@@Rashy225 you are telling me that this CGI creep first is worse The Lion King. Have you seen cat cats triggers you emotionally in a way you never thought of you needed to be triggered. I didn't like cats before I watch the movie now I have a phobia of cats that's how bad it is. I had a mini panic attack whilst watching rebel eat a cockroach with a baby face on it
I’m an old school cats fan. Saw it on broadways when it was 15 years into it’s run. It doesn’t have a story. It’s for people who enjoy singing and dancing. That’s it. The lyrics are based on poetry by T.S. Elliot, and it can be clever but not meant to be serious. The original performances were brilliant, even if you don’t like the material, and that’s what made the show a hit. People singing and dancing well, all while dressed as cats. The oddity of it made it a must see for tourists, hence the long run. That said, this movie should have never been made. Cats should not be a movie. It’s a monstrosity and a crime against humanity.
I'm really belated on this, but Sideways (a musical person on YT) had a really interesting take on this. He said, "CATS [the stage production] is successful because it's 90% spectacle and lycra. But if you pay attention, there's actually a story... it's just being told backwards from the point of view of the antagonists. This is what it would look like if you spent an entire Mario game inside Bowser's Castle. Things would be really repetitive and weird, right up until the last 15 minutes, when all the action happened." The story is this: Grizabella was kicked out of the Jellicle cats, long ago, for some unknown reason. She's really lonely, desperate to be accepted back into the Jellicle cats and just be touched again. The younger cats are curious about her and wanting to touch her and find out about her, but the older cats always stop them and hiss at her to go away. She sings Memory in a desperate attempt to get back into the group. Old Deuteronomy hears her and wants to accept her, but he can't without the acceptance of the rest of the group. Jemima hears this and sings to the tune of memory, signalling to the audience that Grizabella would be perfect for the Heavyside Lair. Then, in the second act, after a lot of stuff, Grizabella comes back, is rejected again, sings Memory again in a desperate attempt to get the others to accept her, and a RANDOM CAT (named Victoria) goes to touch her... and this time, nobody stops her! Therefore, the entire group accepts her again. She's happy now, and then Old Deuteronomy selects her to be reborn. That's the story amid all the spectacle. I haven't seen the movie (and don't particularly intend to), but I kind of get the impression that this all went over Hooper's head?
My 4 year old niece's whiskers I drew on her with eyeliner for Halloween looked better than the Cats movie. Even after she accidentally smeared them with her mittens. The Cats trailer scared her so much the first time she saw it that she slept with her bedroom door closed for the first time in her life to keep her cat out. She's over that now, but it was really sad.
Harold Prince, the late directing giant of Broadway, was attached to direct this musical as it premiered on Broadway. When he asked Webber what the musical’s metaphorical meaning was, he got the (paraphrased) answer: “it’s about cats.” Prince dropped out of the project.
I don't understand why the filmakers decided to make the characters look like werecats. If this was a more cartoony animated movie it would probably be less creepy.
Funny you should say that because at one point Stephen Spielberg (I think it was him, I can't quite remember) wanted to make an animated adaptation of Cats, except they wouldn't be anthropomorphic. Think of it like the aristocats do 'Cats'
Sadly the “plot” of this movie version is more than the stage play ever had. The stage play was all introduce a new cat and sing and dance repeat . It was a huge hit due to the dancing and the fact some of the cats came out of the audience and the audience got some interaction like blue man group .
Not sure about each stage performance, but the 1998 DVD version did show a plot, if you pay attention to background details during the songs. Grizabella always being shunned, each time she shows up, before becoming the chosen one is the main plot, but there is also the side plot, of Mistoffelees, embarrassing himself at the beginning of Jennyanydots' song, and being teased about it by the kittens, and then having his performance during the moon dance cut off by Bombalurina later, until Rum Tum Tugger carries her away, so he can finish, and later finally getting the admiration and respect he deserves (after Rum Tum Tugger asks the others not to scoff, but give him a chance), after saving Deuteronomy.
The experience and simplicity is what made it work. They knew the premise was silly so they didn’t try to over explain it. It’s cat’s having a party and there’s a sad one.The movie didn’t have good music, good dance and tried to find a story in it in cats having a party and there ‘s a sad one 😅
Corey looks like an actual fucking cat, why couldn't they use practical costumes like in the original musical? Some of the sets were practical sets, it would have been so cool if they used the same type of costume design from the play, along with the practical sets it would have looked so awesome to see something where the characters arent completely cgi in a live action world. Instead we got those.....things....😿
I watched the movie last night. I still can't comprehend what I saw. My girlfriend had a mini panic attack after we got home about how she can't get the movie out of her mind. It was so weird.
"Yeeeeeaaaaaah!"- Jason Derulo Edit: I've said it on their trailer reaction video but I honestly do feel sorry for the newcomer actress that starred in this.
