I don’t like how Disney is trying to make their classic villains “Sympathetic” and deep because they missed the ponit why people liked them in the frist place. Cruella de Vil was ranked 39 out 50 on AFI’s greatest American film villains of all time,not becuse shes complex, but because she’s so uncomplex. Everyone loves the extreme lengths she’s going to kill those puppies and how crazy she is. It’s the same reason why pepole love yzma or why the wicked witch of the west is number 4 on that list, just pure cartoonish evil. My problem with this(and maleficent) is that they have to change recon and change so much of the story to fit there fake soulless message of girlpower that they might as well make it a new character or have no connection with the original. But it doesn’t matter people are going to pay watch this shit because “I KNOW WHAT THAT IS” and “Hate watching “

[@NoelLovesMakeup]

Thank you I 100% agree. The fact they are trying to make a women who steals and skins puppies for fur coats sympathetic genuinely makes me so fucking mad. Cruella wants her puppy coat and she’s gonna get it.

[@moxiemaxie3543]

They don't actually care about their characters. Its as simple as they want to find reasons to make money without working too hard on fresh ideas. Its easier to just piggy back. Thats all. Nothing more

[@EvilPhantasm]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Thank You!!! Not every villain needs a complicated backstory or a reason to justify their wicked behavior.

[@thefirstbourne149]

I don’t think I mind seeing this one be sympathetic, since this time it does look like it’s only sympathetic enough, and it’s not the thing where Maleficent, she’s turned completely into a good guy for some reason. You don’t need to even retcon the good guys’ story just for that.

[@yeoldegaymer1906]

Some of the best villains in literature, television, comics, and movies are the sympathetic ones. On the plus side no one is forcing you to watch the new take, and the original Cruella is still around for people and yourself to enjoy. Nothing wrong for creating something for an audience that wants something a little more complicated, no one is making you watch it and no one is erasing what came before. If you hate Disney, that's awesome, the nice thing is that everyone can like different things, and the world would be a damn boring place if every form of media was made to appeal to every single person on the planet. Not all media is made for you.

Too hung up? Look, this is possibly better, but so many of these remakes have actually been praised by critics and some audiences as of late, and it didn’t do anything that much different from the other ones since they just tried things randomly different at first, then when that wasn’t working, they just made shot-for-shot remakes of a lot of things.

This is Maleficent all over again, except Cruella acts like a tone down Harley Quinn instead of being Cruella.

[@nichescenes]

Sorry guys, I'm usually on board with ya'll but watching this review before seeing the movie made me realize the circle jerk of nostalgic people online hating it is overboard. Ya'll were at least fair given your feelings and didn't force yourself to not like it, but most came in thinking its pointless then didn't like it. Some of ya'll critic didn't fall the same for me such as length, it was 2 hours and yea they could shave off the beginning and a couple of steering scenes etc. but overall I could feel the A B C plot and never felt like I was at the ending in part B. It was all structured normally and as Korey said, blended well using music. To be on Martin's side, yeah the music can be hit or miss depending on how manipulative you think it is, since some equate fun music to oh that must mean I'm having fun...The music as Korey said, fit the tone well for me and was only used when necessary. As Korey said the hair thing and dogs etc. all seemed goofy if you thought about it too long but It was goofy in a charming way harkening back to it being a cartoonized world and not so serious, almost fairy tale like. I assure you they were going for that with all the silly ways people reacted to different events. Stuff like her personality switch were explained. She always had a dissociative personality, and it was a large theme spelled out in the movie down to her "SPLIT" hair. As a child she tried to be "NICE" like her good mother told her but her "BAD" side always came out. She embraced her bad side when she gets in trouble. By the 101 movie her bad side will take over completely.

[@jdraven0890]

[@kevinlam4550]

I think they don't want to admit it, but they did let their love for 101 Dalmatians get in the way of reviewing this movie independently. Most of their arguments for not liking this movie are based on the 101 Dalmatians references that they didn't think were necessary. This movie should not be a rental. You guys gave Mulan a Rental and Cruella is way more memorable than Mulan, which was extremely unforgettable. Cruella at least had good performances in Emma Stone and Emma Thompson. Mulan had absolutely no memorable performances. This deserves at least a high rental to a low matinee by their standards. Everyone here is just saying how Disney is not original and how they keep making anti-hero movies from past villains, but everyone LOVES Joker. It's not technically original. It's not technically canon and is herald as a stand-alone movie. It's a reimagining of the character. Both stories are character pieces. Is Cruella as good as Joker? No, but i can't see how people can forgive Joker for not being "original material", but can't do the same for Cruella. Just hypocrisy.

