Reviens, Garfield!

OK I didn't watch the whole thing, I fell asleep, I didn't need to. I'll sum it up, I saw the first movie, they screwed up the characters (besides Garfield) on that. But this one is much much worse, lets see...none of the voices even sound at all like the old cartoons or even have half the of the character that they had. They all sound like they're on autopilot. It looks like it was made for 2 year olds, and here's the biggest problem, get this, Garfield's mouth moves with his words. His mouth is supposed to stay still because he's only thinking the words, he can't actually talk to john, if these morons had actually read a garfield comic strip or watched one of the cartoons before animating it they'd know that. Just as bad as the guys who made that pink panther cartoon series where he talked. It's upsetting to watch them take something I liked as a kid and dumb it down so far. See it didn't need to be dumbed down for kids, I watched the old garfield specials (before the show) when I was a kid and they were great, they were already basically for kids. This is pathetic, Garfield deserves better. Unfortunately according to this site it says Jim Davis wrote it, his strips have also been...not very funny for awhile, I think he needs to give it up, sorry to say, I still think the old garfield comic strips (collected in volumes) and the old TV specials are great. This DVD is horrid.

This film is probably the worst movie I have had the unfortunate pleasure of watching The story line is weak the animation is worse than a PlayStation 2 game. Everyone involved in this film should be embarrassed Don't watch it.

This is not just a bad film. This is one of the worst pieces of media I have ever consumed.

It amazes me that Garfield has been such an iconic and recognisable brand for so long and yet the quality of media produced by Paws inc. never seems to pass mediocrity and sometimes gives us mindbogglingly awful uses of the character such as Garfield Gets Real.

On the outset this film is supposed to be a critic about how stale the comic has gotten, being written by the creator, Jim Davis, himself my guess is that this was his attempt to show that their is still room for creativity and humor in Garfield. It's such a shame that Davis has never seemed to actually find any such creativity and humour.

This film is not like the other Garfield films. The other ones anyone who loved the comic could watch. This film is JUST for kids and totters. The animation is really good for this type of film and the voice acting is great. The plot of the comic Garfield entering our world is an idea that could have been done much better if they filmed the "real" world stuff with real people because you just don't get the feel that he is in the real world.

If you are a regular Garfield fan over 10 or so you can just watch this on a Sunday afternoon as a time waster. If you have any, watch this with your kids. They will love it but could be confused never knowing who Garfield is. They will still enjoy it

Garfield is a philosophical, furry fat man originally intended by our disgruntled, coffee-slugging adults. But this is not Garfield. This is a fantasy show with a Garfield lookalike. It's watered down, badly animated, and contains horrible new characters such as Shecky, Sheila, Billy Bear, and that intolerable Bonita.

Garfield is supposed to take place in a real-life setting in Muncie. This is a fake world with pseudo-physical properties that is home to the comic strip. It is an alternate reality to our own. I always preferred to think that Garfield lived right across my state border, not in a parallel universe.

I don't know how Jim Davis ever allowed it (and its sequels) to ever come into production. This would be the worst Garfield film of all, if not for the Fun Fest. Awful. But then, that gives insight to my mind as well: I watched them, and I'm planning to see the Pet Force, just for the heck of it. Do we humans ever learn? I'm giving this one 2 stars, because I love Garfield. I don't think I can be that lenient on Fun Fest, though. Even my 8-year-old Garfield-loving sister couldn't stand this stuff. Give me "Babes and Bullets" any day, and leave "Gets Real" for your younger siblings and children.
