Don't miss our LIVE WATCH ALONG this Sunday 5/30 at 7pm EST! Anyone can join in with their own copy of the film on Disney Plus, members may comment: ruclips.net/video/nsDR0tVZsd0/видео.html
I do agree with your ideas Grace, and can't wait for the sequel, hopefully if it comes out. Will definitely watch your live! Also yes I did feel some Joker vibes to it but definitely Descendants vibes, ik that Artie ajd Cruella are both very talented but idk Cruella's clothing literally looks like it came from Evies closet, like that girl KNOWS fashion since she made the groups clothes. 10/10 Would see it 101 more times if I could!😉😊😁💜💙❤💛🐾🐾🐾🐾
Yeah I don’t really see what Joyce is talking about. I could maybe see that jasper had feelings for her, but have to rewatch it again to say the feeling was mutual on her part.
It was also a brilliant plot line. When Cruella said she was born brilliant, she wasn’t kidding. Does leave me to wonder how she eventually gets out smarted by dogs. Must be very intelligent dogs lol
I was surprised by how good the movie actually is. The Emma’s blow their roles away perfectly complementing each others wickedness and fashion choice. True it is a bit long and I could have used less montages but for a live action original by Disney that’s not a remake of something old, it’s pretty great. I give it 4 non skinned dogs out of 5
Ikr I loved it too! But I think some people didn't like it because Disney made Cruella somehow "Sympathetic" and not as evil as she was in the original. But I still loved it though, I think it was a very fun experience.
@@sophie_1133 Same I think it's refreshing too. I think you should approach this movie as a reinventing of the character and not a live action adaptation of the animated classic.
I loved how at first when cruella appears it seems like that’s the alter ego but by the end you realize that the real alter ego was estella. It could have been better explained but it was still cool when you notice it.
Cruella is AMAZING!!! Just saw it today, and I’m also very happy to saw that audiences LOVE it! As of right now, the audience score on rotten tomatoes is 96%, which makes me so happy! I just hope it DOESNT turn out to be like Dumbo or Christopher Robin in the box office.
Production cost was well over $200 million. And so far it made $185 million In order for a movie to break even it has to make about 2.5× its budget. So it's safe to say that it's a box office bomb.
Grace, I know the term isn’t as popular in the metadata as “anti-hero” is, but the term “anti-villain” needs to be used more, and describes a lot of characters, including cruella well. Anti-hero means a hero with villainous intentions, while anti-villain means a villain with heroic intentions
Yes. Batman's Mr. Freeze is the iconic example of Anti-Villian ( later adaptations just made him a straight villain though). The two terms you stated are not downright, those definitions. Example Spike Spiegal, a fictional bounty hunter is an anti-hero. While he does stop bag guys, it's not for the sake of justice but just to collect bounties on the people's heads. He does not have villainous intentions, but it's just a job for him. Vegeta from DBZ also turned Anti Hero. A person who only fought to improve himself ( and his ego got worse as a result). Once again not an outright hero, but someone who indirectly helped humanity by getting rid of threats out of self-interest. Yes in DBS he has improved and is closer if not a hero but I'm talking his DBZ version.
Yeah But by that logic, every villian is an anti villian. Everyone has heroic intentions. Nobody does something and thinks "I am evil", they all are probably like "what I am doing is right, nobody understands me, I am all alone but I can do this".
I really enjoyed the movie! Saw it this evening, it is out here in Iceland. But question. Are Pongo and Perdita siblings? Because that was what was implied, that they were Genghis's puppies. Doesn't that make it strange that they have a romance or are we assuming Cruella started a dalmation breeding program? I feel like I missed something in that.
Yeah I think so too. Maybe she did try buy some puppies from Anita and Roger since she knows about their situation and it's hard to look after 17 dalmatians and that's why they later think she stole them. I mean why would she gift Anita and Roger both their dogs only to later try to kill them?
No, cause its not what the writer of these characters wrote about in the book that started all these films and sequels, Disney is following how the character is created and jumping off of that. in the book she is a evil horrible women who doesn't care about anything but what she wants, and that includes killing and skinning animals its in her blood due to her father and his past. i hate how they try and change characters that have already been established, just to make them sympathetic. she's evil and horrible the way the writer created her in the 101 Dalmatians book. If the prequel is supposed to lead into the animated or live action movies based on the book, they should have cast Annita and Roger to look like the cartoons or the live action actors who played them.
Watched Cruella yesterday and it was amazing! My expectations were low cause I thought it was just another Disney live action remake, but this one was definitely different!
Sometimes you have to decide whether to just take the good with the bad, or not consume it at all. The movie was good, but Cruella's dark side was so watered down that she minus well not even be a villain anymore. You could even argue she isn't one at all. She's just an abandoned orphan taking what's rightfully hers from a very evil woman. It sucks because they really baited us with this. I don't get why they couldn't do everything they did in this movie AND give us the Cruella that we know.
