*Crawls out of hole and dusts self off*
I didn't come back just to rant about the new Cats movie, but BOY am I going to take the opportunity to do so!
For background: I love musicals, I'm a dancer, musical theatre is one of my strongest styles, it's very near and dear to me. I've loved Cats for years. It's my dream to be Rumpleteazer.
I saw the trailer and was aghast at the CGI and how the cats looked. Didn't touch it when it came back, didn't keep up with it. I was looking through some Cats stuff from the earlier filmed stageshow version and came across some clips, and oh sweet heavens......
The music? Modernized and most of it is now either ruined or eh.
The cats' personalities? Either completely changed or just ruined. (Also, who's idea was it to genderbend Old Deutoronomy?? Why? And some cats are just completely missing)
The basic plot? (Yes Cats has a plot) From what I could see?? It was changed for no good reason.
I had to click off Rum Tum Tugger's intro early because I was so disgusted and Mr. Mistoffelee's was so bad I just sat through it, horrified, unable to click away.
I will say, as a point in the 2019 movie's favor (The ONLY point, mind you) was that they mostly kept Skimbleshanks' song intact. They even added a tap scene, which is fun and really does fit his intro. It DID unfortunately get a little modernized but it's not half bad with the added tap (which is actual tap, no less.)
Here was me thinking that people were hating Cats because of the horrid CGI, but nope. I was mistaken. It's terrible. Do not recommend. Watch the recorded musical and enjoy it. If you've never seen the musical I guess I can see how you'd enjoy the movie??
TL;DR: 2019 Cats is horrible and a let down in many, many ways, not just the appearance.
