Which article are you evaluating?
Cats (2019 film)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it was in the lit of C-class articles and it is a movie that I have seen, as well as a musical I am familiar so I will be able to have an accurate judgement of the article.

Evaluate the article
The lead section gives a good overview of the topic, it differentiates it from the animated movie which it could be confused with, and touches on all the main aspects of the movie: the cast, inspiration/source material, filming information, and critical response. It is not too long or wordy so it does a good job of introducing the article.

It seems to be in a neutral point of view, even though the movie received terrible feedback from critics, the article is not completely negative and talks about some of the strengths in physical effects as well as cast performance. In mentioning these, it does make it clear that the movie was heavily disliked even by fans of the source material which is an important consideration to keep in mind.

It has a lot of sources and all the information seems to be cited correctly, in any part where it talks about criticism it gives direct quotes or paraphrased evidence to be clear that it is not writer opinion which is a strength.

The only image it has is of the poster, I think that because they spend a lot of time talking about CGI and uncanny visuals in the movie, they should include visuals of that to help make the picture more clear and so readers know what they are referring to.

There are minimal conversations in the talk page, just a few links to other sources and "see also" websites, nothing much about edits being made other than minor grammatical edits.

Overall, the article seems like it does a good job, but in terms of organization I think having the list of songs closer to the plot would help give readers a better idea of how the musical goes chronologically, and adding more images especially when talking about visual effects would help it a lot.
