Of course this film has some flaws but it's still quite a decent super-hero flick. Nothing exceptional, just old good family entertainment but what's wrong with that ? Dog's voices are well chosen and the dialogues are okay, and that's great because it's really a challenge to have pets talking and not be annoying after two minutes of unfunny jokes about been a dog. The CGI is not very good but, well, my personal opinion is that CGI is bad 95% of the time anyway ; wait ten years and you will see what I'm talking about. But it's not overused here and that doesn't hurt the eyes too much. Alex Neuberger doesn't know how to scream, right, and James Belushi doesn't do much and it will have been nice to give him some more lines, like the postman in "Racing Stripes" by the same director who is just not here all along. I never saw the old cartoon but to be faithful to it just to please some fans (sorry if I'm being rude here) would ruin the film. Just look at 'Astérix and Obélix' by Claude Zidi to have an idea of what it would be : something that looks like a good idea but is in fact just plain uninspired and boring. And for fans like me of Krypto the Superdog it's quite enjoyable.
And the best for the end : Peter Dinklage is the best choice for a villain. Him as Dr. Psycho in a possible Wonder Woman film would definitely be a smooth move. Usually action films for kids fail when it comes to choose who will play the villain. Underdog doesn't.
