Garfield Trailer

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/garfield/large.html

Eh, looks like a rental when it comes out on DVD, but I don't see anything worth spending the money to go to a theatre to see. Sad, really, it could have been pretty good.

Ugh, what in god's name is THAT?

If Davis is attatched to this in any way he just turned "sell-out", this is nothing like his universe.

Looks good for a trailer. i know that this would be a movie where some smart Critics would try to convense people that the movie is a flop.

But I don't judge movie from the Critics. I'm very easy going with any spin off movies.

I wounder if my aunt is going to see this movie? She's a big fan of Garfield.

Why do you judge a movie based on the way it looks alone? I did exactly that for films, like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Lilo & Stitch. I thought the Final Fantasy film was going to be awesome when I saw previews, but I was very disappointed when I saw the film. Before I saw Lilo, I thought., 'um...I should skip this one.' When I saw the movie on TV, my views changed. What I'm saying is that looks or a preview of something doesn't always mean that the film will be good or bad.

*doesnt have QT, but...*

Use Jim's Skills, Dangit! Look at some of the treasuries he's done. A CGI Garfield just isnt the same as the good ole 2-D...

After seeing the trailer, I agree. I guess they wanted to try something new.

according to the cast they're using a good number of charaters from the Garfield Series. since he's been a favorite to all Sunday Comic readers.

I remenber the original Cartoon Series that ran for a few seasons.

Notice that the CGI Garfield moves his lips when the one in the comics is open minded.

As far as CGI Garfield goes, I'm more upset with the fact they DIDN't Make a CGI Odie. Where is the logic in that? It's just pointless to make garfiled CGI and not Odie.

I feel that the main problem is that. It's like on that horrid Inspector Gadget movie when they Didn't make Brain or MadCat CGI's. That would have made that sorry attempt much more bearable.

I may/maynot see this if there is anything else good in theaters. I am brutally disappointed, and peeved that they couldn't even make CGI Odie...it's so disconnected!

On the bright side,the CGI Garfield doesn't look as bad as the CGI Scooby Doo. But at least in the Scooby Doo movie they finally gave Scrappy his cumuppance...

Compared to what the new look Mighty Mouse looks like, Garfield is a saint.