@@jaylan7847 I haven't seen the Joker but unless his whole thing is killing animals, I don't see the correlation. People are always more uncomfortable when it's animals being abused.
And I disagree Grace. Cruella and Jasper romantically? She’s extremely wealthy! By the time we get to 101 Dalmatians she looks down upon him. She would never consider being with a master thief. Their friendship will go from employer/employee but that’s the extent.
I think that Cruella and Jasper being a couple is not as obvious as Grace wants it to be, but I think there is a relationship a lot more deep between the two than in the animated movie. I do think Jasper being in love with Cruella is more than possible, but the relationship will probably be one-sided. That said, I don't think that version of the character will treat Jasper and Horace and employees, even if she's the boss.
Just watched this with a few coworkers. We all came out of the cinema very satisfied. Much better movie than I expected. Emma Stone revived Cruella in a way I never thought was possible. Stunning visuals with witty dialogue. 9/10 for me.
I'm kinda disappointed that they made her iconic hair natural. I think it adds to her character as a ground breaking fashion icon that she'd make such a bold and unique statement/choice with her hair. She is supposed to be known for her fearless and controversial style. Making it natural really takes away from that.
Right. Even her name and last name are chosen but somehow the hair is natural lol. Maybe it adds a bit of that Disney fantasy but it would be better for the character if everything about her was by design
Hate the baroness so much i love her! Had a manager before who took credit for his subordinate's achievement. He was all praise in front of the employee but when we heard a leaked recording of the manager's meeting, he did not even mention that employee at all.
Just wait like three months and it'll likely be part of Disney+ without extra cost. My guess is the week of August 27th. That's based on the date Mulan was added, and the date that Raya and the Last Dragon will be there without added charge.
101 Dalmatians is my favorite Disney film so this is all exciting stuff and would love a sequel leading into the original story (maybe the reason she feels like she is owed the puppies is because she gave the couple the parents). The Pongo and Perdita cameo at the end was just icing on the cake for me.
Being on top of the fashion industry will probably cause her evil mentality she gets from The Baroness to kick in and become the Cruella we all know and love to hate
While I love 101 Dalmatians a lot too, I don't see how they could have the same storyline today without having problems, now that they made Cruella a somewhat sympathetic character. This movie actually goes against the idea she would even use real fur, especially dog's fur to make clothes. I think it would betray this movie to make a sequel where Cruella is looking to kill dogs.
But she successfully made “Dalmatian print” fabric without actually using the fur of actual Dalmatians so I don’t think her wanting to use dog fur would make sense
Could be that mass producing Dalmatian print fashion is expensive and time consuming so that coupled with her most likely becoming exactly like The Baroness as she gets older will probably result in her going after Dalmatian puppies
Being honest I doubt this movie will lead exactly to the sequel 101 Dalmatians, instead I can totally imagine they're or will be doing the same thing like Malafecient
Movie was very entertaining! Emma Stone was perfect in the role - I had actually never seen any of the other movies, but had heard of Cruella and would call myself a fan of Ms. Stone ever since La La Land so I bought a ticket and decided to buy it afterwards on Disney+. Didn’t stay for the end credits because I assumed there wouldn’t be one.
I absolutely loved this movie, laughed out loud 4 times at least (as I recall), didn't feel it was lengthy despite its duration without intermission at the open-air cinema, enjoyed the fashions, the script, the acting, the locations, the soundtrack, all! Gimme sequel!!!
I really loved the movie! I really hope a sequel will materialise. But I just can't get over the fact that in the end credit scene cruella gives Anita and Roger a puppy from the nest of ghengis... which means they are brother and sister... and it skeeves me out that pongo and perdita will also get 🐶🐶🐶 puppies.
you say that Aladdin is the only movie greenlighted for a sequel when actually The Lion King has been greenlighted for a sequel too directed by Barry Jenkins.
i think it´s not registering well with people because, once again, they didn´t ´´create`` a mash up of princess and villain, they only swapped an iconic villain for a more comercial sell, i know making money is the whole point, but , maybe taking away the hard edge of those classic villains might work against them, anyways, i also want a sequel, since she´ll be the main antagonist in that one, maybe then they can make her super eviiiiilllll hehehe
Grace, as a gay guy, I don’t think we should consider Artie as an LGBTQ+ character. We can assume that, but he never clarifies that! Careful with the stereotypes.
What if they did a ‘Marvel style’ plan where: Cruella (Set-Up) Disney+ series (Focused follow up with the dogs growing up along the way) 101 Dalmatians Remake
I loved this movie so much! The fashion show scene made me scream internally! Also I was sat near two girls who were quite young and at the end of the film I heard them say it was the best film they’d ever seen and it really stuck with me. Young girls seeing badass, powerful women battle it out over business and for them to love it is amazing and for that I will always be grateful for this film!
