Movie Review

A few weeks ago we bought the DVD of Valiant - it had been in cinemas the week previously so I guess the speed-to-video means it was a flop? But we loved it.

Yesterday we rented Garfield - the Movie. My goodness, it is not often that you get to watch such an unutterably bad film. I mean, technically the computer graphics mixed into real stuff with real actpersons was good. But this was completely the wrong thing to do. To anyone who reads the comic strip, Garfield and Jon are 2D, black-and-white characters. The Roger Rabbit approach might have worked (2D hand-drawn animation superimposed on live-action), but turning Garfield into a realistic fluffy cat-thing was totally wrong.

Yekkkhhhhh.
