Extremely enjoyable and entertaining watch. The cast is wonderful and the on screen chemistry is really impressive. Emma Stone does a terrific job in the role as Cruella. Emma Thompson also gives a wonderful performance. The story is really good drawing you in quickly and holding your attention through to the end. The production as a whole is top notch. This is a film that is very re-watchable one or twelve times. Its a fabulous watch for all ages.

What a lovely watch this turn out to be. I reckon I had rather low expectations, however this has exceeded anything I could’ve ever hoped this movie would be. Emma Stone is simply brilliant as a Cruella, brilliant. The overall tone of the movie, as music and costume design were all fantastic. The manner in which the tied the very end of the movie to the original one was also quite lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed it, highly recommend. Simply wicked, pun intended~

Hey, i really enjoyed CRUELLA, Emma Stone is fantastic in the lead role, Emma T was also excellent here. I like Mark Strong, he’s always a good presense.. such cute dogs too!. The costumes are fabulous and the soundtrack swings along, a whole lot of fun. There’s some amazing cinematography too, eg the long sweeping shot into Liberties was awesome. Only thing that really grated for me was the littler of her 2 henchmen sounded like a bad impression of Bob Hoskins, i found him very annoying! The movie is quite long but it’s a good story so who cares.. i could watch Emma Stone all night!! A Great watch :)x
WOW! Emma stone was EXTRAORDINARY! I had my doubts about her as the lead but she blew me away! From her husky voice and wicked cackle to one of the best devilishly crooked smiles I’ve ever seen. A little Harley Quinn meets Maleficent meets The Devil Wears Prada! Cruella is truly one of the best origin stories to date, a fantastically talented cast, a surprisingly badas* soundtrack and insanely amazing costumes! It was rebellious, fun and nostalgic, with eccentric characters, crazy schemes and clever plot twists, it will keep you guessing up until the very end! Don’t forget to watch mid credit scene…its perfect! This movie made me smile I feel it will receive Awards all around for sure! Thanks pw!

Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are really good in this one. The moral of the story is that Cruella was not really evil then, at the opposite of the puppy drowning / fur coat wearing vilain she’s portrayed to be in all other novels. Our generation loves to glamorize vilain, criminals, especially those bordering on madness like the Joker and Cruella. I guess that formula will work for Loki as well… As enjoyable as it is nihilistic.
Emma Stone hit it out of the ball park!! I also enjoyed the soundtrack! I was in grade school in the 1960’s I listened to a lot of the music that was played in this movie.
WOW! Maybe it’s so good because so little new & good has been released this year, but I loved it! Great acting and story line felt a bit Disney dark… music was great, supporting cast amazing and well, the dogs were adorable too. Thank you, merci, efharisto, gracias et al. uploaders.

Starts off very well with her childhood, and various sections of the movie where she’s a designer are fantastic. But then the character just starts to fall apart, and the movie seemed more like it was trying to cash in on a bit of the Harley Quinn psycho girl trend. By the end it was rather disappointing.

Though I’m in the minority here, this version of Cruella didn’t remind me at all of the unredeemable intent and sheer repulsion Cruella was made with and clearly possessed in the original 101 Dalmatians and the books by Dodie Smith. (By the way, Cruella deVile her was a play on THE WORDS “Cruel Devil” to mean she had NO redeeming qualities whatsoever and was completely reprehensible). I found the constant narration imposing.Emma Stone’s forced, fake English accent unbelievable. A lot of the props are from the wrong time period as well. Whatever happened to the puppies?? Cruella was all about cruelty, and the puppies. For me, and this is only my opinion, it failed spectacularly. I still recommend everyone watch for themselves and decide.
Didn’t really get in to this. I had high expectations for a storyline that wasn’t fulfilled. Love Emma Stone. As she’s also the actress sweetheart type that Disney wants their image projected around, but in my opinion, anyone could have played this role. Maleficent was better.