@@Thatsnotmynamee4 Will probably see both in theaters but the difference will come down to night show vs matinee cost. Does the box office take into consideration a rented theater vs a disney+ big audience for a movie night.
Just watched the movie. I really enjoyed it. I remembered what you said in the non-spoiler review it'll make you wanna go back back and watch it again. I really did feel that while watching it, I am gonna come back to it.
Just finished watching this, I wasn't really going to watch it properly, just as something in the background but it caught my attention very early and it turned out to be a superb film. The twist wasn't a huge surprise but pretty good all the same. Do I think it was setting up or even needing a sequel? Whilst I have no doubt a well-received, money-making film demands it these days, and whilst I'm sure there is scope for a possible sequel, I don't think it needs one. The end credits seemed to flow the story into the classic animated film, though I must admit I've not seen it in years so not sure just how well they marry up.
I can’t believe I went to see a movie about Cruella de Vil and her love / obsession with fur, her number 1 defining trait, was not even mentioned. It was beautiful to watch (but long) but this new take was not for me
I just watched it and thought it was quite a bit of fun! Yet I can't help but feel like this movie was so much inspired and based on the life of the famous fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood. Not only did she create a fashion label in the midst of what would become the 70s UK punk scene, but she also did it with thanks to Malcolm McLaren, who also owned his own fashionable store. I see what you're doing there, writers ;)
@@apocalypsepow I don't think it is. The movie stands on its own very much and is very enjoyable. But it does setup a sequel because, well, it's a prequel to 101 Dalmatians, really. But the movie is really fun in my opinion, I had a really good time watching.
I loved it. BUT I wouldn’t want a sequel, I don’t think. Unless they took the super super evil route that the Glenn Close’s version did. I’d rather have another Glenn Close film. 103 Dalmatians even. Or maybe “Seeing Spots” or something.
Neither the writers or the director really think better the post credit scene. Was like 'gosh, this scene is good to be a easter egg or reference to the original movie' and they're just go with. A better alternative to this will be like Roger found Pongo on a box in some random alley close to his house and in fact Anita was the only one that actually receives one of the Genghis puppies and that would give the green light for the sequel without any inbreeding issues. Next time think about it better
This felt like Disney’s Joker and I really enjoyed it!!! When Cruella was in the burning warehouse it was similar to when Joker got jumped in the alley imo. It was another moment where a character’s horrific circumstance shape them for the rest of their lives.
Baroness gets out of prison and wants her revenge. Cruella learns of the Baroness' plans to frame Cruella by creating a real dalmation coat, so she kidnaps pongo and purdita before the Baroness can. Cruella, in all her faults, is convinced Anita and Roger can't protect the dogs (especially after finding out purdita is pregnant) so she creates a new line of fur to convince the Baroness and accidently anita and roger that she's killed the dogs. She begins to acquire more dalmations to make her story seem plausible. Movie ends with 101 dalmations in Hell Hall.
i HATE DISNEY. i have always hated disney since i was about 13. this is great. really great. disney has completely redeemed itself in my eyes. enjoy it.
I was actually surprised that I liked the movie that much. I think the story and the characters were surprisingly compelling, the twists were not that original but worked great and the end felt satisfying even if predictible. I liked the editing and all the times Cruella was shown to mess with the Baroness, it was both fun and spectacular. I laughed so much when seeing Horace dressed as Cruella in the third act, such a nice surprise and a funny unexpected scene. I also liked Anita and Roger a lot, the characters were refreshing. Emma Stone was spectacular but I'm not surprised. I think she such integral to the movie being good while leaving space to the rest of the cast to shine throughout the movie. Great time watching. My only small disappointment is that the music/score, while very fun and good, could have been more impactful and present in some scenes. They were a bit shy, in my opinion. As for a sequel, while I liked then ending and nod to the animated movie with Roger and Anita, I don't think the 101 Dalmatians route would work considering this version of Cruella. They need to create another original story for her and just have Roger and Anita involved in some way, with the dalmatians. But I can't see this version going after the dogs in any way. I surely will watch another movie of this caliber.
the jailbreak scene was very reminiscent of the first Terminator movie, when Ahnold says , I'll be back to the cop at the desk, and then the next thing you see is him driving a truck? right through the front of the the police station, so that he can get inside and kill Sarah Connor
All my friends loved this movie .. one of them said it is the best movie she ever saw, I have seen it twice on Dolby theatre .. this is amazing ... this is best movie out in 2021 for now
@Beyond the Trailer What a twist and a way to build a story from just one line from the old cartoon when one of the animals mention she was a baroness. I love this movie. I love the 70 🌡of villainy
The movie is amazing! If they gonna do a sequel, then i hope that her truly evil side breaks out! Which leads to her being the dog skinning villain that we know and love! 😈😍
I went in knowing the 'twist' because some wikipedia user decided to spoil it in the character descriptions and i STILL enjoyed this movie. I'm so glad the runtime took it's time and didn't rush anything. I think this movie is easily in my top 5 reimagined Disney movies. It's everything I wanted Maleficent to be way back. I can't believe Disney had the balls to do this movie. Props to them. I need a sequel ASAP! That scene where she delivers those puppies to Anita ? Chills.
