maybe its just a bad idea for cartoons to now have live action movies. its because we grew up w/ them being toons now their in a live action movie........... i think its a bad move my the movie industry for live action movies for toons
I don't like the fact that it won't that it won't live up to the mastery of the comic strip. Other than that I see nothing really wrong with it. All of the technical things: Comic Odie doesn't look like a real dog at all. It may work in the comic, but not in a movie where it's supposed to be beliveable. A CGI Garfield was used to they could better use his characteristics.
i just saw a preview to the film, and it really looks, well bad. I really do hate the fact of Garfield being CGI and Otty not being CGI, it really takes something away from the film. what do you think
If he's portrayed incorrectley but from what I've seen of the trailer it looks really good. Loved the bit where he was dancing around the floor.
Here's a litle fact: Bill Murray as you know does the voice for the new Garfield movie but the guy who useto do the voice for the Garfield cartoon also voiced Bill Murray's character Peter Venkman in The Real Ghostbusters.
IT WAS BAD ENOUGH WHEN THEY HAD F**KING SCOOBY DOO AS A CGI DOG. Cartoons just should not be made into films. Comic-to-film is ok and computer game to film is good but not cartoon. Or atleast not live action.
I mean they're doing thunderbirds for F**k sake. (ok thats not a cartoon but it was on after sharky and george in the afternoons)
Actually, although I HATE to admit it, I thought Scooby Doo was brilliant. It was a total p*ss take of the cartoon. Thought some of the jokes were funny and Scooby was funny. I also loved the fact that even though the kiddies love it, it was a bit like Shrek, where the grown-ups could appreciate it too. Some of the more subtle gags were brilliant, especially the smoke coming out of the Mystery Machine only to find out they are cooking food inside! Most of the jokes were pretty juvenile, but I enjoyed the movie, especially because Scrappy Doo is evil.
I love Scrappy Doos line when he's getting arrested:"I would have gotten away with it too, if it werent for you sons of..........." *door slams*
Wheras Scooby Doo was brilliant fun, I can't see how Thunderbirds is going to be anything other than awful.
Thunderbirds looks like a mental raping of my fond childhood Thunderbird memories. The machines look decent, but KIDS? It looks like Spy Kids all over again. I HATE movies like that - even when I was a kid, I wanted to see the adults/true heroes save the day. It's like in the Ninja Turtles movie where that punk kid saves the Turtles - NO!
Other reasons not already named? For one, Garfield as a comic strip just wasn't that funny. It just doesn't hold a candle to Calvin & Hobbes or The Farside, in my opinion.
