Las adaptaciones live-action de Disney han corrido con suerte desigual, algunos han sido grandes éxitos de taquilla y otros no; algunos han sido muy bien recibidos por la crítica y otros no. El año pasado Mulan - 83% no pudo ser estrenada en cines debido a la pandemia de Covid-19, así que fue lanzada en Disney Plus directamente y la recepción entre la crítica fue buena pero los fans de la animada original la odiaron. Este año le toca el turno a Cruella, y las primeras reacciones de los críticos son bastante positivas.

Cruella es un remake live-action que se podría calificar de “revisionista”, similar a lo que hizo Maléfica - 50% con La Bella Durmiente - 92%; en este caso Disney tomó a la villana de 101 Dálmatas - 98% y le dio una historia de origen que varios comparan con El Diablo Viste a la Moda - 75%, y algunos incluso con Guasón - 91%. Estas comparaciones no resultan tan sorprendentes, ya que desde el lanzamiento de los tráilers, los fans habían dicho que parecía ser un híbrido de ambas películas.

Dirigida por Craig Gillespie (Las Horas Contadas - 63%, Yo, Tonya - 96%, Un Golpe de Talento - 63%) y protagonizada por Emma Stone (Zombieland: Tiro de Gracia - 84%, La La Land: Una Historia de Amor - 92%, Se Dice de Mí - 85%) y Emma Thompson (Sensatez y Sentimientos - 98%, Lo Que Queda del Día - 100%, El regreso de la nana mágica - 75%), Cruella será estrenada en cines este 27 de mayo. A continuación les dejamos las primeras reacciones de los críticos:

@JimmytotheO has seen the delightful @cruella! One of the biggest and best surprises of the year! #EmmaStone is perfection, and #EmmaThompson is exceptional! It may take a bit to get going, but once it does you are in for a hell of a show! Wickedly wild, it’s a darkly comic joy! pic.twitter.com/nR7Rg9XLTW

#Cruella is #Joker meets #TheDevilWearsPrada and possibly the best live-action #Disney movie yet. #EmmaStone is just mind-blowing, and #EmmaThompson matches her every step of the way. This movie is something special... @cruella pic.twitter.com/5qvHSkYj9A

#Cruella is absolutely divine. Deliciously devilish, wonderfully wicked, undeniably outrageous. Emma Stone & Emma Thompson are truly an iconic pairing & they play it to the hilt. Costume designer Jenny Beavan deserves 3rd billing. Plus, it’s got a killer soundtrack. @cruella pic.twitter.com/N5UFEnmSr1

#Cruella is a wickedly fun watch w/ amazing costumes & an epic soundtrack. Emma Stone and Emma Thompson are exceptionally evil & hilarious, and they make the movie memorable. Also, Paul Walter Hauser steals scenes, as he tends to do. It's like a Disneyfied DEVIL WEARS PRADA pic.twitter.com/dUSjlVlgsu

Categorizing #Cruella as great isn't hyperbolic. Because it’s great.

Incredibly directed and crafted -- wouldn't shock me if it scored Best Production Design and Best Costume Oscar noms -- and well acted: everyone is having fun and that fun imprints itself on the film's DNA. pic.twitter.com/tGJLyeMWzW

#Cruella is an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS film! Every outfit is STUNNING & fits perfectly in the London punk rock era. Emma Stone is FLAWLESS as Cruella & her version blows Glenn Close's version out of the water! The soundtrack is FIRE!🔥

Don't miss the post credit scene! WOW! @cruella pic.twitter.com/2YJfP7pwzu

#Cruella is a tasty caper. Rich visuals and creative cinematography enhance this pithy origin story dipped in camp. Emma Stone crackles as she evolves in the titular lead opposite Emma Thompson’s tart Baroness. Joel Fry and Paul Walter Hauser make for delightful partners in crime pic.twitter.com/wrS3xLtVVY

#Cruella is one of Disney’s strongest live-action remakes that gives an updated origin story for a new age whilst showcasing breathtaking fashion.

Emma Stone is wildly entertaining in the titular role as she fully commits to the villain persona in a fearless & bold performance. pic.twitter.com/cK583U6Ow5

CRUELLA tells the origin story of one of Disney’s greatest villains with a 70s punk rock style, a splash of DC comic book madness & a lot of camp. Emma Stone & Emma Thompson tear into their roles with wicked charm while the costumes are to die for! The de Vil Wears Prada indeed! pic.twitter.com/E28Lhnup3s
