What was the budget on this film? Couldn't Disney afford to shoot real dog scenes? It just looked amateurish, some of the worst CGI I've seen, and they cheaped out on the soundtrack, too. If you can't afford original artists like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, maybe choose other songs rather than covers.
And what market was Disney aiming for? The family market, so let's watch a pack of dogs kill the mother? Shades of Kim Jong-il, look away kids.
That said, it has big movie spectacle moments with some decent action scenes, and the costume design is to die for, which pretty much sums up the lame plot. The two Emmas trying to out evil each other becomes tiresome after a while, while Cruella's two dumb but lovable sidekicks (usually played by mice or other cute Disney mammals) steal the show.
This is mindless, derivative escapism for big kids with nothing better to do, and I regret that I didn't have anything better to do. Definitely a lockdown movie, maybe worth 5 stars, but I've giving it one because 7.4 is just a ridiculous score for an juvenile melodrama.