This movie was an hour longer than it needed to be, alot of self-narration scenes are DRAGGGGED out far too long and The film has a total of 5 (CGI) dogs in it, 3 of them being Dalmatians. Watchable sure, although definitely not RE-watchable.
Version 9 sound was good. One time I had the same issue and guess what, laptop connected to one of bluetooth devices without my knowledge or permission (obviously). haha So check that out. Hope your issue fixed soon.
Wink your getting kissed right on the lips I don’t care where it’s been LMBCO!, It wasn’t as great as I hoped to be honest 3.5. Def good for a one time watch.
5/5 - It’s a blockbuster. It’s been a long time since we’ve had one. Completely worth the watch and would recommend it for everybody. It has everything; mystery, action, intrigue, comedy, etc. Watchable over and over and that’s the very definition IMO of a blockbuster. It’s going to sell tons of DVDs and merchandise. I’m going to watch it again and I’ll be one of those buying the DVD when it comes out. Enjoy!
Ok. The movie is funny at times. The plot is fine for what it is. Interesting enough. But… this wasn’t Cruella. They wanted to do a villain origin, without making her a villain. Why? Why even bother? Kinda just seems like an excuse for a baller soundtrack.

Cruella is the psychopathic antagonist to the protagonists. Disney is very stupid to show her as the protagonist with normal human emotions. This is the crap they will show you for this generation. Let’s hope the next generation will have intelligent movies again.

I loved this!!! A very refreshing prequel for Cruella Devil. The cast was in sync with each other, so much chemistry. Including the dogs used. Thought I did ‘spot’(pun intended) a few out of sync dalmatian spots, thereby, figuring out they definitely used more than 3 dogs. While studying the credits, I found they used 6 dalmations, and, just as many each for the tiny pups. The plot twist, and, post credits easter egg scene leaves the story open for a sequel to this film. I’m excited to see how Pongo and Perdita bring their human’s together.
This was incrredible! Way more than Dalmations!! The soundtrack is a musthave in my library, good stuff! The Emma’s did awesome work, and this keeps your attention 100% of the time! Well worth the watch!
Forget the spoty puppies and forget the disney cartoon. This is a batshit crazy punk rock neo-noir movie with a dark sense of humour and razor sharp wit.
Fashion and Disney vilains lovers, prepare to be WOWED!!Cool references to the ‘’101 dalmatians’’ movie. The music, filming and story telling reminded me of the ‘’Suckerpunch’’ movie. I got surprisingly impressed by the pop modern side of the production and the roles of Cruella’s friends. Also, cool reference end.5/5 for me!!
Yes, it’s Mark Strong and he’s a fine British actor. Rather surprised to see him in this movie with not a lot of screen time. If you’ve not familiar with Mark Strong, you should check him out! He usually plays cops or secret agents and a doctor. I don’t think I could ever confuse him with Stanley Tucci, Mark Strong is 6’2” and Tucci is 5’8”, I guess it’s the bald head that made you think of Tucci.
What a great flick! Worthy of an Oscar nomination or three, especially for Emma Stone’s performance! An easy 4-1/2 out of 5 Stars and a highly recommended viewing from me!
Im FLIPPING ELATED RIGHT NOW I don’t know It seems like Primewire has been Gracing me with these New releases I Mean Damn But Aside from that This was One Movie for the Ages
Soundtrack is top notch. When you got that Disney money you can shell out for all the classic’s other labels can’t afford. Acting was enjoyable as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this except for the soundtrack. At times it was jarring. Whoever did that should never be allowed to do another one. There were a few great Stone songs,one super horrible rendition of the Beatles “Come Together” and other tunes that didn’t fit. The CGI of the little dog wasn’t too believable at times. Otherwise, I loved it. Cool castle and costumes.
Extremely enjoyable and entertaining watch. The cast is wonderful and the on screen chemistry is really impressive. Emma Stone does a terrific job in the role as Cruella.

