Garfield (2004)

This movie, for me, is a mixed bag. I think it's a charming movie that has a ton of enjoyable moments and good entertainment, but it's also extremely anchored down by the fact that this film does an awful job staying true to the comics it's based off of. The only thing it did well with staying true to the comics is Garfield himself, as he looks great in this movie, and I think Bill Murray did a great job in his role. But, everything else just doesn't feel right. Nermal, instead of being the cutest cat in the world, is just an ordinary cat. Same thing goes for Arlene, as nothing about her is reminiscent to her comic counterpart. Jon is also completely different than what he should be. Jon's supposed to be a middle aged-ish, sometimes clueless and grumpy, yet good hearted pet owner, but in this film, he's a late 20s-early 30s shy guy that's more worried about getting a date than taking care of his pets. I mean, come on. Were the writers of this film even trying? Also, Garfield is the only one who's actually animated and looks most like his comic counterpart, while literally everyone else is just normal animals. I don't get it, because all the other animals were cartoon like too, but Garfield's the only one to get the treatment? I get that he's the main star of the film, but it's jarring to see everyone else as a normal animal while he just sticks out like a sore thumb. But despite all these major flaws, I will admit that I did find the film entertaining, as it does have a good enough flow to be watchable and enough funny and heartwarming moments to be thoroughly enjoyable. It's a movie that's definitely easy to sit through and can be enjoyable with the right mindset for it. I think kids who've never read the Garfield comics will probably get a kick out of this film. However, despite this movie being watchable, that still doesn't change the fact that this film left out somewhere around 80% of what made the comics good to begin with, and I can't recommend this film to anyone who are fans of the comics, as all it'll do is just disappoint everyone who's expecting to see there favorite comic remade for the big screen, as this film does a pretty terrible job at it. But, like I said, this movie is still pretty fun to watch, so I say to those who are not big fans of the comics to check this movie out, as it's definitely enjoyable for the most part, at least in my opinion. Overall, this is a fun movie that fails miserably to replicate the comics. With that said, just remember to proceed with caution.

Jon Arbuckle buys a second pet, a dog named Odie. However, Odie is then abducted and it is up to Jon's cat, Garfield, to find and rescue the canine. Although is not as funny or creative as those animated TV shows that inspired those 2 films Garfield: The Movie is still a very sweet live action film with some good performances and if you have kids they will definitely love the movie especially for Odie cause he was a very cute little dog and for me he kinda steals the show a bit more than Garfield not that he was bad it's just that the dog did an even better job and i gotta say as far as cgi goes it was pretty cool it seemed very believable and i liked it and for that i'll give it a 10 out of 10 and i also loved the friendship between the 2 animals and that shows up a lot during the whole movie.

Garfield is a great family movie with great humor and a good storyline.Garfield is without a doubt my favorite comic strip character,I would usually read him at the back off the paper and I also use to love the series,I think that Bill Murray definitely had the perfect voice for Garfield.This movie shows you the origin of how Odie and Grfield first met,showing that Garfields owner John got the dog off Liz and Garfield being very jealous at the start.After John takes Odie to a dog show.A man called Happy Chapman wants to use Odie to advertise his dog products,Odie gets out of the house one night and goes missing and Happy Chapman finds him and does exactly what he had planned to do.Garfield see's Odie on TV but John and Liz are unaware,Garefield decides to head on a journey to save the dog who he realizes he is missing.
