Garfield...... The Movie!?

I was at the theater the other day and noticed signs for "Garfield the Movie". Of course, they depicted poor Garfield in a static cling window ad that had him in the famous "car-window" suction cup thingie pose (LOL does that make sense?). It always bums me out when they make movies like this because I feel like they are going to ruin the true spirit of Garfield (like they did poor Scooby-doo last year...).

So what do you think..... will it have potential or will it turn the name Garfield into a sad memory of a flopped movie?

I saw the ad last time I was at the movies. I'm not impressed. I've always enjoyed the comic strip but I think the movie will just ruin it, so I doubt I'll go see it.

I saw the trailer online about a month ago, people were making fun of it on another forum. It looks completely bottom of the barrel.

The actual comic hasn't been funny for a long time now, but the older editions were pretty great. For kitty laughs I'd rather read Get Fuzzy now.

OMG! Garfield, I have everything garfield, videos,toys,phone,clocks the lot.. i worship him, I hope the movie comes out soon!

I always liked the cartoon and the comic strip, but the movie doesn't sound like it would be that great. They probably should have just left it alone.

No offence to you Sam, but that movies looks cheesy.

Haha non taken Shawna. I guess I'm just a die hard garfield fan and need to see it, just to say I have, am I the only one interested? lol

I'm really interested but I sure hope garfield doesn't look like the intro cat on that site. I guess I'm a die-hard retro Garfield fan. I'll probably rent the movie if it's like the intro but if it's old cartoon style then I'll definitely go see the movie.

I've just checked out the trailer on the site and Garfield IS the computer generated kitty from the intro. I don't know if I'll go and see it, there isn't enough info on the site yet.
