Garfield: Eine extra Portion Abenteuer

"Garfield" is a movie for the whole family. Despite being silly in most cases, it has a very childlike aspect with some sharp jokes. It's a 6/6.5 movie, but it manages to entertain children in particular. It's not like the old animated Garfield; however, it is still a pleasant film. I believe that, for the adult audience, it can be silly in many parts; however, there are some parts of the movie that can please both audiences. The sharp jokes that "Garfield" makes can get some laughs out of us. It is not a movie that will please 100% of the adult audience due to its silliness, but it can be enjoyable for some people.

I came to the movie to see the Garfield that I used to love from the comics from when I was a kid, and I definitely got that. The drawing style of all the characters was very recognizable and the slapstick humor that I wanted to see was present throughout the whole movie.

I must say the voice of Chris Pratt was better than expected and I think it did the character justice. Not a single moment did it not come across as unbelievable. The other voice actors were perfect and wonderfully exaggerated at moments, which fits the movie perfectly.

Jon didn't have a very big role in the movie, unfortunately, but when he was there he was like Jon was supposed to be. A bit goofy and funny.

Odie, however, was not very much like the character in the comics in my opinion. He used to be an abused sidekick that was basically always in the way and very stupid, but here he was the Robin that did everything for Garfield and he got credit for it as well. Modern times I suppose.

The plot is far fetched, the story is weird and has holes, but all that doesn't matter because it technically is a children's movie. I enjoyed the jokes and the animation quite a lot and so did my kids.

Don't compare it to the 2004 movie.

"The Garfield Movie" is a pleasant film without further ado, the script is simple and fun, in addition to containing a well-made family message, however it fails to capture the essence of the animated series "Garfield and Friends" or the sarcasm of the strip comedy by Jim Davis. The actors who lend their voices to give life to the characters do a good job. The computer animation has quality but it would have been better if it had been done with old school style animation. The soundtrack, sound design, and editing all achieve their goal without being of superb quality. "The Garfield Movie" is a decent movie, it has fun scenes but it is not wonderful.

I didn't think this would be important to me, but it is. Garfield is more known to have a raspy, "lazy" type of voice. I'm not hating on the actor, but I feel the Garfield in this movie doesn't have that kind of effect.

However, Chris Patt did wonderful with his voice acting. So did everyone else!

The thing is that Jon didn't have a major role, there was more pizza than lasagna, and no Liz.

I would like to say, the movie by itself is good. If you are okay with everything listed, I'd say to watch it. It can be a little fast paced by the start, but it'll slow down later on. In conclusion, the movies good.

I have been waiting from this film since it was announced during the pandemic back in 2021 but it suddenly got delayed multiple times and at some point many stuff was leaked before release teasing that something was going wrong during production, after the film finally released I realize I was right. The film feels like a less special Garfield version of The Peanuts Movie which instead commits the same mistakes as Toy Story 4 by getting less focus of the iconic characters like Jon Arbuckle and Nermal over new ones like Garfield's father Vic in a mostly boring robbery storyline that you can feel was chopped during production as many scenes feel disconnected and with weird pacing and tonal issues.
