year ago, but I just got a YouTube ad of it

Oh I didn't notice this one didn't have the English title, The Eight Hundred. Probably it was pretty huge and the theatrical run got cut off, so they wanted to do a big Australasian re-release

On a sidenote, I have still not seen Cats and i'm not even sure I want to watch it when it's on pay cable.

Is it one of those movies where "It's so bad, it's good, but it's also so bad" and it must be seen to be believed?

I saw it and I don't believe it. I listened to a podcast where they said that we now have to stop hiring any actor who was in Cats as payback, and I kind of agree. "Sorry, Ian McKellan, you had a good run. But then you were in Cats, and I can't forgive that."

It may be the worst movie I've ever seen. It's surprisingly bad. Though, full disclosure, I had never seen any form of the play before, so it may have always been this loving weird and I just never knew it. My main takeaway was, "That was Cats?!" People I know who have seen the play have told me, "Well, yes and no."

Idris Elba...why can you not get better roles? What the gently caress is happening?

That's actually the exact podcast I was referring to, and was the only reason I watched it as well. I should have given them credit.

I saw Cats three times in the theaters. You have to see the original human hands version. Of course it is terrible and makes zero sense. You're watching it wrong. Think of it as a police chase and then get drunk



edit: we thought the version we saw was the one that had crazy snot coming out of Jennifer Hudson's nose and then found out the newer version added more. I am astounded by the decision to have a running river of snot coming out of her nose the entire movie.


edit 2: the hilarious CGI of both the roaches and the rail cats inexplicably in sneakers has to be seen to be believed

It was supposed to be released last year, but it was one of many Chinese films that were put on hold due to "technical issues" by the new censorship board. It got released this month.

I'm glad Cats exists because these sorts of fiascos just aren't a thing anymore. Studios are so risk averse and everything is a superhero movie, a sequel or a remake these days so to see someone go all out and spend $100+ million and produce THIS is nothing short of astounding to me.

I'm probably never going to WATCH Cats but I'm glad it exists.

I went to see Cats in theaters because I wanted to see that type of fiasco and walked out and got a refund during James Corden's number. The last movie I paid to see and left early was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I'd try to watch that again before attempting Cats for a 2nd time.

It never stops.

Cats is magnificent. It really feels like every choice that was made on that film was the worst choice to make.

Whoever decide to make the ears and tails behave like super realistic, twitchy-rear end cat ears and tails deserves an award.

Weren't there some allegations made about McG? I tried Googling it, but I guess it's a quirk of where I am, because I keep getting stuff about the Melbourne Cricket Ground instead.

It is possible. I could've sworn I heard McG's name in the context of abuse allegations or something, but I may have misremembered.

You really don't. It's way more boring than that trailer would have you believe. I remember renting it from Blockbuster back in the day with my brothers, being super excited, as big Mortal Kombat and Highlander fans, and this movie somehow made us into no longer fans of either of those franchises. It's just so...dull. Post apocalyptic Beowulf with Connor MacLeod facing off against the Predator should have ruled. It really did not.

I'd rather rewatch the Lambert Highlander sequels than this. Any of them. And those are terrible movies.

Watch this one instead - it's very cool. I even bought the drat thing on DVD.

E: The movie is not a cheesy action flick like this trailer shows it to be. It's much slower paced and atmospheric.

It wasn’t. I remember seeing that in the theaters with some friends for my birthday. I ended up apologizing at least 4 times for subjecting them to this, once during the film itself (during the “Beowulf runs around naked fighting Grendel while a bunch of objects block his junk” scene)

yeah it truly is very bad. i rented it with some friends, i dont remember whether it was based on a preroll vhs trailer or just the box cover.

sadly it was garbage. the only way it could be okay if you & your friends are all hosed up and turn it into an mst3k-style riff fest while watching a better movie instead

Lambowulf is stupid and fun, it has post-apocalyptic knights with chainswords and a whole lot of nudity, I recommend it.
3dwulf would be amazing in live action - the cast is great, the whole movie is made with a lot of love, but the CGI is terrible. It's still very watchable unless you're a joyless Cinemasins-watching lump.