No notes. Fabulous. I feel like a changed person after finally seeing this masterpiece of a film. It definitely feels like Joker, with even more whimsy, which is kind of what Joker 2 seems to be and I’ve often thought to myself that that movie looks like it was made for me and I felt the same way watching Cruella. There’s something about stories of once regular members of society gradually becoming more and more unhinged to me that... And the added layer of glamorous fashion? I’m in heaven. As for Emma Stone’s performance, I feel it can be summed up in one simple line that isn’t even actual speech: the whimper she lets out when the Baroness pushes Cruella of the cliff. It comes across as funny because she doesn’t sound scared at all but that’s ingenious because it demonstrates her intelligence and cunning, she knew exactly what she was doing and was one step ahead of the Baroness. I knew I was going to love this movie from practically the moment it started, I’m so glad I finally got round to watching it and I would absolutely love a sequel (maybe they should make it a musical too...).
It’s interesting to see “see you soon” on the letters that came with the Dalmatians in the end credit scene. It’s like implying that Cruella will come for them when they’re grown. She’s still evil
I like the movie, just watch it on the theater. Funny thing about this movie in my country, Cruella get a NC-17 rating while A Quiet Place Part 2 get a PG-13, its funny to see a Disney Movie get a higher rating than a Horror Movie.
@@peterm.4355 US rating and my country rating is almost the same, PG-13 in the US is 13+ in my country, some exception like in US theres a R and NC-17, but in my country that 2 rating merge into one to become the 17+ rating.
@@ramonamilawaterfall3361 in my county theres only 3 rating. All Ages, PG-13, and 17+, there is no R in my country, so the R and NC-17 rating is merge into one to become 17+
I just watched Cruella on Disney Plus. It's amazing. This is an amazing start to Disney villain movies. I hope there's a sequel. I loved the storyline, the acting, visual scenery, and of course costumes hair and makeup.
Saw it at the drive in it was SO.GOOOOOD!!! I also felt it had more to offer than just setting up a sequel thanks to the Emmas performances!!! So impressed!
I love your top 5 ideas, i love Artie he is a great character, the little we saw of him, and while its a tiny step forward i still can't call him the '1st undeniable LGBTIQ Disney character' , i hope in the sequel they give him a love interest and not just obvious mannerisms and witty lines ( which i loved by the way) they worked with him because he is played by an LGBTIQ actor, he is invested in the fashion world and even though not all gay men act like that, it wasnt phony, because some do, especially if you are as fabulous as him.
I think it would be interesting for Cruella to steal the 101 Dalmatians like the original but have Anita and Roger in on it. Maybe the Baroness has some information that Cruella needs but cant obtain because visitors aren't allowed.
I'm in Southern California and wasn't planning on seeing Cruella in theaters, but was out with a friend and we decided to see it! it was much better than I expected! (Very long though...) I was surprised that the theater spaced people out but said people could take off their masks as soon as they are inside the theater!
I think after this event people wanted that coat of "Dalmatian fur" which Cruella made, but Cruella doesn't want to kill the dogs but the people pressurize her by not buying her clothes, making Hell Hall in the condition that it was in 101 Dalmatians. So Cruella is forced to dognap the puppies and attempt to make actual dog fur coats out of them.
WOW I looooved this movie!! I genuinely LOL'd so much. when she popped the cork and hit the server in the face 💀💀💀💀 I don't want jasper and Cruella together, she's too independent
The movie was way better than it had any business being. I think this is a step in the right direction when it comes to Disney live action, especially in the revisionist department. I hope Disney continues to hire more auteurs who can help reshape this department, similarly to what they’ve done with Marvel.
I actually didn’t see the twist coming at all, but I did think the baron was cruella’s father and she wasn’t adopted. Emma Thompson playing her so evil probably threw me off
Loved this movie and all my wife and I can talk about is how they could even retell 101 with this Cruella! Any sequel where Cruella doesn’t lean into her scociopathy and retell the classic does a disservice to the original story-which is a storytelling sin because that Cruella is delightfully evil-but any sequel to this movie that includes puppy killing is a disservice to this movie!! A full conundrum... 😬😬😬

Hollywood does like to jam an unnecessary love interest in, plot flow be damned, even to the detriment of the main story line. Studio exec meddling.

