Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Bearing only a tenuous connection to the original, "102 Dalmatians" is a cynical attempt to make money. Like many sequels, it's just a caricature. Glenn Close still puts on a neat performance as Cruella DeVil, making her like Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada", but that's it. Probably the most ridiculous scene is when Disney gives itself a plug: the dogs watch "Lady and the Tramp". The cast members who didn't return were lucky to have not returned. Completely bland.As for work since then, Kevin Lima directed "Enchanted" (starring Amy Adams as a princess sent to New York).

I liked this as a child. Today, not so much. That song in the opening credits is annoying. The whole joke where the parrot thinks he's a dog is not funny. The scene where the dogs are watching Lady and the Tramp and inter-cuts between that and the couple having spaghetti and meatballs made me want to vomit. Remember it was spoofed in Hot Shots 2? That scene was funny, but not this.Also what kind of person takes their dogs to go see a puppet show? These people act like the dogs are human.Also, when Ioan's character gets arrested, how come his dogs get arrested with him? What kind of world is this?And as for the scene where Cruella gets baked into a cake, I'm surprised that she didn't get burnt to death in the oven.However, I will praise Glenn's performance. She IS Cruella.

I like this film because of what Glenn Close has done in her performance of Cruella De Vil. The movie was great, but it's a little bit too long. I never got bored or fell asleep during my time seeing this movie, because I normally don't mind sitting there for two hours or so watching the movie I am watching, and this one was definitely one of them. I liked Eric Idle from the Monty Python team doing the voice of Waddlesworth. I liked the two human leads in this movie, Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans. I especially like Alice Evans as Chloe Simon, she is lovely in all her scenes. Tim McInnerny as Alonzo, Cruella's loyal servant, proves that he has a talent for comedy here as he did on "Blackadder". Gerard Depardieu - I didn't really know about his performance as the French fur designer. But one of the greatest performances that I like in the whole movie is Glenn Close as Cruella. Her costumes are great, bigger than life. This is a way cool movie in a few ways.Sadly, I'm giving it 5/10.

Arguably this is a very good "sequel", better than the first live action film 101 Dalmatians. It has good dogs, good actors, good jokes and all right slapstick! Cruella DeVil, who has had some rather major therapy, is now a lover of dogs and very kind to them. Many people, including Chloe Simon, owner of one of the dogs that Cruella once tried to kill, do not believe this is true. Others, like Kevin Shepherd (owner of 2nd Chance Dog Shelter) believe that Cruella DeVil HAS changed. Meanwhile, Dipstick's mate, has given birth to three cute dalmatian puppies! Little Dipper, Domino and Oddball...Starring Eric Idle as Waddlesworth (the hilarious macaw), Glenn Close as Cruella herself and Gerard Depardieu as Le Pelt (another baddie, the name should give a clue), this is a good family film with excitement and lots more!! One downfall of this film is that is has a lot of painful slapstick, but not quite as excessive as the last film. This is also funnier than the last film.Enjoy "102 Dalmatians"! :-)
