- These are the top 10 reasons why 2019's "Cats" is the WORST. For this list, we’re taking a look at why the cinematic version of “Cats” is a shoddily made, borderline incoherent mess of a movie, and why "Cats" is the worst movie of 2019.
We acknowledge that this is destined to become a “so bad, it’s good” cult classic, but that’s clearly not what the filmmakers or studio had intended. From its creepiness, to its annoying songs, to its complete absence of a plot, there are too many reasons to count why "Cats" is one of the worst movies of the year. What's your least favorite movie of the year? Let us know in the comments below!

Did Cats have any redeeming qualities? Let us know....
Nope. Not at all. You made this video.
Im offended you'd ask
None
Watch, "Silly Cat" by Brandon Rogers it's a lot better.
@@katzekii5715 this movie looks bad
There are plays/musicals that are not meant to be interpreted in film.
Adrian Spencer Elizalde I’ll agree with that and add that I wish the play itself hadn’t been made, either. I saw the musical live last year and was so confused and dissatisfied.
Cats sucked as a musical, too.
I’d argue that cats is a bad play too. The story is just not good in my opinion
Eh too me it wasn’t bad but that’s just me ig
They should have just made this a filmed TV musical special like they did with Grease, Hairspray, and Jesus Christ Superstar.
CATS is a reason Disney should never remake Aristocats
They already did Lady and the Tramp...
Please, don’t give them ideas...

Lmfao that's gold
Oof
Ricky
Yes, this is what Ricky Gervais said during his monologue.
jon doe knives out was a great movie what are you talkin about
The reason the orignal cats movie was done in the theater style was because the film makers didn’t think it would translate well to an all film-based story. They purposefully kept it as a theatrical musical. They were given the option to redo it so it had a storyline but they felt it took away from both the ts Eliot’s poems and Webber’s music
First The Emoji Movie, now Cats. James Corden just can’t catch a break.
Lila Brock sad because he is a funny guy
He should just stick with his late shows
He should probably fire his agent who keeps putting him in these cinematic disasters.
Hahahhaa
Lila Brock Well he has no talent and he’s not funny so he’ll always be a C list actor
One critic even called it "Battlefield Earth with whiskers."
Omg that’s horrible 😂
@Connor Stevens the emoji movie isnt bad. Its just average. An average movie. Its enjoyable.
Oh sheet
@@OrphanJupiter Nope. The Emoji Movie was totally bad.

Halle Berry is probably happy that her catlike performance in CATWOMAN is now a distant MEMORY and now she’s officially off the hook
Only difference is that I would marry Halle berry

Watching Halle Berry in that S&M cat costume will refresh everyone's memory after watching the trailer of Cats.

Jellicle Cats was T.S. Eliot's little niece's childish way if pronouncing 'dear little cats'.
Awwwwww. Well that makes sense
Is it a Jellicle cat or an Jellicle cat?
It was his god son, Thomas Faber, and his pronunciation of "dear little" cats and "poor little" dogs (pollicle dogs)
Cats is a prime example of how out of touch Hollywood is with audiences.
This movie is just more proof that whatever gets on Broadway, stays on Broadway.
CATS: "YOU'RE INVITED!"
Everyone: "...we're busy that day.."
Cats: "we didn't say which day "
Everyone:" yeah we're busy"
Ha. So true. Lol.
Me: oh no thank you, I just remembered that I had an appointment to get my cats spayed and neutered (gotta make sure there can’t be another one like this)

