Garfield : Héros malgré lui

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.

Kids will love this movie as its got all the staples of things they like; tug at the heart string scenes, hilarious and over the top characters plus plenty of humour. However, i do think that die hard Garfield fans like myself, who are fans of the original comic strips will be somewhat disappointed. The whole point of Garfield is that hes a very simple yet loveable character, in this movie they try to make him into a more complex cat with daddy issues. Its not bad, I just don't think Garfield fans will like it, but the kids will certainly be all over it. I took this movie with a pinch of salt and it was watchable enough. Unsure if I liked the voice actors used for some of the characters but of course nothing beats the legendary voice of the fabulous Lorenzo Music, he sure is missed!

This is probably going to end up being a guilty pleasure for me. Now, this isn't the best movie, nowhere close to my top 10 of the year. However, I thought it was a sweet movie. It gave me a smile. Yes, some of the humor is unfunny, a lot of times it can fall flat on its face, but I still had a good time. Again, I thought it was a sweet film! I love a good father-son story. Now they do have some things to fix, but if they could learn from their mistakes, I'd be down to see a sequel. What probably made me the happiest is that it reminded me of the Garfield cartoon I would watch when I was younger. So, it definitely had nostalgia in there for me.

"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 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.