that was exactly my question by the end of it. incest and disney didnt seem to match
Animals have incest all the time, I had a boy cat and girl cat brother and sisters and they had a litter of kittens just fine
I THOUGHT THIS
Incest doesn’t really matter when it come to animals
How did I not realise this! It’s fine for dogs to breed with their grandparents but never with their parents or siblings. They’ll have to fix that
Wouldn't it be an amazing twist if the whole kill puppies to make coats is the Baroness's plan to defame and take down Cruella
That’s what I was thinking for a sequel… still keeping Cruella as an antihero.
Yeah I think so too. Maybe she did try buy some puppies from Anita and Roger since she knows about their situation and it's hard to look after 17 dalmatians and that's why they later think she stole them. I mean why would she gift Anita and Roger both their dogs only to later try to kill them?
Honestly I don't think cruella would kill puppies not this one. She's so amazing 👏 😍 😭
No, cause its not what the writer of these characters wrote about in the book that started all these films and sequels, Disney is following how the character is created and jumping off of that. in the book she is a evil horrible women who doesn't care about anything but what she wants, and that includes killing and skinning animals its in her blood due to her father and his past. i hate how they try and change characters that have already been established, just to make them sympathetic. she's evil and horrible the way the writer created her in the 101 Dalmatians book.

Sometimes you have to decide whether to just take the good with the bad, or not consume it at all.

I don't get why they couldn't do everything they did in this movie AND give us the Cruella that we know.
I mean personally I don't find a villain who murder puppies to be very compelling and I imagine many others feel similarly.

This is revamp just like Maleficent bot a sequel or continuation to 101 Dalmatians

I think it adds to her character as a ground breaking fashion icon that she'd make such a bold and unique statement/choice with her hair. She is supposed to be known for her fearless and controversial style. Making it natural really takes away from that.
Right. Even her name and last name are chosen but somehow the hair is natural lol. Maybe it adds a bit of that Disney fantasy but it would be better for the character if everything about her was by design
Cruella has been my favourite live action Disney remake so far anyways
Hate the baroness so much i love her! Had a manager before who took credit for his subordinate's achievement. He was all praise in front of the employee but when we heard a leaked recording of the manager's meeting, he did not even mention that employee at all.
Watching this because I ain't paying 30 bucks on d+ and my cinemas are still closed.
Damn that sucks! I hope they reopen soon!
Just wait like three months and it'll likely be part of Disney+ without extra cost. My guess is the week of August 27th. That's based on the date Mulan was added, and the date that Raya and the Last Dragon will be there without added charge.
Ooff you should, it is amazing, worth every penny.
@@apocalypsepow that is illegal I think
It’s on soap2day
just saw it in theaters with my family and didn’t see the twist coming at all!! really loved the movie!
101 Dalmatians is my favorite Disney film so this is all exciting stuff and would love a sequel leading into the original story (maybe the reason she feels like she is owed the puppies is because she gave the couple the parents). The Pongo and Perdita cameo at the end was just icing on the cake for me.
Being on top of the fashion industry will probably cause her evil mentality she gets from The Baroness to kick in and become the Cruella we all know and love to hate
While I love 101 Dalmatians a lot too, I don't see how they could have the same storyline today without having problems, now that they made Cruella a somewhat sympathetic character. This movie actually goes against the idea she would even use real fur, especially dog's fur to make clothes. I think it would betray this movie to make a sequel where Cruella is looking to kill dogs.
But she successfully made “Dalmatian print” fabric without actually using the fur of actual Dalmatians so I don’t think her wanting to use dog fur would make sense
Could be that mass producing Dalmatian print fashion is expensive and time consuming so that coupled with her most likely becoming exactly like The Baroness as she gets older will probably result in her going after Dalmatian puppies
Being honest I doubt this movie will lead exactly to the sequel 101 Dalmatians, instead I can totally imagine they're or will be doing the same thing like Malafecient
Movie was very entertaining! Emma Stone was perfect in the role - I had actually never seen any of the other movies, but had heard of Cruella and would call myself a fan of Ms. Stone ever since La La Land so I bought a ticket and decided to buy it afterwards on Disney+. Didn’t stay for the end credits because I assumed there wouldn’t be one.
I absolutely loved this movie, laughed out loud 4 times at least (as I recall), didn't feel it was lengthy despite its duration without intermission at the open-air cinema, enjoyed the fashions, the script, the acting, the locations, the soundtrack, all! Gimme sequel!!!
I really loved the movie! I really hope a sequel will materialise. But I just can't get over the fact that in the end credit scene cruella gives Anita and Roger a puppy from the nest of ghengis... which means they are brother and sister... and it skeeves me out that pongo and perdita will also get 🐶🐶🐶 puppies.
This movie was so refreshing! I genuinely loved it and fingers crossed it gets a sequel 🤞
you say that Aladdin is the only movie greenlighted for a sequel when actually The Lion King has been greenlighted for a sequel too directed by Barry Jenkins.
