Chris Pratt has caused widespread
condemnation and
horror in Tinseltown with his 'un-Garfield-esque' impression of the
beloved orange feline. Fans who were once over the moon to see Garfield on the silver screen once again are
staggered by the baffling casting choice. Pratt's 'generic' and 'announcer-like' delivery has been speculated to ruin the once promising film, which Hollywood insiders thought had the makings of
an MCU-style franchise.
Fans are already voicing their displeasure:
[Garfield's] supposed to sound smart, grumpy, lazy, unamused. But with Chris Pratt as is VA, he just sounds like a spokesperson for sparkling water. It just doesn't work for me.
The movie looks gorgeous, I'm sure it'll do well. But the voice acting from Chris Pratt is 100% gonna take away from the value of the movie.
I was disappointed in the trailer because instead of eating Lasagne when Jon first meets Garfield, he’s eating pizza.
You had one job 😭
Garfield always gives off a massive, "Im tired, bored and i hate mondays" attitude and Chriss gives of a "im energised happy and enthusiastic" mood which is almost the complete opposite
Nick Offerman would be a good Garfield
Garfield lovers everywhere are already circling a petition demanding a
return of Bill Murray to his career-defining role, either in a revival of the earlier franchise or as the dubbed-in voice in post for this most recent film.
However, movie buffs and experts have pointed out that the Garfield film will finally reveal Garfield's
tragic backstory of parental abandonment, giving the film a bit more heart and a chance at redemption. Some are saying that if the directors can recast the title role, it will be certain to snag
Oscar gold!
