Despite The Garfield Movie‘s low critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s a near-perfect adaptation of the original comic strips. A few weeks into its theatrical release, the 2024 Garfield movie has brought in over $100 million at the global box office but has only managed a 36% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This seems to imply that the film failed to do what it set out for and that another Garfield flop has been added to the long line of adaptations. However, it’s because it perfectly captured Jim Davis’ work that The Garfield Movie hasn’t pleased critics.