Cruella got rid of “Man” from HellMAN Hall because she don’t need no man. 🤯
Beyond parody at this point
i think it´s not registering well with people because, once again, they didn´t ´´create`` a mash up of princess and villain, they only swapped an iconic villain for a more comercial sell, i know making money is the whole point, but , maybe taking away the hard edge of those classic villains might work against them, anyways, i also want a sequel, since she´ll be the main antagonist in that one, maybe then they can make her super eviiiiilllll hehehe
I was so surprised how much I loved this! The fashion and music was superb. I wish Alexander McQueen could have seen this.
I actually want them to go a different direction than the animated. This Cruella is too good to not do that.
I loved this movie so much, and can’t wait to go see it again!
Grace, as a gay guy, I don’t think we should consider Artie as an LGBTQ+ character. We can assume that, but he never clarifies that! Careful with the stereotypes.
What if they did a ‘Marvel style’ plan where:
Cruella (Set-Up)
Disney+ series (Focused follow up with the dogs growing up along the way)
101 Dalmatians Remake
@Dani Masterson as a comedy series, why not? I mean we got a 101 Dalmatians animated series before
they're gonna make another cruella movie or two and then 101 dalmatians
@@DUBS720 no
@Dani Masterson and they can't be comedians because...?
i want a Cruella Cinematic Universe. NOW.
I loved this movie so much! The fashion show scene made me scream internally! Also I was sat near two girls who were quite young and at the end of the film I heard them say it was the best film they’d ever seen and it really stuck with me. Young girls seeing badass, powerful women battle it out over business and for them to love it is amazing and for that I will always be grateful for this film!
I have watched this movie 5 times already and really want to see more.
Main problem with Cruella box office is going against A Quite Place 2
This is exactly it. I think if it wasn't for that it would have done so much better.
@@Thatsnotmynamee4 Will probably see both in theaters but the difference will come down to night show vs matinee cost.
Does the box office take into consideration a rented theater vs a disney+ big audience for a movie night.
Just watched the movie. I really enjoyed it. I remembered what you said in the non-spoiler review it'll make you wanna go back back and watch it again. I really did feel that while watching it, I am gonna come back to it.
Just finished watching this, I wasn't really going to watch it properly, just as something in the background but it caught my attention very early and it turned out to be a superb film. The twist wasn't a huge surprise but pretty good all the same. Do I think it was setting up or even needing a sequel? Whilst I have no doubt a well-received, money-making film demands it these days, and whilst I'm sure there is scope for a possible sequel, I don't think it needs one. The end credits seemed to flow the story into the classic animated film, though I must admit I've not seen it in years so not sure just how well they marry up.
I don't think they marry up at all, unless Cruella had some major brain trauma between those movies.
I just watched Cruella today... it was amazing. Perfect, I respect everyone’s opinions but you’ll have to respect mine.
I can’t believe I went to see a movie about Cruella de Vil and her love / obsession with fur, her number 1 defining trait, was not even mentioned. It was beautiful to watch (but long) but this new take was not for me
I just watched it and thought it was quite a bit of fun! Yet I can't help but feel like this movie was so much inspired and based on the life of the famous fashion designer, Vivienne Westwood. Not only did she create a fashion label in the midst of what would become the 70s UK punk scene, but she also did it with thanks to Malcolm McLaren, who also owned his own fashionable store. I see what you're doing there, writers ;)
That twist came out of nowhere, well done.
I ddnt see it eighther
I should have seen it coming, and I didn’t, it was awesome. I audibly gasped in the theater
Never heard anyone other than Disney fans interested on this.
i’m interested in it
I am as well
@@apocalypsepow I don't think it is. The movie stands on its own very much and is very enjoyable. But it does setup a sequel because, well, it's a prequel to 101 Dalmatians, really. But the movie is really fun in my opinion, I had a really good time watching.
me. im not a disney fan. i loved it. i think everyone needs to give this a chance.
@@mercurywoodrose Awesome you now make all of 4 people i know, not disney fans interested in it.
Such a wonderful movie! Loved watching the Emma's go crazy on screen.
I loved it. BUT I wouldn’t want a sequel, I don’t think. Unless they took the super super evil route that the Glenn Close’s version did. I’d rather have another Glenn Close film. 103 Dalmatians even. Or maybe “Seeing Spots” or something.
Neither the writers or the director really think better the post credit scene. Was like 'gosh, this scene is good to be a easter egg or reference to the original movie' and they're just go with. A better alternative to this will be like Roger found Pongo on a box in some random alley close to his house and in fact Anita was the only one that actually receives one of the Genghis puppies and that would give the green light for the sequel without any inbreeding issues. Next time think about it better
THE LION KING is also getting a sequel and they’ve already announced Barry Jenkins as the director.