Im confused on how literally nobody asked for this movie but they desided to waist $95 million on it anyway when they could've spend that $95m on something meaningful like idk Flint Michigan water crisis or homeless people maybe...
Because they wanted to take this name that everyone knows, but didn't do any research into WHY people liked it and made something based on what they knew on the surface. Essentially the same mindset that makes video game movies fail, mixed with the firm belief that spending more money on a thing automatically makes it better.
For being 4 years old it stills makes me relax hearing your out take always never gets old thank you guys my go to when having rough time you always makes me laugh smile better then any therapist
@@shaunaray1 Funny...the voice actor of that alligator (Ken Page) played Old Deuteronomy in the original Broadway production of Cats. He was also Oogie Boogie in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Cats is 2+ hours of cats singing song after song after song after song about what sort of cats they are. They do so because they're trying to impress a mangy old cat called Old Deuteronomy, who gets to pick which one of them mercifully gets put down at the end. Unfortunately, virtually every song is totally forgettable, except "Memory," which can be pleasant enough if performed well and gag-inducing if the singer tearfully blubs their way through it.
I seen the improved vfx version and there is still problems with it however, a lot of the floating faces has been fixed. However, its still horrifying to see mice and cockroaches with human faces get eaten by rebel Wilson.
My god Korey! I forgot about that movie! But all I can say about your cat Stormtrooper cosplay is MEOW! I think you’d look even cooler if u wore a shirt from DTMerch.com!
16:22 Judi Dench is a singer though. She did musicals like Cabaret on the west end in the 60s-70s and continues to sing. Her voice isn't as strong as it used to be though, so I don't know how she does in this yet
About the sexuality of the play: T. S. Eliot actually turned down Disney, when they asked for the rights to the poems, because he didn't want child friendly, cutesy kitty cats. Disney then made Aristocats instead. When Webber asked Eliot's widow for the rights, she told him about that, and Webber said "oh, I was thinking more along the line of Hot Gossip" (a pretty raunchy stage show at the time), and Mrs. Eliot said "oh, yes, I think he would've liked that" and gave Webber the rights.
It's nice to see a review that actually brings up important points and offers real criticism instead of just saying how weird this is over and over again.
When I was a lil kid Cats the musical commercial use to scare me shit out of me ! It took like 2 yes to get over it . I never understood why ppl like it and went on so long ,I had chance to go see Cats but I decided to not go back in 1997
I've figured out why it looks so creepy. It's the the noses mostly. The Human noses. Cory having a drawn on cat nose looks fine. In fact he make for a rather handsome cat. If they had made the faces more cat like, it might have worked better visually. Instead they tried to bank on the recognizablity of the actors instead.
Looking at those concepts it leaves me angry that we were denied a traditionally animated adaptation. With cats that looked like descent enough cats !!!
In the stage play, it is super implied that they are not from Earth and are competing for a way home. Grizabella is even taken up to the Heaviside Layer by a flying saucer with a literal green beam of light. I now always think of the storyline as aliens auditioning to go home.
😣The hell with Cats! My ex talked me into taking her to the damn Broadway play. . .and as I said, my EX!! After 10mins of that shite I tried eating my own head!!
I walked out of the cinema and passed a guy who just saw Cats! ‘Everything was bad, absolutely everything’, he said to a friend. I don’t mind the golden fangs, 2 cats wearing sneakers, songs being cut short, Rebel Wilson spreading her legs, all the bad characters or hooker being played by black people, the bad CGI that makes feet disappear in the floor…, all the sickled feet, the flexed feet or bent knees when they should be straight, not 1 grand jeté at 180 degrees… OK, I DO MIND!! I understand they wanted to create a ‘up to date’ version of this dance musical but pointing feet and straightening legs will NEVER go out of style. And why show the real dancing halfway through the musical? Up until then you will see a lot of close ups and isolations (leg, arm, arm, head) or slow motion jumps. Director Tom Hooper doesn’t know how to shoot dance. Now, this ‘star’ cast is in search for a star. Rebel Wilson can’t sing and act this part, James Cordon plays James Cordon, Jason Derulo was supposed to play a tough guy but he chose to run around like a riffing Christina Aguilera, Judi Dench can’t sing this part and has to change keys to make it work, Taylor Swift can’t act, Francesca Hayward has a very small and pitchy voice and sounds like she just started voice classes. Jennifer Hudson, who was supposed to play the lead, can’t really act and only has one voice: it’s loud. Now, thank God for Ian McKellen. He was wonderful in his version of Gus. In this supporting role he is the true star of the movie. Director Tom Hooper must be proud to fuck up one of the longest running Broadway shows.
