Top Cat

Ok

 So I have watched Top Cat movie and the critics where right it is appallingly bad. It has some slightly amusing moments but nothing amazing this film won't be one of those that stick in your head for a long time you will soon forget about it. I must admit I got bored 30 minutes in and thought about not watching it any more but I stuck in there to see if it redeemed itself. But no it didn't! The bit that really confused me was all the technology, it was obviously meant to be set along time in the future with robots and holograms. ( would Top Cat really have lasted that long? something tells me he would have been long gone by then considering in the cartoon if I remember rightly they didn't even have cell phones) I know it is a cartoon and you are meant to expend your belief but this much?

And things that just don't go anywhere like the bad guy ( Strickland ) randomly get out a mirror and is completely obsessed with himself and looks but there is no reason behind it you can only come to the conclusion he is deluded there is no back story behind him not even a one line mention as to why. Also he randomly tells us about a mole on his arse that is shaped like a cow and wants to show it to Officer Dibble I think it is meant to be funny but to be honest it just made me go WTF?. Also one part when they are trying to save TC a bell calls a random horse from no where in the middle of New York City that just disappears and you never see again I mean why? They could of hid in a lorry/car or mail van it would make more sense!

So all in all if you liked Top Cat as a kid don't watch it you will be highly disappointed. Yes the voice acting is good and it is nice to see all the old TC gang but it really does nothing for the image of Top Cat. The best I can say is your kids will probably like it it might keep them entertained for a short while.

So that is it from me but as always it is good to make your own opinions about movies everyone has different ideas about what makes a good movie :)

What this space see you all soon    

Top Cat the movie 2012

Top Cat the movie is out in 3D on your screens this Friday. Unfortunately though it hasn't been given the best ratings in the world scoring only 5.3/10 by IMDB. Movie reviewers such as Scott Davis from Flickering Myths that gave the movie 1 star  ( http://www.flickeringmyth.com ) and Jeff Galasso from londonfilmfanatiq (http://londonfilmfanatiq.com) gave it only 3 stars. Saying that the movie is going to be in the list of worst movies brought out this year.

According to the reviews the movie is bad from start to finish with appalling 3D which is likely to give anyone a headache and the animation is classed and uninspired and dull. One even went as far as the say that the original creators the great Hanna Barbera productions Ltd,( The Flinstones )  would turn in there graves at the sight of this movie. Saying the TC is very poorly done and his side kicks should have there own movie as they are the only slightly interesting parts within the flick.

So the story initials a new police man on the block, that is less than pleased with the way Officer Dibble's deals with the TC and his gang with their scams. The film adds new characters (much to many peoples disappointment)  one of which is Trixie the love interest of TC. I mean why? he never needed one before why bring one in now! But anyway I digress, TC/ Giswald/ Lou Strickland/ Choo choo/ Brain and Big Gus are all voiced by Jason Harris in the English version of this movie, of whom you may have heard of from Despicable Me. Which from watching the trailer appears to actually gets TC's voice pretty much right.

Here is the trailer for you to make up your own opinions.

So for now that it is from me. I will be watching the film so I can of course make up my own opinions about the movie( but from watching the trailer it doesn't look good ) and I will get back to you all about what I made of it.

So watch this space and take care everyone.
