Netflix users threaten to cancel membership after adding 'worst film ever made'

The 2019 movie was panned by critics and viewers alike

Some Netflix subscribers have threatened to cancel their memberships after the 'worst film ever made' was added to the streaming service.

If you're a subscriber to Netflix - and let's face it, who's not - then you'll know it can be difficult to know what to put on.

Scrolling through each category and finding something to watch is never easy, so seeing what others are talking about online is always helpful.

And with so many films and TV shows to watch on Netflix, there is of course going to be a few duds once in a while.

The 2019 movie Cats joined the Netflix roster on Tuesday (January 16), a movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical.

When you hear the names that feature in Cats, you'd think it has all the ingredients for a hugely successful film.

The likes of Taylor Swift, James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen and Rebel Wilson all star in Cats.

Despite all the star-studded cast, it was ballet dancer Francesca Hayward making her on-screen debut taking centre stage for the Tom Hooper-directed flick.

However, Cats has often been dubbed as the 'worst film ever' by both critics and viewers alike.

Cats has a shockingly low 19 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it 'certified rotten'.

The New Yorker's Antony Lane wrote: "However amazing the trickery may be... the characters fall awkwardly into the crack between animal and human, and the plot, which requires them to sing and dance in competition with one another, is scarcely more convincing."

Dallas King, from Flick Feast, penned: "It is unlikely anyone will be feline good after witnessing this cat-astrophe because ultimately it was the morbid curiosity that killed the Cats."

While Next Best Picture's Daniel Howat quipped: "At best, it’s an ambitious misfire. At worst, it’s straight-up nightmare fuel that will haunt generations. Enter into the world of the Jellicles at your own peril."

It wasn't all bad from the critics though, as The New Yorker's Richard Brody said: "The movie Cats is-forgive the critical jargon-pretty good."

And Stephen Romei, from The Australian, added: "While the performances are brilliant and the songs are great, the story isn't as strong as it could be."

After finding out that Cats has dropped on Netflix, many subscribers have taken to social media to share their thoughts.

One joked: "Definitely cancelling my subscription now."

Another added: "Worst movie of all time."

While a third quipped: "For once, I'm happy you guys stopped password sharing."

Cats is available to stream on Netflix now.
