the film bears such a minimal resembalance to the comics I might be able to enjoy it as a film about another cat called garfield... but as something based off the comics? nuh-uh and you're right the cartoon series was ick =s

I thought the cartoon rocked, because it perfectly conveyed how I honestly thought Garfield acted. If he's so lazy, why's he so active in this? I wish they'd do the cartoon, except without the cheesy "Lets make everyone happy" bits.
I saw the advertisement poster in the theatre a few weeks ago, automatically didn't like the idea. They should just leave the comics alone and move on to other things. Anyone that hasn't read the comics will see the movie, and if they don't like it theres a good chance that they'll be discouraged from reading the comics.
Mmmm....garfield was pretty cool, but odie was the best. I still have my odie stuffed animal from when I was like 7.... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

There has been a severe lack of original movies lately, and it really pisses me off. *cough*disney*cough*. Youd think they could at least buy some ideas.

hollywood has learned that it's much more profitable to rehash old ideas than to think of new ones from scratch... name recognition = instant ticket sales! even if the name is the only thing the new movie and old idea share, not style or character... (garfield, cat in the hat, scooby doo, etc...)

Garfield never speaks! He only thinks. We hear his thoughts, we do not hear his speech. He only "speaks" when he yawns, meows, or screeches.
Personally, I'm a Garfield nut, it being a great part of my philosophy of life. So naturally, I'm very interested in this!
Speaking of Garfield. Does anyone remember the neighbor of Jon. He had a mustache and this is when Garfield was uber, ugly the originals before he got pooky the bear. I don't remember his name but I remember seeing some of them and I was just wondering what happened to him becuase he was a regular in there.
if they screw this up (which they appear to be well on their way to doing) i will show them the true purpose of claws, fangs and other naturally occuring sharp objects, such as fighters swordchucks (which are far too unintelligent to have come from anything resembling intelligent, or otherwise, life)
forgive me, i had to put a <a href='http://www.nuklearpower.com' target='_blank'>8-bit theater</a> reference into it ... don't ask, click ... it might ease the pain
That trailer's Garfield's voice hurts me in my brain. What happened to the nice voice of the guy who did the cartoons? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

...All other Disney movies from 1995 forward suck though (cartoon or otherwise).

"That was so bad I think you gave me cancer!"
What the HELL was that? This looks worse than Scooby Doo, and I didn't think that was possible!
Ditto.

Oh, yeah I saw they were making a Scooby Doo 2. An absolute travesty.