It was common practice to just put your pet dog down when on extended vacation because it was cheaper then finding someone to watch it. Also to kill off working dogs that weren't useful anymore. In that context, you can see how someone wouldn't give a shit about puppy lives over fashion careers. In her perspective they were just another animal like a mink or a rabbit. Make it a clash of generations thing instead of trying to make a stupid revenge story.

[@shelbymckinney8888]

I'm pretty sure the "its was a different time" excuse doesn't work because they are domestic animals. Even back then she would be considered a monster!

Jeez I came up with an idea of a Cruella film where it focuses on a group of temps, and Ella is in the group but she's a side character for most of it. It was more of a thriller concept where increasingly sinister things start happening, from vandalism of projects to people vanishing and the main character starts to suspect Ella, by the end they get evidence of her being responsible and tries to warn the boss but finds out to late that Cruella has taken over because the boss had "retired" and left her in charge resulting in a dark ending where the main character disappeared in the back of Jasper and horaces van and it's made clear they were taken care of. Leaving Cruella in charge and getting away with it Scott free and meeting her new assistant Anita, leading into the 101 dalmatian movie. Obviously there's a lot of detail I didn't add in that's just a brief description but still I came up with something that would actually show how ruthless, smart, cunning and downright evil Cruella is. I actually want to see the true malice of the VILLAIN Cruella Deville, not a anti hero come on embrace the villainy Disney!

The sound of the truck horn when Cruella honks at the jail is the same sound as her car horn in the animated feature. Horace compares dog owners looking like their dogs in the same way that Pongo does in 101 Dalmatians (1961). Emma Stone was not allowed to portray Cruella smoking as she had previously been since Disney had banned characters being shown smoking in its films since 2007. Despite being an English character, Cruella de Vil has never been played by an English actress. Every actress has been American with two exceptions. Victoria Smurfit who played De Vil in Once Upon a Time (2011) is Irish and Michelle Gomez who voiced De Vil on 101 Dalmatian Street (2018) is Scottish. Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Emma Thompson, Julianne Moore, and Demi Moore were all in the running to play the role of Baroness von Hellman. Eventually, Thompson ended up taking the part of the Baroness. Like many subtle references in the movie to its original source material, young Cruella's blots on her permanent record resemble Dalmatian spots. The first film in the 101 Dalmatians series not to receive a G rating from the MPAA. The Baroness von Hellman played by Emma Thompson is a German title not a English title. Her character was inspired by the evil Baroness Galiana von Chatouiller from The Enchanted kingdom of Sir Thomas Tattletale (2017) The dog-loving Cruella DeVil is played by Emma Stone, who in the beginning of her acting career voiced a dog in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody: Crushed (2006). This is the third live action adaptation from the 101 Dalmatians franchise, and the first to be a prequel. Emma Stone is only 5 years younger than her character's adopted mother (Emily Beecham) and 30 years younger than her character's birth mother (Emma Thompson). When Cruella reads her birth certificate, it reveals her birthday is August 7th 1952. Estella last name appears on an offer letter from Liberty. It was addressed to Estella Miller. This film marks Emma Stone's second time using a British accent, after The Favourite (2018).

The movie was enjoyable, but as an origin story it doesn't make sense. The Cruella at the end still had compassion and there are no dots i could connect that would lead me to believe she turned into the psycho from the original. Her mother on the other hand is perfect, she was channeling OG Cruella for sure.

Mark 25:39. Martin, right! His accent sounded like another British one among many. His fashion didn't set him apart either. Since he didn't kiss anybody "openly", was he speaking in code? How else would we know? We were just supposed to accept their word on it? 🤔 In "Star Trek: First Contact", the actor that played, "Lt. Hawk", didn't know that his character was meant to br their first one. His brother told him, after reading a character profile in a game or on a trading card!

Could have easily been a prequel to the live-action movies especially since they're portraying a YOUNG Cruella and the time setting is the 1960s which lines up perfectly from the other movies since you have a thirty year gap. She was like in her 50s in those other movies whereas Cruella is like in her 20s here? Yeah, so I'm not sure why they didn't go this route instead of pulling a BATMAN and just rebooting the timeline. Better yet, this could have been a sequel set many years later and this is Cruella's daughter and Emma Thompson's character could have been tweaked to be the older Cruella and they compete against each other.

Movies like this make us appreciate Glenn Close as Cruella even more.