I recently rewatched the 1998 film of Cats where they all performed in costume. I don’t get why they just didn’t do something similar for this film. Why did they have to try and deviate from the plot so much???
if you had actually watched cats 1998 you would know that it doesn't have a plot in the slightest
@@AmericaJonesiepipes uhm it does?! The main plot is to go to the heaviside layer... Munkustrap literally explains the plot to the audience!!!! Seems to me like you didn't watch the musical...
@@Ravewave126 uh , yes I did . A plot is not simply explaining to the audience that things are going to happen and then end . That is just a narrative with zero subtext or meaning . The characters do not have a chance to develop nor did I care what happened to them as a consequence. Maybe there exists some metaphor but it’s so so vague ,that I wouldn’t call it a plot line that was anywhere near complete.
@@AmericaJonesiepipes Cats does have a plot. The Jellicle cats prepare for the Jellicle Ball where Old Deuteronomy (basically the Jesus of the Cats world) picks a cat to go to the Heaviside Layer. We then go through some cats who are showing themselves to try to be worthy enough to be chosen as the Jellicle choice. During this, Grizzebella is being shunned and rejected by the rest of the cast and tries to be accepted throughout the entire show. Most of this is explained in the beginning and it's kinda clear when watching it.
@@natalollipop_art basically, one must extrapolate the whole “Jesus” plot out of nothing . The play is based after a poem , which btw also does not explain wtf a jellical cat is . Excuse me if I spelled that wrong , though idc because it’s not a real thing . At least whenTim Burton adapted a poem into a feature length film we ended up with A Nightmare Before Christmas .compare the two , one is a complete story with an intact plot while the other clearly is not .
I think the biggest change they made in the film is that they made the Jellicle Choice into a contest. I believe the reason is that in the broadway show,the idea of being picked to be reincarnated has made the Jellicle Cats seem like a cult.
Here's the real reason: an average animated movie takes 4 to 7 years to complete. This movie took less than a year.
Argonian Tuncboyacıyan
if its that much hard work the design and the stuff in the movie is still not good in my opinion.
Yeah, this movie was definitely rushed. Hermione looked better as a cat than these people.
Cap
Argonian Tunchovacian ur right wich means they probably didn't put alot of effort into this film
KittyPooComedy Honey, Titanic didn’t have cgi demon cats. I honestly thought the dancing and sets were fun and inventive. It’s just REALLY hard to get past such unredeemable cgi. It actually sucks for the artists that are getting bashed for working on it. It’s not their fault the movie was so rushed, and therefore incomplete.
Having famous cast not guarantee a successful movie.

My wife dragged me to this because of her nostalgia of seeing Cats on Broadway when she was 11. It was creepy as f*ck and we walked about 30 minutes into it. We both hated and it just felt cringey. I told her it was a bad idea to see it. For me, the best part of the movie, however, was the previews. We went and saw 1917 as a result a couple of weeks later. You know it's a bad movie when you are thankful you made it in time to catch the previews.
How was that?
B Sharp Yeah, how is 1917?
How the hell did CATS manage to be PG?
@@rebekahwolkiewicz449 can confirm 1917 is amazing
@@liberpolo5540 IDK, but on the same breath, how tf was Jaws (1975) rated PG?
It’s crazy because I love the opening number in the 1998 version. It’s so catchy and just perfectly done. The movie on the other hand............
The real question is: Was "Cats" the Broadway musical play good?
Karen From Finasse Way better than the movie
I liked it a lot. It's not really a play, though. It's more of a cabaret -- different acts put on by the different cat characters with only a VERY loose through-line running through the whole show.
I actually preformed it in HS. It serves better as a musical than a feature film. In a musical your prefomance is based completely around the song and it’s transitioning from one to the next, instead of the film where you need to have time for exposition.
The Broadway production was great. This farce of a movie was a piece of garbage
The stage play is so much fun and interactive live.
To be honest do we need a reason why this movies sucks
Because its bad in every way.
Exactly! Just having eyesight is enough reason for this movie to suck!!! 😩🙈
Just seeing the title I immediately thought “can we just say everything and never look nor even talk about this again, by eyes would be vomiting if they could,” like this if you agree
No, but it helps!
@@BeautifulSoul5782 even Helen Keller would have been able to see and hear how bad this movie sucked the hind teat of the sow.
This makes 2003’s, “The Cat in the Hat” look like a masterpiece.
@Big Guy’s 45’s, At least Cat in the Hat had no CGI abominations. And this is coming from the same studio that had Mike Myers self advertising Universal Studios in a Universal movie! XD
Because it is
it is a masterpiece
well, it is
Bailey Rickman no
Taylor was there for only 5 min. And this they made it all about her like she was there for 5 min what could have she done that all are pointing fingers at her.
Some musicals just aren’t meant for the screen. Tom Hooper couldn’t even get Les Mis right. What did they expect to happen here?
That's why I only saw the original Les Mis from the 90's. Far better.
Les Miserable was fine and decent (excluding the horrific singing from Russell Crowe).
Clearly, Tom Hooper dropped the ball for Cats and it was awful.
Watchmojo: this film sexualises cats

