Bad!

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2005)

I went to see the movie without reading any reviews for the movie but being a huge fan of the original. After the movie i was dismayed at the positive feedback of critics. today, i was in awe when i saw that this movie had an average rating of 7.7/10 on IMDb. This movie lacks so much and yet is too much at the same time. There's not heart in this classic children's story, it's just a cold, callous film that has lost sight of it's goal. Since it's not a kid's movie and too childish, silly, and asinine for adults (or so i thought) I really can't believe all of the positive reviews. I feel as if i'm the only person who recognizes how disappointing this film really is. When i watched this movie, I was bored and found the experience as bad as it would be to watch TROY, War of the Worlds, and BEWITCHED in a row. The movie has too much of Tim Burton's touch and fails to become anything memorable or commendable. Even JD's performance was too much and out of place in such a story. Well, i recommend people avoiding this movie because it is a bad movie that many people find enjoyable and "cute" but I found to be very a perfect movie for 2005 (i.e. a bad, over-blown film)
What's the spoiler you may ask? CATCF is an DISGUSTINGLY AWFUL movie!!!
