Garfield the movie : Recipe for failure

Some comic strips never make good movies. Garfield is definitely one of them. Cartoons have been stagnant for over 40 years thanks to lack of tools for better animation. Better tools have definitely driven animators towards easier and faster creation of their favorite charachters. Garfield is so 80's and somehow doesn't fit into the type of humor one expects these days . South Park is the benchmark for satirical humor today. Real crappy animation doesn't stop it from making a point. Garfield has all the animation but its a conecpt gone as stale as the Disco era. Yawn . The concept and execution suck so much I will never ever go to watch it . Ever. Not if my life depended on it. It sucks , it fucking sucks , that's the end of it. No garfield you are not funny any more , may be 20 years back when we had nothing else to read on the Sunday comic page we laughed at your antics. But when you do the same thing over and over and over again for 20 years , people get tired and bored. Reinvent or perish.
I implore people not to watch the movie. The end of the world is nigh.