1:03 BUT I LOVED THIS MOVIEEEE 😭😭💕💕
Not a big fan of Emma Stone but damn she carried that movie! Never knew she had it in her. The last Regents Park scene was outstanding!
This felt like Disney’s Joker and I really enjoyed it!!!
When Cruella was in the burning warehouse it was similar to when Joker got jumped in the alley imo. It was another moment where a character’s horrific circumstance shape them for the rest of their lives.
I would personally love to see a cruella 2 follow the original story!
Maleficent got a sequel but I guess it’s too loose of an adaptation of Sleeping Beauty.
And it was trash
I liked maleficent but why would cruella need a sequel we know where that sequel leads
Baroness gets out of prison and wants her revenge. Cruella learns of the Baroness' plans to frame Cruella by creating a real dalmation coat, so she kidnaps pongo and purdita before the Baroness can. Cruella, in all her faults, is convinced Anita and Roger can't protect the dogs (especially after finding out purdita is pregnant) so she creates a new line of fur to convince the Baroness and accidently anita and roger that she's killed the dogs. She begins to acquire more dalmations to make her story seem plausible.
Movie ends with 101 dalmations in Hell Hall.
Even when I was young, I was never a 101 Dalmatians fan. But, I am an Emma Stone fan. So, I'll give it a try.
i HATE DISNEY. i have always hated disney since i was about 13. this is great. really great. disney has completely redeemed itself in my eyes. enjoy it.
I’m biased because I love Emma Stone, but I really enjoyed the movie. I hope it gets a sequel and I hope it does well.
I was actually surprised that I liked the movie that much. I think the story and the characters were surprisingly compelling, the twists were not that original but worked great and the end felt satisfying even if predictible. I liked the editing and all the times Cruella was shown to mess with the Baroness, it was both fun and spectacular. I laughed so much when seeing Horace dressed as Cruella in the third act, such a nice surprise and a funny unexpected scene. I also liked Anita and Roger a lot, the characters were refreshing. Emma Stone was spectacular but I'm not surprised. I think she such integral to the movie being good while leaving space to the rest of the cast to shine throughout the movie. Great time watching.
My only small disappointment is that the music/score, while very fun and good, could have been more impactful and present in some scenes. They were a bit shy, in my opinion.
As for a sequel, while I liked then ending and nod to the animated movie with Roger and Anita, I don't think the 101 Dalmatians route would work considering this version of Cruella. They need to create another original story for her and just have Roger and Anita involved in some way, with the dalmatians. But I can't see this version going after the dogs in any way. I surely will watch another movie of this caliber.
the jailbreak scene was very reminiscent of the first Terminator movie, when Ahnold says , I'll be back to the cop at the desk, and then the next thing you see is him driving a truck? right through the front of the the police station, so that he can get inside and kill Sarah Connor
Family Heirloom, that tipped me off that she could be the Baroness's biologically daughter.
All my friends loved this movie .. one of them said it is the best movie she ever saw, I have seen it twice on Dolby theatre .. this is amazing ... this is best movie out in 2021 for now
@@pacchioni985 We are going to see it for a 3rd time tomorrow in a Dolby Cinema
Never it was only at the second view that i found the clues
@Beyond the Trailer What a twist and a way to build a story from just one line from the old cartoon when one of the animals mention she was a baroness. I love this movie. I love the 70 🌡of villainy
I loved this movie! I'm surprised this movie isn't making a splash like Maleficent
It totally deserves a sequel
So
Spoilers......
.....
Pongo and Perdita are siblings and gifted to their owners by Cruella?
The movie is amazing! If they gonna do a sequel, then i hope that her truly evil side breaks out! Which leads to her being the dog skinning villain that we know and love! 😈😍
I went in knowing the 'twist' because some wikipedia user decided to spoil it in the character descriptions and i STILL enjoyed this movie. I'm so glad the runtime took it's time and didn't rush anything. I think this movie is easily in my top 5 reimagined Disney movies. It's everything I wanted Maleficent to be way back. I can't believe Disney had the balls to do this movie. Props to them. I need a sequel ASAP! That scene where she delivers those puppies to Anita ? Chills.
No notes. Fabulous. I feel like a changed person after finally seeing this masterpiece of a film. It definitely feels like Joker, with even more whimsy, which is kind of what Joker 2 seems to be and I’ve often thought to myself that that movie looks like it was made for me and I felt the same way watching Cruella. There’s something about stories of once regular members of society gradually becoming more and more unhinged to me that... And the added layer of glamorous fashion? I’m in heaven. As for Emma Stone’s performance, I feel it can be summed up in one simple line that isn’t even actual speech: the whimper she lets out when the Baroness pushes Cruella of the cliff. It comes across as funny because she doesn’t sound scared at all but that’s ingenious because it demonstrates her intelligence and cunning, she knew exactly what she was doing and was one step ahead of the Baroness. I knew I was going to love this movie from practically the moment it started, I’m so glad I finally got round to watching it and I would absolutely love a sequel (maybe they should make it a musical too...).
looked great on the big screen!