When Taylor Swift sang "I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams", is this what she meant?

A musical stage production doesn't necessarily need a tight plot because if the live performances ie, the songs, music and dancing, are done right, then you can have an amazing musical revue with just the thinnest thread of a plot tying the numbers together. However, a film is a little bit different and music and dancing doesn't always translate or "come through" with the same power as when done on stage. And that's assuming all things are equal and that the movie's performances are at least close to as good as the live show's, but in this case, the most of songs are weak , watered down versions that dont compare to those in the original live show's. So before we even factor in the creepy CGI, the film was already had several strikes against it.
This movie would be amazing! If it was a animated film.
But less intresting
Yes.
Animated films are overrated everyone wants real-life movies now a days
Nah the songs still suck
You're out of your mind. This movie is terrible and it's a travesty.
This movie looks like one of Garfield’s fever dreams.
Caused by food poisoning through eating spoiled lasagna
Probably the best description of it I've heard yet.
Or Andrew Lloyd Webber’s fever dream
“So bad it’s good”?
More like “So bad it’s terrible”!
Obviously!

Ya. Don't you guys dare to compare it with the room
@Javien Ceasar oh no we definitely do. It's just a horrible movie and it could be so much better than what it was.
Ah, had to cash in on the Cats-bashing trend while the movie’s still in theaters, so you could only use the footage from the trailers over...and over...and over again.
i bash it because it is a mediocre musical to begin with.
Cats makes Dragon Ball Evolution and The Last Airbender tolerable for me.
yes and even more so the league of extraordinary gentlemen.
🐱 what do you want 🔥 hot water
As well as Catwoman, Battlefield Earth, and Dark Phoenix.
This film was not so JELLICLE at all, it ruined James Corden's career.
it's a shame that one of the most popular and longest running musicals in the world had to receive this kind of live-action treatment
Wow, I didn't realize that was what they were trying to do! It is so creepy!
But the musical is pretty bad anyway. The visual horror of the CGI did not mix well with Cats confusing plot-if you can even say Cats had a plot to begin with.
@@chey6073 Cats' plot is actually pretty straightforward. I mean, it's even explained in the beginning.
Even on Broadway, "Cats" had no story. It was a spectacle for lovers of dance. The CGI basically stripped that saving grace away.
This!! Totally agree!
I just learned that Cats's budget was $95 million USD, and it made $69.9 million USD back! That right there is $25.1 million USD down the drain!!!
Alexander Hart With marketing included, it lost $100 million
totally disagree as a fan of performing arts and dance theatre the movie held up wonderfully on that end!! lmao I bet you didn't even watch it or didn't know how to process what you were seeing lol next time think for yourself instead of regurgitating popular opinions
@@jabarrgraves5136 if you are what you say you are, how can you possibly like this movie. It failed in both choreography and singing. I've seen this play a dozen times or so. It's a joy to behold. The actors have to be excellent singers and dancers. It's a gift for the senses. Thus made me want to rip my eyes out. I hope you are never a critic.
Totally a cult. That cat is dead. Going up into the sky to die, honestly
Someone came from Film Theory.........But yeah, that could be true.
Speaking of Mike Myers as Cat in the hat. At least he had a closer resemblance to a cat
The creator basically wasted millions of dollars

“Uhhhm.”
“Hah! Trick question. No theater fan can explain the plot.”
She didn't seem to have actually seen the original musical and her opinions just anger me because they are irrelevant if she had seen it
Recently, Red Dwarf made an hour and a half long episode about the Cat's people. We saw lots of humanoid cats in there, and I think it's safe to say they were all better.
A lot of drugs were involved during the making of this movie.

