Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, a review by Dragonfire

Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

Top secret groups of cats and dogs must work together to stop the evil Kitty Galore from taking over the world.

My Thoughts

I really wasn't interested in seeing this one when I first saw the previews.  I saw the first Cats & Dogs movie years ago.  It was ok, but not a favorite.  Even though I wasn't wanting to see the movie, I ended up going.  It turned out to be better than I expected.

First, I was pleasantly surprised by a new Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoon that played before the movie.  I had no clue that one had been made.  I've loved the Looney Tunes characters for years, so seeing a new one, on the big screen, made it worth going to the movie for me.  The animation was CG instead of hand drawn, so that may turn some fans of the characters off.  They did look slightly off because of that, but it was still clearly Wile and Road Runner.  The cartoon is really cute and has Wile attempting again to catch Road Runner with a slightly modern method.  Of course things go wrong in hilarious ways.

The cartoon - and movie - were shown in 3D in some theaters.  I saw the normal 2D version.  I don't think I missed anything my not seeing the movie in 3D, though it would have been interesting to see the cartoon in 3D.

The plot is clearly influenced by the James Bond movies.  Children probably won't pick up on all those references like adults will.  The plot is fairly simple, but it still manages to be entertaining overall.  Yes it is rather silly, but it works.  Some of what happens is cute.  The animals can talk and if a human happens to be around, they will be able to hear them too.  There are funny moments, but there are too many gross jokes.  The humor definitely could have been better. 

The main characters are the animals, with humans having very limited roles.  None of the characters are developed much.  The voices are fine, though nothing special for the most part.

The movie is silly, but it ends up working overall as a fun, mostly cute movie.  It isn't going to appeal to a lot of people though.



I did get a review posted on Epinions.

I really enjoyed this film. It is unfortunate how relevant the topic of this film still is today. I really enjoyed the entire cast... especially the title character in the film. The story keeps your attenion easily and sheds light on a very important topic. This is a film I highly recommend.

Plot:
He's righteous. He's heroic. He's The Cape.

Vince Faraday (David Lyons, E.R.) is an honest cop on a corrupt police force. When he's framed for murder and presumed dead, he finds that he must go into hiding - leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, Life on Mars), and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, Flash Forward). Determined to battle the criminals who now control his hometown, Vince takes the law into his own hands and becomes The Cape-his son's favorite comic book superhero. Featuring an incredible supporting cast, including James Frain (The Tudors), Keith David (Death at a Funeral), Summer Glau (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Dorian Missick (The Manchurian Candidate), Martin Klebba (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Vinnie Jones (Snatch), it's the action-packed series that has critics raving, "'The Cape' is cloaked in awesome." (OK! Magazine)

Teddy Garces (Scales Thug #1), Nathan Axtell (Scales Thug #2), Peter Murnik (Officer #2)

Two reasons I bought this: It is a superhero series. And Summer Glau is in the main cast.
I took a chance on this series even if it was cancelled after only ten episodes. The first episode was nice to watch, although a little corny at times. I hope Summer Glau's part will be bigger in the other episodes than here. And I hope her purpose isn't constraint to be being the Oracle (from "Birds of Prey") kind of person stuck in front of a computer screen. She has shown here in one scene that she can kick a little ass. Hopefully this is used more.
