Cats (2019)

sono partito un po prevenuto ,visto le brutte recensioni che ha ricevuto( incomprensibili secondo il mio giudizio dopo aver visto il film ). invece il regista ci regala un film e vero non perfetto qualche taglio rispetto all'origonale c'e , ma vivo ed emozionante. bel cast di attori ( adorabili Ian M. e Judy D., ma la stella del film e la emergente francesca hayward adorabile e splendida . un film che mi ha emozionato .

Un bel musical

Recensito in Italia il 25 settembre 2020

Premetto che sono un appassionato di musical, e che avevo già acquistato la versione teatrale dello stesso. So anche che questo è stato stroncato dalla critica ed è stato un flop al botteghino. Eppure a me è piaciuto, tanto. Le scenografie evocative, l'ottima recitazione, le voci e le coreografie, tutto mi soddisfa.

MENO PEGGIO DI QUANTO PREVISTO

Recensito in Italia il 19 gennaio 2021

Dopo aver letto le terribili recensioni sul film, ed essendo io appassionato del musical originale, ho deciso di acquistarlo. Paragonarlo con la versione teatrale è sbagliato in partenza, nessun rifacimento in film regge il confronto con la versione originale (vedi "The Phantom of the Opera" o "Jersey Boys"). detto ciò, a me personalmente non è sgarbato totalmente: l'idea di raccontare la storia dal punto di vista di una gatta abbandonata non è del tutto sbagliata, altrimenti il film avrebbe avuto un andamento talmente didascalico da sembrare una lista di gatti. L'animazione in alcuni tratti lascia a desiderare, inficiando anche la indubbia bravura dei ballerini (Francesca Hayward è fantastica); e anche l'arrangiamento di alcuni pezzi non rende giustizia al pathos della storia. Ma non è tutto da criticare: Robert Fairchild nella parte di Munkustrap fa la sua figura (come la suddetta Victoria), Judi Dench e Ian Mckellen sono azzeccati nei rispettivi ruoli (non aspettatevi dei cantanti, ma dei grandi attori), e Laurie Davidson da un buon spessore (e una discreta dolcezza) al suo Mr. Mistoffelees.
I numeri musicali, se si è amanti del musical classico, non sono certo all'altezza; personalmente salverei solo "Old Deuteronomy", "The Railway Cat" e "Memory". Menzione speciale per "Beautiful Ghost", scritta da Taylor Swift apposta per il film (ps: la sua versione di Macavity è abbastanza insipida): bella canzone, che non capivo come potesse inserirsi nel contesto, e invece è azzeccata e dolce al punto giusto.

Film di genere classico e ben realizzato

Recensito in Italia il 17 settembre 2020

Grande, non solo per le coreografie, la musica ed il contenuto in generale; ma anche, e non ultimo, gli effetti speciali ed i costumi. Sono riusciti a dare verosimiglianza agli attori quali gatti. FANTASTICO!

Trash, pura schifezza

Recensito in Italia il 2 settembre 2020

Un insulto al meraviglioso cats originale? Si,un insulto. È tremendo oltre ogni dire,ridicolo e patetico, non potevo dunque non avere il dvd nella mia parte di collezione di film trash,vinto come peggior film non c'è altro da dire, scene dal significato totalmente diverso dal musical poetico originale,mancanza di intere parti e personaggi,le musiche sono terrificanti,hanno rovinato il ritmo e la melodia originale,le musiche sono per la maggior parte spente di tutta la loro euforia e associate a scene trash e ridicole, la gatta che si spella della sua pelliccia per avere addosso il vestito è...incommentabile.... memory è interpretata molto bene anche se il look della attrice resta uno 0,la gatta dovrebbe sembrare grigia,fredda e vecchia,invece hanno rovinato il trucco con un look troppo caldo per lei non è evocativo,rovina la fotografia della scena,la importanza di victoria come nuova in quel mondo è stata rovinata. Memory però come detto è molto ben cantata,forse l'unica canzone. Le altre rovinate. Il look 3d è...non so che dire,hanno fatto tutto gatto e poi hanno mantenuto mani e naso umani? Perché santo cielo? Se volete vedere una pessima pellicola e amate il genere prego vedetelo,in altri casi evitatelo come la peste,è un insulto al musical.