This was absolutely fantastic! I see Oscar nods on this one.
delightfull villan origin story and emma stone shines as cruella!! 5/5
great fashion and acting. well said.

I guess that formula will work for Loki as well… As enjoyable as it is nihilistic.
I really liked this movie and so did my kids.
They did a brilliant job of re-imagining the story… They basically “J.J.Abrams” it.
So much of it perfectly replicated the original Disney that at times I wasn’t sure where the new moments began and the old ended.
Stone WAS Cruella! Her transformation was pretty incredible.
Loved it!
Awards will be handed out for this one.
… Not sure what the deal was with all the CG animals though.
Saying that they “J.J. Abramsed” this film is not a good thing since he’s not a very liked director on the internet.
Pshaw!
I disagree.
Disagree all you want it’s all over the internet and all over Twitter.
Your opinion won’t change my review or my own opinion. You’re just wasting your breath here… I like Abrams. ;)
I like Abrams too!
I hope you didn’t close the link when the credits started! There is still another little scene beyond the credits.
Ya gotta love it when evil is sexy
Emma Stone hit it out of the ball park!! I also enjoyed the soundtrack! I was in grade school in the 1960’s I listened to a lot of the music that was played in this movie.
This was fun. Both Emmas are great!

Did you just say something? Didn’t quite catch that. . .
Lol, you so wrong for that, lol
you
was ok.. i almost watched it all..

Nicely nuanced live-action prequel to Disney’s Animated Classic!
Be sure to stay for the mid-credits wink @ 2:06:20.
Then see the “Sequels” HERE!
Thats how to tell a story. No dull moments all through the movie. Bravo!
Winner! 4/5
Rescue a dog – get a ‘best friend’, you won’t regret it.
Ok. The movie is funny at times. The plot is fine for what it is. Interesting enough. But… this wasn’t Cruella. They wanted to do a villain origin, without making her a villain. Why? Why even bother? Kinda just seems like an excuse for a baller soundtrack.
Ain’t nothin’ in the world like a big-eyed girl. Horrible and unnecessary covers, though.
Covers? Are you referring to the two Ike and Tina songs that were included? I guess they’re covers, but I wouldn’t call Tina horrible or unnecessary.
Thanks was waiting for this!!!

I cant stand the pretentious nature of Emma Thompson in general,…but she is dammnn good in this !
Coming Soon! According to IMDb, Cruella Premieres in Theaters and on Disney+ Premier Access (streaming) on Friday, May 28th, 2021.
This was incrredible! Way more than Dalmations!! The soundtrack is a musthave in my library, good stuff! The Emma’s did awesome work, and this keeps your attention 100% of the time! Well worth the watch!

There’s no Stanley Tucci in this movie. Think you meant Mark Strong…
Ha! I get those two confused alla time too. Along with Chris Meloni
Yes, it’s Mark Strong and he’s a fine British actor. Rather surprised to see him in this movie with not a lot of screen time. If you’ve not familiar with Mark Strong, you should check him out!

Yo……… this was an awesome movie!!!!!
Fantastic, Emma Stone is amazing. 5/5
OMD….! Emma Thompson ..,I hate to love her .. !
I enjoyed it very much. 5/5
Great back story! Not badly written either, with humor thrown in!
That is a suprisingly brilliant movie. It has a wicked sense of homour, and both Emmas have thetime of their life. I had so much fun.
Bravo! Loved the story, casts, and music….watch it NOW!!! ;)
i loved all the old movie references! a beautifully well done movie. had a Joker kinda vibe
Surprisingly good!
Pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed this. Highly rated.
Soundtrack is top notch. When you got that Disney money you can shell out for all the classic’s other labels can’t afford. Acting was enjoyable as well.

This is probably the best movie of the year, Bar none! Must watch. Emma Thompson should get an Oscar!
Excellent, lots of fun. Just the right degree of melodrama and villainy and lashings of style. Hope we’ll seea sequel.
