Cats is a movie that you rarely see from Hollywood, one were you cant understand the thought process behind its creation. For that reason Cats may be the worst big budget Hollywood film I've ever seen. It manages to get nothing right. The movie even gets things I would've thought Impossible to get wrong. The audio mixing is atrocious, songs that could've worked such as Memories suffer because of it. The CGI, it goes without saying at this point. How a director like Tom Hooper with a cast full of great actors churned out this is beyond me. Why did anyone think this was a good career decision? With most terrible Hollywood films; even really terrible ones I can understand the intent behind them, this movie is special. It may be the worst movie because it perplexes me more than any other ever made. A movie made by an Oscar winning director, starring Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, and countless others exists in the form it does. It would be more accurate to say it wasn't released it escaped. Nevertheless, I recommend any aspiring film buff watch the film just to see what can go wrong, and what not to do.