Film rafraichissent

Recensito in Francia il 13 gennaio 2022

A une période ou le cinéma est à 90% de super héros , marvel et sa 48 ième phase , je trouve ce film rafraichissent et unique dans son ambiance. Je connaissais la comédie musicale mais que de nom je ne l'ai jamais vu et j'ai tellement lu de choses négatives à propos de ce film que j'ai eu envie de le voir et je ne suis pas décu , car contrairement à ce que j'ai pu lire , je trouve ce film très bien , agréable dans son esthétique même si ca fait un peu étrange mais je trouve que ca lui donne du charme et comme je l'ai dit plus haut c'est très rafraichissant de voir un réalisateur prendre un risque comme celui là de nos jours ou on nous assomme à coup de Marvel tous les 2 mois . A voir .

Yes, it's people being Cats. If you already know you hate CATS the musical, don't watch it.

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 9 aprile 2020

Prologue: It amazes me how many people will go to a film they already know they will hate, force themselves to sit through it, then come out ranting about how "I KNEW IT WOULD BE BAD." ... Then, why did you go? So, yes. If you already know you hate musicals, or CATS, or CATS the musical, don't bother to watch it. If you know nothing about the show but are interested, watch the 1998 film first. If you love the show and the 1998 film, be prepared for a different interpretation, but still a fun time.

As someone who has loved CATS the musical for years, watched the 1998 film countless times, and seen the show live six times, here is my honest review of the new film adaptation. (Note: I've now watched it about ten times and have enjoyed it more each time.)

Well. This year's Jellicle Ball was certainly something else. Something else entirely. One of those years when you just want to wake the next morning and forget everything that happened, except the wonderful moments. (The moooooments of happiness...)

Let's get the negatives out of the way first:

1. Jennyanydots. I thought Taylor Swift would be the worst part of the film, but Rebel Wilson beat her by quite a bit. Apart from Munkustrap and the cute mice, "The Old Gumbie Cat" was one long cringe-fest. Rebel robbed Jenny of any semblance of dignity, and pretty much did the same in every scene she was in. Her stupid jokes and comments were not funny. The best part of the Gumbie Cat scene is watching all the kittens' reactions to everything Jenny does. Meanwhile Munkustrap simply takes it all in stride. His motto is Protect All, Judge None. (He does try to protect the mice and cockroaches from her...not always with success.)

2. Judi Dench's singing. I adore Judi Dench, and she made a great motherly figure. I especially loved her interactions with Victoria and Munkustrap and Mistoffelees. However, she struggled on the songs. I don't understand why she didn't just speak everything. If Rex Harrison can get away with it in My Fair Lady, Judi Dench should be able to get away with it in CATS. Still, she overall gets a pass from me, because...she's Dame Judi Dench.

Some Neutrals:

1. The "Macavity and Growltiger Taking Jellicles Prisoner" sideplot. It was so awkward, but hilarious at the same time. I do wish Munkustrap and Macavity had still had their epic showdown, but Macavity was more of a trickster in this version, not so much a physical confrontation guy. I do like how Skimble, Gus, Jenny, and Bustopher worked together to make Growltiger walk the plank.

2. Macavity, specifically the song. I thought I would hate this scene because of Taylor Swift, but I don't think I did. Still not crazy about her voice, but I liked when the other "Macavity Queens" joined in, and the "hypnotising with catnip" was kind of cool. I loved how everyone was trying to help Misto and Victoria sneak away.

3. The Live Singing. Tom Hooper is obsessed with everyone singing live on set. That's all well and good, but I prefer the more "polished" studio sound when it comes to films. Just a personal preference.

And the Positives (in no certain order):

1. Munkustrap! This one was a no-brainer. I love Munkustrap and Robbie Fairchild was a great casting choice. I did think his interactions with Victoria were awkward at times. Was he a fatherly figure, or in love with her? Couldn't tell. (Was this some sort of Lord Melbourne/Queen Victoria reference?) Certainly by the end he had taken on the role of "proud dad who totally ships Mistoria." But anyway, he was so sweet and always trying to take care of others. I also enjoyed all his solos - and the fact that he even got a few extra ones. Munkustrap singing Skimbleshanks? Munkustrap singing Misto's song? YES, please! (Sorry, Tugger.)