@lex mota are you a furry?
TheNobleDildo 88 I am.
It hurts my soul that people literally have zero imagination or appreciation for anything artistic now, the 70s and 80s were full of films and theatre similar to this. Go watch Friends the 1000th time or Mean Girls again if you can’t handle something like this, but just let it be and move on now if it’s not your thing
And The Lion King ‘19 was so much worse than this
I mean in regards to the sexual tones the original had sexual tones as well so thats not really one of the reason that should be used for the top 10 everything else tho definitely reasons
They didn't cast Garfield that's why it became the worst.
Not even Andrew Garfield!
Code Khalil I think he meant garfield the fat cat from animation mate. He loves lasagna and he has his own horror short movie btw
I'm surprised Nicholas Cage wasn't in the film considering the fact that the internet really loves to photoshop his face on animals.
Drugs cost money
The "heaviside layer" is Heaven. The cat gets to reincarnate. They're picking which one of them gets to die and be reborn (No joke.)
How is that not obvious?
I always thought the musical was great because of the way I interpret it. The Jellicle Ball is not a competition, the Cats are trying to prove they still belong. The cat that is chosen is ultimately a sacrifice. Think about it - Every time Grizzabella comes out she is shunned and forced away, then at the end she scream-crys "memory" and suddenly everyone loves her again? Bitch please - she goes into the "heaviside layer" and promptly hits the heaviside ground face first and burns up all 9 lives.
The live version was great and it’s longevity and awards speaks for themselves. There is totally a plot and the comments about the missed meaning of things (i.e. Jellicle cats) from this video are explained if you just listen. However it didn’t make a great movie because of the digital animation, in my opinion and the added scenes. Don’t judge this until you’ve seen it. there are some funny parts and James Corden steals the show. It’s also emotional and has a happy ending. Give it a watch and decide for yourself. Cheers.
Hellboy 2019 or Cats 2019?

Although "jellicle cats" is defined as a corruption of "dear little cats", when visiting friends in NE England (Geordies) in 1967 they referred to their cat as a "jellicle cat". When queried, they said it was because of what it looked like. I said, "Oh, we call that a calico cat in the US." Who knows?

The Jellicles: "...on second thought, nevermind. You can kill us now, please."
When I first heard about Cats The Musical being adapted into a Movie, I was hoping that it would be an animated movie with normal shaped cats like Disney's The Aristocats.
Although, after thinking about it, it would be difficult for The Jellicles to dance, which is what this Musical is all about.
And I suppose they used CGI on the cats to make the film feel more Cinematic.
So yeah, adapting Cats into a movie was a Lose-Lose.
Can you think of a property that deals with animation that is under Comcast/NBCUniversal, that would do a better adaptation of 'Cats'?
They could have just made the cats anthropomorphic like Danny and Sawyer from Cats Don't Dance.
Actually, some studios will record real people dancing and use the video to help them figure out how to make their characters move the same way. They even did motion capture for George Miller's _Happy Feet._
@@JamieMurphy25 IDK. Maybe someone can do cats with ACTUAL cats and the only voices is the songs?
The sad part of this is there WAS an animated Cats movie planned that looked like Aristocats. Sadly, it was scrapped before anything happened. You can find concept art for a few cats floating around google.
The play didn’t deserve this...it feels like the movie had a lot of potential that was wasted..memory though isn’t honestly that bad..nothing like the original but not bad at all.