The VFX for the dogs in this film were phenomenal
It’s interesting to see “see you soon” on the letters that came with the Dalmatians in the end credit scene. It’s like implying that Cruella will come for them when they’re grown. She’s still evil
The storm over London at the end has a real ominous “Cruella will come for them” vibe
I like the movie, just watch it on the theater. Funny thing about this movie in my country, Cruella get a NC-17 rating while A Quiet Place Part 2 get a PG-13, its funny to see a Disney Movie get a higher rating than a Horror Movie.
Its really unusual for a Disney property
NC-17 and PG-13 are US ratings only.
@@peterm.4355 US rating and my country rating is almost the same, PG-13 in the US is 13+ in my country, some exception like in US theres a R and NC-17, but in my country that 2 rating merge into one to become the 17+ rating.
@@leoch5699 What makes the ratings different in your country? Like why did Cruella get a NC-17 rating?
@@ramonamilawaterfall3361 in my county theres only 3 rating. All Ages, PG-13, and 17+, there is no R in my country, so the R and NC-17 rating is merge into one to become 17+
Thanks for the video! Love the different opinions you had for the sequels! The movie was great, I hope it gets an award or awards! 🙂
I just watched Cruella on Disney Plus. It's amazing. This is an amazing start to Disney villain movies. I hope there's a sequel. I loved the storyline, the acting, visual scenery, and of course costumes hair and makeup.
Saw it at the drive in it was SO.GOOOOOD!!! I also felt it had more to offer than just setting up a sequel thanks to the Emmas performances!!! So impressed!
I love your top 5 ideas, i love Artie he is a great character, the little we saw of him, and while its a tiny step forward i still can't call him the '1st undeniable LGBTIQ Disney character' , i hope in the sequel they give him a love interest and not just obvious mannerisms and witty lines ( which i loved by the way) they worked with him because he is played by an LGBTIQ actor, he is invested in the fashion world and even though not all gay men act like that, it wasnt phony, because some do, especially if you are as fabulous as him.
I think it would be interesting for Cruella to steal the 101 Dalmatians like the original but have Anita and Roger in on it. Maybe the Baroness has some information that Cruella needs but cant obtain because visitors aren't allowed.
Totally agree with all your ideas!!! More crime fun and wicked back to back with the Emmas.
I'm in Southern California and wasn't planning on seeing Cruella in theaters, but was out with a friend and we decided to see it! it was much better than I expected! (Very long though...) I was surprised that the theater spaced people out but said people could take off their masks as soon as they are inside the theater!
I think after this event people wanted that coat of "Dalmatian fur" which Cruella made, but Cruella doesn't want to kill the dogs but the people pressurize her by not buying her clothes, making Hell Hall in the condition that it was in 101 Dalmatians. So Cruella is forced to dognap the puppies and attempt to make actual dog fur coats out of them.
Went to see it today in the UK as it has begun to end its lockdown, I think most of its showings have been pretty full this weekend, could hold well
I had high expectations because Cruella is my favorite villain. And those expecatations were shattered! What a GREAT MOVIE
Was hooked from start to finish and didn't even felt sleepy a bit.
I didn't see that twist coming, with The Baroness and Cruella being mother and daughter.
I booted up my rotten tomatoes account just to give this movie a good rating
loved this movie! hope they do another. would watch again
idea for the sequel: maybe introduce that one character from 102 dalmatians, a fur dealer/model guy? or maybe that becomes artie?
If Cruella already has her own Dalmatians at the end of the movie, i just feel like she doesnt need Anita and Rogers puppies anymore.
I just saw the movie yesterday and I freakin loved it, which is weird because I never liked 101 Dalmations and was never a fan of the character.
I really LOVED this movie! It had its issues yes, it few movies don’t. I need a sequel ASAP 💚
WOW I looooved this movie!! I genuinely LOL'd so much. when she popped the cork and hit the server in the face 💀💀💀💀 I don't want jasper and Cruella together, she's too independent
The movie was way better than it had any business being. I think this is a step in the right direction when it comes to Disney live action, especially in the revisionist department. I hope Disney continues to hire more auteurs who can help reshape this department, similarly to what they’ve done with Marvel.
I actually didn’t see the twist coming at all, but I did think the baron was cruella’s father and she wasn’t adopted. Emma Thompson playing her so evil probably threw me off
Loved this movie and all my wife and I can talk about is how they could even retell 101 with this Cruella! Any sequel where Cruella doesn’t lean into her scociopathy and retell the classic does a disservice to the original story-which is a storytelling sin because that Cruella is delightfully evil-but any sequel to this movie that includes puppy killing is a disservice to this movie!! A full conundrum... 😬😬😬
