Critics Consensus

This sequel to the live-action 101 Dalmatians is simply more of the same. Critics say it also drags in parts, potentially boring children, and that it's too violent for a G-rated movie.

Although Glenn Close's performance is once again the main standout throughout the film's run time, everything else was very dull and boring.

The only thing I remember about '102 Dalmatians' is the climax in which Cruella DeVil is baked into a cake. The film is literally worth watching just for that scene.

Disney's "102 Dalmatians" is a mixed bag of cinematic treats and missed opportunities. While it retains the adorable charm of its predecessor, the film struggles to recapture the magic that made the original so beloved. The performances from Glenn Close as the iconic Cruella de Vil and the lovable Dalmatians themselves are undeniably entertaining, but the storyline feels disjointed and lacks the cleverness of the first film. Additionally, the humor falls flat at times, and the plot veers into predictability. Nevertheless, the movie still offers a fun and visually appealing experience for younger audiences, even if it falls short of living up to the brilliance of its predecessor.

I can understand why the critics really don't like this one. The biggest issue is that it's basically a rehash of the first movie. Cruella wants to kill puppies for a coat. I think they were going for a Freddy Krugger style bad guy but it just doesn't work. Plus the new side characters in this is kind of annoying. But just because I sorta agree with the critics reason for hating this doesn't mean I hate it. True, it's just the same story reheated in the microwave of a mind control subplot but it has some charm and it is funny. It's a rehash but sometimes leftover hash can be tasty. And this is a entertaining rehash. Flawed but a fun watch.

The first film was a nice one, but it is not as good as the wonderful animated classic which I found more poignant and endearing. This sequel is inferior, but not bad at all. Sure the slapstick is too much, the script has its weak spots and the plot is a tad uninspired. But the dogs are very cute here, and Eric Idle is hilarious as the macaw. The film is nice to look at with stylish cinematography and eye popping costumes(especially Cruella's), and the music is pleasant. The acting is mostly very good, Ioan Gruffudd is appealing and Gerard Depardieu while he has given better performances has fun as Cruella's accomplice. But the best asset, as it was with the first film, is the amazing Glenn Close in a deliciously over-the-top performance as Cruella, even more evil than she was previously. Overall, nice. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Alternate Ending

When the only good thing about your movie is Glenn Close screaming like a crazy person, the more vigor she brings, the more worthy the film is of bothering with.

There is no reason for this sequel to the already-pointless 1996 live action remake of the classic Disney cartoon to exist, and the filmmakers fail to come up with any convincing pretense of justification.
