While it's no surprise to anyone that Tom Hooper's adaptation of the hit musical Cats didn't receive rave reviews, it is surprising quite how united critics were in trashing the film into oblivion.

After all, while Cats is in no way a good movie, it is at least weird enough to be somewhat interesting, yet apparently only enough for 19% of critics to give it a thumbs up.

Cats seemed destined for mixed reviews in the 30-50% region, but surprisingly enough it actually ended up one of the worst-reviewed wide releases of 2019. Ouch.

Expect a Showgirls-esque re-evaluation in a decade-or-so, though.