Are you talking about the movie cats or the musical?
Cause they aren't the same
With the comment about Jason Derulo’s performance as The Rum Tum Tugger being extremely sexual, in the Broadway version the character pelvic thrusts is multiple of the girls faces, so it wasn’t just this interpretation of the Rum Tum Tugger, that’s just his character. Now with the rest of the characters in the original aren’t supposed to be extremely sexual, at least I don’t think they are.

You should never complain that the cats movie is just introducing cats, because actually the movie/opera is based on a poetry where every cat has an own unique story and is formed in a poem.
I do dislike the cats movie though, because its CGI is not well made. (Sorry for my bad English, i am still learning.)
I love the 1998 version of cats because we only have about 30 characters who we see on screen the whole time. If you want to learn more you just have to watch the background. I agree with you that the poems give us whole detailed stories.
"It wastes a talented cast."
I think that's unbelievably generous. It doesn't waste a talented cast. It exposes a talentLESS cast that clearly needs real time vocal coaching, unlimited takes, audio correction and auto-tune to sound good.
James Corden as Bustopher could have been brilliant. He was supposed to be posh and Brommel. He was none of this. He was a glutton and trash (literally, they put him in trash) what fat cat do you know that runs around. Most of them sit around and sun until it's time to eat. Jennyanydots, in her song it actually says "she sits and sits and sits and sits and that's what makes a gumby cat" Rebel doesn't sit and sit. ...aaahhhh its horrible
And the singers in the stage play are SO. GOOD. This movie cast well known actors when they really should have focused on casting phenomenal singers and dancers, like the original did.
*It should have been fully animated*
Cats was the most disturbing movie I've seen in my life. And I sat through the "Saw" movies and Midsommar!
Was midsommar disturbing? The trailers never interested me, tell me about it cause I haven’t seen a movie in a fat minute
@@awesomegmer86 It's the most creeping-under-the-skin movie I've seen in the past few years.
watch salo/120 days of sodom if you want to see something truly disturbing
Try “ the human centipede”
Try to watch a Serbian film
Let's make a video of 10 reasons why Watch Mojo can't get a musical's story.
This movie gave me Post Traumatic Cats Disorder (PTCD)
There was a major glitch that they didn't fix when "Cats" was released to theaters. What was supposed to happen was that the projectionist would hit the "PLAY" button and the movie would self-destruct. Unfortunately, when the "PLAY" button was pressed, the movie actually played, disappointing audience members.
I really wish this happened. Then our eyes and ears would be spared from the horrors unfolded within this movie!
i swear i re-read the second sentence so many times before reading the third lmao
When I was seeing the lion king (2019) during the upcoming movies at my local theater, the cats trailer showed up and it LITERALLY MADE ME CRINGE!
Yeah! Thankfully, the fantastic visuals in the lion king helped salvage my eyes. And mind. In fact, I found an article that says that Cats should have done what The Lion King should have when it came to the visuals.
When I Saw the lion king (NOT 2019) I was happy and thought movies would always be amazing : )
Those were good times.
@@spiffygonzales5899 Don't waste your time on The Lion King remake. HUGE fan of the original - it's always moved me emotionally since I was a little girl. The remake was an abomination. Watching a trainwreck would have moved me more than the remake. Junk.
@@misfitbrit1989
That's disappointing : (
Was hoping I could take my nephew to watch it but the reviews were negative.
I heard rumors of a hunchback of Notre Dame remake. And personally that was my favorite Disney movie : )
Hopefully it's better.
@@spiffygonzales5899 I only hope Tom Hooper DOES NOT direct the live-action The Hunchback of Notre Dame remake, given the horrible reception that he have in Cats.
Sam Mendes should be the one directing the live-action The Hunchback of Notre Dame remake, given the fact that he directed musicals on stage.
Looks like somebody didn't see the original musical. Talk about not having a clue.
The only logical explanation for this movie's existence is that the writers were drunk.
