Disney has ruined the original story, to keep a small minority of people happy, whist upsetting everybody else.
The actors did well in their roles.

"The Little Mermaid" struggles to maintain its charm when examined critically. While it undoubtedly holds nostalgic value and features some delightful moments, its regressive narrative choices and lack of character development hinder its ability to stand alongside Disney's more thoughtful and resonant offerings. As modern perspectives on gender roles and self-empowerment continue to evolve, "The Little Mermaid" feels like a relic of its time, unable to stay afloat in the vast sea of animated classics.… Expand

Remarkably dark and sinister in places, the underwater characters bob and sway with all the grace of a drowning victim, as if undergoing some macabre ritual to transform into a sea creature, but frozen halfway through the process. NoRemarkably dark and sinister in places, the underwater characters bob and sway with all the grace of a drowning victim, as if undergoing some macabre ritual to transform into a sea creature, but frozen halfway through the process. No performer stands a chance. Not due to lack of talent (although that's a problem too, primarily with the childlike void-simpleton prince) but instead there's too many problems to overcome, too many terrible decisions to rise above. It's as if the cast thought that their faces would be animated too in the end product, and therefor maintained a static expression as instructed. I also find it totally hilarious that we're given Javier Bardem in a fright wig and pearlescent merman armor, and yet it would be a total stretch to give the main animal characters just a little more expression or personality of any kind, as opposed to the thoughtless, absurd looking deathmask versions in the film. And then you get to the final scene of the film, which is more akin to a fan-fictioneer afterthought. Just in case people missed the main message of the film and needed a simplified version. These are the kinds of things that make me happy I haven't brought anyone into this world. If for no other reason than to spare them the indignity of these films. For its much much harder nowadays to keep your kids safe from the digital age.… Expand

The animated version is far better (and managed to tell a tight story in 82 minutes; this version is bloated).

That was the point of the original - the prince showed that he was worthy of a little mermaid despite the fact that he is "only" human.

This adaptation is shrouded in an unexpected gloom, and theDisney appears to have once again misstepped with a cherished classic. Their scant regard for the foundational work begs the question: why recreate, when you could create anew? This adaptation is shrouded in an unexpected gloom, and the computer-generated effects have crossed the border from subpar to downright eerie. The leap from animated whimsy to live-action reality falls short in ways that words struggle to encompass.

The alterations to the iconic musical score instigate more discomfort than nostalgia, and the plot revisions, aimed to please a presumed "contemporary audience," only serve to dilute the movie's essence. Moreover, the film's inflated length feels more like an unnecessary filler than meaningful narrative expansion.

This latest offering emerges as a lackluster imitation of the initial masterpiece, with its existence posing more questions than providing answers. You would be better off conserving your resources and simply re-experiencing the original's timeless magic.… Expand

Ariel no longer has her famous red hair, it is now a very dull orange. The actress playing her has an absolutely beatiful voice but again it is not Ariel because she looks like an iguana with eyes on different sides of her face. They made Halle change the iconic notes and melodies of the original songs so they sound very off and displeasing to the ears.

They have also removed many of the beloved original songs and replaced them with horrid "originals" that never should have made it past the discussion phase. After the atrocious gender changing of Scuttle they even went a step further and added one of the worst "raps" to ever be recorded that has nothing to do with the tone of the rest of the movie and every single person and child in the theater around me I could see had a grimace of contempt being forced to listen to it, so disrespectful to the original and it just would not end. Who thought The Little Mermaid needed a friggin' rap song? No one wanted or needed it and it completely takes you out of the movie. Several adults even walked out during it because of how terrible the entire scene was. No one I've spoken to about this remake of TLM has said a positive word about that entirely too long scene, so whoever gave that the go ahead needs to never be allowed to make discissions involving music in movies ever again.

The CGI and graphic effects don't look like they belong to a multi billion dollar company, they look out-sourced to a studio that gave the lowest bid. Everything is so dark and brooding looking when the original was bright and colourful.

Beloved characters like Flouder and Sebastian look like cheap mutant abominations that take away the magic from the original cartoon. This is a major part of why all of these remakes (besides Cinderella) have been horrible because they all have destroyed the magic of the originals because they take classic story paces away and add awful things in their place which not a single person enjoys and only hurts the good will hey have built up over the decades.

They even ruined Ursula and her eels because of the cheap CGI and atrocious make-up they gave to poor Melissa McCarthy. She is the ONLY person in the entire cast that actually seems like they want to be there and putting their best acting foot forward but unfortunately she cannot carry the entire movie since her appearance doesn't last long enough so we are left with the rest of the mediocre cast for far too long. I have never seen Javier Bardem look so bored and over a movie like he looks in this, like he just looks like he cannot wait to go home he just seems so bored.

They made Triton and Ursula related in this movie which was the only positive edition considering they took that out of the original TLM, however not a single character in this TLM look related at all. Melissa looks nothing like Javier, Halle looks nothing like either of them. Prince Eric doesn't even look like he's from the same part of the world as the rest of the cast let alone the actress playing his mother. I don't understand how you have an entire movie based around family drama where none of the characters even look remotely related at all. I genuinely do not understand how all of these horrid changes got greenlit unless it was done completely on purpose to drive up internet conversation about how they wholly destroyed another beloved classic in their catalogue. Someone once said "all attention is good attention" but this remake of TLM proves that it is absolutely not the case. They even had to ruin the ending to the original. Virtually none of the amazing aspects from the orginal still exist here outside of 'poor unfortunate souls' because of all the completely awful and unnessesary changes that were made for some inane reason.

