Cats, the film adaptation of the hit musical, was recently released to generally negative reviews. This highly anticipated all-star movie currently has an 18 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The general critic consensus is that the film was a “mistake.” Cnet calls the movie “a seriously unique disasterpiece”. Creepy CGI cat-human characters, repetitive music and an overall failure of adapting the musical to the silver screen are all criticisms that have been thrown at the movie.
改編自熱門音樂劇的電影《貓》已于近期上映，卻收到了大量差評。這部備受期待的全明星陣容電影目前在爛番茄網(wǎng)站上只有18%的新鮮度。大多數(shù)影評人都認為，這部電影是個“錯誤”?？萍假Y訊網(wǎng)稱這部電影是“相當獨一無二的糟糕作品”。令人毛骨悚然的電腦特效合成的“貓人”、不斷重復的音樂以及將音樂劇搬上銀幕的整體失敗，都在影片的差評之列。

Cats has made only $6.5 million (45.5 million yuan) in its first weekend at the box office. Universal removed Cats from its For Your Consideration campaign page, where the studio advertizes its films for Emmy Award consideration, days after the movie’s release.
《貓》上映首周末票房僅為650萬美元（約4550萬人民幣）。電影上映幾天后，環(huán)球影業(yè)便將該片從其官網(wǎng)上的“頒獎季推介影片”頁面中刪除，該公司會在這一頁面上宣傳自家有望角逐艾美獎的影片。

Despite the critical reception, Cats has received two award nominations including one Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for Beautiful Ghosts, co-written by Taylor Swift.
盡管口碑表現(xiàn)不佳，《貓》仍獲得了兩項獎項提名，其中，泰勒·斯威夫特參與創(chuàng)作的《美麗幻影》獲得了金球獎最佳原創(chuàng)歌曲的提名。
