75In this case, it's considerably better, adapting the 007 template in a story of a crazed bald cat named Kitty Galore (voiced by a hissing, chichi Bette Midler) and her malevolent plot to conquer the world. It's brilliant in its simplicity
-
70A faster, funnier follow-up in which CGI-enhanced canines and felines effect a temporary truce to combat a common enemy.
-
With action aplenty, talking animals and enough gags to make any sane grown-up groan, "The Revenge of Kitty Galore" is a harmless but fun hot-weather diversion for the family.
-
63Between the carefully trained animals and their computer-animated mouths, the movie doesn't have much room for realism; but the 3-D effects are surprisingly effective, and this playful pic earns a pat on the head.
-
60A clever, funny movie that will entertain kids and adults.
-
50This isn't so much that the story and characters are weak -- though they very much are -- but that animatronics and computer animation so anthropomorphize these critters that they bear more resemblance to cartoons than actual flesh-and-fur animals.
-
50Though better than its 2001 predecessor -- and teeming with cute creatures and fast and furious action scenes -- the movie feels excessively formulaic.
-
50Stands to delight small children while probably causing their parents' heads to cave in.
-
42The movie is geared to preschoolers, so only parents dragged with them may complain. There's only that Looney Tunes overture to savor before the Acme production begins.
-
40Nine years on from the first movie but somehow the effects have gone backwards and the charm has gone missing.
-
38Parents in a masochistic mood can compound the headache-inducing experience by paying extra for the 3-D version.
-
38Tedious time-killer of a kiddie comedy.
-
30Although it's great fun for the under-8 set and for those of us monitoring the chaos theory that is Nolte's career of late, this film is otherwise mediocre and features some of the most uninvolving 3-D CGI since "Clash of the Titans" earlier this year.
-
30About as unremarkable as a film about talking animals organized into competing intelligence agencies can be.
-
30Mostly, though, "Kitty Galore" is a grind, as well as proof that "What up, dog?" isn't any funnier when a pigeon says it to a dog.
-
25Is it mindless fun for the kids in an air-conditioned environment? I guess, sure, but it's maddening how many details in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore are swiped wholesale from other stories.
-
25Aside from uninspired movie-parody gags, Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore suffers from gadget overload.
-
25No movie -- whether aimed at adults or kids or canines themselves -- has the right to be as tiresome and unoriginal as this action-comedy mutt.
-
20The James Bond parodies and genre riffs feel at least 20 years past their prime, and most will fly right over the heads of audience members 7 and under
-
20Fails to deliver enough clever gags, emotional warmth, or eye-popping 3D to compete with recent family releases.
-
20As for the movie itself, it is better than the original "Cats & Dogs." But so is a rabies shot.
-
0And it's still, in the spirit of the original film, an unbelievable piece of sh--.

AlanG0A horrible piece of crap. It makes the first one look bad. It makes battlefield earth look bad.