The only surprise I found enjoyable was the 30 second cameo from Jodi Benson (original Ariel voice) but of course even though she's a stellar actress they couldn't even give her a decent part. It would've been so much better if she was cast as Eric's mother so you could at least pretend that Eric was actually RELATED to the person playing his mum.

I beg Disney to stop dancing on the corpse of my already dead childhood. These movies were the only thing as a severely bullied child that kept me going because they showed me everything would get better "you just have to get past the rough patches". All of these unnessesary remakes are retroactively runing the only solace I had as a child and I am so very disappointed that they continue to destroy everything they touch from cartoons to Star Wars to video games. Please stop ruining my childhood.… Expand

They are so creatively bankrupt that they can't even STEAL their old content effectively. The writers had an easy job: Take an old masterpiece + turn it into live action = easy money.

Wait...wait wait wait.....we have to check some boxes first. Change skin color for a bunch of people, change the theme of the story to be geared towards female empowerment (because Disney has never done that before), and make sure we hire people based on their skin color/gender. Talent? Pfff.....that's not a part of the hiring process you fool! Put aside all of the politically driven choices that were made for casting and writing (such as Arielle killing Ursula, not Eric), the film is just an absolute slog. I cannot imagine children wanting to watch this film. I was wanting to fast forward through it after only about 10 minutes. There is so much pointless fluff; it isn't exciting. What is the opposite of being "glued to your seat"? Wanting my seat to have an "EJECT" button? Yeah, that seems about right. Disney has no idea how to make movies anymore. It's just a fact. They don't care about entertainment and I don't think the executives even actually care about the various political causes they pretend to rally around either. They just care about the ESG money being funneled in from Blackrock and State Street. Well guess what Disney? I think that line of credit is starting to get tapped out. Your coffin might need one or two more nails but any way you cut it, modern Disney cannot continue in this fashion. What we the customers are left with are soulless PRODUCTS, devoid of any character, risk, heart, or quality. I have been watching the woke agenda take over for over 15 years. It was this year that normal people have finally....FINALLY started to notice. And it's about damn time.… Expand

Bailey is not a good fit for the role and her singing voice is not strong enough.

I hate the lack of originality: The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is very similar to the animated film. The plot, characters, and songs are all the same, and there is very little that is new or innovative about the remake. This makes me feel that the remake is unnecessary and that Disney is just trying to cash in on the nostalgia of the original film.

The abysmal CGI: The CGI in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is very poor. I could dust off an old Amiga computer and create more realistic CGI. The sea creatures look totally fake and unnatural, and the underwater scenes are often blurry and hard to see. This makes the film look dirt cheap and amateurish, and it takes away from the overall experience.

The lack of emotion: The live-action remake of The Little Mermaid lacks emotion. The characters are often wooden and unconvincing, and the story fails to elicit any real emotional response from the audience. This makes the film feel flat and lifeless, and it ultimately disappointed me. I was expecting much better.

In short: Watching seamonkeys is more interesting than that ill attempt of a movie.… Expand

They tried to empower Ariel to be this self-sufficient feminist version of herself at the cost to Eric and their relationship. The magic was lost in everything from the ship fist fight between Ursula and Ariel (as opposed to the sea animals helping), taking away Eric's role in the finale by killing Ursula and saving Ariel (now she's self sufficient and does that on her own), Eric not finding Ariel on the beach and that magic moment between them with the initial sparks, hell Eric even tries to kiss her on the boat and she moves away from him and switches to the other side of the boat. There is zero chemistry what so ever. I have never been so disappointed in a movie. The original is my absolute to this day and I feel as if this version butchered it and all the magic. The female "gannet" who replaced Skuttle has the most absolute annoying voice I have ever heard and it doesn't help when she raps her songs. Prince Eric being adopted into a Caribbean island also is so unrealistic and unnecessary. Halle does have a nice voice but her acting and facial expressions are awful. It was a very long movie, with many added songs, all not great and not needed. They really went ahead and butchered the original. All these sites won't even allow you to have a negative opinion on the movie or "you're racist" and all the ratings are censored.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mixed feelings after watching this movie. Let's put aside the fact that Disney doesn't know how to make movies anymore, let's put aside the fact that Disney has gone from the original concept of the movie by stuffing a lot of controversial changes into it that obviously hurt the movie's ratings. These are Disney's mistakes that they themselves made, for which they themselves are to blame. Let's continue ... As for me, the bias towards the realism of the underwater world is not the best idea, Flounder is an example of this. There are too many songs in the film and only half of them are of good quality. After listening to 2 songs, the third song will just get boring. As my friends said: the main character's acting is bad. The ending of the new little mermaid in my opinion is not canon. I don't even know what I like about the piece.… Expand

Ariel was already a girl boss in the original, like she knows what she wants and pursues it, girly making a move on a prince! that's already badass but nah they had to destroy a healthy relationship of two people helping, saving each other, and being there for each other. God forbid It seems like these days you're not considered badass and Girl boss if you want to find romance and want to build a healthy relationship with another person no matter how amazing of a woman you are. I also didn't get the nostalgic factor that I was hoping for, the visual is BORING and DREARY, her hair, the surroundings, and everything is so DISAPPOINTING.… Expand

He totally lacks masculinity, quick-wittedness and the energy Eric has. And what’s more? Halle Bailey’s acting is so weak and unconvincing. I don’t care her singing. I’m watching a movie and all I want is good acting. Her appearance certainly has nothing relevant to Ariel but I always hoped that her acting could somehow save it and bring me round but no, it is worse than what you can imagine.
