good movie but the sound quality is very poor. had to turn the volume way up and it was still very hard to hear.

What's the point?, 2010-07-26
I barely remember any of this except for Memories and 'The Rum Tum Tugger is a Curious Cat!' It's a stupid musical. People parading in costumes dancing on stage? And then they make it into a movie? Not memorable at all. Who ever thought this was a good idea?

I tried to like it!, 2010-07-08
I love cats, T.S. Eliot, Broadway musicals and a lot of Andrew Lloyd Weber's work. So, I had great expectations for this, especially when someone told me recently how much she and her whole family adored it! br /So...I wondered what was wrong with me when I just didn't get into it. I kept thinking it would get better but finally I stopped trying. br / br /I didn't see the original on stage so maybe that's the problem. Here I'm just offering my opinion, for whatever it's worth. I thought the concept was very clever---who would have thought to make a musical from Eliot's work? Well, perhaps it there had been English subtitles so I could have read the words which were unintelligible to me I would have liked it better. br / br /My main complaint was how visually unpleasant it was! I just didn't find the sight of people dressed up as cats with hideous makeup very watchable. I'm trying not to say hideous or grotesque....but that's how I saw them. The costumes were ugly, the colors were ugly. There was nothing warm or inviting or beautiful about the whole thing. The music didn't grab me either. Maybe it got better later but I didn't want to bother sitting through any more of it to find out. br / br /

Unwatchable. Dreadful. Boring beyond belief. Maybe on stage it was fine, but as a video "movie," it is horrifyingly stupid. Hyper-kinetic editing stuffed with closeups that make one aware of actors made up cutesy to look like cats who act like humans when they appear in musicals. The concept is nuts. Eliot's poems are inflated and robbed of all charm. Do not waste your money. The Cats phenomenon, whatever it once meant, is now a thing a thing of the past. Maybe Eliot will get his book back.
