| Yep, Jim Davis will be making a lotta moolah from his feline friend again. Garfield will apparently hit the screens this summer. http://www.garfieldmovie.com has all of the stuff on it, apparently. Part of me is like "whoa! I love Garfield! This movie's gonna be kickass!" and another part of me is like "well... he's not in cartoon... and there catch phrase 'it's all about me-ow' is kinda stupid.... umm...." I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out. But then, that's all the more reason for me to go and see it!  What do you guys think about this cat going to the theaters?(edited by Kefka on 05-12-04 01:22 PM) |

| Gross. I don't think Garfield should ever star in a movie, let alone a non-cartoon of any sort. Even as a comic, a good Garfield skit is hard to find. Don't get me wrong, the good stuff is really good, but most of it's pretty terrible. Jim Davis is very hit-and-miss with his work. As I said, Garfield's only good about a 1/3 of the time (great for kids, though), and that bloody comic about Orson et al on the farm is just shit. As for the movie, I'd expect it to ruin all the fun that's left in Garfield for me. I'm open to the possiblity of being wrong -- in fact, I hope I am -- but I certainly won't be going to see this in theatres. |

I just find him... diffrent from the cartoon charachter.  I loved Garfield as kid, very much. But oh well, I probably would not gonna watch this movie. Unless it's actually is good.  |

| Maddox said it best. This movie is going to womp, just like the cartoon has for the last 32 years of repeats. |

The old ones were much better, when Davis still had fresh ideas in his head.  Yea... that part of me that said "well... he's not in cartoon... and there catch phrase 'it's all about me-ow' is kinda stupid.... umm...." is opening up more to become "this movie's gonna blow" Yet I thought the Scooby Doo movies would blow too, but I actually found them relatively humorous (yes, I watched em )... so I have no clue until it comes out. At which point I'll see what Roger Ebert says and then base my final decision to go see it or not on that. |

| Well, the comic in the first place isn't that good. C'mon, the only thing it has is repetitive physical humor, bashes on Jon, and "OMG, I'm fat/lazy/whatever!" I enjoy reading it from time to time, but reading the same jokes in different formats just dulls your mind . . . like Cathy. As for the movie, I'm not too psyched about it, but it does take a turn from the regular strip. I mean, he's actually leaving that stupid counter for once. This just might open up some new horizon for Jim Davis, but I shouldn't really get my hopes up. I'm still going to see the movie, since I'm a die-hard comic fan and all. I just hope they did the fat cat some justice. |

| I'm optimistic about the movie, despite the constructive criticism. It will be different though without the original voice actor, but you can't use him if he's dead. | |||

| While it does look better than some other movie conversions, I am still a bit leery of the whole idea. If I want to see a movie about wisecracking talking animals generated by computer graphics, I'll save my cash for Shrek. | |||

| This is going to be retarded. There's no question in my mind. Like, you can think, well Shrek MIGTH be good, but this movie.. no. just no. The comic blows. Repetitive.. not funny.. he doesn't even draw the strips himself. |

Originally posted by Teddylot Or Seinfeld... no seriously, he used the same jokes OVER and OVER... yet it never got dull.  Now, that doesn't mean this movie won't blow, but it just shows you that SOMETIMES you can get away with using the same crap over and over and still be funny. |

| Kefka does have a bit of a point there. I don't know how many times I've heard the same old crap on Seinfeld greeted with applause and laughter. In fact, I can't really tollerate Jerry Seinfeld as a comedian, most of the time. However, the show was pretty good... Wait a second. I just realized how horridly off-topic I am. Uhm... I've pretty much said all that I can say about Garfield, sssooo... look over there! *runs* |

Not sure if I want to see this one. The cartoon was okay. Even though I don't remember much about it . I'd just wait until it reaches video..or TV..which may not take very long  . Well it might, you never know  |

| Davis was putting out great Garfield strips in the 1980s. But even Garfield at its height isn't half as good as Fox Trot. And just to stay on-topic, does anyone know where I can find a picture of the CGI Garfield? All search attempts have failed. I'll go check out that movie link in the first post and see if there's one there. | |||

| I'll see it just to see how much Davis has butchered the series. There has already been a thread on this, BTW. | |||

THERE'S BEEN A THREAD ON THIS STOP DISCUSSION NOW  I think this movie will be successful as far as money goes, because of the younger kids.. it's probably the target audience anyway. Anyone remember the Garfield cartoon? Oh man. I also used to have these books with tapes that would read the books outloud, and Garfield would do his voice.. that voice he always has bothers me to no end. |

| The comic strip and movie also target fat people, lazy people, and losers! =D I remember the cartoon, as well. I might not have seen that many episodes, but I always thought the voices fit their characters . . . except for Doc Boy, that is. |
