As of this writing, this isn't out yet, but based on the trailers, it looks like it's going to be a "meh" movie.
First of all, Garfield just doesn't "look" right to me. They've taken the lighter-yellow part of his face and turned it into a weird mustache looking thing. It's distracting. He looks even less like a cat than he ever has before. Maybe it was intentional, I don't know, but if you look up images of him from his previous movies, they all look better than this one.
Then there's the dialogue. If they put the "best parts" into the trailer as usual, then the rest of it is going to be absolute crap. I was glad to hear Chris Pratt was going to be in it, because he's theoretically perfect for the part; but he needs good writing behind him. He doesn't appear to have it here.
Then there's the story. Garfield is supposed to be about a lazy cat who hates Mondays and loves lasagna. In this thing he's going on a big heist with his long lost, street smart dad. It looks like they're going for Illumination-style mania, and based on past experience, you really need Chris Meladandri to pull that off effectively.
All of this, plus the oft-proven fact that any movie that has the word "Movie" in its title is bound to be terrible, adds up to one big turd. For the sake of the bills I have to pay, I hope I'm dead wrong on this.