2. Mistoffelees. I thought it was an interesting change to have him struggling with confidence issues and still trying to perfect his magical abilities. His immediate and obvious besottedness with Victoria was adorable. He was just adorable all round. I do wish his song hadn't had so many of the awkward pauses in it during his multiple attempts to bring Old D back, but it was still enjoyable. The way he magically made all the musical instruments float up to the ceiling and play the accompaniment?? So cool! And everyone's reactions to him are fun to watch. He has some adorable interactions with Syllabub.

3. Victoria. She was simply lovely. I do wish she had had more dance solos. I thought the bit she danced with Munkustrap just before the Invitation was a bit different, but still good. Certainly no replacement for the usual Victoria opening Invitation dance. I thought her singing was lovely; you could tell she wasn't fully comfortable with it, but that worked well for the state of uncertainty she was in as a character.

4. Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer. I thought their song and scene would be my favorite. Well, it ended up being my second-favorite because of what's coming next on the list. But I have no complaints about them whatsoever. Irish Teazer and Cockney Jerrie? Yes, please! Original London version of the song? Yesssss. Doing Macavity's dirty work but then pleading, "It was just a bit of fun!"? Totally them.

5. SKIMBLESHANKS. This, by far, was my favorite scene in the entire film. The dancing, the set, the costume (hey, the trousers and hat worked for him!), and (the most unexpected) Steve McRae's voice! I had no idea he could sing that well! He sounds so much like the original London Skimble!

6. CORICOPAT. There are no words. He is THE most adorable kitten and an amazing dancer!

7. Corey John Snide and Kolton Krouse. THESE TWO. It's an absolute crime they are so difficult to spot. Now I can find them in nearly every scene, but that's after having watched the film ten times. These amazing former Cats Broadway cast members deserve much more recognition than they've had.

8. THE ENTIRE ENSEMBLE. Ditto everything said above about Corey and Kolton. It's most tiresome having all the attention go to the Big Names when it's Robbie and the Ensemble that carries this entire film.

Overall: I enjoyed it. The cringey bits were pretty cringey, but it hasn't stopped me from watching it multiple times. And honestly at this point I just laugh off the cringe moments, because they're caused by the ones (*cough* WilsonCorden*cough*) who had no idea what they were doing, didn't care much about the film, knew nothing about the show or its origins (seriously; Wilson thought the poems were from the seventeenth century), and didn't enter the Jellicle world the way the others did. Robbie Fairchild and Bluey Robinson and Steve McRae and Les Twins and the whole ensemble? AHmazing. They were true Jellicle Cats.

Les mèches à bouchonner, bien pour une utilisation occasionnelle dans des bois pas trop durs. La finition de certains biseaux de coupe est "moyenne", on en a pour le prix, mais pas plus.

am Anfang Entsetzen, dann ging es - Kunst halt

Recensito in Germania il 16 febbraio 2024

Zu Beginn des Films war ich ehrlich entsetzt, dachte, das soll ich mir jetzt fast zwei Stunden antun? Die Optik war sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Nach einiger Zeit kam ich dann rein und dann war der Film gar nicht so schlecht, wenn es auch eigentlich kaum eine Handlung gibt und im Endeffekt nur eine Katze nach der anderen vorgestellt wird mit Hilfe eines Liedes. Nun, das ist halt Musical. Gesprochen wird kaum etwas. Wahnsinn ist, wie sie die Darsteller ausgesucht haben, denn gefühlt spielen sie sich als Katze einfach selbst: So spielt Jason Derulo beispielsweise einen ziemlich selbstverliebten Kater, Taylor Swift ist eine laszive sexy Katze, James Cordon witzig und Rebel ist - oh Wunder - eine dicke Katze. Stimmlich brillieren natürlich die Sänger, folglich Jason, Taylor und Jennifer Hudson. Grizabella wird im Übrigen in der deutschen Version von Patricia Meeden gesprochen und gesungen - eine tolle Leistung mit Gänsehautgarantie.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die Verfilmung von Cats Kunst ist.
