GARFIELD!
finally got that garfield download done (juz dunno y they won't screen it here yet, but if they do, i wouldn't mind watching it a second time) and i muz say i luv the movie... sure, i have lots of gripes on it... garfield, jon, odie, nermal, arlene and liz all dun look like their comic counterpart, odie isn't tortured as much as i'd like, not as many slapstick jokes, jon didn't turn out to be that sore loser with liz, nermal's become a stray and an 'extra' in the movie, where's odie's owner lyman, the storyline gets a bit expected in the end, kinda like i'd seen that be4...
the list can go on, and if i was giving a movie review as a normal guy at the movies, i wouldn't really recommend it. but, hell, it's GARFIELD. the same garfield i'd seen 26 years of archives on and counting (right down to the first in 1978). i'm a BIG GARFIELD FAN, and juz having more time with him is gd enuf... i'd have luved more of his one-liners from the comics as well as more inside jokes (esp for fans like me who'd read every strip out there), and really, liz going out with jon would nvr happen in the strips, but still, i think the movie managed to capture the spirit of the comics...
GO GARFIELD!!!
