Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010)

Well Deserved Praise

That was an excellent one.

I miss Jeff Goldblum. He is the tall nerdy scientist in the first film that constantly reminded the viewer not to take it all too seriously. Bette Middler is a great "new" feline villain. Her human magician sidekick is most annoying and not funny. Some of it works but most of it flies over the heads of younger children. Try to explain to a child why it is titled "The Revenge of Kitty Galore"? Shirley Bassy singing the musical "title" is a hoot! The Flying German Shepard Dogs is maybe the best scene of all. I miss the original cast and more clever voice casting. The Jim Henson puppets in the first film are far better than the (almost) total CGI in this film. For a sequel, it's not bad but I still like the first one better. It was was run to death for many years on cable and the sequel should have been done many years sooner.

I Have to say that I liked this a lot and it made me laugh. I never saw the first one so I cannot compare but this one on the TV in the background and it was so funny i had to stop what I was doing and pay full attention to it. It had a lot of funny takes on the James bond franchise and a lot of creative ways to get the dogs to do what a human spy would do. I thought it was silly but that was part of its charm. I loved the crazy pigeon and I liked the cat working with the dog together. the story was a little cliché but the creative ways they got the dogs to be spies made up for it.

When I saw a trailer for this movie I wanted to go and see it despite its bad reviews.In all the reviews I read people said that the movie sucked.What I don't understand is why does everyone always judge sequel's so badly?Not all sequels are bad,and that's a true fact.Have you ever watched Toy Story 3?That is a sequel and that movie was even better than the first.Now about Cats and Dogs 2.I liked this one better than the first and I really don't care what others may think about that.Yes its a kids movie so of course its not going to please adults.But that doesn't mean little kids are the only ones who will like it.I'm sure some teenagers like it as well.I know that's true because I'm 15 and I enjoy this movie. I'm just being honest with my review so don't let anyone stop you from seeing this movie and make you're own opinions on it.All I can say now is sit back and enjoy the adventure because it go's by fast.So remember either you like it or you don't.

When I heard that there was a sequel to atrocious Cats & Dogs I was thinking to myself why do they bother making follow ups to films that are clearly awful, but I heard it had some positive opinions, so I gave it a chance. Basically in the world where cats and dogs are enemies, most (not all) cats wanting to take over the world, and many dogs as the secret agents defeating them. One particular German Shepherd police dog Diggs (Enchanted's James Marsden), owned by his cop master Shane (Chris O'Donnell), is recruited by dog Butch (Nick Nolte) to help defeat a new threat to the world. Furless cat Kitty Galore (Bette Midler) is planning to take over the world, and after meeting feline secret agent Catherine (Anchorman's Christina Applegate) who works for MEOWS (Mousers Enforcing Our World Safety), it looks like the good cats and dogs will have to work together. Kitty, once known as Ivonna Clawyou used to work for the cat organisation as an agent, but went rogue after losing her fur and being rejected by her original owners, and she has a plan to brainwash all the dogs in the world to attack without though or reason. With a little help from the first film's super villain Mr. Tinkles (Sean Hayes) locked up in the secret cell in Alcatraz, they find out that Kitty is going to use a satellite in order to do this, but the mission is to find out where from. Eventually they find out that a fairground ride is where the satellite will be activated, and in the end the hero cats and dogs save the day, only to see the next mission coming up with the escape of Mr. Tinkles. Also starring Katt Williams as Seamus, Neil Patrick Harris as Lou, Michael Clarke Duncan as Sam, Joe Pantoliano as Peek, Sir Roger Moore as Tab Lazenby, Wallace Shawn as Calico, Rat Race's Paul Rodriguez as Crazy Carlito, Rugrats' Elizabeth Daily as Scrumptious / Patches / Catherine's Niece, Futurama's Phil LaMarr as Paws / Cat Spy Analyst, Scream's Roger Jackson as Inmate Fat Cat and Spirder-Man's J.K. Simmons as Gruff K-9. The voice casting works very well, Marsden making a likable dog hero, and Midler indeed nearly stealing the show as the devilishly raspy voiced villain cat, and the computer animation is certainly improved. I think besides these two attributes, what has improved is the story, taking a lot of ideas from James Bond, and of course spoofing the films, casting Moore as the feline M was a great idea, and there are also some actually really funny spoofs of The Silence of the Lambs, The Fly, The Terminator and Batman, so a much better part-animated comedy fantasy sequel. Worth watching!
