[Seth C]

Probably depends how many children review it.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Put me down for 37

 

[Dead]

I predict a 3% rating

 

[heavy liquid]

Put me down for 12%, with one positive review from the "cream of the crop".

 

[RedDwarf]

6%.

 

[Meier]

If we're guessing percentages, I'm going with 2% and a 18 on metacritic.

 

[xsarien]

Eh, shit like this always gets at least one good review. It's usually from some podunk paper that's either looking for free advertising in a movie ad, someone's who's been greased enough by the studio, or just general idiocy coupled with an affinity for generic "family" movies like this one will inevitably be.

But I'm not jaded. Really.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

i'm still shocked that someone even allowed this to be made

 

[Boogie]

Put me down for 37

I demand that this poser get his username changed.

I'm going to see this movie. I love cats.

I have a cat.

 

[xsarien]

I'm going to see this movie. I love cats.

I have a cat.

I like the occasional piece of greasy fast food, doesn't mean I saw Goodburger.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

I'm going to see this movie. I love cats.

I have a cat.

cats are awesome. i have 3 cats. but i don't think i can handle watching a fat CGI cat and a real dog dancing to a black eyed peas song in a dancing sequence.

oh who am i kidding - i know i'll end up seeing this movie eventually

 

[Belfast]

I'm going to see this movie. I love cats.

I have a cat.

That's some Sherlock-calibre reasoning if I've ever seen it!

 

[shoplifter]

Jim Davis should be ashamed that he's let Garfield sink as far as it has over the last 15 years.

 

[Wolfy]

I like the occasional piece of greasy fast food, doesn't mean I saw Goodburger.

I really like cats. I saw Goodburger too. I like burgers. In fact, I had one tonight. It's combatting my workouts but oh well.

 

[BoboBrazil]

As a kid's movie this looks decent. As a movie based on the Garfield license it looks like shit. I don't think it will be that bad for a kid's movie if you ignore that it is supposed to be Garfield.

 

[shoplifter]

GOGGLES




NOTHING

 

[MoxManiac]

Oh god, that's what Garfield looks like in the movie? What the fuck? If I was a child going to see this i'd have nightmares afterwards for years.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

moxmaniac : i think he's compressed against a window

either way - he looks pretty scary
especially on the movie poster where he looks like a conehead

 

[sc0la]

GOGGLES




NOTHING

LOL so reduced.

 

[xsarien]

The only good thing about this movie is that it makes IMDB-loving trivia heads swoon.

 

[Rabid Wolverine]

Garfield should have been left to comics and cartoons.

Hell id see it if if JLH flashes.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

29%

 

[jenov4]

Maddox summarized it best. Garfield SUCKS! I say a 4% rating.

 

[ohamsie]

I heard Odie wasn't even in this, is this true?

I'm laughing at the idea that Odie has too much dignity to take part in this movie. They shoud incorporate THAT into the comic strip.

 

[Meier]

Odie is in it but is a real dog,

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Jim Davis should be ashamed that he's let Garfield sink as far as it has over the last 15 years.

I'm not sure how to react to this since Davis has always and always will suck, but he should indeed be ashamed.

 

[shoplifter]

OK, yes he does suck and always has. But comparing VERY old-school Garfield to today's shit....

 

[Musashi Wins!]

OK, yes he does suck and always has. But comparing VERY old-school Garfield to today's shit....

Point taken...though we can't ever have expected honor, decency or taste from the man.

 

[Matlock]

Davis is living proof that yes, you can sell out completely. Garfield has become a laugh a day for the obese and petty who think "hey, that cat does what I'd do, if I could get out of bed."

We've far passed the glory days of comic strips (the 80's), and there's just not much out there that can replace it. Out of the newer load of 'em, there's approximately three that show a lot of promise.

1. Foxtrot connects directly to geek culture, a plus. Hopefully it doesn't go the Dilbert route and become too cynical for its own good.
2. Pooch Cafe makes talking animals funny. Sure, there's no real point, but at least it's not Garfield.
3. Zits. Teenagers are always funny! ALWAYS! Well, maybe not, but eh.

This is why I hug my Complete Far Side at night, guys. This is exactly why.

 

[Bregor]

With one positive review, it's currently at 11%:

[belgurdo]

Didn't Bill Watterson goof on him once for making such bland stuff?


And what the hell happened to US Acres? That at least hit the "funny" average more times than Garfield.

 

[Prince of Space]

Did I just read the JOEL COEN co-wrote this? What. The. Fuck...

 

[RedDwarf]

Different Joel Cohen if you're thinking Cohen brothers. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0169505/

Just so you know, Fox Trot is not even close to new. It's 16 years old.

 

[shoplifter]

With one positive review, it's currently at 11%:

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/Garfield-1133038/

and it's really not THAT positive.

And while Garfield isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, it doesn't completely suck either - thanks primarily to Alec Sokolow and Joel Coen's script and Bill Murray's voice work.

 

[bob_arctor]

You're telling me no one here will pay 10 bucks to see her pussy?

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

So god damn hot. I'll go see it just for her.

 

[Prince of Space]

Different Joel Cohen if you're thinking Cohen brothers. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0169505/

ah, whew.

 

[Dead]

Please tell me my eyes have failed me....

...did someone in this thread insult Good Burger?

a modern masterpiece of filmmaking if ever there was one

respect.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Bill Murray will save this movie.

What have they done to odie?