They’re all Jellicle cats, and this is the Jellicle Ball where they compete to be chosen by Old Deuteronomy so they can go to the Heaviside Layer and be reincarnated into their best selves.
Judi Dench isn't someone we think of as a singer today but 40 some years ago she was, if memory serves, the lead (Sally Bowles) the in London production of Caberet
If you guys didn't know Cats was taken off Broadway for a while and now there is a new Cats show on Broadway today. All new music though the Cats show is different from the one in the 80s. NOT sure what they chose for the movie though. Also the dancing for the new Cats is more family friendly. I believe most of the music would be new for the movie not taken from the play since there is a new story line.
@@MsSphinx91 I was a kid as well. I'm basing it off of what Martin and Corey are saying since they saw it and they did show a clip. Looking at the clip seemed a little sexual...but the dancing also looked very 80s style and the Cats on Broadway today doesn't look the same at all. I guess a more modern take. (I was slightly disappointed me and my mom saw it together and I wondered why it looked like a different show even from the commercials in the 90s. )

If CATS is a horror film, then it's this decades version of The Garbage Pale Kids.
I was afraid of them when I was younger....shit I'm still afraid!

Jennifer hudson looking like the werewolf from thriller 😭😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 she was terrible..n her acting was shit
Cats is meant to have no story. It is a salute musical to a book of kids poems by T.S. Eliot.

Korey should do a cameo at Marvel wearing the cat costume 😂
Korey making salient points while in costume is hilarious
I walked out of the cinema and passed a guy who just saw Cats! ‘Everything was bad, absolutely everything’, he said to a friend.
I don’t mind the golden fangs, 2 cats wearing sneakers, songs being cut short, Rebel Wilson spreading her legs, all the bad characters or hooker being played by black people, the bad CGI that makes feet disappear in the floor…, all the sickled feet, the flexed feet or bent knees when they should be straight, not 1 grand jeté at 180 degrees… OK, I DO MIND!!
I understand they wanted to create a ‘up to date’ version of this dance musical but pointing feet and straightening legs will NEVER go out of style. And why show the real dancing halfway through the musical? Up until then you will see a lot of close ups and isolations (leg, arm, arm, head) or slow motion jumps. Director Tom Hooper doesn’t know how to shoot dance.
Now, this ‘star’ cast is in search for a star. Rebel Wilson can’t sing and act this part, James Cordon plays James Cordon, Jason Derulo was supposed to play a tough guy but he chose to run around like a riffing Christina Aguilera, Judi Dench can’t sing this part and has to change keys to make it work, Taylor Swift can’t act, Francesca Hayward has a very small and pitchy voice and sounds like she just started voice classes. Jennifer Hudson, who was supposed to play the lead, can’t really act and only has one voice: it’s loud. Now, thank God for Ian McKellen. He was wonderful in his version of Gus. In this supporting role he is the true star of the movie.
Director Tom Hooper must be proud to fuck up one of the longest running Broadway shows.
When I saw the tag and picture of Corey dress like a werecat Stormtrooper I was like I'm in!!!!!@
They’re all Jellicle cats, and this is the Jellicle Ball where they compete to be chosen by Old Deuteronomy so they can go to the Heaviside Layer and be reincarnated into their best selves.
Why is Corey dressed like a Storm troop 🐈? Lol
He's dreesed like that cat chick in Rick N Morty
We reviewed both Cats and Star Wars on the same night ;)
He’s a mat, half man, half cat. A mat.
They're cats now?!
Because both movies were released on the same day.
Judi Dench isn't someone we think of as a singer today but 40 some years ago she was, if memory serves, the lead (Sally Bowles) the in London production of Caberet
She was going to be in the orginal cast, as the cat who sings memory. But She had to drop out due to a bad foot injury.
I didn't realise Cats was a cult in a back alley.
If you guys didn't know Cats was taken off Broadway for a while and now there is a new Cats show on Broadway today. All new music though the Cats show is different from the one in the 80s. NOT sure what they chose for the movie though. Also the dancing for the new Cats is more family friendly. I believe most of the music would be new for the movie not taken from the play since there is a new story line.
Was the dancing in the old Cats risqué? I don't remember much from it, because I was a kid at the time. I just remember thinking it was boring.
@@MsSphinx91 I was a kid as well. I'm basing it off of what Martin and Corey are saying since they saw it and they did show a clip. Looking at the clip seemed a little sexual...but the dancing also looked very 80s style and the Cats on Broadway today doesn't look the same at all. I guess a more modern take. (I was slightly disappointed me and my mom saw it together and I wondered why it looked like a different show even from the commercials in the 90s. )
Why does Korey look like a panda wearing a stormtrooper suit?
I gotta admit that Korey makes an adorable cat.
"You aint seen the shit we've seen."
Hahaha. Awesome tagline.
