Ok, so I see two ways this might go: 1) It ends up being just a boring old snoozefest. 2) It ends up the hilarious stuff of cult legend. I'm obviously hoping for the second, and I'll be watching it anyway. It could have a zero on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes on its release day and I'd still go and see it. In fact, they'd be the final motivator to see it. I mean, option #1 would mean that you'll basically burn your money.

I'll still sit through it to the end. If I made it through Moneyball, I can make it through anything.

The musical IS quite boring but it looks like Hoops and his team did everything to turn it into a ridiculous cringefest that can't be anything but entertaining!

If this flops, I'll be worried about the prospects of Glenn Close's Sunset Blvd...

The amount of dislikes every video with the trailer on Youtube is getting is insane for a big studio release like that. But the thing is that everyone who's mocking this WILL definitely go to see it so it'll still make good money This'll probably by THE hate-watch experience of the year.

I'm not really sure how to react to this. I'm both confused by the fact that it looks like a train wreck and intrigued cause it looks like a train wreck.

So are they just gonna have a bunch of CG cats? I’m in the same boat and know fuck all about any of this. I still know fuck all about it, and I called it.

Poor cat's probably scarred for life. I've never felt so sorry for a cat before.

Seeing McKellen and Dench like this is very painful.

This somehow felt more degrading than watching Judi Dench do porn.

Am I the only one that doesn't think this looks... that... bad? I mean, it seems like it may actually be sort of... enjoyable? Unironically?
I actually thought that Bob Coppola and Jango's avatars were screenshots from the movie and not jokes, so maybe when I finally broke down and watched this I was just overjoyed that poor Ian McKellen hadn't been through that.
I'm going to be cautiously supportive of this one. And unlike everyone else here, I don't dislike Tom Hooper, so there's that too.

I mock it, but I know I’m still gonna flock to it the second it comes out. I’ve never seen the stage musical, but it is still a *musical*. I will never not be excited for one of those, and I’m probably the board’s biggest Les Mis fan (the movie), so I’m absolutely gonna go see it.

I was at the theater with one of my kids and a friend of his, when the Cats trailer came up they both laughed loudly. It gave me these vibes

You all can joke, but Taylor Swift may legitimately win an Oscar for this movie. This has Best Original Song winner written all over it and regardless on the quality of the film, Universal is gonna push it hard and Original Song is going to be its best bet.

I don't know what all is in the running, but I prefer it to Spirit and the annual Diane Warren song from Breakthrough.
