The cartoon itself was never really that good to begin with, but this is probably the most unfaithful adaptation ever made.

They would have been better off having it as a generic "Dog is a super hero" movie, but no, they had to make it Underdog for whatever reason. It's a lot like having a live action Mickey mouse movie, where all the characters are pets. Thank god Disney got their crap together before they went down that road.… Expand

Not a great film by any stretch of the imagination, but I laughed. and I enjoyed the homages.

Una pelicula aburrida de inicio a fin, sin una trama buena y se desenvolvia en lo minmo de siempre. Sinceramente no mostro nada nuevo y fue una tortura verla.

Making animals heros is already boring, and in a way disturbing to me… Expand

I give this one a... meh. The characters did have a neutral responsibility. It's not that amazing but, nice. I prefer the 1964 cartoon and my fanmade 2022 movie. That's all of my review.

I really enjoyed this movie, older audiences may not enjoy but younger audiences will be sucked in immediately by it's humor and intentionally goofy story.

A waste of six dollars plus popcorn. The plot was predictable and the acting was worse than Gigli. Do yourself a favor and spend the time on a funnier movie that at least has some originality.

A weak, unfunny, not very heroic movie that you see and only very young children are set to enjoy. The film also suffers because it tries to hard to be heartwarming and warm when it becomes the opposite. I give this film 14%.

Not as awful as its premise may suggest it is, it has its moments of adventure and humor, enough to fulfill the attention spans of children, even if it feels too ridiculous at times.

Underdog is an easily forgettable, throwaway flick strictly for children. The movie is sloppy, derivative, and cheesy, and never thrills us or gives us any compensation for its bad script.

Underdog is underwhelming.
This had all the makings to be a cute family film, but ends up just being puke worthy. There are no laughs, there is no story, and there is no message. A mindless, brainless, overly goof movie that a five year oldUnderdog is underwhelming.

Underdog is probably one of the least likely candidates for a movie adaptation. The cartoon super-hero is thirty years past his prime, existing over that time in just over 100 episodes that represent what animation has to look like when it’s churned out on a weekly basis. Even stranger is the fact that the resulting picture is an enjoyable family picture that has something to offer to both Underdog newcomers and fans who have stuck with the show over the course of its life.

As is sadly becoming standard for family movies, there are a few minor issues common to the genre. There are probably more references to dogs eating crap than there really need to be, and the climax of the movie comes to a screeching halt so the family can have a tender moment that solves all of their problems. As a super hero movie, however, this picture is actually a lot better than I expected and surpasses some of the more mundane origin stories out there. As a movie, Underdog is as unlikely, and as surprisingly successful, as the hero himself.… Expand

Underdog doesn't deserve a bad rating. It just needs to be better. That's all and it doesn't look like the originals even though the dog used in the movie is worth keeping.
