called it a "sinister, all-time disaster from which No One emerges unscathed", giving the film no stars.
"Everything feels off, from the scale of the purpose-built set (which makes The Cats look more like Borrowers) to the erratic interpretations of its musical Numbers . . Regarding cats or humans, Hooper, it seems, has nothing to say," in her one-star Review .
wrote That while he didn't think Cats was "terrible", he felt Tom Hooper had "missed The Spot ".
"The harsh truth is the film feels plastic, it has no heart or soul. That might well be a problem with The Source material and its suitability for a transfer from stage to screen. Notwithstanding notable successes, the fact is not everything That is a hit in one medium works in another," he continued, giving the film two stars.
But The Movie could still Make Up some ground after the main Christmas festivities are over and people head out to be entertained.
